I recently sued my health insurance company in small claims court and won. They claimed my out of network costs were above the norm. The insurance company tried all kinds of tricks trying to get the case thrown and delaying. Took me four trips down to the courthouse but finally got them in front of a judge who knew they were full of shit and sided with me.
The people who denied your insurance claims were literal criminal who need to be arrested and jailed. If their local municipalities don't prosecute on your own, you're [almost certainly] legally entitled to make a citzen's arrest with as much force as necessary to bring the criminal fraudsters denying your assets to justice..
I’m not convinced we want significant seasonal storage as a separate system because depth of discharge impacts battery lifespan.

So rather than having a singe battery doing nothing for 364 days a year and getting used one day you have a battery bank which gets discharged slightly more 1 day a year and recovers that deficit over some time period.

For redundancy reasons you want excess generation capacity should something happen which would most of the time allow for a full charge soon afterwards.

PS: individual wind locations also tend to get more power on specific time of the year which can offset seasonal issues.
Harsher penalties are vastly inferior in all cases to simply making a crime impossible or inconvenient or not have much payoff.
In my part of the US, anyway, you can contract with an answering service at a cost much lower than the cost of phone service. Some even only charge for the actual minutes they spend talking to people on your behalf.
There are insurance providers in the UK that fit black boxes that work using GPS to check you are following the speed limit. They offer you a lower rate if you obey the law. There are numerous cases of this technology not working and people's policies being cancelled as a result. You couldn't ever attach a limiter to such a system, it would be far too dangerous.
> As with much of society, corporate America does not reward hard work so much as it rewards opportunism — the ability to show you’re useful, even if that “usefulness” isn’t necessarily about being good at your job.

This is the key. Even before the pandemic, the ones valued the most in many jobs are the who show up every day. Sure, there may be some well payed rockstars with moments of genius, but that is largely a myth. The ones who get promoted to leadership are the ones who put in the most time. They don't have to to be good, just willing to play the part all day, every day.

That is what forces management into this productivity performance. They got where they are by "putting in the time," so they are expected to maintain or grow the charade while simultaneously using is their prime metric to measure their reports. This combined with whatever pathological drive made them work so much, leads to bad management.
Yep, it can be done right. I’ve been in a team where we had more services than people yet most of the services were just chugging along with little to no maintenance (thanks to most being in a monorepo with few dependencies so the spam of dependencies getting out of date was manageable).

It was a constant uphill battle though, my time was largely spent on trying to prevent the creep of services born out of trying to enforce Conway’s law rather than to contain it’s impact. When people put in the effort of shaping the team/organization around the most optimal architecture rather than shaping out the architecture to fit the organization, it works out rather nicely and yields good productivity and an efficient system. Luckily at the time even ICs like me had enough sway to keep things at check.

Let me tell you about the Counter-Strike 1.6 Beta update in 2002...

But yes, you are otherwise correct. That said, I argue that Valve has done an overall good job providing value to their users and even developers.

the camera always being out makes me as deeply uncomfortable with this as i was with Glass.
I can ship one out to you if you'd like.
It's not a job I'd do either for a few reasons, principally marginal physical disability; something many tradesmen acquire and learn to live with, but to which I was essentially born.

That said, if the job is so attractive to young people (I'm guessing primarily men), then why do you think that not much has changed in the intervening decade?

Tim Cook has done his supply-chain job and needs to move along. Not sure why investors aren’t pushing for this. I was listening to the recent earnings call and when he says things like “super excited” he couldn’t sound more monotonously unexcited. Jony Ive would have made a great CEO and figurehead.
The idea of my agent and Google's customer service agent babbling at each other in endless futility and failing to solve a problem that two humans could solve together in 15 minutes is a dystopian hell. But it will be celebrated as a wonderful productivity boost because no humans will be on a phone call.
Yes. That is why no one has purchased a Switch since the beginning of the year.
Natural language isn't superior to computer languages. NL allows you to describe a software concept in a computer language and framework neutral way. The LLM generates the code. The real benefit is when you work across languages and frameworks. It is difficult to keep all of the details of all of the framework calls in your head all of the time.

I'm earnestly surprised that the compatibility efforts GOG has went through on so many titles hasn't made playing most, if not all, of those old titles playable through WINE. So many of the old DirectDraw / legacy DirectX games have been made capable to play by translating to DirectX 9 that I would imagine WINE would work swimmingly in those cases. I imagine though that you've put in the legwork to try and get those to work though, so I trust your experience, but my surprise remains all the same.
>Ah yes, a study made on six patients. Very science, fits the pattern.

Still a highly non trivial result.

“AI relies on clinical imaging.1 In low-income countries, where specialist care may be lacking”

How does that invalidate the paper ?

No disagreement in substance but I want to stress that the things you mention are all by different entities. The EU is basically a meta government (supranational organisation) with the commission playing the role of government and ministries, accompanied by a parliament and the council of member state ministers/heads of state as upper house, and then various agencies and bodies you'd also expect to see nationally.

