Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It’s not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn’t pretend to be either.

Ah, I’m not sure how the US market rules compare to other large stock exchanges but I don’t believe there are an enormous number of outright scams on either the NYSE or NASDAQ. There’s definitely a fine line between marketing, hype, and scam. Musk, for instance, pretty blatantly crosses the line into market manipulation but that’s more an exception than a rule. In general, disclosures are accurate and you can pretty much know what you’re getting into before buying.
It has not been my impression that the US has more business scams than other places. Most of the big ones I can think of are phone and internet scams primarily run out of other countries to avoid US law enforcement.
Truth in advertising laws aren’t perfect but do exist and are mostly enforced. Although I’m not sure false advertising exactly counts as a scam.
Is there a specific type of scam you’re thinking of?
I don’t believe it’s possible for a CA to decrypt TLS traffic with their private keys. They sign a site’s public key with their own private key after verification but are never given the private key itself. Public CAs only provide identity verification, they do not take part in the encryption process itself. Let’s Encrypt is perfectly safe in that regard.
How many magic users do you expect there to be in a given area? 1 per nation means you could make them pretty strong and influential but their abilities are limited by their physical presence, so most people are relying on traditional methods to do things and the fact that the wizard can make water or food is pretty meaningless. You still have to farm.
You can also limit magic by making it cost something. Some fantasy makes it physically exhausting, costing rest and food. That can be fun because dramatic, high emotion situations inherently allow for more dramatic uses of magic. It can also cost physical components, stronger magics utilize more or rarer components. That limits how a society might use magic to replace mundane tasks. Medieval peasant labor is going to be cheaper than whatever costly magic can offer.

I disagree. Each distro is a user of a thousand different open source systems. When a distro developer integrates gnome, systemd, bluez, or whatever other system they’re finding, reporting, and possibly fixing bugs that end users might miss. Other than arch users, who else is compiling these things from scratch and really digging into the documentation?
It’s only 100% efficient if you’re also letting all the exhaust into the house too…
The headline gives a bad first impression but I think the text itself has an interesting point. As it stands right now (in the US) the AI gatekeepers can’t copyright any of their output. So each and every piece of generated media is one more piece added to the public domain pile. Most of it is worthless but if there’s anything worth building on someone or someones can do that.
Here’s my guess.
All renewable energy comes from the sun, which is a giant fusion reactor. Seems like it might be a good idea to study and understand the concept.
Doing this by hand is challenging but possible.
First you need a hex editor, not a text editor. xxd on linux will get you started but you might want something a little more user friendly.
Then look for a label for a value you know, xxd and other hex editors will show ascii text on the side. Hopefully you’ll be able to identify the value (in hexadecimal, probably 4 bytes but could be 1, 2, or 8 as well) somewhere before or after the label. You might have to get familiar with endianness, two’s compliment, and binary floating point before the numbers make sense.
Once you know how to read a value after a label you’ll need to find some label for the information you don’t know. If it isn’t displayed in the program it might not have a super readable label.
It was a game set in Eberron.
My profile pic is Hesitan, a half-elf druid, dragon marked member of house Lyrandar and accomplished airship pilot.
Hestian’s recently discovered half-sister Mardu, a vengeance paladin, aberrant marked, and a survivor of a Breland suicide squad during the war. Not to mention an excellent weaver.
Ragnar, a dragonborn rune fighter, retired war hero, and accomplished chef (with his own food truck) from the eastern jungles of Q’barra.
Lathe, a warforged artificer and his loyal companion Ward. Once a worker in House Cannith’s warforged factories. On an epic quest to rediscover the secrets of creating warforged to allow his people to control their own destiny.
Elena, a ranger and dragon marked member of house Vadalis and her bird companion. An expert and researcher on the Mournland and its aberrant denizens.
The DM of our D&D game commissioned art of our party at the end of the campaign. My profile is a crop of my character.
I think it’s a typo and they mean the decrease in gravitational force goes from exponential to linear, but continues decreasing.
I have to believe an experienced holodeck user would be able to detect some of the telltale signs pretty easily. Like replicated food, if you see it enough you probably notice “holodeck vase #5” showing up scattered around the background of scenes as clutter. Or even minor visual distortions where it switches from 3d to the false horizon.
In the short term, only the children of the wealthy could continue into higher education. Anyone else who had dreams of doing anything that required higher ed, including professions that are already in short supply like doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, would be SOL. I can see how “starve the beast” makes an appealing, easy to understand fix for the issues in higher education, but I think the cost to people is too high to do it like that.
Also Rome, New York.
I’d highly recommend adding a license file. Right now it’s more source available than open source.
Very cool combination. How are you managing single sign on with all those services?
