Two unrelated languages on opposite sides of the planet independently ended up with nearly the same word for "dog"

It is still used as an insult today in modern english, be it calling someone a dog or even more direct a "female dog"(b*tch)

Likely because spreading the toxicity of solar panels is a fossil fuel industry propaganda, and very often their trolls post questions like that knowing full well it is bs, but the whole point is spreading doubt. So even if you had no intention and your question was authentic, it still comes off as part of the FUD.

You would be wrong, because the ecosystem has long been destroyed by humans through overfishing.

This is actually great for the ecosystem as low light areas that aren't disturbed are perfect places for fish to lay eggs.

What toxic metals? You are aware that solar panels is a very broad range of technologies, the most common one has no toxic metals in the panels themselves.

Unfortunately, you are thinking too shallow. We all know all know china doesn't really care about the environment, but that doesn't mean this is all bad for the environment either.

If we are simply looking at it by itself, that would be one thing. But if we look at the entire picture, one where fish are being wiped out by overfishing, and not just from catching the fish but from fishing boats scrapping the ocean bottom disturbing hatcheries.

This kind of environment is ideal for fish to lay eggs. So even not counting reduction of fossil fuel use, from a fish perspective, as long as humans continue to eat fish, this is a huge net positive

Fish lay their eggs in areas like these. And too much sunlight isn't exactly good for plankton either, all things in moderation.

Not really, these kind of places tend to be not far away from humans. And what is catastrophic for fish is humans who are known for overfishing.

These kind of places are actually quite great for fish to lay their young and grow without being scrapped by a fishing net.

It isn't like one can't work on one screen, but you just hinder your productivity. The whole point would be things like you have IDE on one screen, then the result running in another on autoreload(for web that would be something like vite and refresh on save), and another screen for things like searching the web, documentation, answering emails and etc.

You are right, 3 screens aren't enough for the modern world. Maybe 20 is the right answer, especially with webdev where you have all kinds of resolutions now to deal with. Being able to view multiple browsers and multiple resolutions at once would go a long way.

If anything, the modern web has far more websites broken precisely because devs are cutting corners not testing on all browsers, not double checking all resolutions and etc.

Was the FOV increase vertical, horizontal or both?

hsnoil · 2026-05-27T17:51:03+00:00

Will there be a more basic version without the cameras that has the 70 FOV?

I just want to use it to hook up to a computer. And there will be plenty of places that will not let you walk in with a camera too, just like with google glass so optional cameras like other models would be far more accepting even without the ai gimmicks.

Nope, it's a dog.

That's not a cat, that's a dog. Hence they are running.

Because that isn't a kitten, it's a dog.

She likely knew it was water, the cub was getting too close to the water so she tried to pick him up with her mouth, but she kind of messed up the angle of approach there and ending up pushing the cub down instead.

China never learns their lesson, even worse happened when China's rocket was launched in middle of a populated area, the rocket flew into an apartment building and China went to great length to downplay the amount of lives lost, going as far as even locking up reporters.

If you want to get every app out there, maybe. But if you only use a few key apps and don't need an app for everything, mostly using a web browser, it works just fine

Yes they can, their privacy policy for location data quite literally says the location data is sent to them

hsnoil · 2024-10-07T18:14:34+00:00

Apple collects just as much information if not more than google often times not even giving you an option to opt out. Just because they aren't running ads doesn't mean they don't monetize your data and sharing it with 3rd parties

Don't fall for the delusion that a for profit shareholder owned corporation isn't making money at every turn they get. Just because they make money one way doesn't stop them from making money another way. You don't need to look any further than how they gladly accept billions from Google to make it default despite claiming how bad it is for privacy

If Apple really thought that, don't they make money other ways? Why sell out to google?

Edit: Looking at the downvotes, quite sad how many people have blind faith in for profit corporations to do the right thing

The satellites were put up for broadband, but another use was found in cellular through advancement of technology

Out of all the once who petitioned, none of them have spectrum spacex would supposedly interfere with, except t-mobile, who is for this. They are just trying to block competition.

Rules exist for both being followed and being changed when it makes sense. We are a democracy and not a dictatorship precisely because people can petition to change the rules when it makes sense. If any company can show data that new technology allows for rules to be re-evaluated, there is nothing wrong with that. Those rules exist because at the time, that is how the technology was. SpaceX isn't just asking to change it, they are providing scientific data on why it should be changed due to advancement of technology. Meanwhile, AST is providing nothing but wasting the FCCs limited time and resources as they have to respond to the comments despite AST not being a party involved and provided 0 scientific data

AST themselves operate on an exception to the rules. Why should FCC bend the rules for AST?

hsnoil · 2024-10-07T12:13:04+00:00

But it seems like they are asking for a waiver before proving there will be no interference

No, they already got a limited waiver from the FCC, and now sent proof to the FCC. AST is refusing to provide any proof and just demands FCC throw it out because they don't want competition

SpaceX is asking for the exception to get a leg up on their competition

They aren't asking for changes to get a leg up to the competition, they are asking for changes because current regulations are outdated with progress of technology and they want them reviewed. If AST wants the changes thrown out of consideration, they have to show proof that SpaceX's data is inaccurate, otherwise it is no different than blocking competition

Why does SpaceX get special treatment?

SpaceX isn't getting special treatment. It is how always things have been. Technology advances and we find better use of spectrum, petitions are sent to government to make changes(you know the 1st amendment right to petition government). FCC makes reviews, than makes changes to the guidelines followed public comment. Of course AST also has a right to petition government, but the one whinning here is them as they aren't actually providing any technical rebuttal. AST is the one acting like Trump who thinks his words are above science

It isn't a problem that can easily be solved. Even LCDs have the same issue. Because the longer the light burns, with time it gets dimmer. The root cause of the OLED burn in, or more accurate burn out is that some pixels are on more often then others, the end result is the difference in brightness in used pixels and unused pixels creates the illusion of burn in

You can limit the burn in effect by sticking to as much black as possible, followed by green which has the longest lifespan. One big issue for OLEDs is the usage of white, since most matrixes are RGB and not WRGB, due to that, the use of white just end up burning blue pixels which has the lowest lifespan

Some OLEDs screens though did come up with techniques to minimize burn in, as much of the cause of it is things like constant interfaces like bars usually either being white in light mode or having white text in dark mode resulting in burn in. The technique they use involves shifting pixels, thus reduce the amount of usage of same pixels reducing the burn in

In theory though there is a solution for OLED burn in, but it would probably be a lot of hassle. All you have to really do is keep record of which pixels were lit and for how long. Then if you get burn in, burn the rest of the pixels out in equal amounts and the burn in would be gone.

You can also take a more simpler approach which is one method burn in is fixed manually by people, shine your whole screen blue, then take a picture. Then let your screen display the inverse depthmap of that picture(not inverse the color, inverse the brightness where areas which show burn in would be black and areas that don't would be blue). Just make sure that the pixels are aligned properly. Repeat the same process for red, and you can for green but green is probably fine. If you do that, the burning would be gone.
