"no-ego ego" strikes again
I don't know why you're arguing with me when I'm literally giving you sources backing up that what I'm saying is a mere statement of fact: contracts are inherently subject to copyright law like any other text, although the individual violation may be hard to demonstrate and cases difficult to win.

If I understand your example correctly, you would take an existing SaaS's ToS (i.e. copy their copyrighted work), publish it as your own (i.e. lie) and then file a DMCA takedown request (i.e. commit perjury) to force them to remove their ToS? Yes, you could do that. But since you likely can't demonstrate that you're the original copyright holder (e.g. trivially their SaaS pre-dates your service and they probably have internal documents like e-mails surrounding the drafting of the ToS whereas you don't unless you forge those as well) and sending a DMCA takedown request for works you don't actually own is literally a felony crime, I don't think that's a winning strategy.

To be clear: yes, there are laws against abusing DMCA takedown requests, precisely because otherwise anyone could just send them out for fun. Specifically DMCA takedown requests include a statement under penalty of perjury from the copyright holder that they hold the copyright. So this isn't a special DMCA law but just a boring old felony crime involved in fraudulently filing illegitimate legal claims.

If you're wondering why you've never heard of this it's probably because you're thinking of sites like YouTube which don't actually receive DMCA takedown requests normally but instead provide an arbitration system to allow content owners to avoid messy legal back-and-forths over the back of Google and instead be trusted based on who they are (i.e. smaller creators will be stuck in appeals limbo trying to talk to a human whereas large corporations will usually be trusted by default). This does not however apply to e.g. GitHub, which is why there is a public collection of DMCA takedown requests hosted by them: https://github.com/github/dmca

To speed up this conversation: if you can think of another example where your conclusion is "but this is dumb" then it's likely because your example is, not the legal situation you're looking at. Also "but this is dumb" is not a counter-argument to "this is what the law is like". The law does not care if you think it is dumb and saying it is dumb is not a good defense if you end up in court.
You have a lot of industrial processes that produce highly concentrated CO2 - for example, cement production which is responsible for about 8% of worldwide CO2 emissions.
There are even people like me, who have Nitro and still use modded client for different reasons.

It's a standalone program using the API in a nonstandard way but I don't think anyone's been banned for using it yet.
Oh, and I forgot: If you want to put a big-ish new structure somewhere, you also need to get a building permit, which is work and will lead to questions about parking.
Many. And still, many more are bought up every year. Those small M0 and M0+ cost pennies... if you made all chopsticks in the world out of M0s instead of wood, it would be more cost effective lol

(okay, maybe this is an exaggeration, but these small things are pretty much everywhere... not even speaking about chips in other, more complex devices)
If the artist is unhappy with what they get in streaming, they usually withdraw their catalogue and offer their music via some alternative path (bandcamp, etc...) I don't think it's up to the users to decide how do artists want to be compensated.

A totally different story is: "I pirate because I can and because I want", but do not try to pass pirating as some sort of utopian "information wants to be free" BS
Matrix isn't better than Discord on that aspect.

There are the anime communities already, so it's not just about projects.

Also, on Discord, you can have pretty serious discussions and organise your projects. But it's never done in #general : you need to create specific rooms where users focus.

The shoutout function is at the heart of the group on Discord.

But Discord won users in the first place by allowing them to create rooms and organize discussions.
It was meant to run projects (if you consider a RPG is a project, but whatever, as long as it works)
Pretty sure Apple Music still let's you but actual music, and it used to be DRM free so you can download and do as you wish with it. They will relentlessly push the subscription service though.

Personally, I buy from https://bleep.com/ , I've been using them for well over a decade, I find it excellent for indie and electronic stuff, and still buy random albums from their recommended section if I want to try something new.

one of the nicest things about nixos is illustrated here, where a concrete few tens of lines of code implement a feature that some consider to define an entire genre of distro

as a teenager i ran gentoo & passively marvelled in the back of my head that this self-described “meta-distribution” was flexible enough to serve as the basis of chromeos or whatever

it's no coincidence that “gentoo but Good Actually” was one of the descriptions i heard that convinced me to give nixos a spin, paralleled further by the fact that i unironically ran gentoo prefix on macos in lieu of homebrew/macports for a while, and would later go on to run nix-darwin

this particular instance of flexibility, though, feeds back nicely into one of the bullet points on the nixos elevator pitch (one little config directory is all you need to care about outside /var or /home). in a sense, running this setup is putting your money where your mouth is as far as that claim is concerned. and hey whoa would you look at that, it works. neat!
My napkin says you have 8C on the left and 9C on the right, so your stoichiometry is off. I haven’t tried to check any of the rest.

