I see what you did there! Aside, I had QC-35 v1 for more than two years now and I use it daily for work. I only needed to change the cushions once.

Don't put the idea into their heads!!! Kidding aside, I think customers can argue that such ads can be distracting to the driver.

It affects how much salary we get paid, what language we speak, what we eat ...etc. Why is that any different?

That assumption is definitely wrong! Not everyone in HN is making around $200k per year. The average in the US is about $110k. And still not everyone in HN is in the US or being payed US rates. Of course if you value your time more than wha

I can relate to each one of those points. It's awful to feel treated unequally even though you're doing the same work. Before this trend of remote work, usually the solution was to just migrate to a developed country.

In my case as well this is true. ISPs ( especially when they have monopolies) don't care about this. I live in a town with 8K people and the whole town is sharing an uplink of 300Mbit/s. And we complained a lot but due to how only

I gets very confused by marketing terms. But doesn't giving you only 1MBit/s during the whole day counts in "up to 100Mbit/s"? I'm trying to understand the legal merits in a case like this.

The reminds me of how powerful the expressiveness of Datalog is. You can even syntactically check whether the program can run in p-time or not. Once you introduce negation in the recursion it starts to be a little bit complicated, though. A

I can confirm this. I'm running a 3700x with the stock cooler and It's idling at 50-60 degree at 3.6 Ghz. If I enable Game boost mode in the motherboard (it basically push the frequency to 4.2 and turn up all fans) it increase the

Yes, please. I don't mind even if you set it it by location, but at least provide me a way to change it manually. I live in a north African country, but I get the currency set to south Africa (looking at you origin) without the ability

The fact that people were forced to stay at home may influence their view. If people willingly choose to try working from home, I would guess that the result would be much different. Not only that but the fact the you are stuck at home all

Yeah, this is quite interesting indeed. However, currently I require a powerful machine in my day to day work. I considered renting a Hetzner machine as they are reasonably priced specs compared to AWS.

0.021 usd per kwh. Farmer are sparsely located, so linking them to the main grid is costly as they need to pay for it by themselves.

They're not a good investment due to high cost of the panels compared to the price of electricity. Which to be fair is heavily subsided be the state. I'm looking forward to install ones myself, but I'm in the 90th percentile

Well, we have only one company installing solar panels in a ~25 km radius. And they're installing around 3 installation per month, each have 8 large panels.I don't have the exact number of how many watt they generate. But they are

A lot of solar panels were insalled where I live compared to none five years ago. However their only use case here is to pump water out of the ground. The prices of the panel don't make them good investment for home usage. And even the
