By the time we have the tech to do proper depth of field properly, eye tracking will probably be cheap, and you can do it with a gaze-and-squint interface.

Can't be sure if I'm serious, or only squinting to select

Same as it ever was (x8)

Anyone buying it is a moron - 15% savings for 20% less mileage AND increased gasket damage.

Plus, as I understand since it's not for human consumption, many of the limits on weedkiller etc are suspended or drastically reduced leading to increased contamination of drainage basins and rivers.

Ethanol was a stupid idea on every level.

Yes I'm sure that has nothing to do with leftist lawmakers & judges whose "catch and release" policies that result in the criminal being instantly released without bail. Hell, they do that today with actual murderers.
    Why the hell should police waste their time?

The bulk of uranium reserves are Australia, fwiw.

They clearly did, if this is that much faster than dmg then they fucked up with dmg.

Nothing I wrote makes it even seem like I'm confused about that, except to people who are confused by mice with more than one button.

Yes, I read the fine summary. Some of us do that.

What was it about the implementation of dmg that made it so much slower, and why did apple think it was okay?

There are really two parts of a vaguely modern vehicle that are attacked by the results of using ethanol fuel, fuel pumps and the injection equipment whether that's a carburetor or a fuel injector. Those parts have steel bits, including jets or nozzles, and the ethanol draws water in from the atmosphere and then it evaporates. That leads to corrosion of these parts.

Ethanol is a potential problem for hoses and seals, but this is only usually an issue for much older vehicles and the fix is pretty easy, except where carburetors are involved. Then they need to be re-sealed, and if there's not a kit available, that requires making new seals on a laser cutter. And those are still moderately expensive.

The fuel isn't the problem. Basing ethanol production on topsoil is the problem.

Sandia NREL proved in the 1980s you can grow algae economically in open raceway ponds, and you don't even need to add algae. The air will do it for you, and the most efficient algae to produce at your latitude and in your local conditions will outcompete other strains so you will automatically get the most beneficial species for production in your location.

The focus at the time was for lipids for biodiesel production. But you could as easily produce ethanol. Or more intelligently, you would make butanol using the ABE process, which also produces some acetone and some ethanol. Octane can be adjusted by mixing the butanol and the acetone. The ethanol can be used as an industrial solvent, far away from fuel systems, where it draws in water.

This is closely related to what I said when we discussed this last time: When I went to college, I was required to apply for financial aid, which means doing the FAFSA. This pushes ID verification off onto the federal government.

They're just getting ready for the war between the USA'n'SRs vs Europe.

Some of us have always wanted smart glasses. But we also want them to not be crap. I have pretty limited requirements for the graphics capabilities, but it does include overlay. But they also need to be in basically the same form factor as ordinary glasses, and they have to not be under the control of someone who's going to piss me off all the time showing me a lot of sponsored fuckery, and any processing has to be done on a device on my person and not someone else's computer. And I really don't want to be around other people who are streaming video to teh cloud 24/7, either.

What we're going to get will be very different from that description for the foreseeable future.

It doesn't matter where the cluster is located, if you don't own it then you have the same issues with your data on someone else's systems. If you're going to load it into someone else's rolling DC, you might as well load it into someone's remote DC. Then nobody has to drive the DC around.

"Don't put China and North Korea into the same basket. Both claim to be communist, neither one is."

Don't say they are the same, that's my job!

Debian offers both things, but I am using nvidia so Wayland won't work even as well as it can work, which is not as well as X11.

I expect to get an error explaining something about why a program failed, even if it's not very informative. Any program which cannot manage that is crap, and I should not have to go out of my way to get some kind of error either.

I will just keep using zoom in the browser when I have to use it, which is thankfully infrequent.

That's literally the whole idea behind all of this software, though. They just forgot somehow.
