The interpretation of the policy reads like "It's not greenwashing, I promise." It comes across as more delay to assist profiteering on dirty, extractive FFs and distract from the climate change emergency by not addressing ne

Then you're making a strawman just to be disagreeable without adding anything constructive: 1. I never recommended driving. It's awful for the environment and extremely unsafe. 2. Transoceanic train lines. Hyperloop or similar. Do

Fallout is evident in nearly everything made with atmospheric air. It's possible to tell the difference between steel made before 1945 (low-background) and after due to radionuclide contamination. Items made prior to the end of WWII ar

My laptop (i7-8650U) has slightly faster single-core performance than my 96-thread dual 7402 EPYC Milan home server. I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with undue inefficiencies, i.e., excessive cache misses, branch mis-predictions,

Sorry and RIP, but what contribution did she make that would be interesting to hackers or founders? HN isn't supposed to be a celebrity news site.

Things were worse before. Real-mode DOS programs relied on the honor system of software developers. Windows 3.x leaked resources if software developers didn't explicitly release them. Any program could read and write memory and storage

Oxo, like any large company, has hit-or-miss designs. Their lettuce spinner is adequate. I wish they made their storage containers in glass. Low quality products are infiltrating markets, including Amazon, at an alarming rate. Take a small

I interviewed at a BCI startup that wants to implant on the order of 10k light sensors around the brain in order to directly gather data. "Reading" thoughts is just their first goal, eventually they want to communicate bidirection

Burrowing into minutia: "The Rabbit"-type cork pullers are far easier and faster. These are gear-assisted, spiral pullers obviating the need for elbow grease. Stubborn corks still need the two prongs-type to coax them out (or in).

Carbon austerity is a political and human-nature non-starter. Kelp forests and phytoplankton blooms across expanses of the ocean are the only viable alternative to capture and sequester (by sinking) enormous quantities of carbon to get us t

If personal austerity were to catch-on, Brawndo would automatically fire everyone. Consumption drives food on the table. It's the nuances of consumption, not ignorant, self-righteous virtue-signaling: "starvation, not bathing, not
