The site shows a notification in German that I need to enable JavaScript to use the site, after the first paragraph. But then after that is the full article, including images, which is almost perfectly readable, except it's at 5% opacity (or maybe the JavaScript popup is 95% opacity overlaid on the article), which makes it impossible to read again. :'(
FWIW, that chart doesn't really substantiate your words. In fact just a tiny handful of plugin hybrids (really just the Ioniq and Prius Prime) reach the lifetime carbon impact seen by even the median EVs. And obviously that demands that the plugin be driven mostly as an EV (i.e. actually be plugged in regularly), something that has been frustratingly false for most deployed vehicles.
This is a good idea and something I've been looking into, it should be easy enough to do but I'm not sure you can hook things like auto fill in browsers and I'd imagine it could be easily abused (that is, trigger on another extensions auto fill)

I actually have a service in the works that has a simple API to create aliases etc, with hosted imap though not forwarding because forwarding is stupid. The main issue though is by itself it's not useful, it needs browser integration etc

Surprisingly, that seems correct—a Flatpak bundle includes a glibc; though that only leaves me with more questions:

- On one hand, only one version of ld.so can exist in a single address space (duh). Glibc requires carnal knowledge of ld.so, thus only one version of glibc can exist in a single address space. In a Flatpak you have (?) to assume the system glibc is incompatible with the bundled one either way, thus you can’t assume you can load host libraries.

- On the other hand, a number of system services on linux-gnu depend on loading host libraries. Even if we ignore NSS (or exile it into a separate server process as it should have been in the first place), that leaves accelerated graphics: whether you use Wayland or X, ultimately an accelerated graphics driver amounts to a change in libGL and libEGL / libGLX (directly or through some sort of dispatch mechanism). These libraries require carnal knowledge of the kernel-space driver, thus emphatically cannot be bundled; but the previous point means that you can’t load them from the host system either.

- Modern toolkits basically live on accelerated graphics. Flatpak was created to distribute graphical applications built on modern toolkits.

- ... Wait, what?

Transmission distance matters when you are talking about sending power 1000s miles from the generation location. For that, you want something like HVDC. However, for anything else, HVAC is good enough.

Google has openly stated the first "number of results" numbers are literally made up, and have no relevance to actual things. It was way too expensive to calculate for every query when the vast majority of them ended after the first page, so they don't even try.

Nothing is being "deleted" especially not actively. This is also why you shouldn't use "number of results" as data in research, because it is meaningless.

I've been doing this for about 5 years. So far none of my company specific email addresses have been leaked, but it has let me black hole some emails (eg Intel) because their unsubscribe systems are broken.

I wish I'd been more aggressive at switching to it as the one account I got the most spam from was Kickstarter when they got compromised. I'd say 70% of all my spam came from that one breach. That unfortunately was an email address I can't burn.

> "It's not so much "valuable social network mapping" as it is "the only social network available to Signal", by design."

I don't understand why you state this, when you obvioulsy know that data is connectable and joinable across discrete sources. Being "the only social network available to service X" is the inherent case for every single online service on the entire planet when viewed as an isolated entity. But this isn't a case of anonymized UUIDs. It's a case of personal phone numbers.

I think it could be a generational thing.

My nephew who's 26, runs a pool company. He said he barely makes any phone calls and most of his appointments and interactions with clients and friends are all mainly done through texting. The only social media he uses is Instagram.

My daughter is 15. She still uses the phone extensively for conferencing her friends when playing online games. She's uses the iphone Facetime extensively as well if she's not playing online games. Most of her friends do little texting and actually do call each other much more frequently and for much longer periods of time. Not unusual for her to be on the phone with one of her online buddies living in Florida for a few hours. Their conversations frequently revolve around videos they share or shows they're watching. They all have Apple devices and I've been surprised at the multiple different ways they're utilizing the phone feature on their devices in ways I never imagined.

Now me? I'm in my early 40's, my parents are their 70's and they're using the texting feature a lot more nowadays. My Mom and Dad both still prefer to use the phone, but my Dad's hearing is starting to become an issue, so texting allows him to have really good conversations without fear of losing out on anything. Myself, I still use the phone quite a bit, texting seems to to be tapering off in favor of email and phone calls with my friends and freelance clients which I never thought would happen.

I really thought the same thing, that the phone part of your device was quickly becoming obsolete. I've been surprised with my daughter's generation who are finding new ways to utilize the feature and combine with the other things her and friends love most - online gaming, sharing videos, sharing and discussing their favorite topics of conversation.
Hehehe. Yup. Completely missed the joke.
I'm obviously biased as I liked the tech so much I applied for a job here -- but if GraphQL is your thing I feel similarly about Hasura + Next.js with TypeScript & generated type-safe GQL client SDK's.

I also do this and my emails appeared on DB breaches so I got spam there.

Spam via sms doesn't seem to really exist here, maybe two per year now, up from zero until three years ago.

Each nuke plant in the US uses up a whole square mile. Worse though, is that it costs overwhelmingly more to build than the solar generating capacity that would displace it. Furthermore, you burn enough coal in the time it takes to build it as would pay for another matching solar farm.

b) engineering people who know that nuclear power is the solution and what happened in Chernobyl was an abberation, and it didn't even kill a fraction of the people that coal power has killed, anyway.

