I forgot to mention this in an earlier comment, but something like this has promise: https://photosplus.app/ Basically the app connects to a B2 or AWS bucket you give it access to. The unmodified original media goes to one folder, optimized previews go in a second folder. It keeps some cache...

Unless you're not a developer and have 2 kids. Then it becomes an automatic no. Unless the audience of the article was strictly developers that could roll all this on their own, if only for lack of spare time.

Here's what I'd love. Simple web-based management on a VPS, single-click install kind of thing that gets the web front end up and running so I don't have to configure all that background stuff myself. Then, since local storage in VPS services tend to be expensive, have the option to plug in...

Productivity is the magic that powers growth, not wasteful spending. Do more with less. That's how you boost growth. Something like the SLS is just a money pit. There's no end product, there's nothing being spun out that's technologically interesting down the road because everything SLS does...

Industrial uses for oil is about 28%, at least in the US, so not really a drop in the bucket. Close to a third. Unsure globally, the US has a decently large share of global production of such things, mostly in Texas.

As an economist in the construction world, impossible here too. I've been impressed at the disruption the Texas freeze has caused. Appliances, shingles, waterproofing materials, beams (think LVL, glulam, CLT, etc), OSB and other sheathing and decking products, even windows. Things you wouldn't...

The US hasn't imported any Venezuelan oil since June 2019. The bulk of their much-diminished production goes to China.

Is that the propaganda out there? It's coming by train currently, and it'll continue coming by train, with the higher cost, emissions and much greater risk of spills that entails. And whose trains are they coming on? Trains part of the Berkshire Hathaway empire. Check out that political...

No App Store products ever leave the store. They can't leave the phone, its part and parcel of their existence. Apple has a wide range of requirements on the content inside developers apps beyond just means of being paid. For example, you're not going to find PornHub in there. Is that wrong to...

The UAW absolutely injects itself to those kind of decisions. GM can't simply pivot an entire facility, go from producing one thing to another, or shift production. No, specific jobs have to be maintained, certain volumes of work negotiated, fiefdoms protected. Which is why the funny thing...

So over $660 per taxpayer (people employed) for something that making final-mile infrastructure common carrier would fix for urban areas at zero cost, which is the secret for some places in Europe, and in rural areas something Space-X is well under way of solving for rural areas (a project...

Even the sea bed... The name 'abyssal plain' pretty well sums it up.

I'd totally click that. This being Ars, I'd expect at least an interesting explanation for the proper Pine-Sol:water ratio.

I think it's politics. To allow a narrative where a common person could reasonably conclude normalcy isn't far off indirectly makes you an ally of the alt-right. Or something. The Cold War-style logic is increasingly warped. Fact isn't just fact, you have to filter it appropriately based upon...

Moving at the speed of government. And you can tell they haven't changed their mindset at all. They don't need an "answer" to Starlink. They already lost. Better to become a subscriber then fail at copy-paste. They (the politicians) need to worry about filling potholes and other local...

Candidates for president don't pick running mates based on full agreement with a range of issues, they pick who they think might help them get elected. Trump and Pence were almost as different as you can get in a lot of fundamental areas. Throughout the Obama years, if you watched close, it...

Those who can, do. Those who can't, join think-tanks.

That'd be cute, except none of it is true. Even the left-wing Economist magazine has accepted it, yes we've only got 1st print numbers for Q4 but they look good. Also, most the people lost are out of the work force, and it's sad but it's also not an economic issue. There was a nation-level...

You're right, not bad for 259 mile range. I too was looking at used 2017 Bolts, but now I have to wonder if the fresh, longer-range battery is worth the extra $5k, hmm.

Two points. 1 - Within the OECD, the US economy has outperformed 2 - The honest if Chinese economic data is a point of serious debate within economic circles I think it's worth mentioning most, even in this left-of-center place, give NASA positive marks the last 4 years. It was a one step...
