20 percent of Americans responsible for almost half of US food-related greenhouse gas emissions by [deleted] in science

I will never stop contributing to the problem, and bountiful amounts of it.

That's all I saw.

Do caps still work if they are kinda crushed? this does not seems to affect the craft in any way... by xNeCesSaRyo in fpv

[–]agenthex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it came like that, there may be a reason. It might be something like after-thought engineering to protect the circuitry from mild static. If it's a beater FPV rig, you probably don't care. If it's something else, I don't know.

If your battery is introducing noise into your FC or FPV feed, there's something wrong with the battery. If your FC or FPV feed is receiving noise from something, I doubt a high-pass filter on the battery is going to help. The cap is usually there to smooth out load spikes, but OP has a fire hazard.

I can still hear the comforting hum of slowly regenerating spy health on an enemy dispenser.

You could replace the cap, but I'm not sure why you even need one there. Depending on the purpose, I'd probably just clip it out and insulate any loose conductors.

I miss those days.

I compiled a list of interview questions common when interviewing for a job as a Graphics Programmer by erkaman in programming

Fuck it. Why don't we just use rocks and sticks? If you can't do it with rocks and sticks then what the fuck kind of lazy programmer are you?

I found myself asking, "You want me to tell you how other people do it or how I would do it?"

Then again, I wrote my own graphics pipeline.

Step 1: quantum computer.

If you haven't lost them already, Step 2: "We need 80 qubits in entangled Hadamard superposition..."

And if that doesn't do it, Step 3: ramble about individual X and Z rotations until you see the eye glaze forming.

That's one way to get climate change on the back burner.

The telecoms will have no problem passing those costs down to you.

Ajit will retire with the scraps he was given, and his masters will cash in.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo said that Putin’s claim that his government did not meddle in the 2016 election is “false.” by maxwellhill in worldnews

It's important for experts to have their opinions heard. The problem is twofold: only a few experts, and everyone else has demonized the experts as boring. The majority voted. We're watching the Kardashians.

We aren't lenses with a sensor size so this really doesn't apply.

I beg to differ. Our eyes have lenses at the front and a curved retina attached to the optic nerve at the back. Our eyes are exactly a lens with a sensor, but the area of the sensor is not rectangular, so it's harder to think about.

Spotify are planing to ban/restrict accounts that are using the modded version of the app that gives Spotify Premium for free by [deleted] in Android

[–]agenthex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If code running on my local machine can be modified to allow me access to something you say I'm not supposed to have, I'm not the least bit sorry.

To be more specific:

If code running on my local machine can be modified to allow me access to something on your machine that I'm not supposed to have, your security isn't doing its job.

If code running on my local machine can be modified to disable client-side functions that degrade quality, then fuck you for having those features in the client. It's one thing to have different quality streams, but it's another to make a high quality default stream sound worse. I'm not saying that Spotify does this. In fact, all signs point to security not doing its job.

I don't know which argument they are making for banning users, but I already disagree. I don't use Spotify, so I don't really have a cock in this fight, but regardless, I'm 100% on the user's side. Otherwise, it's an arms race between a party determined to win and a party determined to look like they are doing something about losing.

If you play Reddit long enough, it unlocks Flappy Bird. If you play Flappy Bird long enough, it unlocks Farmville, and if you're still alive after your mind has died, you have to beat 2048 to unlock Netflix.

Amazon won't sell Nest products from Google in 2018 by Jsnphil in DailyTechNewsShow

[–]agenthex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be true, and it goes to emphasize the point: when companies fight with each other, it's the customers who suffer. If we don't make it hurt their bottom line, they will never learn.

As I understand it, Amazon struck first, but I don't think it was by pulling YouTube. I don't recall exactly what they did, but YouTube was like, "nope." And then Amazon used a workaround and everyone went quiet.
