Does anyone know how they’re monetizing it? Are they planning on selling the terminal multiplexer?

You simply add 3.67, multiply by .27, and then subtract 1.0. Easy.

Side note--is there any way to access reddit now for people who refuse to log in or get the app? Old reddit asks tells me I have to use new reddit for "security" and new reddit say…

An interesting analogue to "What color are your bits" in the tech world, as well as a direct disproof of your "two identical numbers are the same bits" statement (although perhaps …

You don't think Americans care about cost savings, with how much they complain about gasoline prices?

Exactly. The vast majority of the launching torque comes from the electric motor, even if there is no battery at all.

What do you imagine happens if the battery is low and the car wants to start from a stop? The engine can't shift down to first so it would just stall out if you tried to use it to …

You don't do a full climb after a go-around, so the heights are not equal, and the mass is less since you've expended fuel. You also retain some kinetic energy but I assume that is…

Sorry, I meant in the low speed, high acceleration regime (maybe easily confounded with takeoff?). There the engine will turn one motor to generate electricity, which will then pow…

> you're carrying all that dead weight for the rest of the flight If you're recharging the batteries for extra go-arounds during landing, they are as dead weight as the fuel you wo…

The Prius is in series, or something like it.

It cannot do dynamic filtering [1]. Another big one I forgot about is no CNAME uncloaking. Don't get me wrong, uBOL is still a great add on, it's just not possible to do everything…

It is when compared to Firefox. Safari and now Google claim that it's for security, as the newer interfaces expose way less attack surface for malicious add-ons. I think that it's …

I think the limitations are similar to the manifest v3 issues that the Chrome version has. Specifically, you (the ad blocker) send the browser a list of sites to block, instead you…

The end result[1] looks quite impressive! The animation feels like it's quite high quality--very smooth. However, some things seem off: bad lip sync, minor animation errors, discon…

Unless I’m misunderstanding it wrong, any kind of porn would pass the first two prongs of the Miller test: it’s for purient purposes and it has depictions of sexual acts. As for th…
