I remember constant grocery deficits, no meat, no cheese, etc in groceries. and all other kind of deficits. But there were rotten potatoes, and 2 types of bread! Glory to our leaders! fun times, you say.
Re:The First Sodium-Ion Battery EV Is a Winter Range Monster on Sunday February 08, 2026 @10:28PM (#46941252)
I drive long distance weekly on my gas car. Full tank in summer (+20C) gives me 520 km, while in winter (-20C here) I get 430-440 km. I noticed it on my current and previous cars. Maybe it's thicker oil and worse car efficiencies in winter ? And that's despite that full tank of gas has more gas in winter comparing to summer, gasoline is denser in cold temps.

America striven on startups well before H1B became expanded so much it's barely doesn't include janitor positions... with smaller H1B pool, startups may need pay more. But also more compensation and demand in IT in US would make more people go to IT - smth-smth middle class, not poor class. BTW, what's the stats on how many doctors and lawyers come to US on H1B?

Yeah, with help of KGB. What could possibly go wrong? It could become as democratic as Cuba. In best case. Or take path of other countries with exported communist revolutions, like North Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. You just don't know about pervasive and perverted level of informants and delation that was installed by these "democratic" countries

We do see the signs and reports, you just have to look. LLMs are being adopted to warfare, with drones or otherwise, there is progress there, but it's not currently at the level of "substantial difference". And 5 years is huge time from progress perspective in this domain - just try to compare LLMs of today with LLMs of 2020.
Re:Ketamine for Depression: How It Works on Sunday February 09, 2025 @11:13AM (#42991529)
When fermenting foods, use water from good source (e.g. bottled water), you must boil water with salt (,sugar, spices ) first, let it cool, and then add it to cleaned, well washed vegetables or fruit. Use clean glass container. Fermenting procedure varies for different veggies / fruit. Maybe first try to buy readily available fermented foods to see if it works for you.

Re:New ways to catch gravitational waves on Friday June 28, 2024 @04:19PM (#40824839)
Nah, asteroid is not enough. you'd need to wiggle a couple or more large black holes in super close proximity. But who knows, may there be alternatives we are not aware of? Is it Higgs boson that gravitational field carrier particle , similar to electrons for EM field? Maybe there is a way to mass-produce those and modulate gravity waves that way, eh ?

>> Furthermore matter is just condensed energy, so why bother with some wonky immobile megastructure when you can just decay your everyday trash into pure energy.

True, matter is an energy... however the only known way to convert matter into pure energy is to make it annihilate with antimatter ( akin to electron-positron). We first have to have a good and cheap source of antimatter! And the matter annihilation may still generate a lot of particles/matter - that may be a waste (or not) depending what you do with that further.

A Partial conversion of a matter into energy is also fusion and fission reactions, but they are limited by the difference between source and end element of reaction here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_peak#/media/File:Binding_... - e.g. H2 -> He3, That uses only a tiny portion of matter, no energy that can be extracted from Fe56 (max), and all its close elements are also useless for either fusion or fission energy extraction.

>>Because the best result isn't going to be from draconian punishments for CEOs.

Why do you bring "draconian" punishment? Is punishment always draconian? Are the best results observed in places where crimes are not punished? Could you provide references to research that confirms this? Or your worries that punishments should not apply to CEOs?

But does that matter? if someone tried a software or a service and then terminated or quit that, then does that end-user agreement still applies in perpetuity? Let say I cancel a cable TV subscription or quit MySpaces, do I still really bound by their EULA?

They probably can do that much cheaper: just come up with two opposing conspiracy theories, and people will naturally divide into 2 camps and will eagerly kill each other.
If we make corporate tax to e what it was historically normal, and tax the wealthy-wealthies to a reasonable level and close all ridiculous loop-holes, then it can be zero-sum. Or even profit.

just a question - could it be that these forts provided defence against wild life? I think mammoth, woolly rhinos, bisons, aurochs, and some big extinct deers may have still been there. As well as siberian tigers, bears, wolves, etc

And a surprisingly high number of people here are defending a false advertising. Wow.
