The whole purpose of "friends and family" is that there's less fees but no protection. If you're buying a good or service from somebody, even somebody you know, you probably shouldn't pick "friends and family".
Youtuber Colin Furze is in the midst of some underground shenanigans and I really love watching him.
We've had these incentives since we started science. Remember Albert Einstein wasn't able to get a teaching position until after he was winning the Nobel. It turns out the people that really love science will do it even if it doesn't pay anything and brings them nothing.

We just need to make sure the salesman scientists and parasitic beuracrats don't squash the efforts of those doing real work.
Mine are all online now.

So you can activate them before you go.

In the time it would take to pull the scissors out of the drawer, I can just .click() all of them.

I don't even pay attention to the ones I activate anymore, I just get a nice surprise on the receipt.

As a parent I wouldn't go near a motorcycle let alone ride one in traffic. When I was a kid that was different but the responsibility towards my family precludes me from taking excessive risk. The Twizy embodies excessive risk for me to a degree that I would not drive one.

John Dunsworth was such a gem. Arguably the best portrayal of alcoholism on-screen ever. One of the kindest people ever, according to absolutely everyone. Brilliant actor, and an excellent stonemason privately. He explicitly wanted his hobbies to outlive him.

For those who don't know, John played Jim Lahey in the surprisingly excellent series "Trailer Park Boys". Give it a watch, you may be surprised.
A bit of a tangent but this is one of the biggest reasons I don't buy new cars. The depreciation in the first few years is astonishing. You are immediately underwater and will be until you've paid off at least half the loan balance (this is not the same as paying half the payments).
Looks like the same authors to me, maybe a different format?
I don't think GP is suggesting that you step out in front of cars and hope for the best, but rather that you cross in places other than those which have been deemed for crossing. In theory, walking a half mile to a crosswalk, waiting 30 seconds, crossing when okayed by the light, and walking a half mile back should be "safer". But just walking across the road when safe requires an understanding of how traffic works and how to judge safety.

It might be Baader-Meinhoff phenomonon, but In the past two days I've seen multiple pickup trucks hopping the curb in places that I find shocking, so I'm becoming more inclined toward taking safety into ones own hands. The system clearly isn't working.
Yes, connecting a directional antenna is illegal because its gain "amplifies" the power in a given direction at the expense of all other directions. We of course didn't tell anyone, and back then there weren't many services that we could disrupt by pointing the antenna from the 9th floor of a building to a nearby hill:)
Well, maybe if there's no oxygen nearby.
Most of the worlds miners are artisanal, millions still do this for a living present day.

Often you can pay a nominal amount to go down into their (illegal) mine. I did get stuck because my western legs were to long to climb out the 10m shaft, I'd go to step into the leghold dug in the red earth but my knee would hit the side.

The reporter who shut down Kala is a pretty awful person (from their past work). Everyone following knew Kala wasn't going to have the paperwork. The reporter enjoyed going about it in a nasty way, which is sad, but that's a lot of todays media.

The answer is that the technology is advertised as not dazzling oncoming drivers only.

Further, the little explanation of the technology I could find stated it worked by detecting headlights and taillights of cars.

I cleaned the whole house today wearing my Apple Vision Pro. It’s a great dopamine delivery system; much easier way to have a YouTube video going while vacuuming than a phone propped up somewhere. Likewise in the laundry where there’s not enough space to put down a device.

Hand-grips on trekking poles. Hmm, probably a bit niche, although pretty salient for me.
In most of the US, just about all of the large national direct-sales insurers operates sales 24/7 and will write you a policy in 20 minutes at 3am if you want: State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Farmers, Travelers, etc.

Yeah I assume this is going to require continuity/handoff, and those use iCloud for syncing state/keys, and iCloud is a privacy nightmare, so unfortunately that feature is probably off the table for me as all iCloud hostnames are blackholed on my macs. I’ll know more on Monday.

My statement was of course about the AVP; everyone knows you can use bluetooth mice on a mac.
I was thinking that number seemed crazy, as it is closer to ~10k at 3km for me(near Cambridge, UK). However, using that site and checking a few friends houses I see Cairo isn't that unusual; ~400k in Camden, 750k in Paris' 11th. And, making a couple of guesses at denser places led me to 1.7 million in Mumbai.