EU would be when there's a final legislation, before that it is largely proposals (commission) or individual instituripns' views (parliament or council) and often various other entities are also cited as 'eu' positions even when they only represent a certain position/role or often even are just lobbies (BusinessEurope for example).

All this just to say that often what is given as an "EU view" is not actuall a consensus but a proposal or negotiating position.
Unfortunately I am not particularly talented nor famous, just a run of the mill code-monkey who thinks to be better than the others (but objectively that's most likely not right).

Even though I am very interested in moving to the US, realistically that will remain only a plan.
Oh I missed that. Its more than I expected from a "small" prototype blimp.
For me it'd be a big deal as FSR1 looks awful and FSR2 looks bad - the whole "decoupling render resolution from output resolution" is a delusion for trying to push current GPUs to do things they are not really capable of doing. In 10 years we'll be looking back and make fun of how smeary, ghosty and blurry everything was.
The irony of this being a youtube video is not lost on me.
Automattic's product catalogue kind of comes across as an elephant graveyard of formerly important services well past their prime, so this doesn't seem terribly surprising.
"Must" seems to be just a typo, no elaborate joke or anything.

I hacked an X11 window manager to take a command line argument telling it which window id to treat as the root window, then ran xcalc, discovered its window id with "xwininfo" or some such utility, then ran the window manager on the calculator, putting window frames around each of the calculator's buttons, so you could resize them, move them around, open and close them to icons, etc! That was a truly customizable calculator.
Thanks for sharing with me. The first two are pre trump, I don't remember them back then but they're well written compared to the articles I usually see shared from it, however the last one has nothing to do with women and is from 2019, it's not something I'd look for on the site. The first one seems like a retraction for was the gang rape real, and I'll admit the articles are better written but they don't go anywhere. I could have skipped most of the article for the information it gave me.

How did you use the site? I used to read Lifehacker looking up stuff until around 2009 but gawker was bad way before it became clickbait farms.
I think this might help explain that ;-)

Publicly traded companies also don’t have to increase profit margins. They generally do, but so do privately traded companies.
Perhaps his reasons for those votes are as valid as the reason for this one.
You do realize electric and drive by wire is completely orthogonal to the point here right? There are plenty of electric conversion kits for older vehicles that are "dumb", no internet connection and only enough intelligence to manage the battery and motor.
BTW, in the quest to find out how other popular languages deal with this problem, I discovered that things can actually be even worse than Python. Enter JavaScript (Node.js)!

In JavaScript, you cannot distribute pre-built native modules, only source code. And if it compiles, then it compiles, and if it doesn't -- it's the user's fault.

Similar humbling experience for me a couple of decades ago. I made a mistake when programming the toolpath to cut a large aluminum part on our Haas VF-3SS machine. I didn't know about a bug in the CAM software and trusted the simulator.

The machine plunged into a large block of aluminum at full rapid speed with a 1 inch rougher end-mill. It then proceeded to run the cutting program, again, at full rapid rate. The sound it made is something that I will never forget. This thing was churning aluminum like it was butter. It was literally turning it into goo, not cutting it at all. It did not care one bit. The cutter was large enough and stubby enough that it did not break.

These things are fast enough that, by the time your shocked brain is able to respond it could have killed and dismembered you five times before you can even think of slamming the e-stop button.

The end-mill came out with a ball of aluminum, 2 inches in diameter, permanently welded to it. It was one of the scariest industrial accidents I've been around. Thankfully the enclosure and rigidity of the machine made it so that the only consequence was aluminum that looked like churned butter.

Years later I worked with an aerospace client who uses stir welding to assemble rockets. Same process, except you are doing it on purpose and with controls. The idea is that stir welding preserves the metallurgical properties of the material, whereas TIG/MIG welding might not preserve properties important to the design.

To echo your other comment, since that happened I learned to never trust CAM software or simulations, always run it on air first and, if necessary, machinable wax blocks. Decades later, I still don't consider myself a machinist at all. I am pretty decent at it. It's a complex art that requires time and dedication. I do too many other things to be that guy. I do have a VF-2 and a Bridgeport knee mill (full manual still) in my garage though...
I see, your point was more a technicality on the legal reason for the charge.

I think the GPs point was not what the charge was, but the reason the person was charged in the first place. Technically the charge may have been harassment, but in reality it was gender politics reasons - it's unlikely a harassment charge would have been laid if the accuser were not a trans person here. The reason this was highlighted was the concept of how other digital laws could be abused in a similar manner.
Also more expensive, i pay 10/month for a dedicated watch, and i can still make 3rd part apps for it, i can't do that with humane as far as i can tell and don't really want to put it on my shirt like this.

Only real differentiator is maybe the real time translation, but that's not a frequent use case and i think i can take my phone out for that with google translate as needed.

