I work in a critical field. My employer (the State by the way) requires my laptop and phone must be encrypted. I could lose my job or much worse of I give my password to anyone. So which law trumps the other one?
They won't because the world's supply of zinc will be exhausted within a few decades even without the use for battery. Zinc is used as a coating material, and as such it is impossible to recycle. And there are only a few mines and potential mines on the planet... It's one of those base elements whose supply is already critical, I don't think they'll be able to ramp it up for mass production of batteries.
Anybody can recognise a sport at once, and yet nobody can give a proper definition of it. An 'encyclopedia of sport' I opened decades ago gave a definition the included chess and excluded mountain climbing which I found ridiculous. Chess is a game, as are bridge and video games. It's not because you have stinky underarms at the end of the day that you've been doing a sport.
I used to live in Italy 2 decades ago. Packages with interesting (very loosely defined) things in them NEVER arrived. Packages with uninteresting (a brick maybe) things in them would arrive after a month and with several large holes in the package. It was to the point where I wondered why they didn't send ALL the mailmen to jail and start afresh with new hires. I don't know if it has improved since then but I somehow doubt it.
Cans of Tuna, for example, went from 6.5 ounces to 6 ounces and the reduction continued to 3 ounces.
I was also noticing that cans of sardines now look spacious. The old saying "packed like a can of sardines" no longer applies as you can easily add one or two in most cans while in the past there was absolutely no space.
I was wondering just that. I've been on linkedin since its inception and I do login about once every 2 months and never do anything with it. But since I offer a training course, last week I though about using it to somehow publicize that fact. But after looking around for an hour I have no idea how you are supposed to do that. So I'll go back to forgetting about it.
Fortnite could be Madden, Call of Duty, et cetera.
Right. If my significant other (or kids for that matter) had such an addiction, I'd change their hosts file to include a line such as 0.0.0.0 fortnite.com and solve the problem for good.
I'd say you'd be better off purchasing a plane ticket to Europe, getting a phone and a plan here and going back home, except for the fact that those plans are free to use outside the country of origin for only about a month a year. Supposedly. Never mind the fact that I used mine outside for 3 months last year without paying an extra cent. Go figure... (and there's another advantage, it's that in the home country they'll only use your provider, but in foreign country they'll roam on any available tower, so they have much better coverage outside than inside the country of origin !)
Do 'per minute' plans still exist ? I have a 50 hours per month + 150Gb per month for 18€ plan which also works in 80% of the countries in the world at no extra charge. I certainly don't care about counting the minutes.
But just as the dynamics of large groups start changing around 150
That's bullshit. It's way before that, between 15 and 30. Source: I've done winterovers in Antarctica with groups of between 13 and 32 people for a year each time. Above a certain number, the group splits in two, but that depends on a lot of factors, like overall stress (higher number) and whether or not there are several charismatic individuals who don't get along (and hence bring their little clique around them and split away from the others). It's been studied extensively in Antarctic research.
Also about the more than 4 people conversation I have something to add. My wife is rather shy. She'll be talkative with friends if the total number is 4. If there are 5 or more people around the table, she'll just clam up and won't utter a word. I never understood why but this article provides a tentative explanation.
I always found it overrated and completely irrealistic (which says a lot in a SF settings...). One recent book I enjoyed in that space opera vein is the Bobiverse trilogy; it's a fast read: We are legion and the other two by Dennis E Taylor.
What was the name of the book from the chief engineer on Apollo ? It was fantastic, explaining how they tackled all the problems one after the others. Or at the same time. And also about how they received the famous "Houston, we have a problem".
I really wonder that. I support tor. I've never actually used it because I don't have much to hide, but I understand that other do. So I ran a tor relay (not exit) as my way of supporting the project for a while; from my home adsl. After a while I noticed some weird stuff going on. Some websites (important ones) wouldn't load properly. Emails sent would bounce or simply never reach their destination. After looking at the problem I found that my IP was on some minor blacklists. I stopped the relay and after 2 days I was off the blacklists. Hence my question, if running a simple relay gets you blacklisted, what does running an exit point does to your other internet usage from that IP ? Who can afford separate IPs besides institutions ? So who is really really running them ? Certainly not private citizens...
Well, everything is still available, so it doesn't really matter.
Do I think that the content created because of law prescribed quota will be any good? Not really.
Well, on average, probably, but just look at the amount of Hollywood remakes of small european movies... Even those have a use in Hollywood when they have success and are original.
Is there even a single line of rust in the kernel? There used to be some c++, but I think it's long gone now, or maybe left for some specific architectures...
How I look forward to this new update... I just finished the week of install of the last upgrade. I need Win10 for exactly ONE program which doesn't run on Linux, so I run Win10 in a VM. I installed it on a 20Gb VM. Then each upgrade asked for more disk, I gave it to them. That last upgrade managed to ask for a fucking 70Gb ! And then it crashed after working for 20 hours that I couldn't use the VM. And proved impossible to repair (after a day trying). And I stupidly had forgotten to do a snapshot. So I had to restore from backup. Over the network (10 hours) and the backup ended up on a VMDK disk (non resizable), which I had to transform to VDI resizable (20 hours over the network, twice because I forgot the --format option). And then I had to go through one year of Win10 upgrades again (hint, it took like 5 reboots and 3 days). Fuck Win10 with a chainsaw, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. And it's ugly too and file explorer keeps getting worse and unusable.
There used to be a firefox plugin that would search for random keywords every few minutes on google, downloading the page in the background and deleting it. I wonder if it's still around.

Also, apparently it's considered humane to euthanize mice with CO2? I'd think that'd cause painful asphyxiation.
It's painless: you just pass out.

So how hard would it be to add IR sensors on the lawn mower to avoid killing anything at body temperature ? Not hard I reckon.

What, you don't vote on who should pilot the airplane when you get on board ? But democracy is the superior way !

I was really proud one day that I managed to get a scammer to cry in the phone with this exact same line.

Can we get support for NFS in Android and Chromium instead of this shit ? Please.

Do I want someone regulating what I watch? No.

Like they say: "If voting could change things, it would be illegal..." Maybe we are seeing an aspect of it here.
