I built one, but by that time our local FM radio waves were so saturated that there was no good frequency to use.

"Hashed emails". Besides the fact that they can match up a hash from one source to a hash from another source to link them to the same person (they never said they'd salt them), emails often have enough predictability to break the hash. Assuming they all end in "@gmail.com", "@outlook.com", or "@yahoo.com" will get you the vast majority of emails out there. Unlike a good password scheme, people don't shove a lot of random data into their email addresses.
The US is allergic to it, but needs to get over it.
Aluminum wire was tried in the 1970s due to a spike in copper prices. The problem was that they just tried to swap it right in. Aluminum and copper have different rates of expansion. Over time, that would slowly loosen the connectors, and the wires would pop right out and cause a fire.
You can design connectors to handle both, and you'll see many electrical things today specify that they're good for aluminum or copper wire. It still has a bad reputation among electricians; they haven't unlearned the problem yet.
Now, one place it's more of a problem is in things like transformer windings. There are kilometers of wiring in any of them, so the higher resistance of aluminum is a problem.
From old electrical connections that weren't designed for the different rates of expansion of aluminum and copper. Today, most of them are.
There's a thread of thought that pops up in pro-AI posters from time to time: technology can't go backwards. The implication being that the current state of AI can only improve, and is here to stay.
This is wrong. Companies are spending multitudes of piles of cash to make AI work, and they could easily take their ball and go home. Extending copyright over the training data would likely trigger that, by the industry's own admission.
No, self-hosted models are not going to change this. A bunch of people running around with their own little agents aren't going to sustain a mass market phenomenon. You're not going to have integration in Windows or VisualStudio or the top of Google search results. You're not going to have people posting many pics on Facebook of Godzilla doing silly things.
The tech can go backwards, and we're likely to see it.
Propaganda is useful. It might be wrong, but there is a specific reason they're saying it.
I take this to mean just the ceremony, right? They probably don't give marriage licenses already to LGBT people, or their equivalent government approved marriage document. They're criminalizing throwing a party in celebration of two peoples' love.
To salvage the argument, it's quite possible this would have been different if they were from GM rather than VW.
Interesting to see that take. When it was new, Redditters criticized him for not giving a better response. You know, the response they came up with when they're sitting comfy in their house, and not actually there in the moment.
Which is to say that your take is correct when you have reasonable expectations of ability to improv a response.
Which may highlight the the issue with correlation and causation in this study. Are they far right because of having less social interaction, or does being far right tend to push people in your life away?
There's nothing about being larger that makes access speed inherently slower. We just have to use cheaper technologies to improve density. CPU cache is usually SRAM, which is less dense than DRAM, but faster. 1GB of SRAM would be god tier. Even the Ryzen X3D chips only have 96MB of L3 cache, all SRAM, and those are sick.
FLAC is where it's at. Oddly, most of the head units that understand FLAC don't have CD drives at all. If it has a CD drive still, it probably only understands MP3.
Which is one response to the question of "why would you encode an MP3 at a high bitrate when you can just use FLAC?" It's because I had a car that didn't FLAC.
