And the country should fix this just like during electrification and running phone lines to everywhere.
In the US we paid for internet to be run everywhere (like we did for electricity and phone lines), then the phone companies just didn’t do it. Neither congress nor FTC followed through with any consequences for companies not doing this. So here we are in the US.
Over a long enough term it will be worth it.
But as a said elsewhere neither electricity nor phone being run to rural US homes was cost effective for companies. So the US decided that was shit and paid for it to get done. Started to do the same for internet access. Phone companies refused, used the money for other purposes, inflated prices faster the inflation, etc. and yet neither FTC nor congress held them accountable. Other countries have done the same thing for power and phone, there is nothing fundamentally different about physical internet access stopping anyone from doing the same thing.
Neither was running phone lines or electricity in the rural US, but we did it anyway because it was better for the country.
with an aspect ratio of 20:1 across the entire dash.
We’re talking about Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory doing the simulation here. That is not a small research facility.
Seems to be exactly the opposite of what you describe. Actual experiment shows promise, then large lab runs simulation.
LBNL did not replicate, they simulated the material and found it promising. The lattice of the materials need some sort of substitution to happen in an less likely way, someone with knowledge will have to summarize better.
Or just not being careful with storage. Like I don’t know, keeping only one copy in one location with early films were made highly flammable materials.
Not everyone is going to understand they need another drive. It just stinks.
It likely will encourage more people to sail the high seas.
This is problematic. Australia and New Zealand are in Region 4, I suspect this is killing all of region 4 (Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean). This means they cannot watch at the highest quality, none of the streaming services are as good as a local blu-ray or local Plex/Jellyfin/Emby. Also problematic for preservation, especially given services removing content so it is no longer available at all.
If I could buy unencumbered digital files for my local server, I wouldn’t have that much problem with discontinuing physical releases. Instead best case I can get it a digital “copy” that is tied to a specific service (movies anywhere, google play, apple, etc.). Which content has also been removed from, even though you bought it. I’ve been buying DRM free music for around a decade and things have been fine. I would have to think really hard of the last time I bought a CD, as I’ve been buying flac encoded audio exclusively for a few years now (bandcamp.com, us.7digital.com, prostudiomasters.com, hdtracks.com). I’d really like to do the same for movies and series, including extras.
This helps other vaccines, like maybe one against lone star tick AGS (causes allergy to red meat)
Lyme disease can be terrible. Any lessening of human suffering is worthwhile, and poor outcomes are not just fatalities. You can get treatment and still be sick with fatigue, pain, and difficulty thinking for more than 6 months. Not referring to controversial chronic Lyme disease, just CDC’s own statement. https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/postlds/index.html#:~:text=Although most cases of Lyme,months after they finish treatment.
9 degree drop would be disruptive and happen in less than a century.
Even if the modem needs more validation we should not wait to act.
This sounds like an old X11 thin client would infringe this patent, which came out in the 80’s. Chromecast and cloud gaming derive from that, being more of a refinement than an invention.
It is destructive to the environment.
The real question is if it is worth the damage to the environment for the lithium? That lithium will make it possible to make more batteries for less money, which then less fossil fuels and more renewables can be used over the entire life of the battery. Further if we start recycling lithium batteries completely, then it is the improvement across the lives of all the batteries made from that lithium minus any damage to the environment caused be recycle each generation of batteries.
For Maine they probably will not see enough of an improvements directly. For the US we might see enough improvements elsewhere to make it worthwhile. For the world we probably would be a net gain of environmental improvement.
The longer the timeframe the lithium can be used to lessen climate change impacts (batteries for cars and renewables) the more likely even Maine would see a net positive versus the damage of mining the lithium to begin with. But that is very hard to quantify and even harder to predict the future (new battery tech might displace current lithium batteries).
Mac OS X is based on some really good design, portability, security, and development environment. BUT some of the direction Apple has been taking for the last decade+ has made the platform less open and a lot less appealing to me (and others in my family).
I give them credit for vision that matches what some people want, and providing and experience that just works within that vision, but that vision doesn’t match what I want (or even need) from of desktop anymore.
Culture provides a shared experience making it easier to communicate with each other. Importantly it also provides a way for society to discuss and think about ideas as a group. That culture includes books, films, TV shows, songs, video games, oral storytelling, folk songs, etc. Each bit of culture builds upon what came before, and what is happening at the same time. The record of culture is forever imperfect, but that becomes more of a problem when parts of culture are lost for the future to be able to look at it. That loss makes it progressively harder for us to look to the past and actually understand it, besides making it harder to communicate with each other. Lack of the reference and understanding can help to perpetuate stereotypes, misunderstandings, injustice, or even actively damage stability of a society. While we are resilient, why would we want to make it harder and lose the knowledge of how we got here?
This article is arguable about forgetting a bit of history which has helped to perpetuate racism. Be aware this is about a “virulently racist song”, if that is a problem or trigger you probably shouldn’t read any further. Just know the roots of the ice cream truck song in the US at least is horrible and we should not use it. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/05/11/310708342/recall-that-ice-cream-truck-song-we-have-unpleasant-news-for-you
A lot of old films were lost in studio fires, or simply not putting in the effort to preserve. The software industry, and games in particular, have not learned from this at all.
Yes it will. Just like doing the exact same thing for power and phone lines to every single place in the entire US ran prices up. Difference is we paid for it and enforced companies do to it. For internet access we just paid for it and then never made them provide the internet access to everyone everywhere.
