Got a link to a “pirate on Usenet for dummies”?

Once again “general populace” means “people in the United States”.

The rest of us are still in the Paris agreement, and where I’m at one of the most heated political arguments is about emissions from agriculture.

Company that sells random collections of words: People are increasingly asking for random collections of words instead of money!

Good thing they’re so trustworthy then…

Me too. Are we sure there even is a B in this A/B test?

Why do you think it says ESP on the front? Seriously…

Some back of the envelope: An ideal black-body at 100 C will radiate something like a kW pr m2, give or take. So one h100 at 700W(?) would probably need a reflector of around one m2. Very rough but it’s probably within an order of magnitude so it’s not impossible, but just adds to the engineering and logistics challenges.

And also, that’s a pretty big if!

Ding ding ding!

Bingo. Yet another example of an age effect being attributed to a generational difference. I’m so tired of these horoscope-like characterizations of people

An LED is, anyway

“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”

Birds also only eat spiders they see. Not sure how that’s any different

It does not say that. It literally said that a new version is available and asks if you want to download it

So it’s just pronounced “nat-han” then?

But still… Hydroflouric acid is not something you just happen to come by on a bender. I would assume that if you had access to it you had some idea about what not to do with it - cocaine and fetishes notwithstanding

Jeez, I was sure this was AI, but sure enough it’s on pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8420252/

Two questions:

1. Is this for real?
2. Does it work?

I feel like a large company going to that kind of effort to explicitly tell me to not spend money on something would have the exact opposite effect. It’s not like they’re saying “unions are bad, actually” it just like “this thing you were going to spend money on, maybe don’t?”

Imagine a poster saying “Drugs are really expensive - you’ll get more value for money if you buy videogames” - would that work?
