tl;dr; edition: Norway went big on factory farming of salmon. Which resulted in all the usual problems that factory farms cause. They are now trying to mitigate the problems. But that costs money,…

Not a Tailscale user, but... For any software or tooling with a complex config, my ideal would be to have a superset of this feature, to provide "intelligent diffs" between full or local con…

It'll take a while after the pipes emit horrid gurgling sounds - and no more water - before most people start getting "reasonable" about this.

I lost interest about where the NYT's "js disabled" censor cut off my access. My far shorter take: 1 - Barring actual medical need, do not be a (less conservative) outlier in your workp…

Compared to Amazon and other e-tailers with hundreds of thousands of sku's of computer & internet-connected electronic stuff, 99% of which they do nothing whatever to curate? Yes. But that…

I'd downvote Reuter's reputation here. The very low water, and drought behind it, are major problems for millions of people. And quite a few European nations. Vs. their clickbait "Naz…

Reliability generally isn't an issue with higher-end IBM hardware. The comparison I'd make goes back to 1980, when IBM forced Intel to license other companies to produce 8088 CPU's, so …

Not an expert, but... As Wikipedia partly mentions, Shay designs were very well suited to low-speed operation on dirt-cheap (often temporary) tracks. That generally meant narrow-gauge, light rail &am…

Far closer, because (my impression) the F-16 has nothing resembling the targeting systems you'd want for this job. Hopefully a decent defense contractor or few sees business opportunities here.

Thanks. With the relative speeds, I'd guess the Falcons would use an attack profile similar to ground strafing - letting them pass well above the cloud of debris. Any thoughts? Also, Wikipedia …

The France24 article says the drone was shot down over the Black Sea.

Yeah, obviously F-16's & humans scale very poorly for this. However: - At one-a-day scale, political and risk considerations probably favor the expensive solution. - Using F-16's reveal…

Points to Romania for shooting it down, over the Black Sea but within their airspace. But if they actually needed an F-16 to do the job (vs. that being a cover story, or good politics, or their leas…

A Ph.D. in what? Machine learning? Political Science? Ancient Babylonian Literature?

True, but: Consider how many rocket development efforts squandered 10X to 100X the money, and >8 years, without making it to orbit. Using solid fuel for their first 3 stages also makes it far eas…

Look back at the grandparent comment. If someone doesn't have 3-5 years in total savings, then they had better not try to retire.
