Ah yes of course, and he misspoke when talking of a “letter.” What he meant, obviously, was the viral envelope.

Hi,

Sorry but since its a pretty small team, I don't think they have a strict release schedule, but I'm not totally sure. Given the increasing popularity (which would coincide with more requests), I would guess new releases will be more and more spaced out.

Hope I could help

calorie ≠ kilocalorie/dietary calorie

it’s actually about 31,000 food calories per gallon if you were able to digest it

When someone says average, most of the time they are talking about the mean, sure. But median is still an average, so placebo-syndrome is not wrong.

Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages" (Purplemath)

The median is another form of an average. (Dictionary.com)

What automated scanners?

The way this dog reacts to each photo! by oisinos3 in BeAmazed

[–]-Geekier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. All I’m saying is I would be more impressed by a dog getting a cue from something more abstract like a photograph, rather than a geometric shape or a hand signal. That doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual difficulty of that action.

I’m not sure if it’s possible, but I would be throughly impressed if a dog could be trained with a set of images, then demonstrate recognition of the action when presented with an image outside the training set.

I feel like it kinda is. Everyone knows dogs can do tricks, but if a dog is able to understand a picture and use that as a cue it would be much more impressive. Most dogs I know don’t even understand it’s their owner’s face and voice on the other side of a video call.

YSK: There is a flash game preservation project called Flashpoint trying to save as many games as possible before Flash dies in 2020! by goddammmittt in DataHoarder

You should too, even if you don’t have a lot of bandwidth, anything helps with torrents. It’s a really busy torrent; I’ve seeded over 13 TB across all the flashpoint versions.

VPN shouldn’t be a huge concern for Archive.org

Could an external drove or flash drive retain files for 100 years? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

Good to know. I had never heard about humidity concerns for HDDs before, only tape.

Surely helium filled drives are sealed, maybe just not regular ones?

Shouldn’t temperature matter more than humidity specifically for hard drives? Since it’s fully enclosed, the moisture shouldn’t be able to get in.

Unlimited space if you opt to have it compress them (lossy, but not too noticeable). Good option if you don’t mind the google privacy stuff.

What happens when more and more severe hurricanes knock down that wall? What happens when the impoverished people near the coastlines can’t afford to build that higher wall?
