Hey guys. In high school I graduated with fantastic grades in physics. I have a BSc in Chemical Engineering. Can somebody explain supercritical fluids to me please

the last thing Mitch McConnell sees before his ping hits 8000

Yeah good point, not a trivial undertaking. I'm not an expert in that area but maybe elasticsearch or similar technology is able to find matches. Although I have no idea how that works under the hood

The genomes have likely been indexed to make finding results faster. Google doesn't search the entire internet when you make a query :P

I think you're right

how did I miss that. I need to work on my vegetable fixation

That is a huge spring onion. I think you're thinking of a leek. (Sorry to be pedantic but I don't joke around with alliums)

Help mom set the table. There's other times to rebel

If somebody corrects you about gender, just say woops, correct yourself, and move on. It's an honest mistake, a simple fix, and nobody should be offended. Especially online. If they are still offended, it's because they want to be.

Can somebody explain the fruit thing? I've seen fruit flies demolish fresh fruit. The amount of yeast biomass on them must be negligible at that point. Do the eggs/larvae spread the yeast before they start eating?

gulag for everybody who thinks this is news. The guy is literally a fascist and we are supposed to be angry about how his humanoid robots look kinda human? who tf cares

Good for Nix! Horrible article though lmao

Wow I grew up eating this stuff and only today do I learn it's spelled Plootz. Always thought it was Bloz

The ad revenue part is true but what do you mean by not harvesting data? Mastodon definitely stores your boosts and likes, it just doesn't use that data to recommend more content. And the big difference is of course that it is stored on your instance's server, not a centralized location.

That's fair! Although I fear big money will always come up with some way to make a "better" UX, either simply because they can afford more/better devs, and often by compromising privacy, accessibility, etc.

embrace extend extinguish has worked in the past and it can work again

So it should be Plato not Socrates in the meme?

It's centralized. They allow federation using their own protocol.

But all you need to know is that it's a capitalist, for-profit undertaking.

it's quite different in the sense that you don't see any recommended content, just your follows and their boosts.

That mindset is the problem. A slightly better UX at the cost of freedom is a bad deal.
