In what way is AC safer than DC? Ohm’s law says V=IR, that means your resistive body is gonna get shocked regardless of whether the voltage is constant or changing.
Sounds to me that you for some reason got the older USB-C 3.1 / Gen 1 docks those are limited to 5gbps which means no 4K@60 the Gen 2 USB-C / TB3 docks work quite flawlessly as long as you ofc plug them into a Gen 2 or TB port…
For simple parametric CAD, use a trial of Fusion360 or Solvespace. Then 3d printing it is as simple as slice and print using something like Cura or PrusaSlicer. Plenty of tutorials for those two.

FastSpring https://fastspring.com/ and Gumroad https://gumroad.com/ are two more alternatives to Paddle you can look into. Both handle VAT for you which makes global sales so much easier (worth it in my opinion for the higher rate you pay, but that depends on your project)
I guess what I'm saying is that if someone can get half a million dollars from running off the road and hitting someone else who was at minimal fault (10%), then what's the point of any activity that exposes you to risk? Even with insurance, you end up paying a bunch of money. No point in starting a business if a driver can screw up after not obeying you and you still get sued.

"By avoiding sharp cutoffs, pure comparative negligence minimizes the risk of truly perverse results due to jury misassignment of fault"

It seems this is only true near the cutoff, and not near the margins. Just to continue on the possibility that this 10% determination was a jury mistake, that a half million dollar mistake. I'd hardly call that minimal. This case is far from the cutoffs of other states. This seems to also support my idea that the modified approach would reduce litigation, which I see as a benefit.
Suing the CPS over this is simply taking money out of everyone else's pocket for your own enrichment.
Group policies on Windows, applied at logon, give the admin control over what the user can or cannot do. If the admin wants you to use Chrome not Edge, then that is what you'll be using, and you won't be able to change the default.
That's the conclusion I tend to reach, and I believe Google to have fraudulently described a rental as a purchase. Whoever is the source of authority to run software on a device is the owner of that device. Since enabling remote management does not require administrator privilege, the right to do so doesn't come from the administrator. Since disabling remote management cannot be done by a local administrator, the granted authority is even greater than the nominal authority granted to the buyer. Each of these implies that Google remained the source of authority, and therefore didn't transfer ownership over the device.

The lawyer route makes no sense, it's all about small claims here. Sue for the cost of the chromebook, that will get someone's attention and you can likely settle it out of court or get the money to purchase a new one.

The important part here is that the computer is not usable with their software and that you have no way to remove said software despite being the owner of the computer.
> Call into the school's board meeting during public comment, and make it loud and clear that the school is installing spyware on students' Chromebooks. Share your technical credentials and the method by which you found this. Emphasize stories of previous data breaches involving educational companies [1],

This is some bad advice. No need to escalate the situation. Simply contact the sons school and find out who the technologist is and ask them for help. Explain to them the situation and I'm sure they will understand. The computer is personal so they don't want it under mobile device management.

I have some experience with schools. The school is not intentionally installing spyware. Further most public K12 organizations have IT departments are not going to be as well staffed/knowledgable as your average silicon valley tech company. So they may not know exactly how to rectify this situation. No need to berate the school board over "spyware."
Appreciate that, I didn't know about this
> "using a study done in 2022 (which we're only just out of the first quarter of) to justify basically anything, seems kind of ridiculous"

In this case, and most others, yours is the correct reaction. But sometimes you don't have a choice but to be hasty, as with rapidly-developing situations (e.g. COVID).
I was writing TypeScript, where const just means the variable is not reassigned. For instance this is valid:

Well good for Amazon then that The Federalist Society has managed to install extremely right wing and anti-labor judges over the past few decades. If there's any leeway in the law for consideration, I can tell you which way that consideration will go. Not so good for society sadly.
The flip-side is that with mandatory manpower for military adventurism, politicians and the military leaders who advise them have fewer reasons to temper their aspirations.

> Part of the problem is the narrow population from which the military recruits.

I wonder if this relates to how military service (not civilian-contractor roles) appear to have a bit of an, er, "sign your soul over and hope for the best" mechanic.

