>The laws apply to technology companies with market valuations of at least €75 billion ($80 billion) and a minimum of 45 million monthly users within the EU.

It seems like Bitcoin’s low rate of inflation and Lightning Network could make it a decent store of value and means of payment, but we will see if that actually happens.
Replace "male chicks" with any other baby (even human) and you may have a different reaction to masserating them while they're alive.

This doesn't provide a distraction from other animal welfare issues, it fixes one of the many issues that exist while others are being solved. Whether or not male chicks are ground up, hens will still live horrible lives. The only option is to create lab-grown egg facilities and not involve any chickens at all, or eat plant-based replacements (which aren't all soy or Just egg, though those are both options).

IMO, we can't farm animals without exploitation and should rethink our food system, but it would be great if in the meantime, we stop breeding and killing all of these sentient animals as part of the egg industry.
AFAICT: There's a large net gain compared to the energy emitted by the lasers. There is still a considerable loss compared to the energy consumed by the lasers.

This article looks at the history of nuclear weapons proliferation as enabled by civil nuclear power projects. It makes the case that because wind and solar don't have this risk, they will innately grow faster. It also notes that nuclear power's growth ended with the end of the Cold War.

What is clear today is that Javascript is on every computer in the world (including phones). It is now even taking over for native desktop apps and native mobile apps. At this point, including a JS engine into all the kernels for apps and browsers to use just seems prudent.

The claim that PayPal is "a must have" for e-commerce is misleading at best - the largest e-commerce sellers largely _don't_ accept PayPal (see, for example, Amazon) - and I would argue that isn't some weird coincidence.

> Some companies try to abandon PayPal and see a sharp decline in sales.

Removing PayPal is going to be way different than not having it in the first place, because you have cultivated a client base that expects to pay with PayPal.
The answers you got are excellent but a short response might just say you don't start with just X energy.

In a sense it's no more mysterious (conservation of energy-wise) than adding the energy of a spark results in the energy of the wood fire.

i.e. energy is transformed, not created as you quite accurately write.

Q is irrelevant, you need throughput. If your Q is one million, but you are processing one tiny capsule per second, you are producing too little money to pay for the facility.

If you can process a tanker worth of hydrogen per second, Q can be just above break even and you will still make money.
IIRC the Colossus machine built during WW2 was basically counting the number of bits resulting from doing various boolean operations on the input. It was used to crack the Lorenz cipher, which XORed the plaintext with a pseudo-random keystream (generated using mechanical rotors!).

Cryptography has advanced since then - and I'm not an expert - but there may still be statistical weaknesses that could be found by counting bits?

Yet if PayPal deemed FreedomPhone a scam, why did PayPal end up dispersing the funds to FreedomPhone rather than returning them to users. This just makes it less likely that users will ever see the product (however pointless and exploitative I deem that product) they paid for.

Ah, yeah that is totally valid. My thinking is not exactly that fusion power will be cheaper than fission any time soon, but that the technology has the potential to deliver safer power, and as important as wind and solar are to our transition over the next few decades, I believe that fusion has the potential to deliver much higher levels of power than wind and solar, allowing for new uses for electricity previously considered impractical. I wonder what kind of new manufacturing processes we can come up with if we have enough power to deliver huge amounts of process heat, for example.

I agree with you that in a practical sense fusion power will not be economical in the next 50 years, but then solar power was not economical for most of my life either. I am excited for the technology to get to the point where at the very least it is producing power, as this will stimulate more investment in lowering the costs, and has been such a dream for longer than I have been alive.
> In the case of commodity futures, it allows commodities to be traded on an exchange where bags of onion seeds would otherwise be difficult to trade.

That is not essential to what futures do. The essence of a future, is that it is a trade that is agreed upon today, but which settles in the future. I sell my corn to you at a price we agree on today for delivery in 3 months. That allows producers and consumers of commodities to reduce risk, while speculators can increase their risk.

Also -- weird but interesting -- the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_Futures_Act bans trading futures contracts on onions (and motion picture box office receipts). Not sure if that would apply to onion seed.

It's probably worth investigating all your options -- like, you might be able to get a medical excuse that effectively discounts your failed classes for any number of life situations -- illness/long covid, mental health breakdown, getting an 'I' (Incomplete) from the professor, redoing the classes in exchange to drop the grade this semester, make-up work, etc. etc.

I don't remember any details of what my own life was like in college -- too long ago -- but i know these types of things were a constant -- when is the drop date, what do you do if you missed it, how can you not fail a class even tho you just decided you weren't going to show up all semester, i slept thru the final, i got food poisoning during the Final), etc. etc.

