  • YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

    Jump

  • Even if you limit it to 720p, if it were to be even a quarter as popular as youtube, the bandwith and storage requirements would still be astronomical.

    not to even mention the computational power required to process and transcode all that data from whatever format you upload it to, into whatever format the platform wants.

  • Theres a reason that youtube has no real competitor.

    because the amount of data that gets uploaded to youtube every day, every hour, is unfathomable.

    I dont even know if its possible to create a proper competitor to youtube at this point. Just from a data center/harddrive point of view alone, the amount of money would be so staggering as to be impossible for anyone but another giant evil company to have a hope at being able to afford it.

    There is no real way to compete with youtube directly.

    Only options are things that are not direct youtube competitors, Which are typically much smaller, possibly maintaining a narrow subject focus, and require monthly fees/subscriptions to access

  • New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles

    Jump

  • Electric cars existed long before the 2010s.

    Late 19th/Early 20th century had about 1/3rd of all cars on the road be electric.

    Long before lithium batteries were ever a thing.

    Also, Theres a much higher demand thanks to the modern resurgence of electric cars, for better, cheaper batteries.

    Which means that current car and battery makers have a much bigger incentive to jump on large scale miracle battery technology, than they did in the 1970s. Just like computers have much increased demand for ram today than they did in the 1970s. 🙄

  • ‘The fiscal trajectory is not sustainable’: CBO warns about the highest debt in U.S. history as Trump adds $1.4 trillion to 10-year deficit

    Jump

  • Thats okay, we're also tariffing the fuck out of everyone and alienating any and every trading partner to the point they are seeking to replace us with alternatives.

    Surely that will fix everything.

  • simple solution to fix social security, at least, is to remove the cap on contributions, so the billionaires can pay their share.

    I dont know what the fuck we're gonna do about the debt though.

    Jump

  • yep.

    SHould be a blanket ban on miraculous battery technology stories until they are actually in production and proven.

    Cause lets face it, if one of these miracle batteries using cheap, common materials with amazing capacity and longevity was real, it wouldnt take long for companies to jump on them.

  • Only time Republicans resign is when they see the shit heading for the fan, and they step out of the way to stay out of the spray.

    Which is why you see so many Republicans quitting leading up to the midterms.

    They did this because of trump.
