I don’t know about Sweden but my wife is Danish and we live in NL. The Danes have the same absolutist attitude to helmets. And, well, seeing the average Danish bicycle infrastructure I get where they’re coming from. Outside some nicer areas in the large cities it gets pretty laughable pretty fast. And Denmark likes to brag about their bicycle infra!

I’d wear a helmet in most of Denmark too.

OSHA isn't a punitive organization. That said, OSHA violations frequently convert into civil damages. This seems fairer than the government getting a check.

Also, OSHA violations aren't restricted to safety incidents. Once an incident occurs, OSHA can go back and assess fines for each violation that didn't result in an injury.

Please don't. OK, I get it now. Your point above wasn't about "peak tech" at all[1], it was about this part, which you didn't mention. I think you're wrong, FWIW, but am not going to engage.

Your recommendation would require updates to the NEC to even be considered.

As it stands today, an EV charger (or an outlet designated for EV charging) is considered to be 'in use' 100% of the time from a loading perspective (i.e., when counting how big of a main breaker you need to handle). Which, honestly, makes sense. You can't predict when other loads are being used reliably, and you can use an EV charger for many hours. For, say, during the middle of the night.. there's a high heating load so that loading will happen simultaneously.

There are more intelligent ways to handle this (and, the products exist today!), however they're quite expensive. Maybe less expensive than a full new overhaul of your house's electrical... but eventually electrical needs to be updated to code.

Also, regarding 100A vs 200A main panels: it heavily depends on the size of the house. I know in my neighborhood, which the oldest house was built in 2008, they only gave 100A panels to houses that were ~1700sqft or smaller. For larger houses, those got 200A panels.
Taking the footnote out of context makes it look sillier than it is. Here is the actual quote where the footnote was used:

> This makes the new iPad up to 5x faster than the best-selling Android tablet, and for users looking to upgrade from a device like iPad (7th generation), they will see up to 3x improvement in overall performance with the new iPad.

The footnote also mentions this immediately after your quote ends, which you presumably left out because it would have made the theme of the above quote more obvious and less confusing:

> Best-selling systems are based on publicly available sales data over the last 12 months.

If Apple clearly states they are comparing to "the best-selling Android tablet", and they do, then I don't see what the problem is. They didn't say "compared to the fastest Android tablet" and then whip out the old MT8768 or some nonsense like that. The reader is welcome to disregard the comparison, but the comparison isn't misleading.

The basic iPad has surely been Apple's best selling iPad for a long time, so that is Apple's point of comparison for this one. If they wanted to compare absolute performance against the best the Android tablet market has to offer, they would use the iPad Pro with the M2 chip, not the basic iPad.

I would also point out that anecdotally, I don't know a single person with an Android tablet that cost $200 or more. I know plenty of people with Android tablets that cost way less than $200. Most people reading Apple's comparison who have an Android tablet will be trying to understand why they should pay the premium for an iPad instead of buying another $100 tablet, and being 5x faster is a logical hook. People with a $400+ Android tablet are unlikely to be considering a basic iPad, since they've clearly already made up their mind.

Hire a person specifically for cleaning the parking lot?

Or do what everybody else does, and contract with one of those companies that comes through a couple of nights a week with one of those parking lot sweeping trucks?

The thing is, to a first approximation, nobody asks employees to go out and sweep the god-damn parking lot with a broom. This particular manager was just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. And I'm not somebody you can bully like that, because I will happily tell you to go fuck yourself and walk out. shrug

There's a reason job postings all say "And other duties as assigned"

And do you actually think that people take that to literally mean anything? Is there no task whatsoever that you would refuse to do? If so, I'd say you are a very strange person, as most people in my experience do have a line. That line is going to vary a lot from person to person, but I don't think I know a single person who would honestly say "Yes, I will do anything for my boss based on that clause in the job description."
I used to be a hardcore PC enthusiast, all windows/linux, all machines overclocked, and rooted android phones with newest ROM.

