When there is a need (remote space colonies for example), they might need to develop a more robust process that would trade off size and speed of chips for ease of manufacturing.

To be fair, making wood utensils from scratch is multiple orders of magnitude easier than not being poor.

Car traffic might be reduced per capita in higher density areas, but all of it is concentrated and is right near all the people. Multiply by the sirens of ambulance and police that…

Those black rubber playgrounds (not sure if that's the same) smell like a chemical factory exhaust on a sunny day (you can also fry some industrial-solvent-laden eggs). Not sure ab…

China is doing pretty well on that front, yeah...

I share all the reservations about this flavor of "safety", but I think you misunderstand who gets protected from what here. It is not safety for the end user, it is safety for the…

Humans _are_ inherently "made human" by a long path of evolution. We have a set of conflicting heuristics that serve as our initial values and which are more helpful than harmful o…

If you already have a plugin hybrid and a good portion of your trips is under its EV range, why would you need an EV anyway?

I don't think that release was a surprise to the board, so wouldn't that happen before the release?

That's an aquatic beetle, a lot of those store their own air supply under their wings...

No, it is just people who are trying to do something would achieve more in that area than people who are not trying, regardless of conditions. You could change things so that tryin…

Why don't you focus on that instead?

> "German energy policy of the last two decades" and "Let's Invade Ukraine and Blackmail Europe!" There is a good argument that those two are related. Energy is a weapon of war for…

He does have a point about food animals though. We are perfectly ok with treating them horribly their whole lives to save few cents on the costs (not to mention killing them at all…

That's not much different than supplying other kinds of weapons (and anti-ship missiles are on the list anyway, if not from US then from UK). Also everybody is mostly over nuclear …

Another option for #4 is supplying enough long range anti-ship rockets to sink whole russian fleet in black sea. They can't bring in more ships, because turkey is blocking the entr…

They are aircraft that is cheaper than anti-aircraft rockets normally used. One shot from anti-aircraft system cost 50-200k depending. This is great when the target costs 50 millio…

Don't expect him to be _able_ to play hero even if he wanted.

I'm no fan of the invasion, but "the war had already been planned and decided months ago" is not an argument you might think it is -- NATO stuff was going on pretty much since USSR…

Well, I've seen hilarious translations in official versions too. RAM translated as "Male sheep" on android system info screen for example.

Adblocking works just fine on mobile too, with a few more jumps, at least on adnroid.

I just looked at my AWS account and there seems to be a way to set budget, attach alerts to it and attach actions to alerts. For example there is an action to stop EC2 instances. N…

I meant mostly in general. For this particular case obviously previous packages didn't show it clearly enough. And yes, if you give thousands of 3rd party devs (or anybody snatchin…

Malice or selling out is not even required. Malware groups are perfectly capable of getting access to maintainer credentials themselves if needed.

Well, do you want bad security practices changed because of a prank that hit millions of machines or because of a cryptolocker that did the same? We should encourage old-style pran…
