I don’t think anyone is arguing for the oil industry.

Even if nuclear power plant byproducts were re-used at 100%, this would still decidedly not make nuclear energy more resource efficient than solar and wind.

Absolutely. I don’t know that anyone is arguing for coal, except for Trump, but he’s also completely deranged.

Wind and solar have very little externalities, however. I’d even call their externalities trivial.

I don’t know what this has to do with my post at all to be honest

it’s a question if we can wait for grid scale energy storage being viable before we cook ourselves.

Given the average time to build one single nuclear power plant, you should consider whether we have time to finish construction of one before we cook ourselves.

Efficient use of resources still matters in a service-driven model.

The service in this case is to provide electricity - if other alternatives can provide the same system of electricity while using less resources in the process, then it is clearly preferable.

Back in the day there used to be specialized equipment for this purpose called an office, of which you had your own and could close the door to

As far as I know, these workflows typically involve a transcription model to convert the audio to text, and then passing the text to the model.

It adds up for Tuvalu with the .tv TLD. $10m for a country with a GDP of $65m is no joke.

In all honesty I think it’s connected to the housing crisis bleeding into basically every other political issue, because of how damn massive of a problem it is

2.5 miles is thankfully about 15 minutes by bike - less if you’re pushing it or running an ebike

Only outside the TMZ, which is why basically everything in LA is filmed within it.

An interesting little quirk for sure

While the intent is good, as written it would probably have the unintended consequence of making it harder to get a job if you happen to live far away from the workplace, which I don’t think is the way to go

This seems trivially defeatable by having an officer use the camera footage as evidence when they issue a fine. Then there’s an accuser to be confronted in court - the officer

That surely fails the Katz test

It’s never going to come home you wankers

It’s not moving in what I would call my preferred direction, no. At the same time, I understand the kinds of pressure that Google are under from various governments - likely why this is being rolled out in specific countries to start with - and the need to introduce some amount of friction to shut down the kind of attacks where the victim is being persuaded to install an app from an external source, which are completely eliminated under the new scheme.

Am I necessarily happy with it? No. Are the methods around it sufficiently flexible that I will be able to live with it? Yes. I have no trouble installing anything through adb, and the first thing I will do after the change rolls out is to disable it, meaning that after 24 hours, I am essentially back to the current state of affairs.

I mean, if we’re talking theoreticals, they could turn off the ability to install any apps outside of the Play Store if they decided to. They could even turn off the ability to install any apps at all, from any source.

There’s no reason to believe that any of those things are going to happen, though, nor is there any reason to believe that the theoretical you posed is going to happen.

This does require you to have a boat though.

You can take public transport boats and visit some of the larger islands, of course. Another valid option is to rent a kayak and paddle around. Lots of fun to be had that way.

I’ve been to a few of these (Skäckerfjällen/Kolåsen).

It’s a different kind of tourism for sure. Not exactly the kind of thing to draw the Instagram crowds

Awnings and ceiling fans are in vogue again. We’re back in the 1920s!

Jokes aside, this is good. We should learn from the past and make use of these energy efficient cooling solutions, and not do what the Americans do with just blasting AC blindly at the problem
