They don't, they don't need to meet the quote for each country, just from enough countries. Now it's just every extra vote that ensures that the invalid votes don't ruin the initiative.

Indeed, i haven't dared to click an unsubscribe link in years unless i'm extremely sure it's from a reliable organization....

Isn't that always the strategy? Sue a weaker opponent first, and once you have got some precedent set in court, you can go after the bigger players that will now face a more uphill battle due to the precedent you set.

If all the big tech companies force it onto everyone.

Look at the office 365 bullshit where they stealth upgraded everyone to an AI tier subscription. And then they put AI behind buttons & screens that didn't used to have AI, and suddenly, all office 365 users use AI.

And all the other tech companies are going for the same strategy. So yeah, if you literally force it down everyones throat, i'm sure it's fastest adoption ever seen.

What that adoption actually means seeing the practices of the companies forcing it onto everyone... that's the big question....

Some of the issues with asking the same questions over and over are:
- More interesting topics getting drowned out by the same beginner questions repeating over and over
- The questions same questions not always getting the same answers. In the end the experts won't revisit the same question for the 50th time, and beginners will start answering beginners.
- No knowledge aggregation doesn't really happen. Rather than the topic of that question getting dug up from time to time when someone asks for more clarification, and thus a knowledge base building around that topic, you might have to wade through dozens of the same question to find the one with an answer that's applicable to your situation, rather than one question that explores it in depth and may help you further way better.

As a millenial that grew up with forums, the above things are also what bother me most seeing most support groups now being on reddit, facebook or discord. Everything is just the same shallow questions repeating, no real in depth discussions, and unless you're terminally online, distilling deeper knowledge is near impossible.
On a forum you might find a thread on a topic that interests you, and has hundreds of comments, and you can choose to do a deep dive into that topic if you have an hour to waste on reading it when it works for you. On discord/facebook/reddit, if you're not always following the flow, good luck finding back things that were posted a mere month ago on a topic that interests you.

I was already wondering the same.
That would be thousands of videos per person on earth, seems a bit high of an estimate.

Isn't the entire point of being able to drive upside down that some cars at high speed generate insane amounts of downforce?
Of course, an active downforce system like this is cool (and not new, in the 70's there were racecars that did this, but was quickly banned from racing for many reasons).
But that basically an electric helicopter can "fly" for a short while isn't particularly impressive, and completely missing the point of why F1 cars could drive upside down when driving at sufficient speed. And the main reason no one is building stuff like this is that it's been banned from racing since the 70's...
I'm hoping someone builds a hotwheels like track where racedrivers actually at high speed with enough downforce drive upside down for a bit (although, probably hard to make something like that safe enough...).

Care to explain? I live in such a city, and i'd call it anything but shitty with these changes happening. There are always some complainers, but i love these changes.

There is always a lot of push back when things are made more pedestrial/bicycle friendly, but it's really nice.In the end i just need my car for things that are not in the city, not for doing my groceries or visiting friends or .... And if it's *really* needed the car is still an option, just less convenient than it used to be, and that's ok :).

How hard would it be for Nvidia to release a 32 bit physix driver that just uses the 64bit physix under the hood to provide some backwards ompatibility?

Is stepping 24V down to the voltages required that much less efficient than stepping down 12V

I did a quick google search, and i don't immediately find much on the topic, but you seem to know more?

Give a bambu & a creality to your mother, and observe the difference.

Technically there is little difference, practically one is made to be usable by everyone, and the other is more for enthousiasts.

Bambulab is the first brand 3d printer enthousiast dare to recommend to people who want to just print stuff, and don't care how the machine works.

Your logic would mean no irrational numbers exist.

Let's say we have an oracle O that spits out digits of any irrational number of choice, so O(1) is the first digit, O(2) is the second, etc...
So we can then write the irrational number as
Number = O(1) + O(2)/10 + O(3)/100 + ....
(ok, depending on the irrational number, the denominators can start somewhere else, but that's irrelevant, this example is for irrational numbers between 1 and 10, but you can do the same logic for values between any 2 sequential powers of 10).
For any finite positive integer, the result of this partial sum is rational, since we have a finite number of decimals, and any number with a finite number of decimals is rational. So just like your sum that converges to pi, this approaches the irrational number we started to any accuracy you want. Yet when we actually take an infinite amount of terms, so an infinite amount of decimals, so in the limit to infinity of this sum, that's when it becomes irrational, just like the other series that coverge to pi.
But if your reasoning is correct that since any partial sum is rational, the infinite sum must also be rational, then no irrational numbers exist following the proof above.

Your reasoning is not much different from people not understanding that 0.9999.... is equal to 1. In the end that's also just 9/10 + 9/100 + .... And any finite number of terms of that arbitrarily close approaches 1, but isn't equal to 1. But when you actually have an infinite number of 9's, so an infinite amount of terms, it's actually equal to 1. This equality can also easily be proven by:
1/3 = 0.33333.....
0.999999..... = 0.333333.... * 3 = 1/3 * 3 = 1

What are you talking about?
The summary says he was walking on the pavement, which is the british word for the sidewalk. Do you walk on the sidewalk "facing away from traffic", and always looking for cars to make sure "you see it coming"? (if so... what the fuck. if i'm on the sidewalk i assume i'm safe, that's the entire point of the sidewalk).

Sounds like a bus that was turning into a busstop a bit vigorously hit a pedestrian. If that sounds normal for you... or the pedestrians fault... It's honestly the first time i've heard about something like that happening. If that's common occurence in London, someone needs to have a look at what the heck is happening there.

But the airplane will be like a 2 hour flight instead of the 13 hours of train.
So yeah, even if the airplane is more noisy & smelly, who cares? you don't have to sleep there and it'll be over way quicker.

Humanity sure did, our society however didn't. And it probably won't.

So yeah, if you're happy some humans will survive, i admit, that's something, but we could do better?
