> more cost effective and less environmentally destructive methods There are few options that are both these things. Which is not an argument to not fund R&D to reach that point, s…

Thats is the only reason not counting infrastructure, storage, peak-usage logistics, winter-usage logistics. Oh, and the fact that weather is temperamental, not consistent, not und…

Eh, its not really that bad. The variable latency needs to be much more extreme to be noticeable. 250ms is about the threshold where I start to feel hampered. So going from 34ms->7…

Well sure, when talking about experience. But not wealth. A millionaire living in my city is objectively wealthy regardless of age. I'm not "wealthy" by any means. Despite that, my…

I feel like age shouldn't factor in, only location. Granted expenses will be different based on age, but they don't seem to be using expenses to determine "rich-ness" at all.

Which do you recommend? Which is cheaper? Which has better longevity?

This is not an example of Appeal to Authority because Ben Franklin is an accepted authority. If all parties agree on the reliability of an authority in the given context it becomes…

More importantly, I don't believe we could prevent another 9/11 even with government mandated backdoors.

Benjamin Franklin is a Founding Father and has been generally accepted as an authority for more than 200 years, especially on the subject of freedoms and rights. He was a renown po…

The truck would have to get 50-60 miles to the gallon to even begin to be competitive with a VPN.

What if I want to take my data back? Is there a way to export everything I've added?

The easiest way to pick up a new language is to just build something in it. I'd like to learn Python because there are some things I want to do with it, but those projects are well…

But its still easier to break into tech.

Its missing the bar from the pedals to the back tire. If you sat on this bike, all your weight would rest on the joint under the seat, bending the front half of the frame away from…

Interesting concept. This is similar to something I've been thinking of building for some time. My concern is that its a paid subscription service. What happens to all my info if I…

What prevents hostyoself.com (or more likely, a malicious actor that hacked HYS) from executing a MITM attack on everything?

Depending on scale, its usually easier to spin a new server than prevent malware.

I like it so far, but J to navigate down and K to navigate up is not intuitive at all. It should be flipped to match our Left-to-Right-Top-to-Bottom understanding of layouts

I am the same way. I have trouble falling asleep (will toss and turn for 45 minutes to 2 hours), so I'm loathe to wake up before I absolutely have to, because once I'm asleep, I wa…

In the event of an emergency where you lose internet access (natural disaster, EMP, stranded on a trip), what sort of information would you want with you? Given how cheap SD cards …
