You're mixing religious text and fantasy with movies/documentaries based on real people. Those are two different genre.

People will watch a movie on mother Teresa as well as a movie on Hitler (or some other monster). But I bet a lot more people would be interested in the bad person movie. This doesn't mean that they are bad people, it is just that generally, movies on bad people are more interesting to the masses than movies on good people.

It is not my queue I am talking about (I watch good shows too). You can look at History channel, Netflix etc - and if you compare apples to apples, I bet movies/shows on bad people are a easier sell than movies/shows on good people.
Far, far less than normal nuclear reactors.

But the real reason I'm replying is to ask why the waste factor is only ever brought up for nuclear, and not for coal (which also emits radiation into the atmosphere), wind (do you know how old turbine blades are disposed?), gas (where does the CO2 go?), etc.

Nuclear waste is such an overblown risk. If something is highly radioactive, it won't be radioactive for long. If it is lowly radioactive, it isn't a big problem to begin with. Conflating these two things so that people think that waste is both highly radioactive and radioactive forever was a fantastic trick by the environmental lobby, and one that has almost certainly doomed the ecosphere since instead of relying on clean nuclear power, we continued to rely on fossil fuels, adding decades of emissions to the atmosphere. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory...
The problem with that is that no bank is going to give a kid with no assets $81,659 a year [0] that they can just wipe out instantly after college.

Thus you'll likely create a two tier system of colleges. One will be low cost enough that declaring bankruptcy after college is not worth it. These will likely be crappy because they cannot afford good facilities or the best professors. Then you will have the super expensive ones with nice facilities and the best professors that only kids with rich parents who can pay for it can go.

This way it ensures you only spend 2 hours on it without being penalized. If you are free to spend any amount of time you can be sure someone spent 40 hours working on it, you really don't want to compete with that. So another person would say that this combines the best from take home and white board, you don't have to travel anywhere for the interview, you get to do a project rather than algorithm, and it doesn't waste a lot of your time.
There's only two viable paths to a zero emissions society. One is nuclear and the other is hydrogen. We have to pick one or the other (or both) as all other ideas have fallen far short of the goal.
An existing working solution, even if not perfect, patched, with lot of baggage and technical debt is infinitely better than a non-yet invented ideal, perfect solution.

Essentially Google has filled a vacuum where other solutions could have existed, say, something based on the OSM dataset and non-proprietary technologies - possibly a federated set of solutions for finding businesses like cafes, restaurants or shops and such.

Now, it's pretty hard if not impossible to compete with them thanks to the network effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect

How could any company that's interested in being "open" compete with a behemoth that has the advantage of countless engineer-years that have been spent developing their solutions, as well as millions of participants that have given them the data, which probably cannot be legally mined and imported and certainly isn't exported?

The answer is that they can't and being upset about this is probably a valid emotional response, even though it could be worded a bit better.

Edit: I can't help but to think of how the industry handles DNS domains, for example, the .lv domain for my country is looked after by the University of Latvia: https://www.nic.lv/en/about-us

I wonder what a similarly distributed registry of companies, for example, run by the governments of each country (which could then be integrated with the company registers) would look like. Of course, whether the quality of engineering or the overall experience would be up to par with Google's is debatable.

That said, the distributed COVID contact tracing approach that we saw was a little bit like this - even if Google and Apple did a lot of work for the underlying library, each country developed their own contact tracing app and eventually all of those could interoperate. There's no actual reason why the FOSS community couldn't build something like that, but for finding companies etc.
The billion birds things seems to go back to one single "study", and there already seem to be doubts about it https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2013/02/03/170851048/do-we... (although I think npr is a weird source, I don't know).

In any case, those are probably just napkin calculations. And I bet I can find a wild variety of estimates for birds killed by wind turbines, too - depending on whether the person doing the estimating wants turbines to succeed or not.

It seems likely they don't kill the same birds as wind turbines, either. And not in the same locations.

All in all the comparison might just make not much sense to begin with.

How many birds are being killed and eaten by humans, for example? Probably several billions more, but they are not the same birds that are being killed by turbines.

HERE WeGo is a great alternative to Google Maps. It works on Android, iOS, and web. Business data is pulled from TripAdvisor.

(The app store ratings for HERE WeGo are a bit low because they recently rewrote the app and the first few versions were unstable. The rewrite added lane guidance, which is a useful feature to have for driving directions.)

- HERE WeGo (web): https://wego.here.com

- HERE WeGo (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.here.app.m...

- HERE WeGo (iOS): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/here-wego-maps-navigation/id95...

If the quality of the OSM data in your area is good, the best OSM-based apps are:

- Organic Maps (FOSS, simple interface): https://organicmaps.app

- OsmAnd (FOSS, loaded with features): https://osmand.net

- Magic Earth (proprietary, uses a non-OSM data source for address locations): https://www.magicearth.com

All 3 of these apps support both Android and iOS.
I use the Google Drive app to scan documents into PDFs with my phone. I give them descriptive names and put them in a folder hierarchy that makes sense. It works pretty well. It might not be OCR'd for text search or anything but all I really need it for is to hold onto things in case a boomer org requires me to pony up a PDF (taxes, medical records, etc).

Anything I think I'll need or want to keep gets scanned, everything else is shredded once it is no longer useful. Paper docs are almost guaranteed to get lost - the only paper docs I intentionally hold long-term are things I don't want to lose in a fire, in a bug-out bag.

