Let’s go with what this is actually about, windmills. I lived next door to a farm with windmills on it and I actually found them mesmerizing and nice to look at. Also a fun talking…

Isn’t that the same bet that famously profitable companies like Uber did in the ride share market?

This thread was similarly eye opening to me. But it explains why that store is always packed, apparently people just do weekend trips to Costco.

When you get up from a seat and walk a few steps you are already doing that on something that is hurtling down space. We don’t notice that our planet moves a lot, because we can’t …

Semiconducting materials have relatively small band gaps, they are insulators that take very little additional energy to become conductors. In contrast good insulators incinerate b…

That shouldn’t be a problem then given that we don’t care about environmental impacts anymore.

The fissile elements and the oxygen that makes up water already came from stars.

I assume if the people willingly wanting all these extras were enough, their business wasn’t an exercise in adding as many dark patterns as possible. But you are right, I don’t hav…

How else would the OS know your read/write 16 pages away from the current stack pointer is in fact an attempt to increase the stack and not just really bad pointer arithmetic and a…

“Ad” supported? It’s other people holding the bag for falling for these.

I think they meant state sponsored censorship. Which definitely does exist, but it seems companies are quite creative in circumnavigating a lot of it.

I don’t agree with the arrest and definitely not every law either, but this has got to be rage bait. I’m quite happy to live in a society with laws

Doesn’t that just move the problem 7 days down the road? I always assumed these kinds of things just burn themselves because someone gets infected and realizes, not that there is a…

ReactOS does not have the features that the parent specifically asked for (and that you quoted). It’s also far from being usable as a production OS. What the parent wants doesn’t e…

Not everyone not conforming to your preferred style of communication is autistic. What is up with the internet trying to diagnose people?! The parent is right. The reason society a…

It’s hardly Banksy’s fault for getting famous. Was Banksy supposed to stop creating art once it was no longer being washed off and seen as a nuisance?

This is such a naive view on computer security. It’s not just about spyware, which is also not exclusive to commercial vendors.

It’s a company that turns plants into meat like substance. There is no plant that grows like this, of course it has to be processed to get from its original form to the new form. L…

Missiles are a lot more expensive and much less reusable than goons though. If the nation state can’t afford the goons, it can’t afford to missile you either

I definitely assumed they were encrypted separately in 2048 vote chunks and that one such chunk failed to decrypt.

The coat asymmetry with drones is crazy, they are stupid cheap to deploy on a nation state level. I feel like it’s going to be years until we fully learn the lessons from the Ukrai…

Absolutely, but they are not losing a billion+ in EUV machines with year+ lead times in a flood. It'll hurt for sure though and doesn't appear to be the smartest overall move.

They are not fabbing the chips there, just assembling the machines.

As a youtube premium subscriber I don’t care if youtube earns more money this way than via ads. I simply don’t want to see ads.

That was my first thought as well, especially given the accusation of code of conduct violation. Not that I think that Adafruit is perfect no matter what, but I would have been sho…