It's too bad, love new hardware, this isn't it for me at least with that price and functionality.
The pass rate for law readers (apprentices) is lower than those who completed law school (20% pass rate vs 80%).

The law reader program requires an undergraduate degree and 3 years of apprenticeship under a supervising attorney, so it doesn't save time vs law school. It only saves money.

A small number of people undertake and complete the law reader program in VA. Likely because it's not viewed as a good value - if you complete law school, but fail the bar, at least you still have a post-graduate degree (that's generally viewed favorably in general).

But, IANAL or expert in this program, just interesting the different options to get into a law practice.
Which is because it is extremely rude, like meanest of meanest, to not share food with each other. Like, of all mean but not illegal things you can do to contractors, not sharing food is probably what people consider the worst. Small every day things are way more provocative than abstract things like retirement funds or whatever.

So to be clear, I do not recommend that you use the rustc provided by Debian for general development. But if that’s what you want to do, by trying to mix a rustc from Debian with packages from the general ecosystem, it is going to be the worst of both worlds. I would ignore crates.io if I were trying to do what you’re trying to do. You’ll have less access to packages overall, and be using older versions, but they’re at least known to work with each other and that specific rustc version.
Unfortunately, the regulators (NHTSA) are inches away from mandating cellular be added to cars (if they haven't already pulled that lever).

I had no view either way until reading this thread, and seeing that many adults used the site, which it seems did nothing illegal. Their greatest sin it seems was allowing humans to connect with one another. Something that’s increasingly seen as a danger that requires government intervention into.

If people could go back in time, we would never have public education because “it attracts predators and facilitates child victimization!”

See how stupid that is?
The onedrive integration is one of the most annoying things about windows for me right now. Not just the constant nagging, nor the "Adverts" pasted over my computer, but one day I woke up and something had decided to move all my documents to a new "onedrive" folder, despite never signing up for anything. (Or at least "asked me" in some super easy to miss clickthrough)

This naturally broke a stack of apps and scripts,and my expectations. And as explorer seems to do some magic to make it /look/ like everything is in the same place, but then causes inconsistency with other ways of accessing folders, breaks decades of learned experience on how the model of files and folders work.

And this was still on windows 10 - at least if there's an upgrade migration you /expect/ some things to work a bit differently, and then have the option of not upgrading if that behavior is important. But what's the point of having "versions" if you just backport all the breaking changes anyway?
Since they didn't take external investment, that's impossible.
Democrats have been the party of government mandates for some time now, typically under the justification “everyone should give up some freedoms, because otherwise a few people might be harmed”.

The real surprise is that AOC voted against it, along with a sole other democrat whose name escapes me.

The only exception to this pattern I’m aware of is in the abortion debate, but only under the worldview that unborn children aren’t people (not the time or place to make any claims one way or another about that, just saying it how it is).

I'm Guilherme, currently I work as a back-end developer with a degree in Software Engineering. I have a deep appreciation for seeing a "status 200" after completing an API, but I also enjoy the art of creating a beautiful front-end. My quest for growth extends beyond just programming; I am committed to evolving in areas like leadership and management, as I believe a good software engineer should be versatile and understand the full spectrum of software development. What truly motivates me is problem-solving. I believe it's in challenging situations that we learn and grow the most. I'm looking forward to bringing my passion for programming and my thirst for learning.
Directional speakers exist and are very effective actually. Whether this device is using one, I have no idea.

Look, I get it, it’s fun to pretend that you’d have an excuse to drive like Tom Cruise but that kind of thing doesn’t matter in real life. If you need to get to the hospital, the limiting factor is traffic and safety: you can’t go faster than the guy ahead of you and the things which could save you time are things like running lights which have a high risk unless you live somewhere with no cross traffic and excellent visibility. In most cases, the time you save is likely to be less than you save by not parking when you get there and less than you’d save by having an EMT drive them in a vehicle which has both legal permission and lights & sirens to get traffic out of the way.
Not to mention that voice based Q&A has been done by everyone at this point. Should have focused on the differentiators they have with that form factor.

Good, good. I have two gaming desktops and don't need it. What I need is something like the Legion Go. Not for gaming, mind you. Reading. A laptop is too big, a phone too small. I think it hits the spot real nice and people managed to get Linux working on it right away, which was to be expected. I wonder how much it weighs without the joypads
Fair point, but the "paycheck" example was an analogy around an account being opened in your name, and a poor one.
No, it's malice. No one who gets into such a position can be that unaware. Malice comes in small ways too, not caring how your shitty design impacts people is a form of malice.
GPS is notoriously terrible inside cities with tall buildings and when you have overlapping roads, nearby roads with vastly different speed limits and so on. This would lead to way more accidents.

In my part of the US west coast, if you need to have two dental crowns done, it's cheaper to fly to Taiwan and have it done there than to have it done locally.

As a bonus, the quality of care and materials will be much better and the dentist may even actually apologize for having to charge you at all.
