Not at all. 3.5 Billion kWh is 3.5 TWh.

Hmm interesting, thank you! It sounds a bit like "vernacular design" used to kind of mean "design and manufacturing done by the common people" to meet simple needs rather than over…

I've never heard the term _divulgadores_ (I don't speak Spanish, so that's no surprise), but it sounds maybe like "science communicator" in this context? There's something a bit mo…

If you're interested in learning about this kind of navigational knowledge, about how Pacific Islander sailors could hop from island to island over the horizon without maps, I reco…

Crudely, we would say "don't shit where you eat". I've heard from the early (as in, 80's) hacking days some of the people in the US would never hit targets in their own state, as t…

And it's a good model I think, to take some responsibility for public property. Not just "your sidewalk", as in the sidewalk that touches your private yard, but also "your street",…

> Only founder led companies and family owned businesses can stand up to the immense pressure from the dogmas of modern finance. How about worker-owned companies, co-operatives, an…

Paying a fair price to sustain something you want to see continue to exist isn't charity. Paying the lowest price you possibly can nearly always means someone along the way was exp…

You might want to look at the full preprint, https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.06.21261707v... I'm not in the field, but on page 13 you can see that there's a conside…

Well the demo is live, it's linked right there and you could try it. I did, and after typing in the left-parens inside the already existing left-parens, tylr gave me a right-parens…

No ad blocking is going to get rid of that though, until you run something analyzing the actual video/audio content and not just the source of streams or how they're loaded.

Two of the last paragraphs: > All of this is technically possible, and as we have seen, it would produce less in emissions than the present alternatives. However, it’s more likely …

That's really cool! It looks like you're in the SFBA (or at least launched your boat from nearby), so are you familiar with Sofar and Saildrone? Do you have a way for people to fol…

It sounds like you bike for most of your transportation in your city? That's what "anti-car" people (speaking as one myself) want: to emphasize infrastructure that enables and enco…

This is unfortunately the current state of consumer hardware: "monthly recurring revenue" is the number everyone chases, subscriptions are the hotness, and you sell hardware as a l…

It's interesting that the moment RMS speaks about really crystalizing software freedom in his mind was when he couldn't access the software running a printer so that he could add a…

Gendered terms are becoming less popular to describe people in situations where their gender doesn't matter. So we might say "mail person" or "mail carrier", the same as we say "fi…

The project site has a page on the process, not quite a step-by-step guide, but probably enough to satisfy curiosity. https://www.thefenlandblackoakproject.co.uk/the-table-top

This is coming in late, but the short answer is "I have no idea". The slightly longer answer is "I don't know. But once you have the space and equipment and you're sure you can han…

That 300mm is a different measurement. It's not a typo and they're refering to the size of the wafers, in this case 300mm diameter (very close to 12 inches).

I haven't seen the details here, but I've been laid off twice in the last two years, in both cases when "the employer provided COBRA" they meant they are paying my COBRA premiums. …

Specifically to the campaigns playing songs, copyright also has a concept of "moral rights", specifically one considered "right to integrity of the work". Where this lands on a tec…
