> The _current_ regulations favor the established. Which is why de-regulation is the answer in this case. If a regulation is bad, roll it back, don't put another layer of complexity on top. Complexity, again, favors the incumbents.

No. The regulations aren't in place to protect consumers, they're in place to make it prohibitively expensive for anyone to compete. They're lobbied into existence by the market incumbents to stifle competition. Regulations f

Really wish this wasn't so... nsfw. My kid would love it, but there's no way in the world I'm sending him this link.

If you go listen to their CEO's testimony, he clearly states that the one single original patent behind the idea is now open but was expiring anyway. He brags about them spending a lot of money on R&D and needing to recoup that, re

You're probably confusing Fluoride which is actually quite difficult to remove, often needing expensive and complicated filtration such as Reverse Osmosis, with Chlorine which is trivial to remove with charcoal filtration.

I've had mostly a positive experience with Jellyfin on AppleTV. Have you tried it? Curious what's considered a dealbreaker for you.

The alternative to reclaiming would be to leave it in place and pave over the top (asphalt overlay). That has limits, though, so reclamation will be a requirement over time. The claim and wording is valid and correct, though. You cannot rec

Semver has been 2.0.0 for 10 years, look at the date of the assets. Multiple releases created today where none existed before. Not sure why someone is creating releases now, perhaps just some housekeeping/cleanup. https://gi

> Mozilla spending too much time/money and other crap over the years It seems like a pretty bit conflict of interest when the #1 money source for Firefox comes from Firefox's only real competitor.

Would invites be a solution? Anyone can sign up if they provide a number, otherwise you need an invite from someone with a number linked. It would clump the identity/legitimacy for all invitees into origin number, but still allow dispa

Bitwarden is underrated. Passwords run everything in our digital life. I will gladly take a UI compromise here and there for more trustworthiness.

They were one step further than just reflecting heat, they were tuning emissivity to actually give off heat and cool the surface underneath. Extremely impressive from a heat transfer perspective to cool a surface passively! The idea is basi

I might do this, but the servo still works. So long as I can still drive the servo, I think I'm good. It's open loop, so I'll need to watch something to determine when the door is fully shut.

As for neighbors, just don't get a rooster. Hens do make some noise but they're not bad at all. As for foxes, you can use a mobile coop+run. Move it once per day to provide fresh grass and distribute the fertilizer byproduct.

I have a door from Run-Chicken, mechanically it's still good but the electronics went out in it. I'd love to have something like this running it, going to give it a shot.

Not only that, but people driving faster because they feel confident in their seat belts hurt other people to a greater degree since they're increasing their own kinetic energy. I think this is commonly called risk compensation, but I

Looks like the site and store are getting the hug of death. People really want this! Is your manufacturing going to be able to keep up with demand?

Won't this just encourage maintainers to sit on issues... just waiting for the bounty to increase? They might even purposefully introduce painful but simple bugs just to push consumers to pay to have them fixed.

It is possible to care about multiple issues simultaneously. Saying it's demented to care about one person being wronged because other, totally different people are wronged is a bit selfish. It's okay to have a purpose that you be