I’m guessing the major error is that the -0.8V is “versus reversible hydrogen electrode ”, so it’s a half-reaction and you need to fill in the correct other half reaction, and there is probably H2 involved. Then you would dig out some free energy values to see how efficient it is.

(I only read the abstract.)

Only if more fuel is created than is used, which would seem to be a waste of energy. On the whole, it should be a balanced loop and should net off.
I agree, PowerShell does the same thing better.

And I'm disappointed that things have stagnated so much. I mean, cool, a commandline is an useful concept that sometimes fits a given task excellently well. But why in the hell are we still emulating a VT100? How is a modern Linux console sticking to a 50 year old level of functionality?

And why are we scripting in something as painful as Bash?
The story I hear the most is not wanting or trusting the government with their body or being able to avoid killing people — I’ve had those statements made to me recently. There’s a massive lack of institutional trust in leadership outside of the military families I know.

Ok, I stand corrected - but I imagine vast majority of prisoners haven't been sentenced to such(in fact have any such sentences ever been handed out in recent times?).
Burning the propane will release the same amount of Co2 again... So I doubt it will change much
You can not trade LSE stocks on zero commision US apps, thus you can not become a meme stonk.
I don't think it's about lack of capital but higher valuations. For reasons which don't seem to be well understood, investors on US markets seem to be willing to bid higher multiples than investors on UK and most other markets.

> banks no longer get to do 10-1 fractional reserve banking

Fractional reserve banking is pretty much an urban myth. Banks create money when they make commercial loans. The Bank of England explains it quite nicely here:

Selling things is usually how you make money, no?
I know this is probably not the cause, and maybe it's just me being a naive SJW, but in my view London's financial institutions lost 90% of their credibility capital recently not so much because of Brexit (which hit them too) but because of the whole LME Nickel trade rollbacks shenanigans. Yes I know LME != LSE, and I know it was a lose-lose situation, but they co-exist and as a person who is not into finance they share their credibility to an extent.

> At least 4 5.25" bays for optical and floppy drives.
> At least two 3.5" bays for floppy and zip

I mean sure, everyone has different requirements, buy it seems you are not looking for a PC case that counts good today. You are looking for one that counted good in early 2000s. Zip drive has been dead for good part of the past 2 decades, and finding a _modern_ mainboard with ide connection for the Floppy would be quite a challenge (I won't even mention finding a new internal floppy drive...)
Sure enough, the principles of Carnot's thermodynamics and the premises of statistical mechanisc look quite differently. The thing is: since both form the same thermodynamics there must be a connection.

I submit: the qualification 'completely independent axioms' is incorrect. There is the observation: temperature is transitive. This transitive property is a statement of conservation (In terms of Carnot's thermodynamic it used to be thought of as conservation of Caloric.) The concept of Conservation of a quantity correlates with information.

We have that statistical mechanics subsumed Carnot's thermodynamics.

The laws of Carnot's thermodynamics are theorems of statistical mechanics. (Those theorems weren't necessarily stated explicitly. I'm saying the principles of statistical mechanics are sufficient to imply the laws of Carnot's thermodynamics.)
Correction: heat pumps pump heat from 1 place to another. As in: place where it gets pumped out of, gets colder.

Fundamentally different process from exothermal chemical reaction, or electric heating using resistive wire.
This is great. And if you're into alternative keyboard layouts, Eventida Misha [1] is a Eurorack module with an interesting interval based keyboard, where the keys move up/down a certain number of steps in a scale, relative to the previous note that was played. Great fun for improvisation, with no chance of accidental dissonant notes.

>> Dutch law allowed the throne to pass to a female child, but the Grand Duchy was under different laws and was inherited by a claimant rather than the new Dutch queen. (Monarchy is pretty weird in practice.)

Game of Thrones, with its campy portrayal of regal titles and announcements, kind of drives this point home. European aristocracy, especially those derived from germanic and other barbarian cultures, held titles like collectibles. Lordships accrued rather than expanded. The could be dispersed and often were.

If you watch Queen Elizebeth coronation, the list of titles would shame Daenerys Targaryen. It's quite surreal. Queen of Jamaica, Empress of India, Defender of the faith...

