True - but the management, production and transport of the wood pellets that go on to be burnt, produces more co2.

Plus burning stuff isn't that great a way to make power, especially wood - if you have ever tried to heat a house with wood verses a coal fire you'll understand.

Right now the wood pellets are just a way to skirt the rules - I doubt they'll be part of the mix for long, as solar/wind drops in price, along with cheap and reliable storage.

This is all intentional. They’re basically killing off their reseller model in favor of self-service for small clients.

When selling SKUs, a reseller model is great. They do the hard work of finding and converting long-tail leads, and all you have to give up is a little margin. When selling cloud subscriptions it becomes a burden — you have to continually pay overhead for your partners to manage your customers. Customer support expectations are low in the cloud (AWS provides minimal support, so MS can too).

Microsoft has been investing in customer-facing solution architects for this reason. They are investing dedicated resources in their big accounts, and are driving their partner strategy through the big consultancies rather than small MSPs. Their strategy seems to be one of landing a lot of “big fish;” which isn’t hard to do with a lot of big customers backtracking G-Suite to Office 365. From what I’ve seen, it’s working: Google simply doesn’t have the kind of relationships in the enterprise IT world that Microsoft does.

I'm using Linux and trying to find a e-reader recently. Here is what I tested on Arch:

Calibre: Failed to open

Okular: Ugly, cannot modify margin

bookworm: No two-page view, only scrolling-mode, and scrolling-mode cannot get the reading progress

zathura: too simplify resulting in not know how to use

lector: cannot recognize epub......

Buka: cannot open the book. (I don't get the logic flow, create a list first, then import the book, then crash)

Until I found Foliate, it support two-page view w/ progress bar, it support epub will in different language (I test en_US and zh_TW), fast lookup (gtrans, Wiktionary, Wikipedia), good UI, ...etc
I saw that too - I wouldn't say it is going too far - if people want to pay for it and it doesn't harm others - then why not?

Since energy generation is a 'free market' in the UK - why shouldn't there be more niche suppliers?
YES!

I wash hands tens of times per day. Every time before touching food, or after touching something potentially poisonous (like eliquid, strong detergents, gasoline, etc).

I can't imagine using liquid soap, it doesn't clean at all! It's horrible, hands covered in some oil, can't remove it with water.

I'm using this https://www.ladymakeup.com/shop/barwa_hypoallergenic_traditi...

Developers don't blame nvidia b/c they don't want to open source their driver. They blame nvidia for insisting on others shouldering the tech debt of EGLStreams (a closed, proprietary nvidia-only solution with no documentation whose implementation can't easily be tested and verified by compositor authors) instead of enabling the use of GBM with their drivers like every other Linux graphics driver. nvidia doesn't have to open up their drivers for that, AMD's closed source driver (so not the Mesa stack), supports GBM just fine.

Never heard of soap bars being considered dirty ever. That slime is just because the soap has been sitting in puddle of water in a soap-dish.

If the soap bar has "stuff" on it, you just rinse it and rub that stuff off in a second.
Sure, but we have way more research on this already, from humans:

Any interview involving data structures and algorithms will certainly expect you to be able to categorize the big O of your solution in both space and time. Your interviewer will probably also challenge you to at least speculate on how you could improve on the big O if needed. What is that about if not writing performant code?
Would doctors recommend using nothing at all, just warm water, for e.g. showering or bathing (not talking washing hands after changing diapers or so)? Or why not? It seems to be hard to find actual studies about the effects. In fact I have yet to find one, might be my search skills are lacking. From anecdotal experiments I don't see much difference and no negative effects. I don't like the smell anyway, my skin nor hair seems to care, in fact seems to produce less oil overall probably because it doesn't have to counter removal anymore, and as far as I and close friends can tell my body still smells the same.

I know. I was thinking about the scenario hiding very deep, and only surface to strike. You could deliver M.A.D. even months after the earth bound battle has come to a halt.

Besides, the talk was also about a submarine drone more like a long range torpedo. While you maybe can't launch such a thing from the very deep, at least you should be able to launch it from much deeper than a missile.

Those are fine tools as well. I’m not even suggesting a top down censor. I’m simply pointing out that the parent to my post is being ridiculous in mocking the grandparent poster for wanting to call out those who are pushing falsehoods.

If all of the ‘normal’ people just become silent and let the ‘crazy’ people run rampant because it’s impolite to correct them then we head down a path that I don’t want to go down. A path where society starts falling apart because common sense things like getting vaccines is no longer popular because the vocal ones have made it so and the people who know it’s a good idea have been silent.

"Being bored is good? I'll show you how bored I am! I'm the most bored. Here's an anecdote about how I was the most bored before being the most bored was known to be good. Therefore I really am bored and therefore good. LIKE ME LIKE ME LIKE ME"

You know what? I'm rarely bored, suck it.
I remember when operating systems had color themes and all applications magically adhered to the user settings because they used OS toolkits to draw their user interfaces.

It is 2019 and now we get to download a 7.5 megabyte untrusted binary blob that does who knows what to our system in order to patch one application with some rando's idea of a good dark theme. Pray it doesn't break the next time Firefox force-updates your shit.

Sigh.

Yes, but "normal" nuclear subs can still not go very deep without being crushed. Thus, they can still be hunted for. But a nuclear sub which can go thousands of meters deep in hiding mode, would change the theater of war considerably.
That depends on who/what you consider "British" and what you consider "arrival."

Is it the first time Viking/Germanic/scandi lowlanders permanently migrated, the first time normans take control of those settlements or the first time "English" lords displaced Gaelic speaking ones outside of cities and trade centres.

Not sure strongbow was (a) British or (b) responsible for land use outside of his east coast enclaves.