I dimly recall some event where some state was offering a "Try it for a year" promotion for their National Guard service, and the guy on it ended up being stop-lossed over to Afghanistan or Iraq.
This looks great btw - I'm not ready to move yet but this is in my plans.
I did name companies-- Cerebral and One Medical-- I just named them in a later comment. A few bonuses: BetterHelp and Noom, both rely on dubious studies of their efficacy to promote their products. 100Plus (prior to acquisition, I know less about it with its current leadership) was playing a game that was really close to insurance fraud.

They're not Theranos-level situations... that was just insane in how brazen its fraud was. But more the uBiome-type, where it's illegal or deceptive and at risk of being shut down as a result. And, not to mention, their behavior might be actually harming patients.
A theoretical computer science analog to the physics crackpots might be semi-knowledgeable people who purport to prove P vs. NP one way or the other or solve some other open mathematical question or disprove a known existing result. Quantum computing probably attracts some as well but that's a bit of an overlap with physics.

Theoretical CS is of course niche enough that it probably doesn't attract mainstream people from outside of the field, so I suppose the field has its own crackpots. I suspect mathematics would be similar except somewhat more mainstream.

Of course some day someone will probably come along and actually prove something about those open questions but claims of proofs are much more common than actual proofs.

As for crackpot things within the academia itself, computer science also has areas such as AGI that are so hard to get actual scientific results from that it might be easy to deem it as just handwaving rather than actual research. Trying to build general AI with automated reasoning and knowledge bases back in the early days may not have been exactly a crackpot idea -- if anything, it was overly optimistic about hard logic -- but it certainly wasn't realistically going to succeed either, at least in hindsight.
I like Redwood, compared to Remix it has all the required opinionated boilerplate that is required for startups. It reminds me of using the whole battery included framework such as laravel or django as opposed to spring boot / aspnet.core

If you work in big tech companies probably you would never use it as they have enough resources to build different services and have enough developers for different purposes. However if you're a solo dev for startups that wants to build MVP, it definitely reduces the amount of work needed to setup FE, BE, infra, etc. The amount of work needed to ship MVP is greatly reduced.

Of course those are all in the expense of learning the framework itself.. but props to these guys with good docs! hopefully it will gain more and more traction!
Remind me to never buy a laptop without a healthy array of dedicated external ports. This is lunacy.
To be quite honest that sounds like you problems and not laptop problems.

I have never managed to spill anything on my MacBook and I travel 24/7 and it is in prime condition.

Speaking about condition, it seems to me like you really just have to condition yourself to not place any liquid near it and always keep it in a good protective bag.
If it was me, I'd write the Chromebook off as now being solely for school use. Your child needs to log into it with their school account in order to participate and complete their schoolwork, I don't see any way around this. As soon as the school account logs in, I believe the machine is then enrolled as a managed device of your school district.

Maybe you could get the school to supply you with a Chromebook, if you really want one. Where I live this is how it works (the school supplies the Chromebook).
“The pay was too high. I didn’t know what to do with all the money”
I agree that this stuff will be orders of magnitude more efficient once we figure it out. But I think brute forcing it first and optimizing later is a fine way to do it. Maybe even the only way to make progress on a problem like this. And even in a hypothetical future where you can run human level intelligence on your smartphone, supercomputers will be that much more intelligent still, so it's not like building them will be pointless.

He absolutely live a life of luxury. He literally used to daily drive a McLaren F1. He stays around in his billionaire friends' mansions when he travels: https://observer.com/2021/12/elon-musk-staying-at-billionair...

>If anyone really thinks he is doing all this just to get rich needs to do some more research on him.

It's incredibly obvious he's doing this to be rich. He has incredibly expensive taste that goes far beyond than things like fancy yachts or private islands. He cares about money because it affords him soft power, influence, public adoration and the ability to buy things like you know... *10% of Twitter*.

He is both very well accomplished and a textbook narcissist who ties his sense of self-identity with the world's perception of him. That's why he gets incredibly defensive against naysayers and he is always pushing to "one-up" others.

So yeah, he absolutely cares about being rich because to him it's a validation of his own ego and also allows him to continue to purchase influence and power and attention.

Ah neat, thanks!
The short answer is no, unfortunately. There is a limit of two monitors per Thunderbolt port. My understanding is that this limitation lives somewhere at the DisplayPort spec level, but I don't know the specifics.

The longer answer is that you might be able to, depending on resolution/refresh. This will need both hardware and software for "DisplayLink". I've never kicked the tires on this setup, but I believe it's basically setting up a single frame buffer that will span two physical devices.