I haven't gotten around to it yet but I intend to eventually back up the critical documents locally or in some other cloud service to prevent random Google account locks from totally crippling me.
I'm from Italy but working in Switzerland for a FAANG company. My theory about the management-heavy way to do things in Europe is the following: in Europe is hard to fire someone unless there is a clear and willingly negligence from his/her part. Engineers' output is somewhat easier to measure than "fluffy" (pardon my lack of better words) tasks performed by management and hence it's hard to prove a manager is doing nothing. Therefore, people tend to gravitate to these positions because they almost certainly guarantee job safety. In my personal experience this happens disproportionately much in countries where worker unions have more sway (like France, Italy, and Germany). Also in my opinion it's not a coincidence that such countries create companies that are bureaucratic behemoths in which there are several different committees to take every small decision. That's how management justify its existence.

This is the main reason that pushed me to go to Switzerland to work for an American company. I feel this is the sweet spot when considering worker rights, salary/purchasing power, interesting work without too much bureaucracy, quality of life, and work-life balance.

I just tried and it came up with Barbican centre and Barbican tube, might be worth updating to the latest version as there seem to have been a lot of improvement on the London map. Walking guidance also works better in Apple maps for me (especially with the watch).
Still I also do find myself using Google Maps a lot of the time despite preferring the Apple one on privacy / design grounds.
Sure, but you do not need a smartphone to make calls. A feature phone can be had for < £20 (and the battery will last a looong time). I wouldn't be surprised if charities were already giving them away and many homeless already had one.

And what’s even worse is that the downloader is part of the game and puts load my GPU. It usually takes my 3090 from 30W at idle to 105W while downloading. That’s a not insignificant amount of heat and energy when the downloads are slow enough that you need to leave it on overnight.

It’s so bad that there is a meme I’ve seen which shows Steam claiming 55hrs of play time (when the game is open) and MSFS showing only seven hours of flight time.
I fail to see how that changes anything. Apple has a good refund policy, but kids game on laptops too, and if they know your CC number, they can buy things on Fortnite on their laptops; the root problem is kids knowing your CC number. I don't see how Apple makes any difference.

Ease of cancellation? Right now, no big app (except games) uses IAP anyway, because they don't want to give 30% profits to Apple. So you already need to go to Netflix.com, Disney.com, Kindle.com to cancel subscriptions. Zero difference.

I just don't see what value Apple is adding here. Sure, friction means that you probably won't give your CC details to a 6$/year weather app subscription, but you be willing to buy it with IAP. But devs will still be able to provide IAPs, you know? And if they decide not to, you can just avoid those apps. What difference will it make in the average user's day?
> I also don't know what you mean "volunteer excuse", it's not an excuse, that is the truth. Those people are unpaid volunteers doing it in their spare time, you deserve to know that so you don't get the wrong expectation. If they lack time or motivation to review a backlog of issues and merge requests then dumping more merge requests on them is probably not going to help.

So open discussion is not accepted, changes to the plan are not accepted because they're volunteers and can't accomodate everybody, merge requests are not ideal because they don't have time to review them.

Pray tell me, how does one contribute to GNOME?

And I maintain that hiding behind "I'm just a volunteer, I don't have time for that shit" is an excuse, and a bad one. There's a lot of volunteers in the open source world, yet discussion and ideas flow more easily elsewhere.

That's bonk. PAM significantly simplified the ecosystem - at the time there were dozens specialized hack upon hack upon hack login suits such as

* login-otp

* login-shadow

* login-skey

* des-login

* login-rsa-otp

that implemented some of the functionality for some of the manipulations, sometimes on the same system. Some of them already used shared libraries and some of those shared libraries already used the names. Specifying loading paths fully was considered a bad idea because of how subsystems were installed on the deployed servers. The decisions about name collisions ( pam_ prefix ), following Sun's original specs ( some of the names of stages ), etc were made from those constraints. It needed to be deployable on the top of the existing login systems where the users would not be locked out because of some sort of a conflict.

PAM significantly simplified that messy ecosystem while being extremely system, which is why it won and remains the integral part of the ecosystem for twenty seven years.

But hey, this is open source -- don't like it? Rewrite it in Rust! Just remember that first you would need to make sure that Rust exists on all the platforms PAM has been used on.[0]

[0] Pam-static was created as during the first few releases Linux/Alpha did not have support for shared libraries. So there it was, Pluggable Authentication Modules which on Alpha did not have dynamic loaders.

Wait, wasn't iPhone an AT&T/Cingular exclusive for awhile? I feel like this is kind of antithetical to the idea of escaping the tyranny of carriers. Unless escaping the tyranny of carriers means that between 2007 and 2011, iPhones were tired to one carrier.

Then there is the side loading apps issue. There is only one true source for apps on iPhone, but someone can actually build an alternative app store for android phones. This seems more like walled garden activity.

Unions are relatively controversial everywhere. In the UK and other parts of Europe, for instance, they also divide opinion, either generally or in specific cases where they are accused of over-reach.

In the US I get the impression they are more controversial, perhaps because they are less common (so it is easier for those against to make mountains out of molehills because the public in general are less aware where the truth ends and the spin starts), perhaps because the US is more openly capitalistic (the old “in America many see themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires, not middle-/working-/poor-class”) and unions are seen as a serious blocker in that frame of mind, perhaps because of the history if the word union by opposing political powers, most likely because of a mix of the above and the amount of shouty misinformation anything attracts from the likes of Fox “news” and similarly crap (but in some cases differently biased) outlets generate on every subject.

But they are definitely a controversial topic elsewhere too.