Professors have a lot of power.

A school counselor would is almost certainly worth a talking to.

Colleges are not what they used to be -- they _really_ have to be responsive to students, and many of them already were to a certain extent.

But it won't just fall in your lap - you have to go get it. Talking to friends/classmates is obviously helpful if you have those, but if not I'd start with a school counselor if they have that, then proceed to the school policies that talk about hardships, etc.

I'm currently extending my house in the UK (where this construction is less common for full houses) and the upstairs dormer is built in much the same way. While I wouldn't have described it as rickety before sheathing, it's definitely much more solid once the walls have each side covered in well nailed-on OSB - it gains a lot of stability that's otherwise lacking to a degree as there's no diagonal bracing (other than some temporary elements which are removed as you add strength).

I'm not a builder (I'm a musician for the most part), but what I've built is to a pro standard and millimetre-accurate. That wouldn't have been the case had it been post-and-beam!

PayPal’s stronghold in the US is because eBay was one of the first ways to buy things online and using PayPal was the only way to pay. I’m sure PayPal didn’t have that sort of leverage in other countries where online sales grew in other ways.
What's the precedent for that? Windows, MacOS, Android and Linux have all allowed the user to indiscriminately install software, but I've never heard of legislation that tried to reverse that.

Yeah, the density number looks inappropriate. While looking more closely I found that my reference value of 1 kg lift per cubic meter was off; apparently Wikipedia says its closer to 4. That means the balloon size goes from radius of 20m. to 30m. and the fuel tank size goes from 100 kg to 400 kg.

Is it though? The laser needed for the laser-induced plasma EUV source are nothing you can buy of-the-shelve and is nothing trivial to design and Trumpf has lots of expertise in this area (since they are not just a supplier for lasers, but use the lasers themselves for machine tools). Could another company have made it? Probably! But the same is true for the whole EUV light source, since Cymer wasn't the only game in town after all (there were a number of other companies working on it in the US and in Europe) - with ASML also collaborating with several potential competing suppliers at the same time.
But no one really cares about anyone but the winners in the end, so only ASML and Trumpf are left standing in the end to bask in the glory.

I think a lot of people now have calculated that it wasn't possible, but I wonder;

1) how much modern information, or information only openly available now, was used to determine that.

2) How long it took them to figure that out and what stress they were under trying the calculations. Taking a youtuber a few days to figure it out is already too long.

3) How much CPU processing it took to make the calculation? Just putting it into an Excel doc on a modern computer seems trivial now, but Cray-1's weren't available in the USSR and a modern computer is easily 1000x more powerful than one). Constructing the Fortran simulation would take time to write and debug, then running it on a soviet PDP-11 clone would take a lot of time too. A Cray-1 is 1000x faster, and a modern computer is 1,000,000X faster). Doing the creating and editing of a youtube video, compressing it with the codec and uploading it, would take a significant percentage of 1986's world wide combined computing power.

There's a universe of FOSS that hasn't needed third-party payment, lawyers, accountants, etc. because they do not perceive the purpose of apps as "making money."

That universe doesn't quite exist on iOS, partly because Apple makes it so uncomfortable in ways to attempt. I am hopeful that this shakeup might, in some way, make that easier. I've always wanted to ship some basic apps that do things without any ads or purchases or whatnot.

I did a Keto diet for 4 months and lost 45lbs. Those pounds started coming back quick after I eased off of it (my triglycerides and cholesterol numbers were getting worryingly high). I also found it incredibly difficult to jump back into Keto for any sustained period of time afterwards. Tried and failed within a couple of weeks multiple times, kind of like whenever I try to go off of caffeine.

Been finding just eating lower-carb (not as low as keto, and some days where there have been carb binges) and focusing more on whole foods and not eating high-fat foods and my triglycerides and cholesterol numbers are back to normal levels, and I'm back to losing weight again, albeit a lot slower (down 25 lbs this year).

I know another guy who lost 107lbs off Keto (he was my initial inspiration to try it, in fact) and he eventually went off it and he had regained about half of that when I saw him last (according to him).

I'm sure there are people who have been able to keep the weight off, but it was difficult for me.

The largest sellers aren't a reason to use PayPal. They can be assumed to have their shit together by now and can protect payment details from a breach. But for smaller e-commerce sites I'd never in a million years trust them with direct CC number entry. You need a proxy and in the US PayPal is the only dependable option for payers.