Hardware: https://www.sonnettech.com/product/m1-mac-dual-displayport-a...

Software: https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/down...

IMO it isn't very viable, especially once you're past 60hz HD resolutions, and also because the macOS drivers/software sometimes lag behind major OS releases or even point releases.

I hang a 4k@144hz and two 1440p@144hz screens off an M1 Max. It's basically one monitor per cable at that point (docking is two Thunderbolt + HDMI). One TB cable goes to a CalDigit TS3+ for power, USB accessories, and one of the 1440p monitors. The other goes straight to the 4k monitor.
Can’t you file criminal charges over this? It’s malware used to spy on minors without the parents knowledge or consent. Is the school also free to undress the kid and photograph them in person? If not, why if it’s remote?

>Please don't follow this advice. Frothing at the mouth about spyware on your kids computer will immediately be dismissed as insane ravings, and possibly get a visit from your local child safety organization.

I don't think parent described 'frothing at the mouth', and furthermore the concept of "I shouldn't speak out otherwise I may paint myself as a target for child protective services" is so subversive and nu-speak like that I don't think I can ever support it. CPS is supposed to be a social service for the support of children; not a society control and opinion-steering organization.

If parent did something publicly that'd warrant the visit, sure; but creating public awareness of the situation for the parents can be done in an orderly and respectful way -- no one suggested otherwise.
Why then must failure or adversity be learned at the childhood or "small child" age?

If the end result is to obtain coping skills, what exactly are these skills? Are they only obtainable during childhood? Are there examples of adults who lack coping skills yet had "unshielded" lives?
I mean, have you seen Downton Abbey? (Not Victorian I know, but if anything the show highlights how morals are changing from the Victorian ideals of the past).

I know it's a fictional show, but the fact that one's lot it life is largely a result of who your parents are (and to a lesser degree who you marry) would certainly point to it being a "classist" society, even if all of the classes generally agree on this hereditary status.
Yeah, a perfect example are all the people in this thread recommending Thunderbolt devices while a bunch of us sit here and type away on our Ryzen or Threadripper powered machines.

USB-C has been such a massive disappointment.
Oh, so like analogous to the polyamory notion of sharing partners, this is about sharing software/infra with other people.

To be clear, not alleging it wasn't technical. The polyamory <-> shared services thing just wasn't obvious to me since I was unfamiliar with the term.
This is with the presumption that the filtering here is device-level and not user-level. The fact that they were able to wipe and reset the device AT ALL probably means that the device isn't fully enrolled into device management (only the account is) and that the blocking and monitoring is just for that one specific account/profile. That is to say, none of the blocking is breaking the privilege rules on the system.

This isn't to give them extra credit. GoGuardian is still spyware and you should be, at the very least, wary of it if you have a kid with that software running around. But this behavior is consistent with the design of ChromeOS and isn't shocking or special if you've been paying attention to what ChromeOS has been built for over the last couple years.
Instagram does not guarantee photo quality. They can resize photos anytime they want. Eventually they turn 10 year old photos that have not been viewed in 9 years into thumbnails or just delete them.
It is a degradation of their service. They absolutely should care.
This is why I choose to be near a revenue center rather than a cost center.
In my experience it helps a lot to not think of it as an interview, but as a chat with just another coworker, and get genuinely engaged in what’s being asked.

I interviewed in most FAANG and got offers by just really engaging with the interviewers. Especially the system design rounds I found very fascinating and I treated the interviewers as if they would be my peers, challenging them (positively) when appropriate, and quickly admitting a mistake I just made.

Do those floats encode the weights of synapses? One synapse per float?
This response should be higher instead of the useless armchair lawyering :)

With GoGuardian, though, I think device level management is common? It's BYOD but it essentially becomes the district's device (and all the other accounts disabled) until you remove the managed account. It can't happen by accident, though, it tells you very clearly you're making it a managed device.

It sucks that schools are using enterprise management to monitor every thing a student does on their machine, but it's not a rootkit or something. If it's not the district's device just remove the account.
For what it's worth I wrote Python bindings using Cython for our open source C-API storage engine and the performance was fairly close to on par with C.
AFAIK, this has been possible with Azure AD for a while. I think the service on Apple's end was called something like Apple for Business and you could cut a cert from it to link to Intune (an MDM) and get pre-enrolled devices directly from Apple with single sign on.

