Changing color of existing nets is a trivial change for such a big gain! Sounds like we can be investigating color as insect repellent for other crops too.
Don't like your first statement, but agree with your second.
Agreed. India is investing in a lot of sustainable energy sources, but more pragmatic than altruistic: they want energy independence. The good PR is a happy side effect.
India has the 5th largest hydroelectric power setup in the world, mainly because had poor access to fossil fuels and their extraction technology (even though it has vast stores of coal). It also acted as a good source of water for agriculture for a chiefly agrarian economy. As of 2020, 12.3% of power came from hydro, but fell in 2024 due to lack of rainfall. Which pushed up coal usage and emissions.
Ironic how climate change might push India to be less sustainable. However India is also investing heavily is solar, wind and nuclear, mainly as a backup for fluctuating geopolitics in Asia.
Holy shit that's a busy "day one" man. I wonder if he'll be able to do it? Will he be able keep his promises?
RedHat source is accessible to registered red hat users. That is NOT open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream
Yeah - this seems to be IBM's next step in making RHEL a gateway to IBM's AI trap.
Image mode builds on the success of open source projects such as bootc
I always think its icky when companies advertise open source projects in their propriety closed source one.
Seems like a way to avoid paying the original crew residuals and/or royalties
They'll Probably face a fine, a fraction of their quarterly profit. Most other consumer facing industries might suffer a long term/permanent loss in trust/image. But their customers are other companies especially management. My own extremely cynical view is, they'll come out being viewed as "going the extra mile for the client" even if it means being unethical.
When you're selling to psychopaths, showing them you're just the same is good for business.
Not OP, but I think he (along with other billionaire's) got rich off of tax breaks and subsidies that were tax funded. No person can earn his kind of wealth on their own and without some sort of exploitation, usually of poor people. Paying ~4% is understandably less than bare minimum.
What a stupid argument to say to a recent teenager. You may think her methods are less effective, but action is action. Especially for a disenfranchised literal child.
I think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the guy Messiah who found/reported it. FOSS software's strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!
Unpopular opinion: trains are not technically environmentally sustainable, but they are so much more efficient than cars & even buses that they might as well be.
Really? I need to go check it out. You got a source by chance?
Since they upgraded their glibc requirements for remote servers from 2.26 to 2.28, I can't use it to work on important legacy servers. So I am stuck with a version 6 months old. I wish I could've used the newer version
