No, it’s not. That means those who are born after 2050 are guaranteed to witness a catastrophic climatic event in their lifetime… Those could well be my grandchildren (if they’re ever born). I’m already suggesting my son not to have kids in the future, if things don’t radically change.

Tipping point of the AMOC: 2025 to 2095 with 95% confidence levels.

Thank you!

Didn’t know this artist, thanks! Is it me or there’s some John Singer Sargent influence in this painting?

Name is actually “Joan”, not “Juan”. It’s the Catalonian version of “Juan”.

This is one of the best options, specially if you finished studying, or are an older person. You’ll be surrounded by people that share an interest in similar things as you.

Because the ones in power make a lot of money from the way things work, so they’re constantly convincing most of the people that there’s nothing wrong with the way things are going.

Exactly.

By the year, I think this was before there was even an App Store (first generation iPhone was launched at the end of June, 2007). Jobs really believed in web apps, but the original iPhone had no power to handle them correctly, and a lot of the APIs that we have now were unthinkable at the time. I was just trying to be funny, really. :P

Steve Jobs in 2007:

The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. And so, you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone. And these apps can integrate perfectly with iPhone services. They can make a call, they can send an email, they can look up a location on Google Maps.

And guess what? There’s no SDK that you need! You’ve got everything you need if you know how to write apps using the most modern web standards to write amazing apps for the iPhone today. So developers, we think we’ve got a very sweet story for you. You can begin building your iPhone apps today.

Admit it, the man was a visionary… XDDDDD

Just in case: /s

Thanks!

I’m the same. I would love to see a stream of this guy painting, to see his process. But I guess it would be a very long stream… :D

I believe the OLED was actually going to be the Switch 2 (or Pro), but the pandemic made them change plans.

The chip market went bananas, and it was impossible to produce some chips at volume and at competitive prices.

They probably decided to wait a bit, and evaluate alternatives and probably dedicate more time to R&D.

Whatever they do, as long as it is compatible with the Switch, I’ll be happy. It’s one of the best game libraries they’ve had in a long time.

So, you’re telling me in the US you can move a million dollars in a transaction and no one will bat an eye? Holy money laundering, Batman! :O

Edit: Btw, this reminds me of a guy that was doing crypto transactions from unknown origin (and not huge quantities, in the thousands) and had his accounts frozen by the bank because authorities wanted to investigate where the money was coming from. But I think he was in the UK. I’m amazed that you can move money that easily in the US…

A human would get involved to verify the sale

And probably, more than one. When you start moving large amounts of money, a lot of people start paying attention: banks want to know why you’re taking that money away from their institution, tax agencies want to know if you’re paying the taxes you’re supposed to, and security agencies want to know if everything is legal and you’re not involved in something fishy.

So, if you actually have the money and the transaction is not immediately rejected as an error, you are probably going to be asked a few questions. Unless you’re someone who regularly deals in such things. Bank have ways to detect unusual types of transactions from an account.

If you don’t have the money, it’ll probably just be classified as an error.

Wonderful! The mouth is simply fantastic. And you can clearly see that he draw most of the head shape with umber or a similar color. Really interesting.

“I swear, it’s just one more road. One more and that’s it. Promise!” XDDDD

For all I’ve read, the lack of public transportation in US cities (or the badly managed ones) is by design, influenced on politicians by the car industry lobby.

I guess it’s the same for zoning laws? I’ve no idea, and I’m probably not exactly true, as I’m stating a huge generalization. The US is so big and diverse that there may be places with good public infrastructure.

But in a broader sense, it seems that the car lobby played a big role in how cities were designed and run.

Homicide at the zoo, maybe?

No, you’re confusing Mac with iOS. Mac allows whatever you want. Each browser has its own rendering engine. iOS is the one that only allows (for the moment) Webkit. But that’s going to change (at least in Europe). Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines#Support
