What if MicroSoft would this week decide: "ok. As per your request: Throttle it is, no more windows OS for Russa based IPs!" ?

So of 11600 MW of newly installed renewables, 10000 or 86% is in those batteries. That's absurd.

Why the F*** when a scientist says he's found a nearly complete bellusaurus skeleton, the reporter says: "A what-o-saurus??, let me get my pencil and write this down". But when it is about batteries and energy, they simply get it wrong. There is probably about 2000 MW, 10000 MWh of battery capacity installed.

No that's exactly it when we're talking about a devise by which we can test theories and rule out hypothesis of how the universe works, a supercollider is the only way we're going to get info on things we don't know about physics. We're using it to rule out theories and hypothesis, you can't do that without one. Not to mention the huge tech and engineering culture built up around it that took years to develop.

So yes when 21 billion is less than 1% of gdp that's peanuts buddy, her argument is that "it's too expensive" compared the wars of iraq 21 billion is peanuts.

"The most recent major report on these costs come from Brown University in the form of the Costs of War, which totaled just over $1.1 trillion."

So don't give me this shit you defending sabines bad arguments, when you consider the total cost of shit that adds no value to this planet politically or economically like the war in iraq.

So no you're still wrong, we're talking about vs all the other stuff states spend money on (like war) that are total net negatives for humanity.

Sigh you missed the point, 21 billion dollars is less than 2% of america's gdp, aka 1% of 25 trillion dollar economy is 250 billion dollars.

AKA 21 billion dollars is peanuts for a super collider. It doesn't even scratch 1% of gdp. So no sabines argument is nonsense squared.

Sorry the cut and paste pasted some other link.

Because the only way you can advance or rule out theories of how reality works is by experiment, I hated how Sabine suggested that we shouldn't spend money on a super collider because it won't produce any near term economic benefit, not realizing the only way to test how the universe works is to have probes that can proble the fine structure of the universe to help eliminate theories and hypothesis.

She's not getting that there is a culture of engineering that took decades to build that goes away if you shut off the money. So no not quite turtles, super colliders are the only tool we have to refine and test and gather data about how nature works at the very small.

Enjoy the future where valve owns everything and you own nothing because your too stupid and irrational to understand silicon valley tech company history. Why would I listen to someone who enjoys paying money for broken software? AKA steam is malware, mmos were just pc games with the networking multiplayer ripped out and coded fraudulently.

... The public ate all the drm tech over the last 26 years since since the rise of the internet in the mid 90's, first with mmos then with steam. The entire industry can use telecom to steal software on an industrial scale from the computer illiterate masses, that means no privacy for you. If you bought windows 10 or have ever purchased anything requiring user names or login accounts your too stupid to be using computers. Everyone knew in 1997 when ultima online was released the average gamer and PC user was chimp factor five levels of stupid about basic computer technology. The last 20 years has been every software and hardware company on the planet locking everything down and using world telecom to turn our PC's into dumb clients because the average member of the public is stupid.

So if you ever bought an mmo, or steam, or windows 8/10/11, and Xbox post xbox 360, you are part of the problem.

Assholes like this are behind encrypted computing they are hacking chips and working with hardware manufacturers to turn files into property. It's been a big conspiracy over the last 20 years to kill off device ownership and hand it over to the copyright crime syndicate because the masses are stupid.

See mr chen hacking the xbox here to kill ownership of your device.

There are two supermarkets on my commute to work. Both of them started with a few self checkout booths.

Then one did a big "redesign of the layout", now there are 8 or 10 self checkout points and one or two old-fashioned cashiers. The other one went back to all cashiers at about the same time. I guess they had different experiences.

In the one where the manager found it successful, they have one "self checkout" employee and one cashier most of the time. While before there would be 3 or 4 sometimes 5 working the registers. And for me: The last year or so, there have been two instances when there was a queue of 1 or 2 people for self-checkout (for 8 stations = quick!). To me it is a success and for the shop, as they expanded the self-checkout too I guess.

Apparently experiences differ. Apparently quonset has had a different experience. Or agenda.

So if you run this plant for 2.5 years, you can fly a 747 across the ocean!

Why did the masks work in Kansas? It could be that the masks prevented people from getting infected as you would think.

But maybe there is another mechanism. Maybe the awareness of "an issue with a contagious disease" makes people more careful, and the continuous reminders by seeing people with masks and having one on yourself creates that awareness.... That's what the non RCT studies cannot tell you.

My doctor prescribes me something for "high blood pressure". I call it the "zero F***s were given" medicine. It is possible that the effect is completely psychological. Work not done? No stress, go home. Doctors require RCT tests to prove effectiveness before they will prescribe a medicine. This could pass the tests that way....

The definition of temperature makes for some "weird" corner cases. Apparently the environment in LEO has a very high temperature: The few molecules that there are are moving a blistering speeds.

If they claim that 30k temperature, I'm guessing they do some form of vacuum deposition where due to an oddity in the definition of temperature you can state that the temperature is indeed 30k.

Apparently the American plan is: Sue first, educate yourself later.

When you're a full-time sysadmin, maintaining a "high volume" site, then it is reasonable to replace the hardware and upgrade the OS every one or two years. But if you're "johnson & johnson hardware" who paid a nephew $1000 for a webserver and website a while back, then upgrading every 6 years is not even obvious.

Ehh.... I hava 2.4.32 system still "in production". (Yes, its on the internet, No it doesn't have any ports exposed to the internet, no it doesn't have user accounts).

I'm working to replace it the coming weeks.

It means that you try to control a process without looking at the results. Apply this to bosses having an annual chat with their employees, I don't think that's a good idea.

- I think you're underperforming, I think you should do better.
- But my numbers are the best of the whole team!
- No I can't use that in my Feedforward, you need to do better and you're not getting your pay raise this year!
