  • Another cue is that the numbers aren't gobbledigook

  • Yes, as with many aspects of the so-called MAGA agenda, he is merely intensifying decades-long trends, in this case Republican attempts to gag scientists and destroy the administrative state required to enforce environmental laws. DeSantis also was putting forward similar policy positions on climate stuff. But there's no doubt the Trump administration was the most anti-science in US history, making what we saw in the Bush years look like child's play. We still haven't recovered from what they did, and in some ways the environmental crimes of those years have only recently borne fruit, such as in the Supreme Court rulings against wetland protection, CO2 regulations, and the potential upcoming decision to require Congress to explicitly set all environmental criteria in the laws (an intentionally impossible task)

  • Canada is like Europe with a couple wildcard American features baked in

    FTFY

  • Edge is branding itself "The AI Browser". Chrome has plans to embed LLMs for text input. Opera, the browser which was commandeered from the original Vivaldi team and turned into a crypto/VPN gimmick browser, is of course among the hardest leaning into the LLM trend.

  • I was hoping it would help me save on international transfer fees when I was an overseas postdoc, but it would have actually cost more between the exchange fees and my time setting up all the exchanges in various countries, meanwhile also introducing risk in me being robbed of said money and screwing something up and introducing myself to some sort of tax liability. Needless to say, I continued to just pay for the bank transfers

  • They keep you regular. Specifically your fps

  • Seems quiet to me, in a metaphorical sense, if they delete something from PR page which they previously considered important enough to have as a campaign position, but without articulating a new position. They are obscuring their position.

  • That is interesting and seems much less wasteful! I have thought often of my time in the 2000s using my PS3 for Folding@Home. So many processor cycles being wasted on nonsense right now

  • Any proof of work coin is a no go for me

  • Using a tongue barrier, very responsible

  • I really enjoyed it, and will return to it. But I put it down because it felt like doing chores. I will try again and try to focus on the scenery and story, which I do like a lot

  • I had one that also had some sort of charging reliability issue, and I decided to return, so I agree it isn't a huge loss. Still, a lack of competition is usually bad in terms of prices for the rest of us. And WearOS getting even smaller means even narrower dev community. Easier to fully wall off the garden and close the OS when there are fewer and fewer people in it

  • They are committing code related to it. Whether it makes it into a final product is another matter entirely.

  • Why is it clickbait? I don't understand. The article explains the reasons. They don't fit in the headline.

  • The problem is that the US doesn't necessarily regulate anticompetitive behavior if the company has not achieved a monopoly. Microsoft pretty much had one at the time so they were exposed. Our regulatory regime is not designed to protect us from the tech oligopoly

  • Agreed, switchbot has been working for a while great in my hermit crab terrarium

  • Well, they mention that David is dead. But being dead doesn't get him off the hook, so glad they keep talking about them as a group