I still own an overclocked pc that is too much for my needs. However, I now use an iphone and I am recommending apple products for family. Might get a macbook myself.

I remember spending few hours on linux trying to fix my printing issues. It was fun when I was bored, today I don't have the time to deal with that shit.

Apple hardware is relatively good. I have now replaced the battery in my moms dell laptop 2 times. My wife's 5 year old macbook runs like new and battery seems good. All my android phones always had weird issues. I used pure google, samsung and custom roms, with custom roms I "get it" why it was unstable.

Apple products have much higher resale value.

Saudi Arabia hasn't really been a us ally since about 2016 when Saudi Arabia tried dumping oil price to ruin the us shale industry. Ever since the USA has been preparing to strike back. Look up the NOPEC bill. It looks like the USA plan is to charge Saudi Arabia with manipulating oil prices (being a cartel is literally the stated goal of OPEC). SA knows this and they're aligning themselves with Russia and China (with whom they're ideologically closer anyway).

Also just a comment, the dichotomy "they are free not slaves" is entirely useless to this discussion. There are countless examples from elsewhere in society of where a person isn't a slave but still has constraints on how they can earn money.

And what if you have only an incompetent authoritarian government? How would you help fight citizens of those governments? Crypto is a great tool there. Just because there are insufferable crypto-bros peddling shitcoins to make a quick buck doesn't mean entire Crypto field is useless. That'd be like blacklisting the entire data mining field because surveillance tech and adtech exist.
I think that's true for some key components of the military, but for example, anything involving AI systems necessitate cutting edge chips. You can probably look to the effect chip shortages had on car manufacturers to see how much of this likely works. Cars manufacturing wasn't entirely halted in most cases, instead they had downgraded functionality. Less automatic windows, more window cranks. The totality of every military system isn't based off high end chips, but some of it certainly is.
Yes.

Obviously, it depends on the tenant's daily commutes especially, but at today's ranges a giant median chunk of US daily commuters could fast charge only once a week and meet their commute needs easily, with no other charges in between.

Home chargers are incredibly useful and a game changer, but also destination chargers (chargers at work or grocery stores or malls or other places where cars are parked for multiple hours) are also similarly game changers. Just having one or the other reduces (and in some cases eliminates) the need for any "fast" charges. But EVs themselves don't "require" any specific charging configuration and compared to gas have more options than ever before with home and destination options.
Or how about Meta and the dozen VR studios it acquired.

This is not an accurate characterization of the Rust language developers. Neither of these features were designed as "syntactic salt!" They are compromises, made on a time budget to achieve goals which were higher priority for the project- but the door is still open to improve them. This is a far cry from "knowing better than language users," which implies that they could have simply left that syntax out while still achieving their goals. (Or worse, that their goal was specifically to annoy people...?)

For instance, they are not satisfied with the current raw pointer syntax either, as it interacts poorly with lvalue/place syntax in ways that make unsafe code harder to audit. There are regular proposals for how to improve things like `(*ptr).field` or the use of raw pointers as method receivers.

The situation with interior mutability is similar: compile-time memory safety inherently requires some limitations on programming style, but I regularly see proposals for how to improve "field projection" syntax.

> undefined behavior in Rust but not C++ (casting *mut to &mut in an unsafe block in a safe function).

The question of "syntactic salt" aside, this is simply false.
As an American this definitely seems exceptional. I grew up in rural and suburban areas without sidewalks, and biking/walking to school was unheard of. I interpreted this as just one proof by example that it could work, and as a call to arms for trying it elsewhere.

I agree there's no conclusive evidence for any specific origin of SARS-CoV-2, unnatural, natural, or otherwise. I don't see the "god of the gaps" analogy, though. There's no evidence that god exists, and attributing actions to god has no predictive or practical benefit. But there's certainly evidence that virologists exist, and were collecting and manipulating novel SARS-like viruses near the origin of a novel SARS-like pandemic. (Are you familiar with the DEFUSE grant proposal?)

