I primarily pay for youtube for the music. The fact that it's ad-free on my TV is just a bonus. No cat and mouse game constantly trying to stay ahead of Google. I'm 36 with two kids, I don't have time to mess with it. Also, the content on Youtube is quite good. Seriously 90% of my TV watching is long form Youtube videos. You might just be on the wrong side of Youtube if you think 99.9999% of the content is crap. I'm subbed to enough content creators that produce extremely high quality, interesting videos to provide me with a couple of hours a day of entertainment specifically catered to my interests. That being said the stuff my 5 year old watches is just awful, and nothing will make me skip a video faster than poor audio.

US Slows Plans To Retire Coal-Fired Plants as Power Demand From AI Surges

Starving an AI from power? Is that a good idea? Did we learn nothing from The Matrix?

When I go camping, I leave my cell phone in the car, powered off. There's no point in carrying it as there won't be any signal in the back-country.

You probably need something like a phased array to give some directionality sensing to the receiving antenna?

No need for that. All you have to do is fly in a pattern once you find a signal, keeping an eye on the signal strength. For example, if you get a hit while flying north, you turn around and fly south half a km to the west. Your signal is going to be weaker or stringer. If it's weaker, the transmitter is further east, and if it's stronger then the transmitter is further west. It's basically the children's game Hot and Cold, but with cellular technology. Granted, a directional antenna will make searching a lot simpler, but a simple yagi or loop antenna would suffice for that. No need to go to all the trouble and expense of a phased array.

I miss Star Raiders and Ball Blaster.

Does that include heat bulbs? Lots of small animals are kept warm through incandescent heat bulbs. When my dad was alive, we used them all the time on the farm.

> If they said "I successfully pirated all the movies that Universal Pictures released in 2018," for example, it might be different from saying "I think pirates are cool." Flag as Inappropriate Saying you did something on Slashdot is not proof that you actually did that thing. You are not under oath or compelled to speak the truth here. I am a lawyer in real life (and in the odd commercial), so I know what I'm talking about.

BTW, I am not a lawyer, and the only commercial I made was a promo for a play, and if you want some beachfront property in the Florida Everglades, I'm open to getting sent some gift cards for it.

I'm not sure if you are talking about crypto or the USD?

Of course we know who he is. He's the vacuum cleaner guy, right?

... which results in a higher exhaust velocity for a given mass of propellant.

By all means, do. (Nice sig, by the way.)

That license to license, presumably, was meant to be exclusive. Novell could have been in violation even though they owned the code.

All the foam in the world won't really solve your problem. The low frequency you are hearing is vibrations coming out of the structure of your house. Short of decoupling the entire house from the earth around it, or at least your bedroom from the rest of the house, that rumbling will be there. This is actually something that's been studied a bit as studios have issues with this. I remember hearing a story about a recording studio that had a constant rumble in the background and it turned out to be industrial mixers about a mile away.

And both of you missed that the asterisk was for Casey Neistat and not Randall Monroe.

It literally isn't It's literally methylenedioxymethamphetamine. There's a difference.

Wait... how do they know we "went to [our] My Account settings" unless Google is spying on all their users? This attempt at self-exoneration sounds more like an admission of guilt to me.
