And that was only because they had to beat the nazis and afterwards prove that capitalism wasn't worse for common folk than communism. Once that credible bogeyman was gone, we were left with TINA, so they went back to screwing everyone over.

What could have been...instead we got tinder :/

ostracods, a small crustacean that remains common today (there are 13,000 existing ostracod species). Some of these appear to be larval versions of the animal. There are also fragments of thin shells that probably were derived from shellfish like clams and mussels, as well as some pieces of an echinoderm (think starfish and sea urchins).

Overall, the most striking thing about the food present is the sheer variety of it. It appears as if the animal hoovered up anything with a shell it came across on the floor of the body of water it was living in.

Stupid question: ~~why doesn't~~ what does Google lose if it releases the codebases of killed projects on some OS license so that people who want to keep using and maintaining them have a chance to?

True...otherwise it's reverse hydro, which could be done with surplus renewables at peak times, but not at more than 10km.. This is mostly aimed at coastal communities (and sustainable floating villages 😁)

...or you could say fuck it, go full Dutch and build wind turbines and reservoirs everywhere to get water to all crops and green deserts 😊.

I don’t think desalination is the solution.

Solution to what?

Literally all rainwater comes from solar-powered evaporative desalination. There is nothing better than that, whatever the use.

If this works, it's better than anything we have , which costs grid energy and dumps brine all the same. If anything, the smaller scale makes it easier to distribute and dilute the output brine.

Some people even get sick just from the wrong FoV and motion speed combination in 3D games, this is just 10 times worse.

Alright, how much is the patch going to impact performance?

As noted earlier, GPU.zip works only when the malicious attacker website is loaded into Chrome or Edge. The reason: For the attack to work, the browser must:

allow cross-origin iframes to be loaded with cookies

allow rendering SVG filters on iframes and delegate rendering tasks to the GPU

~~Does Firefox do that?~~

What's the variation? Does it ever get to 9.9 or 9.7? It's a negligible "nope" for people weighing themselves :D

Mercifully, g=9.8 everywhere on Earth's surface, so we use weight interchangeably with mass, but yes, we should weigh ourselves in Newton: "I need to lose 10kg, so I can reach my ideal weigh of 700N" :P
