The easy, low-cost solution is to build freight rail. But no, that's communism and it doesn't get a tech billionaire their extra billion.
The news itself is great, but holy hell is this headline hyperbole. The medicine is a really great treatment and even preventive cure for kidney disease, which is a very common cause of death in old age for cats.
No, this isn't some miraculous treatment that will give all cats a longer lifespan. It's a great cure to a very common cause of death in cats. Not sure where the 30 years figure comes from.
Despite government incentives to use Bitcoin, people distrust it because they know how volatile it is and 70% of the population thinks it's a scam.
Turns out even the Salvadoran poor are more financially savvy than tech bros.
For me, the value of RSS is bypassing the fucking algorithm.
Just give me the raw feed from the websites I like. No suggestions, no "someone else liked this." Just the raw firehose of content that I asked for.
I get a kick out of every time a journalist feels they need to specify "formerly known as Twitter" because X is such a generic, indistinguishable brand.
This article is specifically about Australia. Globally, Netflix added 5.9 million subscribers after their password-sharing crackdown.
I hate to say it, but the crackdown worked exactly as intended.
I was in China two months ago and the use of electric cars is honestly changing the feeling of big cities. Delivery motorcycles and service vehicles are all electric now, and with the number of electric cars on the road, streets are a lot quieter now barring the frequent honking. Less air pollution too.
What I love about Chinese electric car manufacturers is that they've fully embraced the cyberpunk aesthetic from the chassis design to the car sounds. Made me feel like I was walking around a cyberpunk movie set.
The author takes PPP (Purchase Power Parity) per capita of the UK as a whole versus individual U.S. states. So what does it mean that Mississippi on average has a higher PPP than the UK? Two things:
- The UK gets dragged down by it's poorer regions; and
- The U.S. has enough ultra-rich people to drag its PPP up despite a large swathe of its population being poor.
Another way to look at it is, if wealth distribution was fair in the U.S., even people in Mississippi would be better off than the average Brit.
I went and checked... That's a mischaracterisation. A lot of people are excited, a lot of people are asking what Lemmy is. Some people are saying it sucks but that's not the general vibe. There are quite a few people saying they visit both Reddit and Lemmy and enjoy Lemmy a lot more and go there first.
Jives with my own experience, TBH.
