Yes because we all know in a growing world with growing interdependency on trade the most viable step forward is to start by cutting 90% of logistic capacity in new manufacturing?

This. Firefox's commit graph on Github has been perfectly stable at over 1000 commits a week for the past year. At no point in the graph can you see where this mascot was developed. It turns out when you have more than one person you can do more than one thing at a time. For some reason this seems to be a shock repeatedly to some Slashdot users.

TIL Mozilla had a team translating KB articles to Japanese. TIalsoL that Mozilla had KB articles. I honestly thought it was just an automated bot that replied "WONTFIX" to every question.

And what "tech" do you suggest they do? They've been averaging over 1000 commits per week to their code based for the entire year now. You can't pick on the development graph where they have done this "instead" of anything. In fact the Firefox codebase is so actively worked on several of Github's insight tools don't work on it throwing an error saying there are too many changes to analyse.

So please do tell us what the fuck you're talking about.

But why does it matter? The problem with moving forward in HTML standards is that you need a goal to move towards. The modern browser can do fucking anything. It can emulate entire operating systems. https://www.pcjs.org/blog/2015... What more do you need? Connection to remote operated sex toys for your porn collection? Oh wait we already made that possible too https://developer.chrome.com/d...

The "we didn't use CGI, this was all practical" advertising campaigns. While I hope it is less bullshit than the no-CGI movement, it is worth noting that NO ONE CARES.

Absolutely. The instantly seeing something is a key. That said resolution is quite irrelevant. In most cases the limiting factor is the lens and nailing the focus. Sure if you're a photographer creating 3m wide masterpieces then resolution becomes key (then you're probably also comparing against large format but let's not get into that discussion), but for 99.999% of photos out there it's wasted data.

That's actually not true. It would absolutely be worth complaining about an exterior building door locking someone in. Theft risk or not there needs to be doors that are openable from the inside without a key. That definitely IS part of fire safety codes.

But this barrier isn't doing shit. It's not just the OP. A good half the people here read the word "trapped" and got triggered without even remotely looking into TFA to see a picture of ... world's lamest trap.

People expect to be paid for commute time too, at least in the sense that they will want more money if the commute is longer. Work from home made just coming to the office at all something which people want more money for.

$6 billion could do a lot to end hunger in many parts of the world. Instead, Musk bought Twitter and turned it into a hellsite, and told people to have more kids.

Absolutely not. In fact before you even get to flying larger aircraft you're certified to fly smaller ones without even considering that multiple different certifications are done in parallel since pilots do not always fly just one aircraft. It's not many, but it's usually more than one.

Bunker fuel isn't a fuel. It's a name for a different set of fuels that ships use. Among those is Heavy Fuel Oil (which is effectively banned now), Marine Fuel Oil (what you are talking about, a low sulphur and slightly lighter variant of HFO), and ... Marine Diesel Oil (actual diesel which all container ships need to run on when they get close to port because you haven't been allowed to burn HFO or MFO anywhere near populated areas for a long time now.

And while it certainly used to be sludge that is left over, these days there are increasingly tighter restrictions on what MFO can contain, and it is very much starting to look more and more like diesel in composition (the last decade or so many refineries have focused on equipment upgrades precisely because they would no longer be able to sell their sludge to the shipping industry).

It's not incorrect to call these ships diesel powered. In fact for some of their journey the only difference between what they put in their engines and what you put in yours is the colour (colour denoting that the fuel was exempt from local taxes and may only be used for marine purposes)

Well I butchered that sentence.

Not just that the masts are fully hydraulically operated, the masts are tiltable to 70 degree angle so that the ship too so that the ship which normally stands 90m tall can get under bridges or other infrastructure with only 42m height.

When the masts are tilted it looks WEIRD. https://www.neoline.eu/en/why-...

You make it seem like we were able to do this easily before rather than acknowledging the engineering feat this is. Here's some comparison for you:

The Neoliner Origin is the longest cargo sail ship ever made, 20m longer than the France II, it has a taller main mast *which is retractable so it can maneuverer under bridges*, and has 25% more cargo capacity than the France II as well. There's a lot of engineering involved in getting something that big to move around flexibly, especially when it comes to compatibility with modern harbours.

That's where the good news ends. Despite everything this ship has a pittance of the capacity of modern cargo ships. It turns out that heavy things take a lot of energy to move through water which is fine when you have little more than 50 drunken scurvy infected sailors and some spices to haul, but not so much when you're shipping 9000 cars to another country.
