You can get partitions that go all the way down, they just cost more.

But the reason for the shorter partitions isn't generally cost.

1. Security: you can see if someone is still in the toilet when it is closing time, etc.

2. Cleaning: it is easier to clean with a gap, more clearance for the mop.

What I really wish we would get is stall door locks that indicate if locked or not. A properly hung stall door should naturally move to the open position but most are not properly hung. So you have a row of stalls all with the door closed and no idea if they are occupied or not. Which means you are either pushing on the doors, looking under or through the gap. It's Barbaric.
That’s a stylistic choice. It’s not a universal rule.
> 2/3rds of CVEs are buffer overruns that cause RCE

Is this the "70 percent of all security bugs are memory safety issues" article people like to link every time?

If so, it's not 2/3, it's 70%. They are not buffer overruns, but memory issues, and not all can cause remote code execution.

There is no rule that says that fixing bugs is an itch and everybody has to disperately scratch it, and some people can sleep well at night even if they have a few bugs. The rest is FUD in favor of one or another language flavor.

Not all software has a remote endpoint, is connected to internet, has an UI, or process input, etc. C++ and "juggl(ing) double-ended chainsaws on fire" is not the same and is an unfair comparison.
Big tech has too much internal politics to move at the same pace as OpenAI. OpenAI had a small lean team, and massive massive money via MSFT. These two things normally do not co-exist. Satya Nadella really did pull a heist for Microsoft via the OpenAI partnership.

The thing is these companies don't need 5k-10k scientists for innovating in AI. They need much less scientists working on generic models. Easy to say with hindsight benefit of seeing GPT4, but I wonder what the rest of big tech was doing.

Tweetstream.io
Tweetstream.io is a web app that helps people to watch old tweets from a specific hashtag. Let's say that you missed your favorite TV show and you watched it after two days. What is missing from this experience is the live tweet stream. Now with the tweetstream.io this is doable. You just have to enter the hashtag, the start and end time and how fast you want to stream the tweets. Helpful tip, if you want to avoid spoilers stay to 'Real time' option.
There is also a Pro Plan where you can export all the tweets to Excel file format. We will send an excel report with all the selected tweets in your email. Also, you can perform sentiment analysis to the selected tweets.
If your point is that they would have experienced better software longevity with an Android device I have a bridge to sell you. The slow software issues experienced by older phones is universal across the industry. And buying cheap disposable Android phones means you’re trading off quality in hardware. My mom’s android phone went from really slow to completely unusable within 3yrs after an OS update.

The US gov hates TikTok because they can’t influence them like they influenced twitter during COVID. US tech industry hates TikTok because they are having their lunch eaten by it. Perfect formula for corpo-fascist policies like banning software for “security” reasons.
Rust solves a problem for people who only know GC languages - performance. They see their developer tools rewritten in Rust to great success. Examples include ruff for Python, turborepo and turbo build for JS. These tools are worth adopting because they're much faster than what came before them. Therefore Rust is worth learning to build things where performance matters.

For C and C++ developers, the value prop isn't so clearly defined. Sure it's possible that Rust code they write might have fewer bugs. But if they think they're the sort of developer that doesn't write bugs, then what does Rust do for them? Just slows them down. I won't get into whether they're right or wrong to feel the way they do.

There's also an element of the former group being more open to learning and adopting new tools. The latter group is more likely to say "if it ain't broke, I don't need to learn a new thing".
Force the release of all code that product was sold with in its factory state to users along with code for all updates applied to that factory state during its company supported lifetime. Firmware blobs the lot.

Corporate profits aren't an acceptable excuse for negligent business practices that push a forced culture of wasteful consumption. Apple needs to pull their head in along with many others in the tech world.
Do you mean running the oven at night on your own solar panels without a battery? Because at full production, you would need just 4 panels to run a decent domestic oven.

A promising solution is vehicle-to-grid, using the battery in your car to store and draw solar energy from. It all depends on where you are located and what your energy demands are though. I can provide all of my yearly energy needs with about 14 panels, which includes heating, but not a car (I don't use one), but I'm not off grid.
Rackspace racks up job cuts amid market downturn and talk of offshoring
"If it bleeds it leads". 20 years ago the world was being told that by now there'd be no ice in the Arctic at all. Yet, here we are. Last year was the highest level of ice for the last 12 years and ice levels are stable for the last decade:

Also, the trend on graph only looks alarming because it's been truncated and covers a relatively short period of time. Go back to old IPCC reports and the graphs show levels were much lower than today and then grew rapidly at the start of the 70s.