And every year, nothing happens, because of this stalemate.

Edit: Wait, wait, yes, july is colder than june, so I don't know how it could come up with less ice... argh I still don't get this
The ABI of the Linux kernel seems reasonably stable. Somebody should write a new dynamic linker that lets you easily have multiple versions of libraries - even libc - around. Then its just like windows where you have to install some weird MSVC runtimes to play old games.

That line reads as though more than 350 books might actually be detrimental. A slightly more detailed explanation from clicking through the link in the article:

(Worked in the residential solar industry on and off almost 10 years)

Financing providers, sales commissions, and profit + operating margins of the typical end-to-end residential solar sales and installation company make up a large portion of the price. What you're really paying for is convenience and expertise to understand the equipment, hire/train personnel, and jump through local - often arcane municipal requirements.

However if you measure your roof and can can find a freelance designer to draft up some CAD drawings that can get approved through your local municipality, buy the equipment yourself, and hire a crew + electrician to install it direct - you'll save quite a bit - at least 5-20k depending system size. Its more leg work, but you save enough its probably worth it. The install crew, electrician and CAD designer are the only real experts you might want to hire in for. The rest is paperwork, sales, and financing.

A pretty common $/watt is about $3.5-5/watt. Expect < $2.5/watt if you're cutting out sales and financing - doing more of the process yourself.

The other metric to look at is your estimated and actual production/panel ratio. You have flat costs on equipment but depending on where that panel is on your roof (based on shading, exposure, azimuth, etc) you might get less or more for your buck. The math is costs/month based on your financing taking into account expected production (plug numbers into a tool like https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/). A good production/panel ratio can significantly affect your ability to collect savings.

I emphasize production/panel because most of these Solar Sales companies pay their sales guy on a per/watt rate where bigger is better, not necessarily efficiency and financial benefit for the customer. This can incentivize them to push for panels in places on your roof where they'll hardly produce - adding to the overall cost of the system something that is good for them and not necessarily for you.

If you have the documents and can put good numbers together you can likely get financing through your local bank directly - or imo just pay cash if you can. Avoid PPAs, stick to loans with good rates or cash.

A really common bottleneck at these solar installation companies is either 1. permitting, or later on: inspections and interconnection approval (City/Municipality + Power Co.). The shadier solar companies can technically get paid by the financing provider prior to a customer's system being fully inspected and interconnected with the grid. This doesn't always give them in incentive to bring the project to a closure as they've already gotten paid and any additional work is a truck roll, technician hours, and troubleshooting - even if it leaves the customer without a producing system and monthly payments.

TIL about Paperclips. Curse you for posting that link! At least I managed to release the hypno drones though...
This is probably not true, and it's at least not true for any of the places I've lived on the west coast. As long as an inspector signs off on it (which they have to do regardless of if you do the work or if an electrician does it), and it's found to be up to code, it's fine.

>Put it another away, all it takes is about four one-in-a-million chance independent events (or filters) and you're left with Earth being the only planet with life in the observable universe.

This presupposes life can only exist on a planet with several exact characteristics that we have on Earth. Given life on Earth exists quite nearly in every environment that exists, it could be expected that despite significant filters, there is room for several variations which enable life even if quite different.
Yes. The world around you starts to make more sense when you realize that second order effects are virtually never considered by the majority of people. A sizeable portion of them are not even capable of doing so.

> Practically speaking, we don’t expect the gatekeepers to ... implement multihead messengers that also speak open protocols

But isn't it reasonable to demand that gatekeepers' messengers support a local plugin API which lets people add support for other protocols?

I guess that's what the question "Can you run E2EE bridges clientside to make them safer?" is asking, and I hope that this becomes the "industry standard" approach that gatekeepers end up being legally and socially compelled to implement.
From what I have observed, there seem to be three major driving forces in consumer and commercial appliances:

1: Energy regulations

2: Transition from high-cost luxuries to being more common (Similar to air travel)

3: Massive increase in global competition

The first one is really easy to see in the commercial space especially. Do things like plastic fan blades and VFDs make units more efficient? Yes. Do they also make them more likely to fail/add new failure points? Yes.

The energy regulation on consumer and commercial appliances is very strong in the US. If you compare even things like washing machines, you can see energy usage dropping hundreds of watts in some cases.

However, that has come at the cost of reliability.

As for #2, airplanes are a great comparison. At one time they were a luxury and you expected a certain level of service. As they got more affordable, that dropped away and people get packed in like sardines. That's the price of making it available to everyone.

Today isn't like the period when a washing machine was a luxury good. Now everyone has one - so the motivation is to produce them as cheaply as possible to undercut competition.

Reliability and energy usage aren't mutually exclusive, but because of #2 a cheap, less reliable way of saving power will almost always be taken over a more robust yet still efficient design.

These two explanations combined with a bit of Hanlon's razor explain almost all of modern appliance unreliability.

There is no active attempt to make units less reliable - but there's no motivation to do otherwise for most manufacturers given the shear amount of cheap competition present.
Solar powered AC is actually pretty reasonable, isn’t it?
