This legal system is a shit joke.
It's designed to fail under the weight of its own bullshit.
Microsoft will never appreciate your mod abuse, clown
And for some reason, Discord went to Klipy...?
Surprise surprise.
The foolish attempt to save the children by taking away everyone's privacy and the children's freedom is thwarted by the children subverting their laws.
If you want to save the children, do not try to save them, instead protect us ALL by changing the algorithms to push people toward truth rather than the shocking.
"Mozilla shut down the well-loved read-it-later Pocket app last year,
Well-loved? How many people were using it? Follow the chain of links and you'll see they never actually say.
One of the hardest parts when switching to Linux was learning to use the command line and shellscripts instead of relying on "power tools" for everything.
I long ago lost track of the number of times I've needed to use the command line to fix something on Windows. You weren't doing anything very complicated if you never did.
This is not news. It is merely the continuation of a very long story.
I know of no battery chemistry that excels at 100% charge. If I were the battery makers, I would set it up as battery can be charged to 125% with that number being equal to what we call 100% now. The range is already much less important than the lifetime of the battery, especially considering that it takes far longer to get a battery that last 20% than it does to get the first 30%.
My understanding is that the best hybrid vehicles try to keep the battery charged at between 45% to 60%. That has enough power to give the ICE the extra boost necessary for higher speed maneuvers such as passing, and/or low speed travel when the ICE is turned off. But at normal speeds it lets the ICE work at it's high efficiency low rpm range without even bothering to charge the battery.
I'm not a doomsday prepper but, from what I hear, a lot of the ultra wealthy ARE prepping. It makes no sense not to do some prep when one has that much wealth. It's just another bet to hedge.
Most of those people can't do shit. They will need people around them. If society really collapses then they're just more mouths to feed and those other people will kick them out of the doors of their bunkers if they're lucky. Too bad most of those people aren't smart enough to figure this out.
If WWIII takes out much of the internet and data centers, it doesn't matter what the cost was to get this up there - whomever controls it would have a huge upper hand.
It might well wind up being nobody. There will be signal-hunting drones.
Most large American (and other countries with reasonable tax rates) corporations at least consider moving to Ireland or similar countries to lesson tax burden. This is hard to stop.
You could declaring that profit margins in the low tax nation is the same margin for all income earned in the US. That is if you declare a profit margin of 24% in Ireland than 24% of all money leaving the US is considered profit and taxable at American rates. This is something that would involve a lot of arguments and I could see accountants getting paid even more to negate this trick.
Another way to do it is to declare that any American owning such corporations must pay 2% (or a similar number) of the value they own as a yearly tax. Example: if Bill Gates owns 100 billion in Microsoft stock, then he must pay 2 billion in taxes yearly for owning it. This kind of thing is harder to argue with, particularly for public corporations as their value is determined by the market.
Frankly, the 2nd method is far superior in my mind. A lot of the abusive practices the wealthy use to evade taxes are caused by us taxing 'profits' rather than net worth. Profits are easy to hide, net worth less so.
Thanks for tracking that down. To me that's the real news here. Reactor vessels are not the only application for this technology.
In my exerience, the share of programmers that (a) understand that shell is a programming language and not some weird command prompt
It's a dessert topping and a floor wax. This was an unusual feature of UNIX, but since then it's become the norm, albeit with everyone else inheriting it from there. You can write MS-DOS scripts with complex independent logic, you just don't want to.
and (b) take the time and invest the effort required to learn it properly is surprisingly small.
I don't know that I've learned it "properly" to this day, but I can thank The UNIX Programming Environment for making me basically capable. (I believe that my paper copy is a later edition than this...)
Silicon Carbide is difficult to work with due to the high temperatures required, so if they have a 3d printing process that is effective at producing the kind of quality needed for a reactor vessel, that's what's really interesting here. Or... whose tech are they using?
May all your PUSHes be POPped.
