@jonbro @jwildeboer @cstross don't even need barometer. GPS data is three dimensional

@mekkaokereke

Generally unsurprising. Use biased data to produce a biased algorithm, get biased results.

But I am surprised that "name" is included in the evaluation factors. I can see no use for including that.

@mekkaokereke Ethanol fuel is solar power with extra steps (and a 300:1 drop in efficiency.)

@A_C_McGregor @stavvers The other 1% is #TimWalz

@PollyWaugh @StillIRise1963 When Laura Loomer and Margorie Taylor Green are fighting for your affection, you have reached the bottom of the barrel.

@pluralistic How about we just feed all school kids for free? Breakfast, lunch, maybe a snack for on the way home? Just feed kids.

@inthehands Better: let's put that in the hands of the FTC and apply tax rates based on who benefits from the product. If it benefits poor people, low to no taxes, if it benefits rich people, high taxes.

@LRRRonEarth Steven Colbert played a character for eleven years. Some people also took that character far too seriously. The world needs clowns and jesters. You are in fine company. llegitimi Non Carborundum.

@jk this is why you use tmux

@ai6yr @KarenStrickholm @davidaugust guess what i was taught in 1981: spontaneous generation of weevils in flour. Admittedly in a "Home Economics" class, not science, but still. (Yes, this was the moment i lost all faith in school.)

@inthehands @baldur no they were too busy bribing politicians for free land grants.

@inthehands I'm too dumb to figure out the UI.

@realn2s @JessTheUnstill @inthehands "ARPANET" for anyone trying to look that up.

@alter_kaker @inthehands @glightly @CptSuperlative you could get a lot of this if more sites supported MarkDown (or full html) so people could write synthesis posts with references and sources.
"I saw (this) and (that) today it made me think about (thing) like (person) did (here)."
Facebook and Twitter and their descendents only make a single link easy. So posts tend to be reactions to a single linked item. This leads to single dimensional conversations that only point up.
"(Link) is wrong!"

@inthehands @JessTheUnstill @mekkaokereke we also need to get public colleges and universities out of the "making money" business. But that's a three beer discussion.

@JessTheUnstill @mekkaokereke personally i think colleges need to get out of the business of training athletes.

@mackaj @BashStKid @Porcia @quixoticgeek it's worse than that. Raw volume isn't what needs to be delivered, energy is. H2 is 9MJ/l Methane is 55MJ/l. So you need to transport SIX times as much to get the same energy to your destination.

@selzero Opening Day tickets to this.

@emilygorcenski Sigh. I'm a test engineer. My tests have tests.
