Hyperloop was a raging success - it stopped funding of railway. I believe he even admitted that this was behind it to begin with.

Why should the financial sector ever switch away from their amazing COBOL code base? Why should anyone switch away from VGA, works just fine? No need for USB, PS2 etc. work just fine.

Wow. But now I had to look it up, the German “ARD Mediathek” has over 200’000 files, a playtime of 100’000 hours.

How big is that library supposed to be that it is larger than all public ones? There are some with 10’000s of videos.

People were able to (and at some places did) cut down every tree WELL before they had power tools and even saws. Just with axes. The comparison is laughable.

No, massive air moving structures can not be cheap. Neither building nor operating them.

Nobody will remove water from ambient air in relevant amounts. Roughly 0.5 % of air is water vapor, a total of something like 10’000 km³ liquid water. This is replaced (residence time) about once every 10 days, so roughly 1’000 km³ daily.

Say we extract 10 km³ (10’000’000 m³) daily, enough for roughly 10 million people (including all industry, zero recycling of the water etc.). By that time you deal with 1 % of earths atmosphere every day. May I remind everyone how absurdly costly in any conceivable way that would be? You would rather lay a few pipes and purify sea water at a tiny(!) fraction of the cost.

The entropy of a little water mixed with air is higher. As with anything that mixes a little.

You multiply seconds with seconds per hour and somehow get “per hour” as the final result? But even ignoring that error, what is W/h supposed to be? Rate of change of power?

Also, it is a small k for kilo and you don’t write it as 4.310¹⁸[unit]. Just 4.310^18 [unit]. Or 4.3E18 [unit].

Depends on what I am doing. Walky Talky? Toaster? Dish washer? … Who needs a manual for that?

FID detector? I need to know several things before turning it on. New Mainboard? Why is the WoL setting behind wake on PCIe?

Are we missing some zeros here? So one to a few hours of testing, that is it? So I assume the sensors simply failed completely after that, why else would they not test it longer or withhold the results? Quote:

Researchers tested them at different bending speeds:

838.9 mV at 100 bends/hour 856.7 mV at 200 bends/hour 852.6 mV at 400 bends/hour

Even after hundreds of cycles, the signal stayed strong, proving these sensors can handle repetitive movement without breaking down.

This kind of reliability is huge for prosthetic limbs, fitness trackers, and robotic arms, where precision and durability are non-negotiable.

You can also buy a used PC or laptop or CPU/GPU/…, buying them new when you want good performance for value is nonsense.

If the previous owner specifically make sure they do not know about that because they made a quick cash grab, how exactly do you imagine they should know about this?

Hahahahaaha

What did XBox do/say?

Didn’t GIMP get a big update recently?

Really does not sound like children are the cause of the problems there.

I said it has a very different gravity depending on how old the person saying it is. Do you agree or not? Why?

Happy child free, may I ask how old you are roughly? Because to me it seems that this number and that happiness correlate strongly inversely. People are more and more lonely. Less family, fewer siblings, no children, …

There sure are people of any age that are happy without children (or generally with or without anything). But since you mention this and me seeing that correlation: I have to ask. If you are 30 that is essential meaningless, like saying you do not care about pensions. If you are 60 both statements carry a lot more weight.

But called out how? An asshole spread a private picture, next to nobody is going to know who this person was. Those who know him are less likely to act and might even believe a story he told.

Then others share it and the best you can do is say “fuck off” when someone sends a rather random picture to you.