Even the 20th century version was not unrelated to real politics, but as you go back, this reflected real political power and machinations. Every title had different rules, different arbiters, and disputes led to actual wars.
> Convincing everyone in the world to do a massive cultural change involving large standard of living decreases is not happening except at the point of a literal gun.

...or when you have millions of people on the Western borders fleeing from climate change and its side effects (we're already seeing just how cruel politicans behave towards the relatively small amount of people at the borders currently - imagine how the situation will look like with just 10x as many!), or entire of our states being devastated by wildfires, hurricanes or tornadoes. Probably it's going to take the latter until politicians wake up, when the situation is undeniable even to the hardest MAGAts and other deniers.

The key thing is: humanity is using more resources (no matter if you're talking about food, drinkable water or fuel) than nature can regenerate, each year. We are currently digging into reserves that took (in case of groundwater) sometimes many millennia to create.

> The world can't afford to wait for impractical solutions.

It can't afford doing nothing, because continuing as-is without managing sensible degrowth may work out for our generations, but the ones born after 2010? They're fucked.
I'd take the candy without watching the ad, for the same reason I refuse to use loyalty cards. Both the ads and loyalty cards are worth more to the supermarket than they are to me. They're basically ripping me off while pretending to give me something gratis.

(Actually, in reality I'd ignore the candy since I don't need more sugar.)
It seems you want something like a Fractal Design R5: https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/define-...

That said, be aware that these things are heavy and bulky, as other commenters posted. I used to have one but replaced it with a SFFPC and have been quite happy with the change.
I think the point may have been that shareholders can put pressure and sell off stock and shareholder motivations are probably similar among big tech companies
I guess a year late Google might release sone ad CDN on their domain that embedds third party ads and then you are out of luck. Same as Microsoft already did that with news. They try to embed themselves as gatekeepers here too.
Theoretically it would be possible, but we would just release some carbon from other sources, there's a lot of it in various rocks if fossil fuels somehow expired (we still have a lot of those).

I was about to ask how's the cheap solar charge controller working out then I read that it's not as good.

I had one of these back home to power my hydroponics system, using a 20W solar panel. It worked "well" until there were cloudy days that the charge controller couldn't simply provide enough output to charge the battery. We used a normal car battery for that.

After a few days the battery was dead because it wasn't being charged, so we decided to scrape it and run our hydroponics connected to the grid instead.

If you're feeling adventurous, there is a MPPT chip that you can use for your electronics projects (though the only time I tried it I managed to burn the chip and couldn't find it anywhere in local stores, buying from AliExpress would take months to arrive) is the LT3652, though it's rated for 2A only. I believe you can find bulkier chips for higher PV wattage.

EDIT:
> The number one lesson is to 4x your power needs. 4x your watts and 4x your battery amp hours. Don't cheap out on charge controllers.

I have installed a PV system on my home back in 2019 and the rule of thumb we found out as well is, if you're building a PV system for a house and use inverters, you should also not go cheap on inverters (i.e. go for cheap chinese brands).

We have a Fronius inverter and it works wonders, much better than the other cheap brands and it has a lot of interfaces you can use it to retrieve data from.

Another useful thing, if you buy an inverter rated for, say, 2kWp, you can safely overdesign your system to provide at least 20% (I don't remember the exact percentage) more power than the peak wattage your inverter supports. Reason for this is that because you can't predict clouds and bad weather, having a few extra panels will compensate the performance loss and will make sure you're always running at peak performance. It will also help a lot during off-peak hours. Of course, the extra panels won't magically bring you to peak performance if you have a very cloudy, dark day. But if you have some clouds, you can get a very big performance hit and you can compensate that by having more panels than your inverter is designed for.

So, for example, if the inverter is designed for 2kW, you can build your system to produce 2.4kW.

Another suggestion is to split your arrays in as many strings as your inverter suggests. They will operate like if they were independent systems, so if you have cloud covering one string, bringing its output power down, it won't affect the other string (assuming the cloud is only covering one of the strings). If they were under the same string, any shade on any of the solar panels would severely affect the output of that string.
- CO2 isn't the only greenhouse gas.

- This process produces hydrocarbon fuel. It will be burned and the carbon will return to the atmosphere.

I suppose propane could become a chemical feedstock. Then the carbon could theoretically be tied up for a while.

