I've done basically this in the past by encrypting a text file with GPG. But a real password manager will integrate with your browser and helps prevent getting phished by verifying the domain before entering a password. It also syncs across all my devices, which my GPG file only worked well on my desktop.
Fuck farming. It’s a dirty industry.
That's kind of a wild takeaway... Personally I like not having to grow my own food. And a huge amount of efficiency is gained with large scale farming compared to small farms or personal growing.
Unsustainable subsidies aren't okay, and we should strive for more environmentally friendly farms, but farming itself is not one of our problems.
Unfortunately the answer to that is: Elon's cheap and Radar is expensive. Not so expensive that you can't get it in a base model Civic though, which just makes it that much more absurd.
I'm not arguing against charging based on bandwidth speeds. You're right the total data transfered doesn't really make a difference.
My point is that even just charging per Mbps, internet will always be cheaper within a data center. Just like water utility service is going to be cheaper next to a freshwater river than in the middle of the desert. There's millions of dollars in equipment you're effectively renting to get the internet to your house from the nearest datacenter. Your OVH server in comparison only needs maybe 1 extra network switch installed to get it online, and you're in a WAY bigger pool of customers to split the cost of service to the building.
Fines and taxes are incentives. Companies will do whatever's cheapest, so you can make the good thing cheaper, or the bad thing more expensive. Both will have a similar effect, it's just a question of where the margins are.
If a company is selling something at-cost and gets taxed, then they'll have to raise prices for the consumer, but if they're getting a stimulus from the government it gets covered by tax payers. Which one ends up being the right choice depends on the product and company in question.
I think the strawberry problem is to ask it how many R's are in strawberry. Current AI gets it wrong almost every time.
They've probably just got a spy satellite around earth that transmits back. Or maybe an extremely directional antenna / receiver dish would work, since they're focused on Earth specifically.
The first computers took up entire rooms and they could only do about as much as a calculator. There was a point in time that having a computer do multiplication and long division for you saved you hours of time because the alternative was have 2 or 3 people do it by hand and then compare to check for mistakes.
Some of the code cracking computers used for breaking war-time ciphers were state of the art, and their only job was to check as many combinations as possible, way faster than any human could. Which left the actual scientists to find optimizations and analyze any results.
Yes, there's issues with playing DRM content on linux. Only certain browsers support the encryption decoding extension.
Since most of my viewing is on YouTube and media I have saved on Plex, it's not really an issue.
It's an extension that makes GitHub pages full width: https://github.com/xthexder/wide-github/
Admittedly the usefulness has gone down a little bit in the last couple years now that GitHub themselves have made code diffs and some other things full width by default.
When I first wrote this I had just gotten a giant 4K display at work and was really annoyed I still had to scroll left and right with the page only covering 1/3 of the screen.
I was on a road trip through the prairies and had to stop on the side of the road to watch the northern lights. The entire sky in all directions was lit up. I was able to take this shot with the big dipper visible.

If you look at how Gorillas kind of walk around on their fists, it definitely makes sense that there's some evolutionary benefit to the knuckle shape. It doesn't have to be related to hitting things either. It's easiest to support yourself with a straight wrist, like if you're holding a branch, vs putting your palm flat is a lot more stress on your wrist.
