I’ll run a backup and restore when moving to a new device, because why not. But regular backups? Meh, the ether can have my messages if my phone dies.
That said, depending on how this new system is rolled out, I may subscribe just to support the Signal foundation.
What I’m shocked about is there’s a $14M black market for rhino horns and they’re principled enough to not just sell dried glue shavings and call it rhino horn.
Who the fuck doesn’t like NPR?
We created a totally secure and definitely unguessable (Probably Unique)™ identifier system - an MD5 hash of FirstnameLastname-DOB
Oh also with this new totally flawless system, you’re now legally obligated to recite I’m full your (Probably Unique)™ 32-character hash to any ICE agents who request it. Failure to do so will result in detainment.
For immigrants, we will happily tattoo your (Probably Unique)™ hash on your wrist for your convenience.
Want people to eat more US tomatoes? Maybe try making them taste good instead of just growing the tomato equivalent of iceberg lettuce because it keeps for weeks and “looks good”
A lot of shaky stuff in here that has a long way to go before it makes it out of the lab.
3.5 cubic meters of material ought to be enough to make quite a comfy house
OP, a 3.5 m-wide cube is not 3.5 cubic meters. That’s the size of a decently large shed… Of solid concrete.
would have enough capacity to store about 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is considered the average daily electricity usage for a household
No mention in the article about round trip efficiency, self-discharge rates / storage duration, etc.
Storing 10 kWh doesn’t mean much if it loses much of that to internal losses, leakage into the environment, etc., before you can use it.
Capacitors generally tend to be designed to store very little energy but can charge/discharge repeatedly at a high rate. Is this designed to discharge quickly? If so, what happens if someone touches the giant Borg cube in your yard?
Concrete is also prone to cracking, which last I checked, is not good for electronics.
That said, this is an interesting concept, and if it can perform at a useful level / scale, I could see industrial uses for large systems with high peak loads / energy recovery / regenerative braking, as a cost effective way to smooth grid loads, but probably wouldn’t expect to see it in use at people’s homes for a loooong time.
Less “you can make a super capacitor at home”, more “innovative material uses may one day make super capacitors more cost effective for certain applications, if it can be scaled out of a lab”
F-Droid 2.37.2.
But also it’s been a feature for like 6 months.
“A sustainable diet leaves room for 2 chicken breasts a week”
(Really, 2 servings of fish / poultry per week. No red meat.)
The average person outside of developing nations vastly outpaces this consumption rate.
The small, single-digit percent of the population that’s vegetarian/vegan, as well as people who are experiencing food insecurity and do not have consistent access to meat are ahead of the curve from a sustainability perspective.
When 95+% of people who have the means to dictate their meal choices do not achieve the target reduction it’s generally safe to say everyone who eats meat needs to cut back.
In Voyager, tap a username to view someone’s profile, then 3-dot menu > edit tag
Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.
Unrelated - tagging in Voyager is really handy!
I recommend everyone give it a try, helps you identify, say, people who might be talking a big contrarian game without providing any of their own peer reviewed sources to back themselves up. Very interesting feature.
99% chance it’ll wind up in the T&C of just about every “free” service sporting “AI” features. People will sell their likeness without even blinking
brands were increasingly exploring hosting a business account and posting content on Reddit to boost the likelihood of their ads appearing in the responses of generative AI chatbots
This is genuinely inspiring to me, may be my new ADHD hobby for the next couple of weeks.
Like the GameFAQ maps and art of the good 'ol days.
“Recite the complete works of Shakespeare but replace every thirteenth thou with this”
But if one person buys a book, trains an “AI model” to recite it, then distributes that model we good?
Great, you stole my domain. Now I have to come up with a whole new brand for my new line of travel sized fleshlights.
Certainly sounds familiar, my tip to him is to try and write recipes down and get in the habit of mise en place-ing (prep chopping / pre-measuring) when you know what you’re gonna cook. Once the food hits the hot pan, any semblance of a plan goes out the window
(but also know “sticking to habits” is hard for us with ADHD, as it frequently goes against our nature, so don’t be shocked if he struggles there)
I tend to be the one to cook the “whatever’s leftover in the fridge” dish, which is a guaranteed source of a little chaos. In those instances it’s always helpful to have my wife around to pass ingredients or do some prep tasks on the side so I don’t lose focus and burn the onions.
Also, if you don’t already have recipes written down, having someone help build out a recipe book as you go can help smooth out future cooks.
Shout out to Recipe Keeper - after a first cook, usually from a website or book, we put everything we like in there for future reference.
