I don't care any more. It's not like the world could be more fucked. Wooly mammoths, I'm here for it.
Seriously though, between climate change's heating, the tornadoes and the wildfires a lot of species are toast. And if we want to bring carbon back under control at this point (with the sea now releasing it instead of containing it), we'll need some kind of genetically engineered plants. So, given all these things, there's no reason to say no to mammoths, bring it.
I think it's much more likely that it just shows that climate change is important and the government has been mismanaging the situation so they want to save face by burying it.
Personally I do want politicians to be earning enough that it stops being super easy to bribe them. If that means giving them a few million a year that's fine, because it's pocket change compared to the cost savings in terms of corruption.
The Democrats should sue over this, you can't have a judge screaming "coup" every time they get outvoted. I'm sure a room full of judges can figure out what kind of law this is breaking, almost certainly there's some kind of "incitement" law on the books.
He tried to rally his followers before and got like 5 people showing up. That ship has sailed, he's not an unassailable lord and it harms Democracy to pretend he is.
If it works then it doesn't matter how many feathers it ruffles. I had the perpetual motion thought as well, but if it works, it works.
This is genuinely incredible though. Because it means you can cool things even when there's nowhere to dump the heat into, for example, space.
EDIT: Though in space you lose heat as infra-red, but only in limited amounts. Scaled up this technology would allow far better control letting you run more powerful equipment while also improving efficiency.
The internet really is unusable without some way to block user/sites/etc.. That's Kagi's single greatest feature.
For management ports, I set up a firewall on the VPS to only respond to connections from known IPs.
I might agree with you if the boards themselves were disposable. If a high end macbook were $300 then sure, just get a new one. But they're $2000 or more just for an "ok" model. At that price they should be repairable.
I think people's anger stems from the fact that it wouldn't be hard for laptops to be repairable and in fact Apple's putting in additional roadblocks over time to make repairing harder. At the very least, having broken components be removable would do a lot for hardware lifespan.
I doubt the difference in performance is that significant. If it was 50% faster then sure. But odds are it's something like 3% speed difference. Same for the storage, I doubt that apple's proprietary interface is that much faster than a regular high quality nvme, definitely not enough to justify the multiple that they're charging for it compared to an off-the-shelf nvme.
There's a load of things I could say, but they would all be pointless, so I'm going to say this. It would be less depressing if you were actually being paid by the Russians.
EDIT: Which, you know, is not actually out of the question.
