Be the change you wish to see in the world.

A cheap harbor freight reciprocating saw with a good blade is all you need.

I played Deus Ex, taught me all I need to know about advanced AI agents and data centers.

No, radio is light. They’re all light waves from gamma rays to radio waves. Not visible light, but light nevertheless.

Wi-Fi is already using light to transmit digital data. Shit, radio was transmitting data using binary with Morse code in 1895, also using light waves. Radio requires no direct connection, pairing, account, or apps.

Much like health insurance CEOs getting waxed, destroying flock cameras seems to be one thing almost everyone agrees on.

Android Auto, I assume.

I’ve been saying this for a while, but it’s still relevant. You need to view US politics under the lens of professional wrestling.

Of course they print this, and of course you’re going to hate it. That’s the entire point. These absurd people saying hateful things are the heels, you’re supposed to hate them. It also makes you like the faces even though they’re lackluster. Posting articles like these online in some sense of (lazy) advocacy or “staying informed” simply reinforces the worldview they’re pushing. It’s all propaganda.

“Expensive and exclusive” is part of the brand.

That’s why the MacBook Neo is putting up numbers, because it’s expensive and exclusive. /s

IME Apple phones often end up cheaper over the life of the device because they get updates for 5+ years. Not everyone needs a Pro with maxed out specs. They’re hardly exclusive, either; have you seen how common they are? Every other person in the states has an iPhone. They’re often giving them away with cell phone plans. Getting a previous gen iPhone is probably one of the best values because it’s still fast and will be supported for years to come, but it’s significantly discounted.

Taking up space, without a reason.

Compatibility is the reason.

Everything is virus: one of the theories of how cells went from RNA to DNA is viruses.

Forterre (2006) proposed that early cellular lineages diversified while still harboring RNA genomes, with viruses and cells coexisting from the beginning. In his model, the first fixation of DNA occurred in viruses, which subsequently transferred the enzymes necessary for DNA synthesis and maintenance into independent cellular lineages. Thus, RNA genomes in ancestral cells were converted into DNA genomes via viral intermediates (Forterre, 2002, 2006). The structural and functional differences among cellular replication systems would then reflect the independent viral origins of DNA replication machinery.

This is neat but also stupid. If a laser has enough power to fry a mosquito, it can also fry your retina.

Yes, I’m aware he added a safety system. That’s one layer of Swiss cheese in the safety system. It’ll work flawlessly until it doesn’t. How are potential reflections handled?

Most all pensions or 401Ks are using index funds of some sort. Nearly everyone is affected by this.

I don’t know enough about planets and atmospheres to say for sure, but I reckon adding gas would increase the volume of our atmosphere to some extent.

It’s absorption and re-emission of IR. Instead of IR leaving our planet, some gets redirected back at the surface by CO2.

The concentration matters, not the absolute amount. Spectroscopy confirms this. 1g of CO2 will reflect IR much differently if it’s in 1mL or 1L of volume.

It will dilute it and reduce the effect, sorta like reducing the reflectivity of a mirror.

You’d just need metal for this.

What is the ideal amount of biomass for humans? Same question for agricultural land. What’s the ideal amount? I’m torn between thinking this is just how things go or maybe I’m just terribly ignorant. At some point the majority of biomass was dinosaurs or something, so what? That’s the ebb and flow of life. It wasn’t the biomass of dinosaurs that caused their extinction. How do these biomass stats indicate overpopulation?

I can’t disagree with the industrial farming and overall ecosystem points you raise but the biomass bits seem awfully arbitrary.

I’d also say feeding 50% of the world’s population for 2% of the world’s energy seems pretty damn efficient.
