I think another big part of it is that DC switches tend to get expensive above 12V. Cheap AC switches work fine at higher voltage, because the arc is self-extinguishing as it passes through zero twice per cycle, but DC doesn't do that so you can end up with an arc that doesn't extinguish itself, which, aside from not turning the thing off when you want to, burns out the electrical contacts.

I'll argue a point I don't really agree with, namely that in this case bribes are fair.

Coiuntries are sovereign. Foreigners don't decide, that's a key outcome of the thirty years' war. So if you go to X, the polite, proper, non-imperialist thing is to follow accepted custom.

Of course, that raises the question of what "accepted custom" means. It's not clear to me that bribing is really accepted in the countries where it's a custom, widely accepted, rather than being something people do reluctantly.

> finding that the egg suppliers had exported eggs to cut supply in the US market, as well as limiting the number of hens, reducing flocks and killing chickens earlier than they usually did.

It was sufficient proof to convince a full jury, which makes them guilty of price fixing. They can certainly appeal, that's how the court process works. It's how all trials in the US work.

Also, I have to take issue with the insinuation that these egg producers are the underdogs with a small business budget for lawyers themselves. They're the largest egg producers in the US with billions of dollars worth of assets.
In other words, they contract production and stimulate demand at the same time and then wonder why prices are rising. Humans are just... beautiful.

You assume "slight undercut" => "gobbled up market share" but this is hard to substantiate.

Any grocery store in the US will show you examples of name-brand products next to slight-undercut store-brand alternatives where many people continue to buy the name-brand one, despite the price difference being super obvious every time the purchase is made. Real markets aren't econ 101.

Prices go up much more easily than they go down. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/priceratchet.asp In many markets consumers aren't perfectly evaluating the options from scratch on every single purchase with price the only factor, and a company doesn't want to have to accept a drop in price any more than an employee wants to have to accept a salary cut. So prices go up much more easily than they go down, since they can get forced up but require someone to take a gamble to get them to start moving down.

I've found it to be nearly unusable. The opaque firmware generation is an anti-feature IMO. It also doesn't fucking work. If you change the config, you have to force a full clean and rebuild or you'll get a corrupt image. Building an esp firmware image from scratch takes several minutes every time you want to change a config.

All of the provided controls are bad. It's incredibly difficult to get it on the network. The documentation is laughable.

It took me three hours to get a simple RGB strip working. All it had to do was drive three PWM signals. The esp has hardware specifically for that. It took a lot of effort to even find out how to use the LEDC hardware, much less how to assign a pin and hook it to the color picker.

I also wanted to hang an IR LED off it to control my TV and such. No sort of configurable button panel, you get one giant widget per action.

I did eventually get it working, but honestly it would have been so much faster to just write my own firmware to talk to HA directly.

I think my electromechanical synth is way more interesting. It's a coat rack with 2 strings with stereo pickup, and played using a rotary magnetic bow, which is an Open Sound Controlled drone motor with a 3D printed wheel with an arrangement of magnets. Only the spinning magnetic field of the bow touches the strings. It is played by subtly controlling the velocity of the wheel. I call it an electroduochord.

Here's a set I played with it.

The last time I saw John, he was talking at a Mathematical Sciences Research Institute donor dinner. I was audience filler, after consulting on "A Beautiful Mind". He was describing games from his book with Berlekamp, and needed some fresh meat to play him in front of everyone. No one budged. The director gave me a certain look, and I volunteered. One of those "sticks on paper" games that never interested me, I was slaughtered. It all went very fast, some in the audience thought I had actually won a game counted against me. I got the biggest laugh when trying to outrun a certian loss, I enlarged the game board.
>In the case of baked beans, you will always have Heinz. You might have one other choice, depending on the supermarket brand. Often the other choice is cheap, and nowhere near as tasty.

So why isn't there a brand that's cheap and tasty? Does Heinz have some sort of proprietary bean tech that others can't replicate? Is there a fundamental trade-off between tastiness and price?

It tells us that Tesla shipped early, perhaps too early in the development process, and that Tesla was willing to do a lot of replacing. The former doesn't surprise me.

Many ICE cars have several electric motors, e.g. to lower/raise the windows. Why would you expect the electric motors in an EV to behave like the ICE rather than the electric motors in an ICE in terms of maintenance requirements? "Expect replacement after x hours of operation" etc.
It doesn't appear that this is the case, at least for now; while simple "disregard previous instructions and do X" attacks no longer work as well, it still doesn't seem to be that difficult to get out of the box, so there are still security risks with using LLMs to handle untrusted data.
It's also why you need redundancy.

