Well longevity in terms of "not much performance increases per generation" but the quality of goods isn't necessarily there. My middle mouse button of my thinkpad just randomly fell a day ago. I don't think I've ever even used the middle button... My laptop is about 3years old and for the first 2years was barely used because I used a different machine... My old pixel 3 phone had a few issues with it too. The USB-C port stopped working perfectly after a software update and wasn't being rma'd at the time. Battery bulge popped off the back.
I wish devices were made to last for at least 10years, only my modular desktop with haswell gen CPU has lasted that long. I downgraded it from daily to something else.
Didn't you just describe all jobs in all countries? There are people who feel forced to do immoral or illegal things. For instance I was just reading about one server at a restaurant in USA. He accidentally dropped a steak on the floor but was told to wash it off and serve it to the customer anyways. The argument being the customer would get mad if his food came out later then the rest of his party.
How many factory style jobs do people work not because they want to but because circumstances force them to? How many employers exploit their workers because its unlikely the workers will fight back?
i guess it depends on what type of fish you eat. I often eat relatively fresh salmon. I wouldn't say it tastes fishy even though its fish. It tasty oily, so much oil comes out in the baking process.
color is probably associated with certain flavors. For most people our eyesight is used to identify things more so then other senses. If you don't see the color you probably have to work slightly harder to identify what is being eaten. How many people have a tongue so accurate they can eat/drink food blindfolded and identify it?
I would say since the primary goal of genetic life is to survive and pass on genetic code. Muscles which clearly ended up working so hard that they were damaged need to be strengthen so next time such and such situation occurs they do not need to be stressed to such an extent. They are prepare for the eventual re-occurring of that task. Eventually you will lose muscle mass if you do not use/need it.
I think the 2 original goals of NFTs was to provide a way for people to continue to own content after finishing a game (whether game dies or a person just naturally leaves its) and somehow transfer that content to another game. The other was just to be able to play games directly on blockchain that are comparable to the small mobile games people play now.
Sadly the problem with anything related to money is it attracts StockBros whose primary goal is to steal/take money from the uninformed.
I basically have the same setup, using nextcloud notes. The notes aren't in plaintext, they are in markdown. Joplin can use nextcloud has a sync backend. There are also other note taking apps that can use nextcloud has the sync backend but in the end I wasn't happy with anything. Going to test drive Obsidian and dendron.so to see how they go.
For mobile users, Joplin does not support widgets and never will. Its written in react-native and that does not support widgets. They have an open issue and basically responded with will not implement or support. I'm someone who needs widgets for my notes...
language is simply a form of communication between 2 beings. If those buttons are pushed so that a specific outcome may occur through another party (human) I would qualify that as a form of language.
Well my anecdotal evidence from certain real estate agent says otherwise. She told me she would regularly show foreign buyers around new low/high rise developments only to have them buy entire floors in the Vancouver area. There was once where she had a foreign buyer who didn't know what he wanted. She showed him around at houses, condos, etc... and got no visual indicators he was happy with anything. When she was done and finally asked him if there was any he was happy with he said he would take them all. All foreign buyers she worked with were from China (as she spoke fluent mandarin).
I've been trying to decide if I should switch from GApps to Fastmail. This is the killer feature I wanted along with unlimited domains, looks like I'll be transferring over soon.
I guess the idea is that if 2 beings are conscious there may exist some mechanism to transfer information between them?
Understanding what is conscious is and how it comes about seems interesting. I think currently it falls more into the philosophical sphere of science rather then biological or physics. Maybe once more is understood about human consciousness we will be able to categorize and add other life forms and consciousness types to this list.
So the solution is to individually track down each cloned git repo on developers workstations. Then have each developer open up SSH access for others to clone using SSH or run an HTTP server? Also keep in mind not all repo's may have been cloned, up-to-date, etc...
DVCS is designed to propagate code to many people and allow them to easily modify and share with others who also have a copy. If people don't have a copy they can get a copy of a copy (which at some point may have been modified). In a large company you need a Single source of centralized truth. You cannot build a company on the concept of "it works on my dev workstation" or the worse suggestion here "all the company's IP source code is on only on my dev workstation".
Pumped storage is simply a gravity battery. There are vertical gravity batteries that can be built anywhere. Basically they are giant cranes that lift heavy blocks high up. This is the storage component and requires electricity. When we need to drain electricity they move the high blocks to a lower elevation using the crane. This generates electricity. This seems like the perfect type of battery to me for urban cities with large towers already.
What happens when every country has nuclear weapons at the ready and dictators in power? Pretty sure global warming (Climate change) won't be as disastrous as a nuclear winter.
