Indeed. Worth taking a look at our top exports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exports_of_Australia I wonder why the leaders of our country that profits primarily from large-scale export of coal, natural gas, pe

is it really so hard to imagine that perhaps the climate issues that have been "constantly talked about for 20+ years" have been heavily moderated/filtered/co-opted by financial/political interests? The current part

This take made me cringe. The only one putting emphasis on the fact that this scientist who has visited Antarctica 20 times in their life happens to be female, is you.

I'm happy to stick with "challenge". It means I can lament how "morally challenged" Apple is :)

Meh I dunno, there's that website that reports how many hiroshimas of energy we're releasing into our planet per second , the skeptics/denialists don't seem to care much for that metric, either. I don't think the p

Okay so we've established that neither my imagination, nor the labors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are any good for determining how likely we are on course for nuclear war. You know that humans do have nukes, righ

Agreed, humanity is unlikely to survive an asteroid of the likes that wiped out the dinosaurs, considering it increased global atmospheric temperatures to several hundred degrees celsius for a few minutes (or several thousand for a few seco

Aren't you sick of this tired old argument? Humans have not existed on this planet for the 4 billion years. More like 4 million. Sure, an accurately recorded history of 174 is still a pretty small fraction of 4 million. So if you'

Well, it is Carmack we're talking about here. He's well known as a prolific programmer prodigy ;) But also, some other things to note: * A lot of "agile" development in corporate environments is anything but agile beca

Interesting, thanks. Didn't realise there was ways to embed WebKit views that also got JIT (escaped the walled garden a while ago!) Still, my original point still stands. As you note, you can't have Spidermonkey running on iOS doi

Rather than just downvote you for stating incorrect things with such conviction, I'll refer you to Apple's own website :) https://support.apple.com/en-eg/guide/security/sec15bfe098e/... > Me

Some cursory web searches reinforce an assumption I had: Amazon absolutely dominate the eBook sales market, with figures from 65-80% of all sales being indicated. So how can you make the case that Amazon doesn't have "leverage

I wasn't making any kind of comparison to petrol cars! I guess it seemed like I was and that explains the downvotes, perhaps? All I was trying to do is add some support to the claim that battery density does matter in cars (contrary

As I understand it, electric cars are actually surprisingly polluting, which is a consequence of their battery weight and particulates from tires: https://dynomight.net/tires/

Yeah, I've wondered that too. I'm a fan of not yucking other people's yum, especially in the privacy of their own homes and not infringing on the liberty, safety or wellbeing of others. That said, if we've got folks who

Child pornography is one of the worst forms of human depravity, because in order to satisfy one person's messed up desires, a child is subjected to unspeakable sexual violence. We're conditioned to protect our young for lots of ob

If Apple gets away with this awful practice for long enough, I'm sure the other manufacturers will follow suit if they haven't already. Remind me who it was to remove the headphone jack first, again? ;)

99$ isn't really a "bargain" in the absolute sense. I encourage you to look at eBay buy it now listings for used/refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre NUCs, for example. You can get an entire computer with 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD an

I agree, it's a feature that I find sorely lacking in my tailnet. These are the relevant Github issues to follow, hopefully they address these someday: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/465
