The user you’re talking to is way too unaccepting of counterarguments but I do find it funny how in one comment you’re talking about elitism and then in another you say all the high end restaurants use gas

Science@mander.xyz•Coffee with a splash of physics: how to make the most out of your brew – Physics World
1·7 days agoIf it takes 155 people to make a cup of coffee, assuming it’s $3 and minimum wage is $7.25, then on average every person involved has to have spent less than 10 seconds on their individual contribution to have been fairly compensated (if $7.25/hr can even be considered fair compensation).
Of course, it’s not like anyone involved is specifically dedicating 10 seconds to this one cup, no they’re making batches. But even still, ten seconds is so very short.
Of course, we already knew almost everyone in the chain is being exploited.

Android@lemdro.id•Nova Launcher could soon add a proactive AI assistant that sucks up all your dataEnglish
1·15 days agoMy main reason for using Nova is that i can assign various gestures to folders - tap to open the first item, swipe up to open the folder, swipe down to do a third thing. Anyone know if other launchers support that kind of thing?

Earth, Environment, and Geosciences@mander.xyz•A 1.9 billion-year-old bedrock will soon house the world’s first permanent nuclear waste siteEnglish
2·26 days agoMost high level nuclear waste is spent fuel and can be recycled. Sometimes it doesn’t make financial sense, but politically it can, depending on the circumstances.
Low level waste, things like irradiated shielding, pipes, PPE, etc, can’t be recycled into fuel, and it represents a large majority of nuclear waste.

The Elder Scrolls@lemmy.zip•Skyrim and Fallout 4 artist says Bethesda's Todd Howard has too many yes men: "A lot of people were afraid to say no to Todd and that hurt him"
1·1 month agoI read an article recently, too lazy to grab the link. It was a second-hand account of how Gabe Newell realized when he worked with developers, they were yes-men, so he decided to step back from game development projects because he couldn’t get his ideas treated equally with his employees’.

7·1 month agoBrainless clones would be an interesting and maybe ethical way to test gene therapies/modifications.
But making rich fucks live forever is probably what it’s going to be used for.
It’s going to be barbarism isn’t it

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What to do with surplus solar power in an island solution?

Science@lemmy.ml•We're about to simulate a human brain on a supercomputer
3·2 months agoI imagine one of the most important factors is we don’t have a way to accurately scan a brain to correctly reproduce all those trillions of connections. We don’t have a blueprint to go off. Or if we do it’s probably prohibitive in scale to collect that.
I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.

5·2 months agoMuch easier to start if you know there are 3600 seconds in an hour. 36 is 9×4 and 100 is 10×5×2. Then 24 hours is 8×3, and 6 weeks gives you 6×7 (hand gesture).

World News@lemmy.ml•A few hours after Iran's large-scale operation against US bases in the region, Donald Trump conveyed a message to Tehran through Italy, calling for a ceasefire
8·2 months agoIt’s so they can get both the benefit of the first strike and then when Iran retaliates they can claim they turned down a ceasefire.
Because international diplomacy is a universe of bullshit and lies