If anything it makes more amazed that regular wifi works as well it does between the house and garden, and I'll try to remember that next time I'm bemoaning its magic.
Maybe if the fine had a few more zeros.
It’s because headlamp housings are really expensive at like $500-$2,000 for mostly plastic.

So someone just trying to make it easier to see at night cheaps out and spends a fraction for a LED bulb replacement for a few hundies, tops.

You can buy brighter halogens but they burn out much faster.

I personally suggest everyone save up for the housing and do it proper if you’re gonna do anything. At least try replacing your current halogens first because they do dim over time.

Plus halogens melt snow with all that waste heat :)

At this point, why not just build statically linked binaries of those utils in the build stage and just copy them over? Or even better, have a static build of busybox with all of the non-dependencies disabled. Those filename bytes add up fast!

On unrelated note, --chmod parameter of the COPY instruction provides a way to avoid additional layers just to set the executable bits:

# instead of
COPY ugit .
RUN chmod +x ugit && mv ugit /usr/local/bin/
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/ugit /usr/bin/

# could just be this
COPY ugit --chmod=755 /usr/bin/

In all seriousness though, that Dockerfile is basically one big uglified red flag, please don't do this, people.
They are not at all random. In fact almost everyone’a insurance is more expensive because insurance companies are not legally allowed to use the highest predictor of risk besides age.
Funny enough moving to il2cpp made it even easier to hack/mod/access since now all class info and offsets and other info are exposed, easily with full type info. I'm just about done with a lib that can fully read all of the il2cpp related data externally, it's been a fun project

Well, I think that would sevearly inhibit future development. Scaling on bitcoin has been a delicate game of optimizing every bit that gets recorded, but also support future developments that dont even exist yet, there is no undo button either. New signature schemas and clevar cryptography tricks can do quite a bit, but when you slap another layer of cryptography on you will inevitably make things worse in the long run.

Histories biggest bug bounty is sitting on the bitcoin blockchain, if it were even theoretically plausible to crack sha-256 like that then we would probably know, and many have tried.

Ideally your business model is evidence (including to yourself) that you've done some hard thinking about who your customers, suppliers, and competitors are - and about some basic dynamics of your space.

It doesn't mean anyone should expect it to go that way exactly and the deviation from projection could be quite large, but it's still miles ahead of someone who's not bothered to think through it at all in most cases.
Kind of.

There is a lot of money in lobbying for certain things.

Companies generally don't want political outcomes per se via lobbying outside of their own niche interests.

Much more impactful are dedicated lobby groups.

For exmaple, there's a particular country that I'm not allowed to mention here under duress of being banned that has a lot of moneyed lobbying.
Conspiracy theories are always amusing, but I can assure you there isn't some billionaire sitting with a check in case things go incredibly south. I would tell you that things you are defining is risky are simply steps being taken for a library in the 21st century.

I suppose they are, in the sense that I would wave a magic wand that replaced plastic in all applications where it was not being used as a critical material with a more expensive but more sustainable alternative.

Straws I guess get wrapped up in that, though I'd sooner just not use a straw and don't see why that's not the default. Seems strange to me that adult humans want a goofy plastic tube in order to make drinking liquid enjoyable enough.

To me the bigger issues are single use plastic cups and bottles, to which I say elimination and alternatives like water bottles and aluminum cans, paper cups, aluminum cups (did you know you can buy aluminum solo cups?), and glassware can really meet almost every need. It's a matter of volume and pollution versus real net utility versus the technology they replace.

There's some advanced plastics and things for packaging that are cool, but they don't need to be on every single thing.
But if you can take arguments that person brought up (and thus signed that they believe in them) and use them to build your conclusion – that's much more powerful move.

In debate, we called this type of argument a “turn”. As in, you “turned” the opponent’s argument in one of two keys ways:

1 - Given their original premise and a positive outcome, show how the positive outcome actually comes from one of your premises instead.

2 - If they are attempting to dispute any of your points, show how the negative effects actually originate from THEIR premise, not yours.

