That tweet from NPRPublicEditor has probably something to do with this: https://x.com/NPRpubliceditor/status/1319281101223940096
I see now, there should be a redirected to a new URL, but it only works as a logged in user. I'll have to check that out... Next year.
Hmm. I actually corrected the spellings two days ago, so I'm wondering why people are still seeing the old ones now. Caching must be involved, but accessing the website in a private windows shows the correct spellings to me.
As I understand it, it was to improve their ESG score (they got up to 98) in order to spur up foreign investments. It did not quite work out as expected...

Re:No Fixed Address Bank Account on Sunday May 08, 2022 @06:40AM (#31302875)
I thought it might be useful for people without a regular address like digital nomads, but it's not. It's specifically for people "experiencing housing or homelessness difficulties and receiving support from one of our partner charities." Still a good initiative.

Maybe that's where all the invalid clicks came from last year...

What's really odd about this SoM is the extra cable coming out. Usually, all signals are routed to the edge connector.
Re:The mermaid is taking over Google search in Norway on Thursday July 29, 2021 @10:02AM (#27996652)
Google is garbage. I once complained a website stealing my contents and other people's contents was ranking very highly in Google. I was told I'd better fixed my website before looking at "competitors". Part of that was true, but at the time the person did not seem to care at all of spammy content delivered by Google.
Re:GameStop Is Rage Against the Financial Machine on Wednesday January 27, 2021 @09:18PM (#25937288)
Many people will lose money is this little game. The hedge funds deserve to lose since they took too many risks, but I'm afraid they'll be bailed out.

GameStop is bleeding money, and if the stock value is really closer to $3, then once this is out of the news, price will fall down to under $10 pretty quickly. Many smaller investors will lose out in the end.

From the article: “When the final two turbines are commissioned at Granville Harbour, Tasmania will have access to 10,741 GWh of renewable generating capacity – well above our average annual electricity demand of 10,500 GWh,”

How do they determine renewable generating capacity? I'm asking because it will vary years to years. Is it the theoretical max, or is it the value based on some averages of the expected output?

The difficult part about costs is finding out the real cost of generating electricity, most studies are incomplete or biased. If you don't count the cost of discarding used fuel, nuclear is suddenly much cheaper, and same is true if people don't take into account the cost of decommissioning wind turbines or solar cells, and the need for baseload.
Maybe not right now, but Baylibre is working on this: https://twitter.com/Superna9999/status/1253307218688081920

Anecdotic, but I've read several recent reports about people being kicked out of Google Adsense and Amazon affiliate program around the web.
I read an article the other day explaining that's one of the methods South Korea used to control the spread of the virus.

Re:Who is Facebook's mysterious “Lan Tim 2”? on Friday March 06, 2020 @10:28PM (#22509539)
I can just see Facebook know which banking apps/websites I'm using, and I just don't understand why...
Re:Top Raspberry Pi Alternatives in 2019 on Wednesday May 22, 2019 @10:11AM (#19981355)
Maybe because such a board is hard to fit into a Raspberry Pi case... :)
I'm using QuantCast Choice Wordpress plugin.
They build several thousands so they get cheaper components prices. Yet it's still surprising they can get it that much cheaper.

Edit: Zynq-7010 is just about $55 in DigiKey.

I'm using Thunderbird as I don't really need to read feeds from more than one device.

The stick you link to is A10s, I'm not sure it's well support by sunxi-linux at the moment. For Linux support, better stick to A10 dongles which cost about the same.
dding the Ubuntu or debian image (http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/a10_image/) to a 4GB microSD card should boot Linux in that device.

You may need to hack it a bit to make it work though, but information is available in the web.

Hopefully, we'll get stable images available soon.

"Run it while traveling on a tourist visa?". Maybe I misunderstand, but if you are going the illegal route, why to do it all the way? Just run a company without paperwork.
