“now”? AI as a field of research originates from the 60s, playing games of checkers and solving algebraic problems using what we’d now call “basic algorithms”.

May I introduce to you: https://github.com/drathier/stack-overflow-import

Surely you mean common refresh rates like 23.976Hz (NTSC), 25hz (PAL & ATSC), 50hz (PAL & ATSC), 59.95hz (NTSC), 100hz (PAL+) and 144hz, right? /s

There’s more CO2 dissolved in the water than there can be at atmospheric pressure. The CO2 is constantly trying to escape, but in order to do so it needs a nucleation site that disturbs the water. When the drink is shaken, lots of little bubbles form, and stick to the inner wall of the drink. These bubbles are nucleation sites. Flicking the side of the drink makes them float up and pop.

The current Bitcoin transaction fee is $0.67.

For a ~60 minute confirmation target. It’s $0.77 for a 20 minute confirmation target right now. The daily average is $1.03.

And lets not forget that the only reason the price is so low now is because people aren’t competing much for those transactions. If people actually used bitcoin to buy games the transaction fee would increase significantly.

The one on the very right is NVMe.

Thanks for the detailed reply. You saying that “They themselves claim that they don’t spend more than €5 per phone on fair trade or environmental stuff” is a complete lie. It’s not a number they’re claiming, it’s a number you’ve estimated. And lets be clear: what you’ve done is take $3k in gold credits plus $13k cobalt credits and multiplied that by an arbitrary 8x.

I think you’ve gone into your analysis with a foregone conclusion. There simply isn’t enough information to say anything about the cost overheat of being “fair”.

You’ll likely find almost identical amounts of recycled materials in any other phone, because it makes economical sense. It’s just cheaper.

And yet the FP4 was significantly less recycled. Plastic is certainly not cheaper to recycle; that’s a lie the plastic industry’s been pushing for a while.

they stop selling parts quickly

That’s weird. If they stopped making parts how did I get a replacement battery for my fairphone 3?

Have a look at their impact report. They themselves claim that they don’t spend more than €5 per phone on fair trade or environmental stuff.

I’ve looked through their report and I can’t find this info. The only thing I’ve found is a ~€2 bonus per phone to their factory workers, which is only a small fraction of a phones supply chain. Can you provide a more detailed reference supporting your claim?

Wirelessly.

FairPhone doesn’t do wireless charging.

A big problem they have is that they have to rely on Qualcomm for security updates, and the flagship chips simply don’t get 8+ years of support. Fairphone uses Qualcomms IOT chips, which come with much longer support.

I prefer my ice medium rare.

I might get downvoted to hell for this but if we silence fascists then isn’t it just a slippery slope to fascism? Unless people explicitly threaten people then most things should be fair game.

Violence is a founding principle of fascism. You can’t establish a dictatorship without violence. The ideology is an explicit threat.

but .for_each(|((_, , t), (, _, b))| { … } just looks like an abomination

It’s not so different in python: for ((_, _, t), (_, _, b)) in zip(top, bottom):

Or in C#: .ForEach(((_, _, t), (_, _, b)) => Console.Write(...));

I’m sure that exists, yes. But you can’t give the voting key to individual voters, because that can be bought. So you’re using the same black-box voting machines with all the same attack vectors (or even worse if they’re connected to the internet).

The only way to make voting machines safe is to have them print out the ballot, but at that point they’re just very expensive pencils.

what do you mean by spell fine?

I mean that when you ask them to spell a word they can list every character one at a time.

And yet they can seemingly spell and count (small numbers) just fine.

Many(most?) older towns did have a town square, many still do in various forms. Though it’s not the town square they’re about; it’s the medium density mixed-use housing.

I don’t know finnish, but from the translation the first page says very little about fabric softeners. Barely a title and 3 bullet points. A recommendation against using it for certain fabrics but doesn’t actually list them all, or why it’s bad. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t base my decision making on such little information.

The 2nd link is even worse, being primarily about allergies and chronic diseases, their concerns are about skin irritation. The only takeaway you should be making from this is that fabric softener can reduce or cause skin irritation.

Which consumer agencies? The ones I use all recommend against it.

Consumer Reports recommends against it: https://www.consumerreports.org/appliances/laundry/why-fabric-softener-is-bad-for-your-laundry-a5931009251/

Choice advises against it: https://www.choice.com.au/home-and-living/laundry-and-cleaning/laundry-detergents/buying-guides/fabric-softeners

Wirecutter recommends against it: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/guides/how-to-do-your-laundry-better/