> That could never change.

Trying to revert that situtation was my bet.

The 20th century was a golden age for recorded music. Maybe there is no coming back but I don't think (or I didn't think then) that streaming services are in a very strong position in the long run: consumers like them because the current deal is that you pay a single subscription and you have access to basically all the music (a very nice proposition indeed). But the streaming services own no content, the day the content owners find a more lucrative way to sell music they will move part of their catalog out of the streaming services and at the same time, make the product less and less attractive. At least, that was the theory.

Now, I think Spotify in particular, has built a strong moat due to their ubiquity (all devices support Spotify). It's getting late for pop music. For Classical, I don't know but 6 years ago, I was convinced there was still a strong possibility to save the old model since it was still making money on the traditional channels.

> Streaming will make it worse, though.

It has been the case for a while now.

Paul Baxter from Delphian Records said it best years ago:

"There's no way that a record company could operate on the fees from streaming alone. It's absolutely impossible. There are too many zeros in front of the amount-per-stream figure."
The standard US mortgage is a 30 year fixed rate loan, with no prepayment penalty, as low as 15% down, a narrow spread over treasuries, and in some states no recourse beyond the security. Foreclosure is expensive and selling a seized home is expensive.

This is not a loan any sane person would ever write out of his own pocket. It is available because of a web of government programs and incentives, above all Fannie and Freddie.

This is out of the question for any normal user and is also not reliable at all. When you install a Jailbreak you are by default giving up on a plethora of apps which do proper checks and they won't work at all even if you try to bypass them (banking especially).

Older iOS versions have other problems as well. Safari is not an app that you can update, it's part of the OS. A lot of websites will simply stop working for you if your version is too old.
Meaningless is pretty subjective here, plenty of us derive joy from such things.
Currently, we don’t actually know the answer to that because the United States is subsidizing all of the research advancements in healthcare. We’re paying out the nose and the rest of the world gets the benefits at a discount.

In much the same way that environmental costs of business operations are subsidized across society instead of being born by the business itself.

Is “mental health awareness” counterproductive?
That's fine. Average Joe will live in a 15-minute city and find that all his needs are covered without a car!

Edit: I am being a little sarcastic, although I really like the idea of a 15-minute city and would happily live in one. I'm also priviledged to live in a country that largely developed before the car, and thus most cities are intrinsically capable of being 15-minute cities.

However, I say this to point out what is clearly true - there is no way for every citizen to own an EV. The "15-minute city" types of vision are how this will be addressed.

> Instead, the rational approach is to accept that the climate will change, there will be consequences of this, and then do our best to avoid the worst effects of the consequences.

Imagine one of the consequences of all the ice melting is the salty ocean is diluted allowing for planet scale algal and fungal blooms, extincting phytoplankton overnight. What if the only hope our species has for survival is not to accept climate will change and la la la continue dumping greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, but instead to immediately stop doing that and for the next 30 years at any one time maybe three quarters of the global population goes without electricity.
>In both cases adding chargers is possible with the right incentives and subsidies.

Incentives/subsidies may take care of the economical aspect, but the big one is the technical aspect, installing a charging point is the less relevant issue.

When you add a charging point you add (considering contemporaneity and what not) at least 1/5 or 1/4 of the nominal charging power, i.e. every 50 kW recharging point you are going to need at least 10 kW more.

When you multiply these by a "functional" (as in there are enough charging points for all the cars around[1]) number of charging points the amount of (added) electricity needed is impressive.

Besides producing it (with some zero emission method) you need to transport and distribute it, and level peaks.

[1] I have no idea of what the "enough" ratio should be but likely it is in the 1:50 - 1:100 ratio, 1 charging point every 100 cars imply 15 cars charged in 24 hours (24/7), which sounds to me very optimistic

I've had less success pointing out errors to people 'smarter' than me.

One was stuck learning C because they knew just enough about scope to be dangerous. They'd declared 'i' globally and used it in every subroutine for looping. Which failed confusingly when they called one looping function inside a loop in another.

No amount of insisting each function needed it's own 'i' would convince them. I left them to it.
Just a reminder that their mars mission cost less than the movie gravity.

> You only need to charge your car for a few hours every 300 miles

But where?

https://goo.gl/maps/giAwwS5qRKBuKNDH6

This is one of the many neighbourhoods in my country and many other european ones, with a large parking lot with a lot of cars. All there cars now need ~5 minutes at a gas station every 600-1000km.

