Putting a soldering iron on a motherboard, using no whick, solder, or fume hood. This is the kind of jobs 90 year old politicians think of when techbros promise high paying tech jobs in their area.
Holding the soldering iron by the hot end is fine, though. That’s how you get a proper Maillard reaction going.
Same. Hell, I wouldn’t mind eating it raw; I like onion, but a whole one at once might be a bit much, so if I can spread it over a couple of hours then it’s easy enough. Although, for 1mill USD I can manage in about 5 minutes, but I could do it for A LOT less. 100$, maybe?
If I get to roast it, I don’t need to be paid. It’s free food.
That seems very high to me. I live in an old two story house (so not very well insulated), in Norway, and everything is electric. I’m not even close to that kind of energy usage in winter.
Yup. It makes it hard and painful to 01010000
That is just false. What an unjust claim.
Usually responsible, but never at fault.
Meaning while their actions (or inactions) may have lead to that situation, society should have prevented it from getting to that point.
Mainstream popularity.
If lemmy becomes big enough to have a user base that is a substantial slice of the population as a whole, corpo will try to ruin it as it ruined the internet as a whole.
So far the attention has mostly been a couple of content bots from news sites, and big socials spinning up their own instances only to get defenerated immediately. Once more effort is seen as profitable, that’s when there will be a real problem with bots, ads camouflaged as content, astroturfing, and everything else that follows.
Counterpoint: Can’t be dead in the water when the datacenters have used up all the water.
With ever-decreasing RTG output, I’m thinking something along the lines of power management, perhaps involving rewriting critical code to be more efficient to make the probe last longer. Shut down the wrong system, or submit code with errors, and you brick it and lose. If you manage to squeeze enough from it, the game ends with it arriving at a planet in a different galaxy where you “meet the final boss” of one last ditch effort: send a picture back home. It’s OK if the probe dies after, as long as the picture makes it back to earth.
Agreed. What he does may be important, but he says nothing or value. I avoid so many BS-articles in my feed through this continuously expanding list:
UPDATE: just added “Trump floats” to the list.
Mushrooms aren’t animalia
Only the trails a T-800 has visited.
Well, we are computer geeks, we just (sometimes) have other avenues of interest too.
Sorry to be that guy, but: venomous*
If you get sick from biting it, it’s poisonous.
If you get sick from it biting you, it’s venomous.
…as long as it’s part of Animalia, at least.
I pirated GTA1, using a bicycle and 7 worn floppy disks. The downloaded version was a rar file spread over 17 files. Took me four round-trip, a couple of km each, to finally have a verified copy.
Noted, thanks.
24 mill USD equivalent:
400000 that I can use every year until I’m 100 (I probably won’t live that long, so my kids get whatever remains). It’s much more than I need, but I want a lot of leeway to maneuver whatever the financial markets burp up. Then sum should allow for positioning in a manner that makes sure the fund itself isn’t eaten up by inflation.
I first thought 12 mill, but realized that my anual “salary” would be of diminishing value due to inflation, so I doubled it to be on the safe side.
I still see “from somenumber” in car commercials from time to time. Maybe it’s only for products where you can’t easily go order it online, choosing between several outlets trying to undercut each other’s prices.
I think I’m on the safe side, emplyment-wise. And if it turns out I’m wrong, I have a lot of contacts, so I don’t think I’d stay unemployed very wrong.
My mortgage is on a fixed rate until 2032, so while financial adjustments won’t be fun, they probably won’t be devastating either.