It is mentioned in the third paragraph already, highlighted in green. They don't offer a method of clean removal to their users. They run a web server on your machine that will reinstall Zoom on your macOS whenever it is convenient for them (secretly, without asking you first).

See here:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/358651/unable-to-c...

That web server is exploitable, as explained in the article.

Note that most Zoom users (probably lots of business people) won't be capable of following the uninstall steps necessary at the moment..
Do you mean you are just using water nowadays, or did you switch to using detergent or otherkind of cleaning formula?
Btw Zoom is also reinstalling itself one minute after uninstalling it. Made a video of it here:

I still use it to wash my hands however.

Heh just typed a similar reply to the doctor in another comment. I experience the same. To the point I'm starting to wonder if those millions of liters of soaps and gels used do actually have any positive effects at all. Surely there are people with certain skin conditions etc, and yes you better make sure your hands are clean before cooking food especially in less developed countries, but for the rest?
A sustainable company isn't built on velocity, lack of conflict, and willful ignorance.

Decisions need to be made between strong opinions about the right path forward. There needs to be balance and respect between these aspects.

Reading the PR statement, I highly doubt the people who have those strong opinions about security are being given a fair voice. They are probably there, but they have zero power to change anything within their product.

sure, fear is being used to allow government to control more and more sectors of society. there is always enough fear to go around and be used to justify more intervention, whether security or services.

if somehow you run out of fear, just declare it a right that all are by being human entitled to and fall back, its for the children.

people are easy to exploit, that is why both corporations and politicians have marketing teams. they might call those teams by different names but the end result is the same, to get the public to go along with the desire of those who want money from, support of, or control over.

She _labels_ whatever she disagrees with as racist pseudoscience, there's no argument made why those labels would apply. I'd prefer to hear arguments and a meaningful debate, I wouldn't want anyone to blindly accept wrong ideas.
I once had a bar of Greek olive soap that left a very slight oil-like residue on my skin after use, and I totally loved how that felt. I'm not quite sure why the soap was that way; maybe the oil hadn't saponified completely or something. The bar looked perfectly normal though, dark green with maybe a slight transparent quality to it (it was long ago, my memory may be slightly incorrect). I have never found such a soap again (my parents had brought it back from their vacation and I have forgotten the brand name by now; this was from before every shop was on the internet), but if anyone can help me find one, that would be really great.
I'm not sure about this logic though. I've been thinking about it recently as I'm on a similar renewable-only tarrif with a different energy company and was thinking of switching to an eletric car.

If the price is the same as the non-renewable suppliers and not all electricity is from renewable sources, then by switching to a renewable supplier all you're doing is bumping someone else onto a non-renewable supplier aren't you?

Presumably if everyone switched to a theoretical renewable-only supplier with no offset certificates now, they would have to stop making the renewable energy promise?

Yes, so why does she, as a scientist, start talking about supposed non-white cultures?
Yup. In the UK this is mostly the activity of Drax, a really big (like by world standards) thermal power plant, converted from coal.

What used to happen was whole trains filled with coal would vanish into Drax's maw and several gigawatts (like I said, it's big) of electricity comes out, plus ludicrous amounts of toxic ash, clouds of smoke etcetera. Part of that plant is now idled, because we don't burn very much coal any more, but a big part was converted to consume trees instead. Notionally it's "waste" wood, but the tremendous volumes involved make that a joke. Like, oh, here's a "waste" forest I didn't need.

At first the UK government was like "Check out how green this is" and as the scientific consensus got further towards "Do not burn trees you idiots!" they've been gradually walking that back towards "Well, at least it isn't coal?". But it operates 24/7 because Drax gets those renewable credits and is relatively cheap to operate, plus it's employment.

1. How can someone who does not have an account prevent themselves from being tagged and/or identified in uploaded photos? Corollary: why isn't the tagging and identification of a person an opt-in feature only?
Agreed. It’s almost impossible to construct a question that can’t be talked around if their intent is to deceive. But if that’s their intent then the whole exercise is pointless.

They suggested that if you didn't pass the exam, then it probably wasn't the subject for you. A couple of people failed that exam and continued with the rest of the year long course anyway. Those people did struggle and I don't think any of them passed.

I don't think anything has dropped support for VGA. Every modern graphics card will still happily show not only all VGA modes, but CGA and EGA as well. There are some edge cases that do not work right that can become apparent if for some ungodly reason you want to run 80's DOS games on bare metal on a new system.

Are you thinking of the analog VGA monitor output? Because I think that's been dropped from some recent cards, but that is different from the VGA graphics standard. You can output VGA graphics over HDMI or DVI or DisplayPort.
You're saying that there is no threat in accepting Euro? There definitely is - as you said, investors don't like uncertainty, and in our specific case that makes great uncertainty. Imagine a country saying they will abandon their 100+ years old currency in favor of much younger and worse performing one that the country has no control over, forever tying it to risky economies. Union currencies have usually been formed in times of either crisis or rapid growth which of course changes the risk calculation, but we're somewhere in the middle between these two and not after any destructive war.

The protocol may be open, but the permissioning participants are (as of writing) large multinational corporations. If a country tells them that they have credible reasons to believe Libra is being used for money laundering, tax evasion, or gasp funding terrorism, they will be more than happy to close those channels down.

From the article, we also have this quote (h/t 'Lucadg)

> At the core, we believe that a network that helps move more cash transactions — where a lot of illicit activities happen — to a digital network that features regulated on and off ramps with proper know-your-customer (KYC) practices, combined with the ability for law enforcement and regulators to conduct their own analysis of on-chain activity, will be a big opportunity to increase the efficacy of financial crimes monitoring and enforcement.
