Re:Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews' on Friday October 30, 2026 @04:48PM (#50309949)
Did an interview for them. They sent me a 3 page IQ-like test ("how much triangles are inside this triangle"-type of thing).

Re:The owner of ip4.me/ip6.me, Kevin Loch, passed away on Tuesday March 04, 2025 @11:17AM (#43256672)
RIP Kevin. Used these sites a lot!

I hope they give then to a charity/charitable person. I proposed to continue the service ad free, for free to them. Hopefully they accept my proposal. It would be such a shame for the service to become "enshittified" by some greedy company

I'm sorry, but I don't believe one bit of your story.

Ohm's law dictates that it's be impossible for your HV generator (neon transformer) to outpout a HV voltage when connected to the grid (you'd need thousands of kWs).

Just impossible

I find comfort in the fact you're not a diplomat... I hope
New (>2005) AC/DC converters (switching PSU), have such a high efficiency than I would think it's not worth the hassle

And for the sake of it, make a website collecting all the lives saved thanks to it (I'm thinking of the Netherlands schoolboy who'd had been crushed by the truck without it)
Re:Why people confess to crimes they didn’t commit on Sunday June 16, 2019 @12:36PM (#20196363)
I'm not sure I prefer to have more true confessions of that implies more wrong confessions (even if one might outweigh the other)..
You can easily calibrate co2 , 02 and n2 sensors by going outside in a "wild/nature" place
That's exactly why: because you cannot (yet) discern nonsense from something you don't agree on
