That CNN website is great, except it still has a huge cookie banner. Looking at the cookies of the site, I think the only cookie it sets is that i clicked on the banner. Most of th…

This is one of the best, succinct lists of motivations for hybrid warfare i've seen. But i could suggest another potential benefit for russia: If russia already operates under the …

How does it solve for time without location? With GPS location and time are one solution to an equation with 4 unknowns (x,y,z,t). Without location you won't know the time delay be…

I appreciate the effort you put in the comment, and úsed sources rather than just voicing unsubstantiated criticisms. But still, the mentality in this thread made me double-check i…

I have bought the new SQ probes and went back to only buying the older version. The new ones are heavier, but that makes it harder to put them at an angle, they fall over more quic…

The hub motors on the car in the OP run at ~24k RPM (faster than any production electric car AFAIK) and have a multistage planetary gearbox for reduction. Pretty much all top Formu…

Super capacitors are highly overrated by the general public. They really aren't that much better than lithium ion except for in a very narrow power/time bandwidth.

The strangest thing to me is that apparently this material has been developed years ago, the video of a piece floating was uploaded 3 months ago, and apparently it's easy to produc…

To add to the list: The Netherlands has "rijksoverheid" (government) in sans and serif. https://www.rijkshuisstijl.nl/publiek/modules/product/Digita...

Reddit going downhill is mostly because they are trying to become more like Meta. A competitor should be less meta, not more meta.

I think the original goal, and one I still support, is for websites to realize that they are better off with not showing the banners and just defaulting to "no". It's been surprisi…

When I tried waymo a month or two ago a remote "driver" took over. When we called the support center about it later they told us that it's not them literally taking over the contro…

You are probably European? The US uses CCS1 which doesn't support 3 phase anyway.

The problem for san Francisco is that they just attract more homeless whenever they try to help them. You can not solve poverty in a single city with open borders, you need to solv…

The program in the article linked is specifically targeted to some of the poorer neighborhoods in Amsterdam. These neighborhoods are known for them being largely inhabited by the d…

"Sydney" clearly wasn't well suited to the task it was given. But I hope these early widespread LLM's will be saved somewhere and at some point released to the public. It feels lik…

There is one thing that might point towards Russia blowing up their own pipeline: Before the pipes were destroyed completely, the Russians were coming up with all sorts of strange …

I wonder how much value there would be in having some level of dissimilar redundancy in (soon to be) NATO air forces. All NATO countries having fleets of the F35 makes us vulnerabl…

This video feels like just a product page read out loud.

Based on his recent company, Jared Kushner. If he can bring peace to the Middle East then fixing Twitter should be a breeze.

All these proposed strategies to live with variable storage only work for short term variability, in places close to the equator. In my country, there is an almost 10x difference o…

Society already slows down a lot when the sun is down. Is that dystopian too?

Twitter gave a firehose access to just about everyone who asked in 2010. My university used to do all sorts of data science experiments with Twitter data around 2012.

If someone would offer me 10k in cash instead of a bank transfer I would assume they are a criminal anyway...

Isn't user-generated video mostly dead though? The vast majority of videos on Youtube, at least by viewership hours, seems to be produced by professional youtube creators. These ra…