So with millions dead, shouldn't we investigate? There are many paths unexplored within reach of American or European subpoena, both in the WIV's collaborators and in sequencer reads from unrelated work that may contain early viral genomes as contamination.

Good analogy but is it so crazy to think the concept of counting in a particular direction wouldn't make sense to an alien intelligence? That the way their brain processes inputs means that the knowledge of the total number occurs to them either subconsciously or as the result of parallel processing that is beyond what human brains can even imagine being aware of? Even if the input signals being counted are separated by time (e.g. pulses of light or sound), such that their brains must logically store the previous count and increment it as new signals are detected, the concept of ordered addition (i.e. where we can conceive of "x plus y" and "y plus x" as separate concepts, even if they yield the same result) might simply not be necessary or possible in an alien brain.

What even qualifies as "addition" at all is somewhat murky - e.g. "addition" of relativistic velocities is non-commutative (*), but is it meaningfully even addition in the same way adding integer counts is?

How are you supposed to know ahead of time that a place is unsafe? Cabada should have been perfectly safe where they were, but at least one safety system failed. Ultimately you can never completely eliminate danger, at best you can reduce risk below some rational threshold for failure modes you are already aware of.

And self flagellation after an accident does nothing to improve safety. Worse, it feels like you're doing something when you're not. Further, doing so right away leads to kneejerk reactions which might feel like an improvement but which are poorly suited for actually addressing the problem. The proper approach is to methodically investigate the issue, figure out what went wrong, and make appropriate, actionable changes. There is absolutely no reason to make a public announcement at any point in the process - safety is not a PR tactic.

I know there's basically no chance I'll be able to run Emacs or VS Code on this portable little device any time soon, but if I could, it'd be my main device by a long way. There's no hardware limitation preventing it, just artificial restrictions on a "pro" device.

There are a few things to note here.

First, the hacky build systems of old are increasingly unsustainable; I've seen quite a few projects migrate to things like cmake in part because not having that kind of build system just doesn't work anymore. (And you get people like Mozilla or Google who write their own build system just for their software, but the end result is the same--you've got some sort of modern-ish build system being integrated). Even at $WORK, some of our old build system stuff with confusing make rules and the like is being shifted to a (hopefully) cleaner cmake stuff, albeit far more slowly than I'd like.

Second, it's worth noting that tooling improvements can motivate change. The ur-example here is the compilation database idea Clang introduced. From what I've seen, every build system that can support it (sorry, autotools) has added information to extract this useful tool. If you can come up with similarly useful build system summary information that is useful for tooling, you're likely to see relatively swift adoption of it.

Third, C++ is already undergoing changes that will introduce build system breakages. Most notably and obviously, modules. Build systems need to adapt to support this, and if people are already making the switch to get new features, incorporating other useful tooling additions at the same time would see adoption.
It's gain of function if the virus gains any sort of function. Splicing two viruses that have different properties into one that shares at least some the properties from both, even if both of the original viruses are natural, is gain of function.
You've already presupposed that experimenting across all those scales is somehow an integral (necessary?) part of being the kind of life that we might encounter.

That could be possible, but I don't think that we can assume that.
The measure for safety shouldn't be the number of employees or the number of casualties but how preventable an accident is and what is the reason why it could not be avoided.
The moronic thing about these new "colorways" is that the company still refuses the sane default: Mostly grayish or very, very lightly tinted UI with a decently dark, contrasting tab bar. All these new themes have a lot of color outside the tab bar, but credit to Mozilla that the "soft" ones still manage more experienced contrast than their white-on-white abomination of a light theme.

Quick question if anyone knows. One of the examples there is showing the "Linear" images compared to the "Stretched" images. I'm assuming that stretched means 0-255 RGB greyscale.
