Couldn’t they also have not voted?

Thanks for the pointer! I took the opportunity to learn a bit about more recent NNTP by reading the standard: RFC 3977. It looks like nntp v2 circa 2006 added MIME encoding, so I would guess that may be how a service provider would differentiate.

I haven’t used Usenet since the turn of the century. Back then it was all text (including every article under alt.binaries), and even pirated media needed to be split into a multi-part format (often rar) then each part uuencoded so it could be included in an article.

Does your ISP not give your router a public (even if dynamic) IP? If not, then after your router you’d be double-natted right? Yuck!

What do you consider large files? Isn’t the article size usually limited to something like 1mb (it’s been a while since I used Usenet)?

So it would technically be about the number of articles rather than the eventual size of the combined archive? At the core it’s all still text right?

My dialup ISP in the 90s included Usenet.

But they are just as directly related.

It doesn’t matter how these units were originally defined. They have all been redefined as science progressed. As long as you relate the arbitrary unit to a constant it can be translated.

It might be funny if it were true, but it’s just a sad show of ignorance. It is exactly as possible in one as in the other for obvious reasons. It’s just not as easy to memorize.

To be specific:

• energy required to heat to boiling point 1180 kJ
• energy required to convert to vapor 8420 kJ
• energy required to heat to boiling point and convert to vapor 9600 kJ

It’s too neck-in-neck.

Do you feel that turducken-style programming and differences in the current models’ ability to handle declarative vs imperative impacts realization of productivity gains?

That saying too often gets used as an excuse to not even try moving away from patronizing a harmful business, as though it isn’t worth any inconvenience since we’re screwed no matter what.

Not either of those, but have you seen Brax3 phone?

How does that work since lactose isn’t a protein? Is it just that the affected people assumed they were intolerant of lactose, but it was actually the protein?

Regular chalk is calcium carbonate. Crayola’s website says their sidewalk chalk uses calcium sulfate (gypsum as an ingredient in plaster of paris).

So they’re both calcium salts.

I helped do the easy scenario at large scale in a fortune 50 several years ago after the vendor thought they could get greedy on the support contract renewal. Only required small changes to a few files and packages.

Oh, so Rust is like JavaScript!

It’s poor for the second, since the result is a gas (hard to store long term). We would want it as a solid or liquid product, which this doesn’t do.

Why wouldn’t the device include or feed a compressor to liquidize the CO2? It takes just a little over 5 atm of pressure which is trivial.

Right? So much of this seems like people not able to tell if actions are good or bad independent of who takes the action. There’s no way their team could ever do anything bad, and anything done by the other team is automatically bad.

God forbid you try to reinforce a rare good behavior from someone who’s also done a lot of horrendous things.

Someone stealing any physical property is likely bad for one or more reasons.

Also, you can’t steal an idea or a concept. Copying digital information doesn’t deprive the creator of the original. Copying isn’t theft.

“Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people

So confidently stated yet so very wrong. Citation - an example that’s available nationwide: https://no-ad.com/product/spf-85-sunscreen-lotion-3-oz/

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.