53% of our country works outside of their place of residence, ~20% of people even drive more than 40km to work (and 40 back), and ~10% more than 60km one way.

So, this means that a rather large percentage of people will need to "only charge their car for a few hours" every two days. And again.. where?

If you have a house with a garage and cheap electricity, sure, you can. If you don't (as many not-rich people don't), you're basically fucked.

Add some studies that electric cars are even more expensive to charge than gaspowered ones are to refill, and it's even worse - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/electric-shock-study-found-ev...

And 2035 is not some distant future project... if you want to retrofit all those parking yards with chargers, you literally have to start doing it today... also build a bunch of nuclear power plants too, because if we do it the german way, by digging coal, we didn't do much.

Yeah. I set my web browsers to auto-reject requests to enable notifications from web pages. Too many random news sites and things ask, and I never want notifications from any of the websites I visit. Web notifications are a hard no for me.
Manjaro runs great on my MBP 2012. Or you can turn your MacBook Air into a "hackintosh" and install the latest macos on it using OpenCore Legacy Patcher [1]. Just be aware that recent version of macos relies heavily on hardware acceleration (video playback, cryptography, etc) and will fallback to CPU on older unsupported hardware, which is slow and deplete your battery fast.

In a country where same sex marriage is already the law of the land, and has overwhelming public support, you think that there’s not a high degree of overlap between Pride and those who have liberal attitudes on sex for other reasons? As a racial minority I can tell you that the people organizing marches on that basis typically have views that are much more radical than protecting interracial marriage.

Half the country thinks it’s okay for teenagers to have sex and another half thinks it’s immoral: https://news.gallup.com/poll/393515/americans-say-birth-cont.... You think the teachers who send third graders home with a Pride sticker aren’t overwhelmingly in the pro-teenage sex camp? You think the folks at the American library association who gave a book with explicit depictions of underage kids having sex don’t support such conduct? How to socialize kids about sex and sexuality is a multi-faceted subject that involves sensitivities that have nothing to do with gay people. You can reduce it to that if you want but you’re left scratching your head why people who overwhelmingly support same sex marriage can also support laws to more carefully curate what books public libraries make available.
One of the plan was to offer a bundled experience to the labels: you sell a physical media and the customer gets a code to add the album to their streaming library so they can also consume it digitally.

You might be able to get it from a rooted device - although if it is emmc based storage, then there isn't even a standard way for the OS to know - it depends on the manufacturer of the device using proprietary calls (if it collects stats at all).

Alibaba's six new groups are:

- Cloud

- Chinese e-commerce (taobao.com + others like 1688.com)

- Global e-commerce (alibaba.com + presumably some others)

- Digital mapping and food delivery (including ele.me, which has a large chunk of the Chinese food delivery market)

- Logistics

- Media and entertainment

Apart perhaps from the media business, these are all giant and highly viable businesses. And, even if they're spun off and managed separately, doesn't mean they won't work together -- Alibaba's new "Logistics" spin-off will surely do well by providing delivery services to the "Chinese e-commerce" spin-off.
How is it relevant? Meat consumption forms part of the energy balance, but in most cases reducing meat consumption isn't likely to make people less obese. In practice the reverse seems to happen due to differences in satiety and hormonal effects.
I won't argue low effort, but I just went to my carrier's site (Verizon), and I can get a "basic" flip phone for $80 unsubsidized. The high end of the range, a ruggedized Kyocera, was $240. I don't think this is unreasonable for a range of devices that have much lower market desire than they did 15 years ago. At $80, I'd call that a disposable travel phone.
Even pre-1970, it's hard to think of any combustion engine being "really simple" tbh.

This is a very well studied topic. Here's a good intro, for wind turbines specifically: https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/06/whats-the-carbon-...

In short, despite those costs, over the entire lifetime of the wind turbine this adds up to 5 - 26g of CO2 per kWh, as opposed to 437 - 758g (for gas) or 675 - 1689g (for coal).

So yes, it's not literally _zero_ CO2, but it is a 97.4% / 98.7% reduction in CO2 compared to gas/coal respectively. The same applies to most other similar questions: yes, there are lots of small non-zero factors, and it would be great to minimize those, but they're dwarfed by the massive emissions of the current approach.

The end goal here is _net_ zero, not strictly zero emissions output. Although there will still be some emissions there, they will be far far lower than today, and the remaining emissions are intended to be offset through all sorts of measures like increasing greenery, emission improvements in those production steps themselves, direct carbon capture, etc etc etc.
