I am of course just speculating (and I had a lot of waiting time to think about this), but there are a lot of people with a lot of luggage constantly going in and out. It makes the elevators be full faster (perhaps there is a weight based s

I am currently staying in an AirBnB of a 60 floor tower, and the three elevator shafts definitely cannot handle this (I don't think the building was designed with renting to tourists in mind). The elevators are frequently completely sa

Fair enough, I did not know that. Maybe add to your list of reasons that attention is divided over so many conflicts nowadays. Probably there have been conflicts all the time, but with Ukraine, Greenland, Minnesota, Gaza and Venezuela getti

The biggest difference is "our" role in it. For western countries, the economic and diplomatic relations with e.g. Israel is a lot stronger than with Iran. It makes much more sense to speak up if you feel your country or one of th

The original tweet only speculated that it might work, but the article mentions and links to another about actual succesful attempts: "Tech News reported that the fake passport generated using ChatGPT-4o successfully bypassed basic KYC

What brand were you able to find with knobs? I went with induction as well in a recent kitchen renovation, but I was not able to find any with knobs, except for some professional restaurant grade stoves. It's my biggest beef with induc

Weather is local. This article is talking about the global average surface temperature.

I've been in a hotel where the rooms had pin pads as locks that required you to press two random numbers every time you want to enter. The pad was a bit sensitive to fingerprints, but due to this mechanism there would be fingerprints a

Yes, this! The non-alcoholic beers have gotten so much better over the last couple of years. I remember that they smelled quite pungent, but this is no longer the case. I mostly enjoy IPA non-alcoholics, or a Weizen. But for regular NA pils

I hear people bring up this argument in the Netherlands as well, when talking about the safety of nuclear energy. It does not put me entirely at ease though; the Netherlands is a very tiny and pretty crowded place, you are never far away fr

True, that is good advice. I have been surprised by terrible rainshowers and fog before while already driving though.

I've had good results with offloading work to a cloud based server where I ran my docker containers during development. Just CLI though, I left the graphical part on the client side. As mentioned by others, VSCode with remote SSH was a

The decision about what sensor to use is more easily made when one of the sensors provides no data, or clearly disturbed data. Like in case of fog, mud on a camera, pouring rain, etc. My phone often signals me that I have to clean the lense

I doubt Bitcoin mining is really suitable to use energy in realtime either. I don't think it makes financial sense to only run your expensive mining equipment during flares. In result the mining will run continuously, and just compete

Isn't every energy consumer incentivized to use the cheapest available energy source? In case of a landfill, there probably is a city nearby which would benefit from cheap electricity. Perhaps miners have an advantage over a city in th

How does Bitcoin have literal incentives to build out renewable energy? I've heard the claim before, but I'm not following. Doesn't Bitcoin mining just incentivize generating energy in general - green or otherwise? As a cou

I've used a cheap hygrometer last winter, during which the air inside my home was always way too dry. I had to place humidifiers (with some success). The difference in humidity for inside and outside temperatures is huge. You can calcu

I was pleased to see recently that a couple of different brands at my local DIY store had interoperable batteries. I bought a small lawnmower which now uses the same battery as a cordless drill from another brand. The brands that joined are

The article you mention targets prolonged caching, which it defines as more than 30 minutes. Disabling might not have been necessary?

Interesting. I tried both Firefox and Chrome on Android, neither worked without the desktop mode enabled. In that case my guess is that the screen size or the resolution of our mobile devices plays a role. I did notice more Google widgets n

While I very much doubt if the entire process is going to be carbon negative, "straight up lie" is very strongly worded. In essence, by building wooden structures you can store CO2 in urban environments that are currently dominate

The Netherlands is working on making doxxing illegal[0]. And rightly so, imho. Isn't the goal of doxxing harassing someone? How would that translate to citizen journalism? It is more akin to threatening someone than adding to a debate.

That makes sense. The definition might get a bit fuzzy when you have to account for the energy use of producing imported products, but I probably am getting a bit pedantic at this point. The overall point The article tries to make - poorer

> At its core, however, the math here is very simple. In the US, the average person uses 77,000 kWh per year. The average Finn uses only about 58,000 kWh. The Brits, good global citizens, use only about 30,000 kWh on average. Does anyone

Where I work we used to do stuff during breaks, like play football in the park next to the office. Or fly around with tiny toy drones, or do other silly stuff. On Friday we used to have drinks, which more often then not resulted in a subset

If it would be relevant for the models (e.g. to prepare for prolonged cloudy periods where the net has to step in more), I suppose you could account for rooftop generation in your models by comparing energy consumption from the net on both

Fond memories. I remember power gaming Morrowind, by making potions that made you more intelligent and 'have more luck'. If you drank those, you could make better potions, which in turn would made you luckier and more intelligent.
