It's a last-mile thing. Artificially boosts the download numbers which most customers look at.

Man, the green knight was a weird movie, but gorgeous.

US Car regulations are wild...

I have some sympathy for their customers... security isn't obvious. If the crypto is gone its gone. It's not like a data leak or something.

There's a number of them. Some have tanked, many have been hacked and robbed.

5 Jahre werden da nicht reichen.

And then they recommend using Godot for serious projects on their own website

Wenn die von Sachsen als Mitteldeutschland reden ist Ostdeutschland im heutigen Polen aus deren Sicht.

Sowas gab's doch früher schon mal, oder? Normierte Gewichte für Tafeln Schokolade sind noch nicht so lang her. Und diese ganzen Gattungsbezeichnungen wie "Sahne-Kalbsleberwurst extra" sind ja mit Qualitätsmerkmalen eingetragen. Was mir aufstößt ist ein Wildwuchs an Fantasienamen für Produkte. Die heißt halt dann "die sahnige" und untergräbt das alles.

Vergleichbare Handelsklassen in Normgrößen klingt glaube ich einigen zu sehr nach Planwirtschaft.

SIM card removal, antenna destruction, etc. Will only help us until they play the insurance card. Can't afford shooting down the road in two tons of steel without insurance.

Turns out excel is just a really popular GUI toolkit

So you're going to have towns full of retired old people? Maybe also include their caretakers and maybe service workers supplying everything the caretakers need. Oh, and schools for the caretakers children. And teachers, obviously. And maybe some industry for the caretakers spouses to work at.

Retirees aren't going to keep towns alive. They're just usually among the last to leave.

It's not as easy as absorbing people into rural towns and I suspect you know that.

So does the stellarator. What's the argument here?

Nah, not impossible people build stellarator type Fusion reactors with large freeform metal parts in that tolerance region that are exposed to liquid helium.

Sounds fantastic. Is there an organization for such groups? I've never heard of them before.

Maybe apart from masonic lodges...

I suspect that most people don't subscribe to Spotify to listen to white noise but other music. So they might not lose a lot of revenue because white noise is not their core value proposition.

Only of those people subscribed to Spotify to listen to white noise. I suspect it's a side effect...

Yes, but a binary gate reacts to a change in inputs exactly once by adjusting its own state. If the inputs change faster the frequency will change of course, but that's not the point. Neurons will fire pulse trains with different rates for two different inputs that a binary system would both interpret as "on". It's a much more analog and continuous system in that regard.

That's just plainly wrong. If neurons are "activated" (the binary analogy) it starts firing, but at varying rates depending on how far above it's threshold the activation happened. A bit like an activation level to frequency converter, but non-linear.
