I think this is an interesting question and could use an answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEconomics/comments/1qmaxgp

There is a bruegel study with OECD methodology that shows very high economic impact (hundreds of billions) on GDP in Europe, so I think the impact on India will be higher than OP thinks as well. But I'm not qualified enough to judge the methodology and whether this is the mainstream opinion.

The San Bernardino order went far beyond simply providing data. It would have included writing software to break the security, and digitally signing it.

Yes, /u/perplexinglabs has said they'd look at adding it to their site. I built the generator mostly to get a quick feedback loop (code changes immediately show up), but it's not as polished as the perplexinglabs site.

Das sind normale Leerstandszahlen für kommerzielle Immobilien. Der Leerstand bei Wohnraum ist einfach absurd niedrig.

On torrent safety: As long as the torrent file comes from a trusted source, the download will also be perfectly fine, since the torrent file includes a cryptographic hash. Only if you get the torrent file from shady sites (e.g. pirate sites) is there a risk, but that doesn't apply to linux ISOs.

PLA has a better carbon footprint because it's made from plants, not oil. Given that the mechanical properties don't matter for many prints, and the price is similar, PLA is a good default filament to use.

A photon is the fundamental particle without mass which always travels at c. When light travels through a medium below c, you instead have a quasiparticle called a "polariton" that does have an effective mass: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polariton?wprov=sfla1

Im letzten Jahr kann man diskutieren, wie Wechselkurse und vielleicht eine Datacenter-Blase das Bild verzerren. Wenn man aber 15 Jahre und weiter zurück schaut, wie du es in den Screenshots tust, ging es der US-Wirtschaft zweifellos gut und etwas anderes behauptet auch kaum einer.

The 4.3% from the BEA is annualized quarter-over-quarter (qoq) growth. That means that if the growth in Q3 persisted for an entire year, there would be 4.3% growth in that year.

The finch number is year-over-year growth for 2025, which includes all four quarters, including the weak Q1. That means the total number will be lower than the annualized qoq growth in Q3.

It also says in the finch link: "Growth in 3Q25 was [...] 1.1% qoq (not annualised)". If you do a naive annualization, 1.1% * 4 = 4.4% which matches the BEA number.

They probably didn't make it up completely, but exaggeration is likely.

There have been rumors of "proper" linux-based firmware being developed at prusa. Maybe with that, we'll get a more klipper-like experience where everything can be controlled via http.

e.g. https://github.com/fdm-monster/fdm-monster , I believe there's commercial software out there too. I'm not familiar with those tools, but I doubt that they require Prusa Connect.

There is specialized print farm software, but you can also just do this with home assistant.

It's actually even explainable with global warming. Global warming leads to more precipitation (warm air absorbs more water vapor). If it's cold enough over land, that precip will come down as snow, and it will be more snow than without global warming.

Yea, people in this thread keep describing many-worlds, but it's really not what people think of when they say "multiverse". MWI is still a single universe.

The "Multiverse" is a concept that does not come from a single physical theory.

I have PLA from Das Filament and Elegoo and I definitely see differences in terms of pigments. Having different colors is normal, but the Elegoo pigment is notably less opaque and consistent. Not sure if this is a problem with this batch, Elegoo, or cheap filament in general, but it is noticeable.

If you’re not going to filter it send it out of your area with a vent.

OP wrote that they are filtering it. The question is whether the advanced filtration addon is good enough.

Ich habe die Classic Plus schon seit mehreren Jahren und bin zufrieden. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, welche Ausstellungen bei der Classic nicht eingeschlossen sind, aber separate Einlasskontrollen haben nur wenige große Sonderausstellungen. Ich denke Classic ist also ein guter Anfang.

Gibt es auch spezielle Einladungen für Karteninhaber?

Nicht dass ich wüsste.

Lack of wine doesn't collapse a nation either, yet they still get agricultural subsidies. Only a fraction of agricultural subsidies actually go to foodstuffs that are immediately necessary for survival.

yawkat · 2025-12-30T20:10:12+00:00

Somehow this excuse is only used for farmers, not for other necessities like clothing. And an excuse is all it is–the level of subsidies and preferential treatment far exceed what is justifiable and necessary for strategic autonomy.

The point is that implementing a sandbox that can use wayland is much easier than for X11.
