President Trump announced his intention to ensure that all future bitcoin production would take place within the United States, should he be re-elected.

There's several different types of miles: nautical, statute, scandinavian, irish, etc. Which makes using the imperial system all the more stupid.

Tharg here. It's a compiler, not a transpiler.

And it tries to paint it as bad for the environment in this paragraph:

But the mining, milling, and production of nuclear fuel, as well as the construction and decommissioning of nuclear plants, emit greenhouse gases at levels ranging from 10 to 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of power — lower than fossil fuels but higher than wind and hydroelectricity (and roughly on par with solar).

So... It's good then?

Not really, relativity plays no role here. It's classical Newtonian physics.

There's very few people on the internet who I trust enough to give them complete control of my browser. Randall is definitely one of them, probably the top one.

Yeah, that middle row works incredibly well on its own, but he needed to add some geek angle or it wouldn't be xkcd. :)

Reminds me of the time this lady came in carrying the PC and the CRT monitor saying it didn't work, I plugged it in, turned it on, the tower did all the right noises and lights, but the screen was black. I thought for a second, then reached for the brightness control and voila, there it was. The embarrassment of the poor lady!

My wife and I watched it and enjoyed the first few episodes, but then it took a turn and became just stupid. My wife was the first to call it, I agreed and we stopped watching it.

No, because it's an extraordinary claim.

During my relatively long life I've witnessed journalism morph from giving information to forming opinion. Sometimes they do it openly, sometimes they try to pass it as the context you mention.

I believe context is necessary now because of how fragmented people's attention is. We used to have 5 tv channels and two main newspapers and that was it. It was easier to keep the focus and remember the context back then.

Or, rather, we were all inside the same information bubble. Now everyone is in their own bubble, and there's no more common understanding of reality.

This conflict makes it super clear, because of its complexity and long history, that people don't have the time or bandwidth to understand the whole thing and end up repeating what they hear inside their bubble.

For example: your opinion is largely influenced by your location and your own history, much more than by the facts of the conflict. I come from Argentina, where most people support Israel, and I live in Ireland, where most people support the Palestinians. There's understandable reasons for that. Argentina suffered two Islamic terrorist attacks against local Jewish institutions, while Irish people identify with Palestinians because of the British oppression.

I personally live in my own bubble of course, we all do. I know my opinion is heavily influenced by my own history.

As a consequence I end up getting involved in online discussions where I argue for nuance and against simplification, but that just puts me on the "wrong side" of both "sides". So for my own mental health I've been trying to stop participating. I only wanted to chime in here because your comment seemed to capture some of what I think.

Surprisingly, many Irish don't know how to swim, even though it's an island.

Holy shit, the entitlement of some comments here. As if they paid for your service and you let them down and caused them damages.

Thanks op for your contribution.

Pixel phones don't have this app. It's not Google adding it to the OS.

I believe many of the display issues were fixed with the M2. And you don't need brew to install a window manager, although the fact that brew lets you treat it like a linux box is great.

The system configuration is more about what you're used to than anything else. I haven't used Windows in a couple of decades, and I absolutely hate it. Can't even think of going back. The modern version looks like a tablet OS trying to pass as a desktop OS. Give me a Windows machine and the first thing I'll do is wipe it clean and install Ubuntu. But I'm also sure Windows is great for you. So it's what we're used to. Nothing wrong with it.
