I doubt society will go fully paperless, there are times when you need a thing that can be crushed, folded, whatever and doesn’t run out of battery, so unless e-ink technology develops in a very specific way I don’t think every eventually will be replaced, and even without purely functional applications I think art would never ever go fully paperless for many data security (leaking art before it’s complete), economic (things are more expensive when they’re limited in supply, and making either legal or illegal copies of digital things is so much easier) and sentimental reasons (it’s just nicer to have something physical) reasons

you can change the relative size of things with zoom

The UK’s average energy price is high, but it’s also very variable as when it’s cloudy and calm 20% of demand needs to be imported from France/Norway so wholesale energy is very expensive, but when it’s sunny and windy wholesale energy is free or even at negative cost and 20% of generation gets exported to France/Norway, where their energy is more expensive

If you have the option to run datacentres at minimal or even negative energy cost maybe 20% of the time, then shift load elsewhere the rest of the time, then that may be a reasonable proposition

And yet (at least from an outsider perspective) libertarians are closer to democrats than republicans

Republicans seem all about telling you what you can and can’t do (can’t get hrt, can’t get an abortion, can’t smoke weed, must marry and have children etc.) whereas both democrats and libertarians are largely “just live your life” but that could just be because all the american parties seem so financially right wing that they’re basically the same in that respect

pure water at mean atmosphere pressure at sea level if we’re getting technical, but frankly human body temperature varies from 35.5C (95.9F) to 37.5C (99.5F) anyway, and that’s before considering when people are ill, so if we go down that route it falls apart quickly enough that the definition of 100 given above is clearly just as arbitrary

How is 0F 100% cold though, most places will never get that cold, so it surely makes more sense to have 0F at freezing point of water and 100F at 38C?

Are they identical objects?

Storage forensics can look into variations in charge to suggest “this used to be a 1” or “this used to be a 0”

To store more data that way, it’d have to be analog data in reality, as otherwise data loss due to charge decay would be immense so you’d need so much error checking you’d lose most of the storage savings

The reason they have to manipulate the audience is because people look for validation and so feel good when other people react to things in the same way as them. If another equally funny show has a laugh track and you don’t, yours will likely be less enjoyable to watch unless it’s a specific form of humour which benefits from not having a laugh track.

Basically a laugh track can’t save a terrible show, but it can manipulate people into finding a mediocre show more enjoyable to watch, but a mediocre show will make people laugh organically at least a few times anyway.

Not even that, it’s more than likely some PM said “we want to open the camera and be ready to record when someone goes on the story tab”, then it gets implemented as needing permissions first and not considering that some people wouldn’t want to give the permissions and only upload from camera roll

As a follow up, to get a third (and more) term would it be possible to run for vp and have a contract with someone who agrees to run for president then resign immediately after inauguration, or is there a law against that?

more science facts, if you were to put earth as close as you could to saturn without them destroying each other, they would orbit each other as a binary planet rather than earth being a satellite of saturn

essentially there’s no way for earth to stably orbit saturn as it’d have to be so close it’d be ripped apart

Outside of Continental Europe

Oddly specific when of the 10 countries judged to have the equal best tap water quality, 4 are European islands (UK, Ireland, Iceland, Malta) and many Continental European countries score behind the US:

They didn’t want France getting wind of their cheese and declaring war on Norway for having the audacity to have non-french cheese

Or just bring an empty bottle through and fill it up at the tap/water fountain?

I mean sure, but it theoretically stops people arguing and threatening to try and bring stuff they shouldn’t really be bringing through, as being able to point at that will end a lot of arguments… Equally though, it makes a lot of sense as otherwise you’d have “ah yes this bomb isn’t banned because I’ve switched out a molecule in the explosive for an analogue”

Liberalism is just letting people do what they want so long as it doesn’t interfere with letting people doing what they want

Support gay marriage? That’s liberal.

Support corporations paying people 30¢ per hour for 18h workdays? That’s liberal.

Support people having access to HRT and abortions? That’s liberal.

Support people owning guns? That’s liberal.

Support unrestricted immigration and trade? That’s liberal.

The problem is it doesn’t fit in with the US definition of “left” and “right” - it’s economically far right but socially far left, and most Americans just cannot understand that

what like “Tommy Robinson, Whose Real Name Is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon”, where you have to use the full name at all times

I’d love to see Bing or Qwant or Yandex (to be honest ideally Bing as they share their index) get a similar deal for StackOverflow or Github just to give Google a taste of their own medicine now

If you’re in the UK or I expect EU, I imagine if it’s due to oxidation you can get it replaced even on an expired warranty as it’s a defect which was known to either you or intel before the warranty expired, and a manufacturing defect rather than breaking from use, so intel are pretty much in a corner about having sold you faulty shit
