Agree. She fucked up. She made a promise she did not want to honor and didn’t have to maturity to do anything other than getting so drunk she wouldn’t care

That’s right. We theorized the effects shortly after the first coal power plant, and we have observed the effects for a century now. Yet the response has been minimal, to say the least

That’s why I’m saying that a single invention that changed the world is not something you can easily find anymore.

We are in a time where a single invention can rarelt be great. For technological development you need thousands of small inventions, each that use previous technological breakthrough through decades of research. And even great things we have, are just refinement and miniaturization of things we already had.

But if a single thing had to be said, I would say mRNA vaccines. Covid vaccines saved milions of lives, were developed in record times, and their technology could be used for HIV or even antitumoral vaccines.

Everything marketed audiophiles, not only gold plated cables, but also anything that uses vacuum tubes because “they sound better”

If developers optimized their apps, we could have phones that are 10x faster than 10 yeara ago. Instead they are the same speed and the same amount of apps fit in the bigger storage, because developers are lazy and use heavy, unoptimized technologies that use 10x the resources

May be, but I don’t think apps use it. Afaik Teams, Discord and such are all epectron apps, yet they have not much in term of dependencies and large install sizes, so they must ship with their own versions.

What works for me is: lay down and relax, close your eyes, but try to not fall asleep, think about stuff you did, about stuff you want to do, whatever, just don’t fall asleep. If you manage to maintain a good balance between not relaxing too much and not stressing too much (that’s the tricky part), you’ll stay in a semi-awake state. Rest like this for 20-30 minutes and you should feel better

Added sugar is bad because we don’t need all the sugar we tipically consume.

Eating fruits is healthier because you eat other nutrients (such as vitamins) and fibers that fill you faster make you eat less (while providing other benefits to your gastrointestinal system). A pure friot juice is more filling, contains more nutrients and less calories than sugary water with fruit additives and colorants, because as other said pure sugar is pure energy but doesn’t have nutrients, only calories. If you consume very little it’s the same (only as in calories) as eating a larger amount of fruits, but the little part is the problem usually.

Eating too much fruit is also unhealthy, and can still be diabetic, it’s just much harder, more expensive and less convenient to consume unhralthy amounts of food rather than sugar.

I never undertand the more granular, the scale is in 180 because that’s the most precision they could use to manufacture scientific thermometers, nowadays it’s completely irrelevant. Celsius thermometers have a granularity of 0.1°C and that is useful soley when you want to differentiate between “almost a slight fever” and “maybe a slight fever”. Do you find yourself needing to differentiate between 45 °F and 46 °F?

Unless you have some kind of color blindness, orange is among the most noticeable colors to the human eyes, especially in an urban background

Some professors kept the online exams for convenience (theirs and for the students depending on the type of exam), but did in presence in a university class, they dropped the recording but kept the lockdown environment so you cannot cheat even with your laptop

Depending on your definition of software, 100% is already achieved. UEFI is hardly considerable software as it’s highly integrated to the hardware and an open firmware requires open hardware. Of course that depends on your definition of software, which is definitely not universally agreed upon.

If that is the case, considering boot loader, kernel, applications and drivers, a 100% open source software is easily avhievable with any linux system and with other *nix, wich however I don’t know much about.

100% open sourcewould be impossible. You can probably use freecad and kicad to make the various pieces, but the moment you need to manufacture your open source design (like RISC-V) on silicon, there’s no way to avoid using proprietary cad software. There are like at most 3 softwares that can do that, all and are incredibly complicated and expensive

Fritz Haber, the Veritasium video about him is fascinating (The Man who Killed Milioms and Saved Bilions). He developed the chemical process to efficiently synthesize ammonia, one of the key discoveries that allowed mass adoption of fertilizers and the incredibly rapid growth of the human population in the 20th century (you could say that thanks to him, bilions of people could live and be fed by modern agriculture).

Tragically, he also had a fundamental role in developing chemical weapons during WWI, although he belived their use would reduce the number of deaths as army would simply avoid gassed zones, so who knows if he really intended and believed in the milions of deaths he caused. Ironically, he also helped developing Zyklon B during the rise of nazism (while it was still used as a pesticide), but was quickly forced to flee from Germany because of jewish origin. Later, his last invention would be used to kill even more people.

On the other hand Organic Maps has less features, which means a much simpler interface and much better performance

If you demand proof to state they do, you should provide proof when stating they don’t. It’s not like Apple is the most trustworthy company in the world. With big tech it’s always reasonable (definitely not certain) to assume they could be spying on your activity, and unless you are able to download your software source code, check it and compile it yourself, it’s almost impossible to tell.

It’s more mindly infuriating that the title, description and everything are in english, but the letters are not

It only makes sense they did if the origianl price was higher, which is quite weird unless they specifically don’t want people to buy more than 1
