TP-Link: When you want your home internet to steal your identity and join botnets.

Can we please just admit that MacOS is a phone OS and not designed for games? Stop trying to claim Mac is a games platform, it wasn't in original, it wasn't on PPC, it wasn't even on Intel unless you Bootcamped.

So pretend it's a genuine question instead of trying to be clever?

If 90% of the span of a system's resting state is MUCH warmer, but it has been slowly cooling over time, how theoretically will a small increase in that system's warmth suddenly "set off uncontrollable warming"?

Let's walk through an example:
I have a beaker of water at 140F. T=seconds.
If I let it cool/warm as follows:
T= 0 140
T= 50 40
T= 100 120
T= 150 0
T= 200 -40
T= 250 110
T= 300 60
T= 350 50
T= 400 80
T= 450 140
T= 494 40
T= 499 -20
T= 500 0
I'd love to understand how when T=500.001 if it goes to +10 that will somehow set off uncontrollable cascade of warming?

Yes, this is essentially the path of earth's climate the last 500m years.

I would rather not run into the back wall of my garage.

1) I drive in
2) I MUST step on brake to stop driving forward.
3) engine stops
4) I put in park
5) car stops
6) I press the ignition button to kill the engine
7) engine stops

I invite you to explain how I can enter my garage and kill my engine without touching the brake.

The Economist's Babbage podcast has done several episodes on lab-grown meat. One of the ones that makes most sense to me is there was a company targeting fish, not beef or pork. Their reasoning was that fish is a more homogeneous meat than the other two, and also it would have a larger environmental impact since popular fish species can be heavily overfished and become endangered.

This always made complete sense to me, yet I've only ever seen plant-based steak and burger alternatives. Lab-grown fish meat seems absolutely perfect since it doesn't have to reproduce the marbled texture of land-based meat, something that the process struggles with today.

As an aside I'd love to switch to lab-grown if it were widely available and similarly priced. I'm never going to become a vegetarian, and if there's a way of supporting that without affecting actual animals...yep, sign me up please.

'Because a lot of companies just aren't hiring waiting to see if AI can replace those jobs.'

Lots of companies do lots of things. Lots of companies hire AI experts etc. to see if there is any there there.

Lots of companies aren't hiring at all.

Lots of companies are hiring for lots of reasons.

Lots of companies are not hiring because they decided they have too many employees already, or are doing things that do not need to be done, or not doing them well enough, or should be doping something else more important, valuable, or with more potential.

The 'a lot of companies' is vagueness bordering on vacuous. You can do better, I hope.

I didn't see anyone give the true reasons, talking about population this and that. I spoke with a pub owner - they said it literally cost more to keep the lights on than they were making in profit.

It's not demographics or 'young people drinking less' - I've heard that every generation. It's purely cost driven - high energy, high rates (property tax), increases in national insurance (employers tax) and wages, to a lesser extent increases in duty vs buying at a supermarket...all leads to high drink cost at a time of low disposable income. That's the driver.
br. Many of the pubs closing are rural pubs too. These had already declined due to drink driving laws and accessibility (and to be clear - I'm in favour of such laws). The attendance is the same as when they were profitable, it's the cost base that has increased not the customer interest dropping away.

Further resources here. The original argument suggests that British authors were paid but without copyright, This is mostly incorrect, as some authors with sufficient clout were paid a little but the vast majority got nothing.

That's absolutely incorrect, and US 'piracy' of publishing rights in the 19th century is well documented.

And there's the small issue of X v Wayland. Which desktop? LTS v today's hotness.

And systemd.

Linux is not the same as Windows, but it struggle with the same software complexities. Incompatible stuff, hardware support, UI complaints, really only viruses are much of a distinguishing trait, and well the recent Telnet debacle shows Linux is not immune to troubles.

Recommending Linux as a Windows alternative is disingenuous. Many valid reasons to not jump into the Linux world. Even Apple is an alternative.

I've put out a couple of albums and a few tracks in the past. They haven't shaken the earth and neither should they - they're ok, some tracks less ok and some tracks more.

Then suddenly one week I started getting played a lot. I had no idea why - hadn't released anything, I don't really promote...it's all just a hobby for fun. Turned out another track with the same name as mine had gone super-popular, and I was picking up the results of bad searches. (Annoyingly, it was also one of my tracks that..err...'could potential improve from a remaster'. ). Covers get you heard. Soundalikes get you on playlists. If you actually do want to promote yourself and you're an unknown bedroom writer, you need to do some covers and ideally create playlists of popular tracks that also have your own tracks intermingled. This is how you get started in a purely online world, leaving aside the obvious let's all pay for fake views and votes route.

... There are hundreds of Balkan clothing stores that need more stocks.

Air pollution control is incredibly expensive and I'm pretty sure nobody will pay for it given the cheapness of life in India.

This is a lie.
Covered in their FAQ (https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/consumer-reports-car-reliability-faq-a1099917197/)

"They use a weighted system that prioritizes issues based on severity, safety, and potential to cause a vehicle to be taken out of service."

I have a friend who is a big Rivian advocate and will talk your ear off about how awesome the brand is while admitting that his actual vehicle is an unreliable piece of shit.

I ... didn't know how important penile oxygenation was until you mentioned, and it appears to be so.

I will certainly be showing my wife this important research.