The board met but didn't include the board chair, and voted without him being present (they could form a quorum). I am not so sure it's exercising your legitimate power if you don't include the board chair on purpose.
The terminology can get confusing. I many contexts, a "brushless DC motor" is actually a 3-phase AC motor.

The idea is that you can think of the motor and motor controller (often called an inverter) together as a DC motor because the input to the motor controller is DC.

Series-wound DC motors used to be fairly common for EV conversions, and they're still a reasonable choice if you want something that's very cheap and very powerful, and don't care about brush maintenance, efficiency, regen, or being able to reverse easily. (The White Zombie for instance uses a pair of SWDC motors.) Normal people just use AC motors these days.

Neurodiversity is a framework for understanding human brain function and mental illness. It argues that diversity in human cognition is normal and that some conditions classified as mental disorders are differences and disabilities that are not necessarily pathological.

The framework grew out of the autism rights movement and builds on the social model of disability, arguing that disability partly arises from societal barriers, rather than attributing disability purely to inherent deficits. It instead situates human cognitive variation in the context of biodiversity and the politics of minority groups.[1][2][3] Some neurodiversity advocates and researchers argue that the neurodiversity paradigm is the middle ground between strong medical model and strong social model.

Nothing about a mask ROM makes the data unrecoverable. It's still Memory that can be Read.

I'd be very surprised if there's not an exploit that will get the CPU to barf up the full ROM contents. That's if there isn't a more direct way to read it.

Even in the extremely unlikely case that it can't be read programmatically, you can always physically decode it with a microscope and a working eyeball.

From there, it's "just" a matter of decompiling the machine code into something readable. It's not trivial, but it can be done by a single person in a reasonable timeframe.
Plenty, but I suspect most of them already have millions of dollars so it's relatively much less of a sacrifice.

But for someone who's not a millionaire that looks at the situation and doesn't know how it will shake out, and maybe believes it's 60/40 or 75/25 against what they think is right, it's possible that principle can make up the difference in those assessments and make the difference in what they choose.

Just because someone isn't passing up a "sure thing" doesn't mean they aren't sacrificing something, especially when most sure things aren't actually sure at all. In reality it's all a matter of statistical likelihoods (and we either think of them that way, or like most people use a different model of thinking that amounts to the same thing while convincing us it's not), so I don't see this situation as being all that different.

This is (was?) the most accurate crowdsourced medical site I know of.

Only providers, i.e., ER doctors, may edit, and it only targets providers and residents.

ER doctors focus on quickly segregating acute issues into urgent, critical, and all the rest, making this a great site for differential diagnosis from symptoms/presentation and initial labs. Because ER docs could be dealing with anything, they need quick and brief references. So it's not for pathology or mechanisms, explanations in any depth, and not tailored for patients.

It's almost sad to see such a carefully tended garden, fruit of so much effort, and so open in the spirit of the early internet. It will be soon be consumed by AI and then displaced. The incentive to write or edit might completely disappear when the information is available primarily via regurgitation.

Sorry to hear that! I have a pretty low sample size of ~8 friends on FP3 and I can't remember hearing of a single hardware failure. Some batteries got replaced and some are even still going strong on their first battery. I've updated mine from 3 to 3+ and I'm on my second battery since this summer, I.e. the main board is ~4years old. A friend had some minor issues in the beginning with some internal connector but I can't remember him mentioning it again.

Another friend got rid of her FP2 this spring in favor of a FP4, but only because some apps she uses got really unusable. Otherwise she would've stayed.

IMO it's a fairly good platform and I'm looking forward to how it evolves in the future. Hopefully they will introduce a smaller phone at one point.
Pretty much, yeah. You'll usually see a boot ROM, but it will also have the ability to boot into flash so you can run your own bootloader. But the ROM is always there as a fallback and can't be destroyed.
Not sure how relevant this is, but curious readers might be interested: In those 400-800 volt systems, the low-voltage system is used to wake up the battery's computer and close a normally-open contactor inside the battery that connects the high-voltage system.

So indeed they might not ground HV stuff to the chassis, and the hundreds-of-volts sources are disconnected if the car is turned off and unplugged.
