The government interferes with many commodities. Food, oil, rare-earth elements, sugar, airplane frames, etc

Maybe OP customized the system “dark theme” to be extra light.

Do the bots care? Seemingly very little intelligence in many of them. Could be as simple as the site has more pages, so more traffic. Loot first, ask questions later.

I suspect wind investment is going to take a decade to recover. Nobody wants to deal with a legal fight if they can avoid it. Offshore wind takes a lot of planning and engineering …

I am reminded of the speech analysis of the Bush administration talks before the Iraq war. Colin Powell and others knew the intelligence was bad, so predominately shifted to passiv…

What even is a 20% delta in performance? Like a five year old difference in hardware design. If I could get a micro kernel with a better security profile than Linux, that doesn’t s…

That seems pretty anathema to current trends. The underlying refrain is that users are stupid and cannot be trusted. Faster horses and all that. Shut up monkeys, I will tell you wh…

China stopped buying 5.5 million barrels of oil per day (quarter of what was carried in the Strait). Huge reduction that has slowed down the catastrophe by months.

Exactly how many people do you think are allowed to communicate the status of weapon stockpiles? You are only ever going to get off-the-record comments or a top official letting de…

There is some brotherhood of coders who will not acknowledge programmers are anything less than perfect. All bugs and errors are the fault of project managers.

Nothing infuriates me quite like an additional gaming account inside of a dedicated gaming platform. Running under a Steam/PSN/Xbox account and want to play the game you just bough…

I suppose /usr/sbin/nologin is not a thing? https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/nologin.8.html

Do most installations create a git user account with login permissions?

I hope this is not true, but it feels plausible to me. All of those “TV boxes” selling residential proxies may be thousands of additional Linux installs showing up in the stats. If…

What business domain is the software?

Red Bulls are a pretty pedestrian caffeine content by today’s standards, 80mg/can. Other brands are usually 150-200 mg.

That lemonade was stupidly high, 390mg caffeine. Only serious addicts could drink that without noticing strong effects. What’s most remarkable about that case, is that it was a Pan…

Emphasis on the slightly. I believe it would take weeks of only consuming heavy water. You could certainly drink a single glass of it without ill effects.

I at first thought you meant taking hydrogen gas and burning it in O18, which seems even simpler than bulk processing water.

Sure, you cannot do 1M, but there are plenty of useful questions you could ask that are far more modest. Simple Q+A, look at this function, how would you design X? All of those cou…

I saw someone’s excellent idea that if you have a slow system like this, you should communicate by email. It is no longer meant for realtime iteration, but more pointed questions f…

The US is technically metric in that the units are defined in terms of the metric equivalent. A US inch is exactly 2.54cm.

I am failing to understand why there would be a distinction. They all seem arbitrary set points you learn. 450F vs 230C does not feel like anything gets easier there. Maybe in some…

Considering the two different people who fat finger my email address when signing up for services, I wish more systems required a validation step. Janet and Jake, I am sick of gett…

Somewhat relatedly, how do the economics for Huggingface work? They must be hosting petabytes of models and datasets by now. I have downloaded quite a few “just in case”, only to r…
