I had a friend whose block heater shorted out while the car was in his garage. He was alerted by a smoke detector, went out in his PJ's, opened the garage door, and pushed the car outside, whereupon it burst into a pillar of flame.

He noticed significant tingling in his feet while pushing the car out. This was in the days before GFCIs. He's lucky he wasn't electrocuted.

In the case of land, no, competition drives attempts to curtail supply, in which case the value goes up further.

Thank you for the advice. I will check those out!

For me, the challenge isn't really lack of knowledge of B2B sales (I do a fair bit of it in my day job) but rather lack of time. Prospecting and qualifying leads tends to be very time-consuming, and neither of us can dedicate ourselves to it since we both have day jobs. But I think you're right that our focus should be to expand our client base a bit more before looking to raise money.

PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) [0] [1] [2] 1/2 is what was given to restaurants in the US during the shutdown due to COVID and the to support resteraunts now operating at 50% capacity; they have stipulations (most of it had to be paid as payroll) that many accountants have never encountered before and will likely require assistance to ensure they qualify for forgiveness.

Don't younger (hence less experienced) drivers generally have more accidents? If this is true, isn't it more evidence that Tesla's safety features are helpful?

The purpose of the AWS Console, AFAICT, is:

(2) To drive everyone else as quickly as possible to the APIs/CLIs/SDKs.
When I do a "retro style" game, I draw everything to a reduced size bitmap and then scale that up (without interpolation) when I render to the screen for nice chonky pixels.

Of course then I'll probably get complaints about the palette size, or the lack of per-scanline sprite limitations...!

Some commentators seem to think that this is an official Lego set. This is a user-contributed idea that is not in any way endorsed by Lego itself. It would first need popular support and then acceptance by Lego before it became an official set.
> ...You realize you can do 90% of those usecases on your own hardware, with your own tools, within your own infratructure, with complete visibility into every bit without Amazon right?

This statement is a red herring. People don't flock to AWS because they want to use lambdas. Lambdas are adopted by AWS customers who already have their data in S3 or DynamoDB and/or already use one of AWS message brokers, and happen to stumble on a requirement for a background that runs asynchronously in response to an event, such as someone uploading a file to a bucket.

When that usecases pops up, the decision process consists of either adding a brand new service to be ran on ECS, add a background task on a service already being developed, or simply write the event handler and deploy it somewhere for AWS to run without us bothering about scaling and maintaining stuff. Writing and deploying the handler is an order of magnitude simpler to deploy and maintain, which happens to win over some technical discussions.
Transactions are broadcasted well before they are included in a block, so we'd know immediately if it happened.

> I can't be the only one who feels like shit after mostly only eating fast/junk food for prolonged periods of time?

You kind of start to forget it that it's the food which is causing this, specially when there are other factors which also contribute to your negative feelings, like the problems poverty or mobbing cause if they are present for too long. Then the junk food begins to be something comforting, even though it really drags you down into a vicious circle.

I really wish that added sugar would be taxed so heavily that people start to limit their intake, or seriously think about not feeding it to their kids since it's too expensive.

I don't want to be a manager (I don't care about dealing with salaries and such). I'm a tech lead.

I care mostly about the personal growth of my team, I firmly believe that if I help them be the best they can be, the world will be a better place (even if it means losing some of them because they realize they want to do something else, the world will still be a better place).

This means sometimes giving advice, sometimes teaching, and sometimes getting out of the way and let them do their thing (even let them fail, and help them learn from the failure).

The scope goes beyond technical advice, I help them frame problems, think about what they want and what they really care about, it's a mixture of counseling and a typical tech lead.

The trick is doing it without making it forced or weird. It took a lot of exploration of my own emotional state, being able to empathize a lot, and allow myself to be vulnerable. This helps building strong, honest connections that I truly think get the best out of people.
It's true, there could definitely have been confounding factors and I wish there was a better record than their memories. I remain personally convinced due to knowing and trusting the involved parties, but agree that the anecdote doesn't (and shouldn't) carry much weight as objective evidence.

This seems like something which privacy researchers might be interested in, and wouldn't be too difficult to run - I wonder if anyone here can point us towards any more formal experiments that have been run on this?

Edit: The more I reflect, the more difficult the experiment seems to be. How does one recruit for an experiment, contact and instruct participants, etc., probably via surveilled email or messaging platforms, without creating data linking participants to one another?
Yes, we know next to nothing about nutrition/metabolism, except that people are different. But...

Have you tried varying your eating regime?

1000 Cal is a very large deficit. AIUI large Calorie deficits will cause your basal metabolic rate to slow down, and so will long intervals between meals. Your low resting heart rate may be related to a slow basal metabolic rate - one normally only sees 45 bpm in dedicated athletes. Low BMR might mean your deficit is not actually a deficit. (But this is a very weakly reasearched area.)

If I were you and wanting to lose weight, I'd try for a daily deficit no greater than 200 Cal (averaged over a week), and eating your daily allotted Calories in four or five small meals spaced a few hours apart. (But, of course, this regime might not work for you either.)

I haven't deliberately tried this regime, but I have seen it repeatedly recommended on bodybuilding fora. (And thinking about it, it's approximately what I am doing.)

Getting a job in which I stand for nine hours per day (with mild upper body exercise) and am more or less forced to follow that eating regime has resulted in me losing about 7.5% of my body mass over three months. Fat loss will be higher since I have put on some muscle mass in that time.