It's been a topic for quite a while that UK regulations mean pension funds don't invest as much in equities and as a result there's not a huge amount of liquidity available to dump into stocks on the London Stock Exchange. They are working on trying to fix this though (slowly).
> IMO, we need both - people screaming out loud to reduce consumption and rooting for truly green technologies that create a revolution.

Nuclear fusion for energy generation purposes has been promised for, what, 60 years now? Hoping for that to eventually succeed will only lead to one thing: it won't work out and whoops, suddenly humanity is out of options because everyone had refused to change in the hope for a miracle.

It is more sensible to prepare for the worst case now.
In my country the state now confiscates cars of drunk drivers if their BAC is above 0.15%. And they also get criminally prosecuted - having a criminal record can seriously fuck up their lives.

But some people still choose to drive drunk.
Did they? Are they capable to be scaled to 100 MW scales with MTBF of years already?
I remember my Delphi manuals being quite grimy. They were always on hand and I could find something very quickly. It enabled me to get stuff done without any outside help. Windows help files were also good.
Well yeah, Luxembourg is smaller than basically entire US Pacific Coast for sure. Most places are.
> Driving drunk is stupid, dangerous, and should involve serious penalties. We should not ruin people’s lives over it.

After getting caught 3 times doing it? Meaning they do it very frequently and will never stop doing it? It's not an innocent mistake at this point.

Yes driving privileges should absolutely be revoked over it and if that ruins their life maybe they should have thought about the consequences of their actions?
I run an electronic lab at a university — I have the following tips:

- don't cheap out on breadboards unless you plan to manually test every single connection regularily before prototyping

- with some breadboards the (red/blue) power rails are not connected all the way through, but only for half of the board, in doubt always measure. If this is the case with your board, just bridge the rails once and leave them bridged forever.

- if you prototype projects more often get yourself sortiments (e.g. a resistors, film capacitors, ceramic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors). Yes, these sortiments are expensive, but my first private resistor sortiment lasted me for a decade and if you calculate a decade worth of "fuck that part is missing" it is a no-brainer. I literally never regreted getting those.

- if you constantly find yourself using certain connectors build a (heavy) breakout-box for them. Something that doesn't fly off the table easily. Having your breadboard fly of the table because your guitar is connected to it is bullshit.

- there are limits to breadboarding. If you go high voltage, high current and/or high frequency or anything extra sensitive avoid it

- learn how to translate between schematics and breadboards. Nowadays there are many breadboard-illustrations that show you exactly how to connect things. That is neat, but ot is hard to reason about circuits that way, and this will be needed once you deciate from what you find. Most interesting circuits will come as schematics anyways, so learning it is worth it

- if you breadboard complex schematics, print out the schematic and tick off (with a pen) every connection between every pin of every component you make. It is very easy to miss something even for professionals. In the end a circuit is basically just nodes (a single pin of a component) and edges (the connections between them). If you get the topology right, the circuit should work. Exceptions: the schematic is wrong (not uncommon, there is a lot of crap on the internet), the parts are wrong (there is many nuances to each part, beyond their basic value) or the circuit is of a kind that is not suited for breadboarding (see above).

- Sometimes people online claim that X works, but it only works because the part they had lying around had a very specific characteristic that they conceniently failed to mention. It is okay to just give up and move on at some point

- Try to simulate schematics before you breadboard them. Change component values to get a basic intuition for the circuit. I like this one: https://www.falstad.com/circuit/circuitjs.html (it has some limitations, e.g. inverter based relaxation oscillators won't oscillate, but for the most stuff this is fine)

- don't forget to add bypass caps. Just get a sack of ceramic 100nF capacitors and sprinkle them between plus and ground on the power rails next to wherever tou put active components (chips, etc)
Windows NT and all subsequent Windows versions trace their heritage to VMS.

Had it not been so monolithic, almost excluding all other OS’s I think we would celebrate Windows too.

Unix ultimately won mindshare because it was relatively open. Any technical advantage mattered far less at he end of the day.
I disagree that Walmart abuses their market power.

Any supplier is free to bid on a Walmart request. They can walk away if it doesn’t make economic sense to them.

The Vlasic pickle story keeps coming up, but come on, Vlasic is huge, they knew what they were getting into.

If they were stupid enough to agree to lose money on every single jar of pickles, they should re-examine their business strategy.

Google tells me Walmart is 25.5% of all grocery sales. You can have a thriving business with the other 75% if you don’t think you can get a fair deal with Walmart.
