It's a quote from "The Soul of a New Machine."

That's on the other side of the river from New Orleans. To what I think is your larger point, that project is a small part of the efforts at water control around New Orleans. But, …

That is a case of a specific chemical in tires, not microplastics generally, or even rubber tire particles generally.

Why do you say "nothing to see here" ? The existence of the earlier paper does not imply that procedures corrected for this afterwards. Is there any published protocol for a study …

I've ordered books that were print-on-demand and had them arrive in 3 days. Some of the Amazon ones will have the exact date in the back, and I can see they were printed the day I …

I have used a DR-DOS 7 that was set up with a nice task switcher, between terminate-and-stay-resident programs ( not true concurrent processing ). This setup started WP5.1, a sprea…

I've thought about making a C02 scrubber for indoor use. The simplest way, using commercial lime, would mean replenishing a consumable to keep it going. The C02 scrubbers that acqu…

This could develop into a chance for a crypto wallet to shine.

Or, press it into soft clay and then fire the clay.

I don't think that piece of plastic would last as long as you think. I think even ABS or PETG would be crumbling to powder in 100 years. But you could use it as a stamp for thin sh…

But currently, most of the high intensity retail areas tax the landlords on the value of the land PLUS the value of the building ( "improvements" ). They owe this tax even if the b…

I think the NYT is involved in lawsuit claiming garbling them through an LLM is still copyright violation. In any case you could link to them and display the headline, and maybe th…

An automated system was already made to collect and sort them, that system should provide it's sources. I can self-fact-check anything, but a system that could provide origin sourc…

This article didn't make complete sense to me. However I think what it describes overlaps somewhat with the "Cravath System" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cravath_System The wiki p…

If I click through to the original article https://www.texastribune.org/2025/05/28/texas-fracking-water... , it doesn't seem to justify your summary of "giving protections to oil c…

I would appear that you can buy it on Alibaba: https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?tab=all&SearchText=asbe... I have not tried, although I was tempted just out of curiosity -- wou…

In addition to the browser extension, you need a web proxy -- a bit of server side code that acts as the nostr client and gets the page, and displays it over ordinary http/https. O…

The point is not about what Minio's legally required obligations are. The point is, there is a community project, and Minio has revealed they are leaving the community. It's not il…

This is an LLM trained using a $100 budget to RENT access to graphics cards. It's not about what you could do BUYING hardware for $100.

This is related, but not wireless, and works only for the Powershot series of cameras: https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/CHDK It is used for DIY book scanners.