I now consume a little more sugar (in diluted electrolyte drinks) than I did before I started.

I'd also note that cycling seems to be ~ 20x lower energy cost per mile than walking. You'd be better off driving to work and adding a mile to your daily walk in the time saved.

Edit to add: a hikers' rule of thumb (based on US Army research) is that an extra pound on your feet increases energy expenditure by 5%. Wear heavy boots when walking.
No one can seriously argue that C's language design was inherently advantageous over, say, Pascal. If Lisp, ML, Simula, Algol, or Ada received the amount of optimization and porting investment that C did, history would be very different.

C succeeded because a.) Unix, and b.) there were a zillion platforms with a zillion different compilers that could process something like C. They all did weird things and you couldn't actually write portable code for decades, but you could kind of fake it.

That depends on how you define younger. Not many teenagers can afford a Tesla though so in this case younger probably means mid 30s to early 40s. That largely removes very inexperienced drivers and the elderly.

> So is the solution to avoid Lambda unless you have to? Don't use it to build regular software, just use it for AWS glue when necessary?

That, and also offload some somewhat computationally expensive background tasks. Instead if screwing up your deployments by ramping up CPU and memory utilization to run a one-off task, just let he service fire a lambda and, if needed, just act when the lambda replies back.

We need a human driver or some other mechanism for the car to have propelled itself into the tree. A human driver seems the most likely solution but others are of course possible.
Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of people in the burbs living an idilic life of winding roads and manicured lawns just the same as the people who enjoy rural, small town, or city life but there’s a huge group of people who are forced via their life circumstances to go to where there’s work and where they can afford.

> I think there is some level of societal interest in preventing displacement,

Why?

‘Historic populations’ is a euphemism for Black in most cases.

In most large cities I’ve lived in, there is typically a section of town plagued by bad schools, high crime, bad infrastructure, and crumbling residences, and it is usually monoethnic.

Why is this a good thing?

It seems that whites in the more affluent areas and suburbs are willing to throw a lot of money at these ‘historic’ populations so that the residents won’t move to their side of town.

Kinda perverse.

‘Ethnic’ neighborhoods in large cities are quaint. Sometimes they become tourist attractions.
But, in large part, many are simply ghettos and the faster the ethnicity is integrated into the larger housing market, the better for everyone.

You are right, they were around. They didn't exist with the capabilities or simplicity they do today though. Rails is also benefitting from performance improvements to Ruby, most recently.
The problem is the equipment to fight a petrol / diesel fire is already covered by most fire departments. Oil fires are common in commercial and industrial areas. Levying those users of petrochemicals would likely result in a fairly insignificant cost per user, such that the bureaucracy cost to collect would end up costing more. Thus it makes sense to pay for this from general government funds. The same if we extended it to wood and paper.

Large Lithium fires are fairly uncommon right now, they don't behave like most other classes of fires that firefighters are dealing with. Personal device fires are more common, but total heat / damage is less and the fire is frequently able to be controlled outside of confined areas (aircraft).

With a relatively low volume of large lithium battery packs, and the difficulty in containing them, it could make sense for a targeted levy to cover the cost. Lithium car fires are currently dealt with by trying to isolate the burning vehicle and overwhelming the fire with water (removing Oxygen and temp), however this is very inefficient. I have heard of a former fire chief arguing that to deal with the growth of large battery packs will require either massively increasing the number of appliances (fire engines) or defaulting fire appliances to using special foams as opposed to water. The foams will increase the cost to fight ALL fires, as many engines typically have to be ready pre-mixed before dispatch.

It has also been suggested that density limits, and battery packs be designed to include fire suppression and make this mandatory to allow vehicles on the road. This would create massive packaging issues for every EV company, add significant cost while reducing performance. All in all I think we need to consider if we charge the EV / household battery pack companies for this or we all bare it in general taxes for the environmental benefits. I think bearing it out of general funds is completely reasonable, however I wonder if we are going to get safer batteries if we pass on the cost and let the rate go down as the number and severity of fires decrease. The might be some marginal improvements that quickly get implemented in that case.
One drawback of having your own hardware that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that it sucks when something breaks. Then you have to go pick up your server, figure out what's broken, order new parts, install it and then take it back to the co-lo.
I'd be wary of going with a customer/inventor, you might end up building a solution too tailored for them that you can't resell easily; and there are conflicts of interest for them.

Given the growth you're having organically on just two people and not that much time, I'd try to keep on your own a little bit more rather than searching for investors. That will take time, and hiring more people will also take even more time. Maybe it's worth it to put that time into getting new clients, knowing the market (i.e., what's your upper limit, what companies you can't reach, etc) and maybe growing revenue so when you do take investors and hire more people you're closer to breaking even.
How do you qualify a feature being important enough for the product?

In the end, all of this boils down to money/market share.
Just to knit pick a bit, if you were to dig deep into capitalism or socialism or anarchism, you would see those are explorations of the human condition. Politics then is drama woven around that. Maybe I'm being overly poetic. My point is that those concepts and phenomena that are sometimes so hotly debated are not somehow inherently adverserial or tainting, for the lack of a better word. There's no such thing as a dangerous idea, only a dangerous reaction. If a man owns up to every reaction, nothing imaginary has power over him.

The tool does not work very well on very low quality videos (maybe ORB is not the best feature extractor for that). However, theoretically, it should work.

Detecting laser/mouse pointers is a different story though.
