Re:Electrification Could Cut Global Energy Use in Half on Sunday November 01, 2026 @12:29AM (#50322711)
I decarbonized my 125 year old home this summer. Cold winters here, using mini split heat pumps now for heat. Previously had oil, and 90 years ago it would have used coal. Love thinking this will be the first winter this house ever had where dirty exhaust wont be going up the chimney to keep it warm.

since when is not owning a stock equivalent to shorting it? Also dude it's down 20% in the last year.... If you shorted it you'd be 20% up

That's exactly how I see it too. Not a tesla shareholder but if I was I'd be running for the hills.
Or not a competitor and I wonder if it was chatGPT if they would have needed a warrant or not....
Just make sure that its well isolated from the Internet!!

Great! Now what's Honda waiting for?
But how long would the real solution take if it ever comes and what would the collateral damage be while we wait?
Canadian pharmacies are duct tape for Americas broken health care system. If we rip the tape off first without a fix we're gonna be in trouble.
For all we know the contract says the FAA is responsible to notify Verizon if the line becomes dead. We don't know what the agreement is.
Yes and at some point it won't even need YOU anymore.
Agree. The only time a company does something in the public interest is when it believes doing so would ultimately benefit the shareholders. Everything is a business decision.

Only works when the thing you want to make off limits isn't all that desirable in the first place.

How does that help if the bank doesn't have the data?
Re:What do Visa and Mastercard do? An intro to card networks on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @02:35PM (#49631533)
I would love if it was transmitted to the bank for my own use so I can easily remember what I purchased or run budgeting software against it! Obviously wouldn't be excited about it being resold tho.
What about product placements in movies?
Re:Actively exploited sandbox RCE in all Chromium versions on Saturday September 05, 2026 @02:24PM (#49579257)
So then what's the big deal? If you had JavaScript turned off it would allow code to run in the sandbox anyway?
Re:Actively exploited sandbox RCE in all Chromium versions on Friday September 04, 2026 @11:21PM (#49572805)
Isn't this exactly why there is a sandbox? What can the RCE actually do or obtain within the sandbox?

I feel as a civilization we are further behind in battery technology than we should be at this point.
Need the EU, or California or some other large jurisdiction to create a law requiring identifying labels on all AI content
Didn't know people still had cable packages!
Dunno about you but I don't know anyone with live RJ-11 jacks in their house anymore.

Dude you got a free once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Amazon and Rio Negro. You saw pink dolphins. I think you made out pretty well. I would have taken the $100 and made peace.... Yeesh

Nah, Reticulum is a agnostic to the underlying communication mediums. It can work over telegraph lines even
I thought open model != open source?
I think you didn't put a lot of research in before making this recommendation. Labels make more sense because the top tier USB c specs are darn expensive.....
What best practice for enterprises self hosting latest models .... Restricting outbound Internet access?