I might also be mis-remembering this, it's been a hot minute since I've dealt with this stuff.
Looks like it went further than just a brainstorming session, because a list of words and phrases to be blocked was assembled and this is what leaked. It isn't clear whether or not they would have proceeded if there hadn't been a leak.
Cutting in line is harmful in the grand scheme of things. If everyone cuts society devolves into anarchy. It's only by policing cutters and fostering a culture of it's not okay to cut that we keep society functioning. Sure, in some cultures people still cut but we still have to push back or the society just gets worse and worse.
It's comical how your best advice is seek a lawyer. Any lawyer worth their salt would advise to contact the school directly to handle this matter. No need for a lawyer at this stage.
> The sarcastic "happy?" is maybe an indicator that this is not laid out in exactly the least emotional way, which is maybe part of the problem of clarity

You're right. having grown up in massachusetts, and having spent a good amount of time in califonia, I've grown a somewhat kneejerk reaction to liberal hypocracy. Don't get my wrong, I have no love for republican policies but Ive also developed a strong distaste for how certain liberal ideologies even with reasonably sound ideas at their core, percolate to the more fringe leaves of the masses.

case in point, the notion of white privilege.

Root idea:

historical exploitation (to put it mildly) has created a system of inequality that exists to this day and largely privileges certain groups of people while disadvantaging others. We need to understand where we are in that place so that we can take steps to dismantle those institutions and create more equitable opportunities for people.

What well meaning idiots end up spouting at the edge (and yes I've heard such things come out of white people's mouths):

white people are all racist and toxic and should be sorry for existing.

And a more direct comparison, take the notion of toxic masculinity:

root idea: Societal expectations of boys are rooted in an imperative for boys to be behave in ways that are maladaptive. certain traits we define as masculine such as aggression, can result in behaviors that are deplorable. Its imperative for a healthy society to create a definition of masculinity thats rooted healthy positive behaviors and to accept traits that we associate with femininity as well in order for an individual to be emotionally "whole." Part of this means redefining roles for men taht embrace the good qualities of masculinity (healthy competitiveness, jovial pride, brotherhood and a modicum of stoicism) while avoiding the negative traits, (entitlement, tribalism, blaming others for ones failiures)

* What well meaning zealots end up spouting at the edge

"kill all men." "toxic masculinity bad mmkay" "I drink male tears"

Now to answer your question about why I bring up far right to a story about suicide. Its all connected. People express mental anguish differently. Some of the kids going though difficulty right now will get through it and find their way to a healthy adulthood. Some people, seeking an outlet to justify their feelings will join groups promoting maladaptive behavior in a desperate bid to feel part of an in group. This is where I make the connection to the tiki torch groups. Others sadly take the quick path out the metaphorical door.

Now you might ask, Why do I care so much about what fanatics at the edge think? Its because they are the straw man talking heads like tucker carlson push when trying to make their own regressive agenda seem like the sane choice. Its ultimately counterproductive towards the very ideals we should be working towards as a society.

anyways, props to you if you get this far down. Hope it clarifies my point
> This would also need to investigate contributory negligence. For example, the sidewalk may have been safe for the legal uses of the sidewalk but dangerous for the illegal use of scooters.

One could argue that it is not about legal use, but the expectations of use. Is it reasonable to expect people to ride scooters and bicycles on sidewalks regardless of legality? In this case, the rider could sue the city and the city could then sue the manufacturer of the scooter for making a dangerous product and causing the city harm.

However, Did the city approve use of and leasing of scooters? If so, why did they do this knowing that they may not be able to maintain the sidewalks and roads to a level that is safe for these types of vehicles? Personally, I do not allow my children to ride scooters because the wheels are too small in diameter to handle basic potholes, concrete heaving, roots etc.
The surprising part to me is that the school district let parents bring their own Chromebooks. Where I live the school supplies the Chromebook for the students. If your child breaks it, they bill you for the cost of the unit and then supply another one. IMHO, they are pretty dang cheap.

Well whatever common sense and humanity I thought existed in Russia obviously isn't a thing. The west really needs to intervene before there's millions (or tens of millions) dead Ukrainians. Literally watching genocide unfold in front of our eyes and doing nothing.
