Makes sense. Millennial generation starts with people born in 1981, and ICP became big in the late 90s. So millennials were the teenagers when ICP hit big. I doubt many people in their 20’s and 30’s were jumping on the ICP train.

I think the ICP fans include at least as many millennials, maybe even more

Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.

In most situations i agree with you, but i think when it comes to the purchase of techie things (like which computers and OS a company should use) then the opinion of techies matters. Their opinion may not matter as much as it should, but in aggregate over time it can cause large changes in purchasing decisions

I think this graph doesn’t have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions quantum computing started to move up the “tech trigger” slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.

I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After “tech trigger” there needs to be “real world applications”. Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.

In chemistry this is the equivalent of Energy of Activation. If a reaction can’t get over the big first step, then it can’t proceed on to any secondary steps

Just based on the title it sounds sensible to me. I assume there’s some incentive that makes the people want to do this

When a company opens a facility in another country, why don’t they just higher local people to be the managers?

fedia.io is the replacement you’re looking for. It’s an mbin, which is a branch from kbin

You just said that AC can’t make an indoor space cooler than the temperature outside. This is completely wrong and easily disprovable by simply asking anyone who lives in a hot region. The air conditioned indoors is always MUCH cooler than temperature outside.

Like, how do you think freezers work? The temperature inside the freezer stays below freezing while the ambient room temperature is 80 F.

AC is an ACTIVE heat pump. It can push heat out to where it’s already hotter, because it’s using energy to do it. What you’re describing is a passive cooling system, but air conditioners are active systems that use energy to push heat against the gradient. It’s like how a passive water pipe can only have water flow down from it’s highest point, but a powered water pump can actively move water upward to a point above where it started.

Fyi some microwaves have a way to set it to silent mode. I think in some models it might even be an undocumented button combination to do it. Web search your exact model to see if there’s a way to do it

I have no idea what you’re trying to say

Explain to me how they could easily tell it was a bomb that was placed there 2 months ago. And that it was detonated remotely. And all the other details.

If this is true, why would they release the information about how they did it?

Yes there is some psychological warfare effect that will make hamas people feel scared for a short amount of time, but it will also make them change their security procedures to help prevent this method from working in the future. Their forensics were going to determine that it was a bomb, but they wouldn’t have been able to tell that the bomb was planted so far ahead of time.

I’m not convinced this story is true. I’m not saying it’s false, but i am saying they had no incentive to tell the truth, and in fact they have incentive to lie so that hamas puts work into securing against the wrong method.

Big blue is a nickname for IBM, but i think you’re referring to Intel

1. Pedantic. You’re arguing that false advertising isn’t illegal. But it is.

2. As the other poster said, perpetuity isn’t what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.

3. See number 1.

1. Marketing promises ARE a contract. Companies aren’t allowed to advertise a thing and then not do that thing. That’s false advertising and fraud. Companies aren’t allowed to say they offer a product or service for price X and then actually charge price Y. This is well established law.

2. You either didn’t read or didn’t understand the article. Multiple times in multiple ways the company said it’s offering a lifetime price, which is different than a price offered only for a limited term. They very explicitly said “T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” and “T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” etc. etc.

Boy, in 1994 this would’ve been huge!

Oh snap that’s so geeky cool!

If you want to change this about yourself, then you can see a therapist to help you do it. You don’t have to be mentally ill to see a therapist, they can just help you make changes in yourself that you want to make. For something like this you would want to see a CBT therapist