———-

I’ll reiterate, this kind of argumentation is effective in competitive debate, but will make you no friends in the real world. The positions are assigned ahead of time - you might personally disagree with the case, but you have to argue it confidently and set aside your morals and beliefs. Furthermore, a round is only 30 minutes, and you go back to being friendly with the opponent as soon as it’s over.
Virginia also does not require liability insurance, but they impose an additional tax if you want to drive without it.

That's not any different than with car insurance. If the costs of a car accident exceed your limits you have to pay it too.
If you can afford the fancy car, you may not need coverage on your personal vehicle. Once again the purpose of insurance is to cover something unlikely that would be a significant burden.
How do you "fill something with vacuum"?
I don't think so, but a lot of promises...
It seems reasonable to assume it does virtually nothing. Like nearly every trendy non-rx supplement that has been around for this long, if there were any substantive medical benefits that could be demonstrated empirically in clinical drug trials, a prescription variant would have emerged. (As was the case with prescription fish oil, and this is in spite of most fish oil on the supplement market being of extremely low quality and consumed as a result of outright nonsensical medical claims)

You do not understand how modern databases actually work.

Databases don't need to access the filesystem, fast ones work with the block devices directly. The slowest part of modern hardware is the network, not the storage. IPC performance isn't a real issue. Databases do their own I/O and execution scheduling, that is how they achieve extremely high write throughput. Unless your web app is designed this way (it isn't), you cannot achieve anything close to the throughput of a modern database engine.

Performance is a product of software architecture. Being stateless does not make your software fast in any absolute sense, many stateless in-memory systems have mediocre performance. A disk-backed design with superior architecture can out-perform an in-memory design, both in theory and practice.
And it can be far worse than that, too. Comparing to on-premise DB on real iron, that cost differential could easily be closer to 30x.

that old saying "but it's opex, not capex" will only take you so far -- especially if you see the pricing for amazing but ten-year-old hardware at your local dedicated server leasing and then you've still got opex instead of capex.
Fogs lamps are worse for the person using them than oncoming traffic. This is due to the way the light is focused. It's directed downwards to avoid the light reflecting straight back into your eyes off the fog or snow. This is what makes them different. However it affects your ability to see far even if you have your high beams on.

I remember reading about this in an article written by a rally driver in ADAC magazine maybe 20 years ago now.

Yeah, but those evolved on high-gravity planets are smarter (and maybe stronger) since they too must calculate thrown-object trajectories but have to do so faster. Our brains use just enough energy, but no more, to keep us alive. Being smarter than we are would be a waste .... but if we HAD to think faster, we would evolve to match.

So maybe they'd figure it out.
It's fine until something floods your kitchen, and then it is the second worst stuff ever.

> The 'recall,' which is being fixed now via an over-the-air update, addresses a problem with hard-to-read warning lights.

Remember when Toyota had to physically recall millions of vehicles because the accelerator pedal got stuck under the floor mat? How is it that the word “recall” makes sense to use in both instances?
Perhaps cockroachdb or titaniumdb would be a better choice.
You could make the same argument for search or many other products - but it doesn’t hold in practice. If the commercial closed one is more powerful and/or convenient people will not choose freedom. There’s a reason these companies are getting drenched in investor money.

I can think of a thousand ways that they could get that convenience edge against open models. For instance, when LLMs are personalized based on your own history, chats etc people won’t give those conveniences up. And that data would not be accessible to the open models, at least not seamlessly.
The whole point is that you checked that the container gets no access to the network.

>>My wife is a stay-at-home mom and I've long wished for a disability insurance product that would cover the economic value that she provides, i.e. cover the cost of daycare / after-school care if she couldn't care for the kids.

The solution is unfortunately for everyone, more transparency in research. When you conduct an experiment, why on earth is the report composed months, sometimes years later, instead of being streamed live and recorded?

Just the same as in business. We need a new more prestigious stock exchange for companies that are willing to open their books up to continual audit.

The government can step in to aid businesses and researchers that act openly, in the form of grants to researchers or tax breaks for members of the more restrictive stock exchange, and shift the cost of policing destructive fraud to rewards for constructive conduct.
