I work in this industry, and a big issue is that a major customer of the cheapest, shadiest telcos is the US federal government. Because they're "being responsible with your tax money." So cracking down on them will affect go

Yes, they're called "high-rail" or "road-rail" vehicles. They have rail wheels that can be lowered down to drive on tracks or raised up for road use.

The main benefit for me is that digital watermarking becomes completely inaudible with high-res audio, but I can sometimes clearly hear it in standard resolution.

It takes too much energy and produces water too slowly to scale. In general any area with sufficient moisture in the air to explore this also has easier access to rain and ground water.

This is honestly what I'm thinking. Carbohydrates and hydrocarbons will oxidize to CO2 and water in our atmosphere, and especially quickly at warm temperatures, in the presence of energy sources like sunlight, or in the presence of ozo

I can't think of any other remaining large solid rocket manufacturer in the USA, NG bought them all.

From what I understand, the main goal is to fix the problem that non-native (1:1 pixel mapping) resolutions and scaling look worse than native. This is a problem when you ship high-dpi displays that need UI scaling in order for things to be

It's just like how we learned survival and life skills by playing Oregon Trail back in the day!

GPS is based on a small number of satellites in high orbit, so it's not practical to disable it for a particular region like it is for Starlink and other LEO satellites.

For a high up-front price, nuclear plants give us an extremely large amount of consistent, emissions-free power that can also provide frequency stability to the grid. It's also very energy-dense in terms of Gigawatts per acre. Spent fu

Yes, it's a balance between flavor and storage time. If you plan to use it immediately, unwashed butter is best.

It usually contains significant amounts of milk protein, which contribute to flavor but spoil about as quickly as milk does. Washing the butter thoroughly until well after the water is clear will improve storage time, as will salting the bu

The point of a 90% marginal rate isn't to increase tax revenue, it's to discourage high incomes that are economically and socially harmful. If you don't believe that's a problem then policies to address it won't see

This is just an Amazon site issue, lots of things are broken right now. This problem specifically appears to be caused by the site not being able to determine your location to ship to.

Sounds more like Paypal doesn't care to work around the fact that Gmail doesn't understand how e-mail addresses work.

How do we build a society that continues to function while people like this blog writer exist? The reality is that some people will always be 10/10 upset about something, no matter how unreasonable it is. We have a society that's

No one sane is afraid of living the ideal retired life. They are afraid of not being able to afford to live. If we were actually talking about replacing the current system of "work if you want to live" with AI-funded universal bas

I believe that LLMs provide an excuse for businesses to shed the excess hiring they did during the zero interest rate era. Ultimately, this question comes down to how healthy you think the economy will be in five years, rather than being re

The point is to have a useful way of getting rid of all the plastic waste we already have and will continue to generate. Plastic isn't going anywhere in the near future because it's a byproduct of natural gas production, which is

This is discussed in the article, the plastic is bound up in the bitumen so it doesn't release microplastic particles during use.

The YouTube Premium model seems to be the way forward here. In short, pay $5 per month and every video you watch gets paid slightly more per view than they would if you watched ads. Expanding this to a larger ecosystem may require a larger

I feel the same way, even though I have very different needs. I have an Asus ROG Phone 6 and was looking forward to upgrading to a ROG Phone 10 with a new SoC this year. Now Asus has completely discontinued smartphones and the only halfway

About 15 years ago I made extensive use of an earlier version of this on an Android smartphone with 512MB of RAM, it was the difference between barely usable and very usable. It's sad that we might need this again.

Those would be more similar to hot steam humidifiers, which tend to leave any minerals or impurities behind as deposits inside the machine. That said, I'm not buying the original premise here that water-soluble minerals are in inhalati

I think if you pitched this as "binaural beats that always work regarding of network conditions" that would be better-received. I don't think there's much of a scenario where streaming services aren't able to consis

Based on my experience and some brief research I don't think this is generally accurate. While I'm sure some combinations of encoder and bitrate might be an issue, YouTube is actually delivering rather high quality audio on HD vid

Good. The investigation is politically motivated and intended to suppress protected speech that the administration disagrees with.

This was a disappointing article, primarily because it felt like the author used this as an excuse to break into Bohemian Grove and talk to rich people, rather than the stated purpose of investigating their forestry practices. It seems like

I'm interested in either human composting for end of life, but it tends to cost significantly more than cremation, but not as much as burial. For a cost effective alternative I've researched "water cremation", which inst

"It either is AI-generated slop or it looks like AI-generated slop for no artistic or thematic reason whatsoever." The artistic and thematic reason is obvious. It's a commentary on the show and AI art in general. To ignore th
