If we can solve the problem of generating phosphorus

Any more info on this? Curious about phosphorus, haven’t heard about it before in context of long-term space travel.

I wouldn’t go that far, oligarchs (in the US or otherwise) are generally very intelligent, sophisticated (in the functional sense) and even hard working.

This is not meant to be some sort of justification, they are clearly corrupt, deeply dishonest and extremely malicious. That doesn’t mean they should be underestimated or one should discount their capabilities.

Apologies for calling you a sir, miss!

Well played, sir!

Good to hear at least some upside for Mastadon from the recent rise in Bluesky users.

Hopefully this trend will continue and and Mastodon can retain at least a solid percentage of those why try it.

Sounds like they feel they have enough leverage over US companies where they can keep the leading edge node “exclusive” to in-country manufacturing.

And they do have very strong leverage.

1 month is nothing and the data from Statcounter is likely to be more directional (since from my understanding it’s not based on shipments or POS transaction aggregation). If they saw multiple quarters of significant gains in market share, that would be a different story.

Samsung was one of the few Android OEMs that didn’t adopt A/B updates (well, until now).

I think they will apply learnings from Apple, they’ve been in the VR game for a lot longer after all.

yyyy.mm.dd does honestly makes by far the most sense. That being said, north america switching to day first would already be a massive achievement.

Yeah, I don’t understand why Americans (and notebookcheck) still use MM-DD-YYYY.

GSMArena states that the Huawei MatePad 12 X was released on September 19th 2024.

Agreed, I initially did get confused when reading the article.

Worth reading if the semiconductor industry is one of your interests.

Paints a pretty bad picture of Gelsinger. I wonder how systematic these issues are. However the examples cited are too serious to be ignored IMO.

Agreed, the official process was a massive pain and borderline non functional.

I lived in North America for ~10 years, the whole time I still converted miles / pounds / fahrenheit into real units in my head.

To this day, feet/yards etc. sounds like made up measures to me.

To implement something like this, you would need a radical change in judicial and criminal systems.

Something along the lines of any white collar crime worth more than say 10 annual local median salaries, would require a rehabilitation program (if convicted) that would start with full asset seizure (absolutely everything) and a minimum of 10 years real community service (live-in junior janitor at an Alzheimer’s outpatient institution with minimum wage and limited access to internet and smartphones). The community service could easily be extended to 20, 30 or 40 years depending the on the severity of the crime.

You would also need to get rid of various “get out of jail free” laws and make it easy to organized criminals and send them to rehabilitation programs.
