There are tons of hacker labs, maker spaces, community colleges, etc. that have woodworking courses and materials in shared places available for cheap or free. The old tools I have are outdated and undesirable. They could be found for under $100 on Craigslist (or more likely free), and fit against the back wall of a 1 car garage- I can still park a car in there and use them in front of the car. My entire "shop" area is smaller than a regular dinner table or workdesk, and I have to shuffle things around and reconfigure the entire space each time I switch tools. For example, I have a table saw that is also the only workbench, and I have a drill press bolted on top of it, so it takes 10-15 minutes to actually clear the saw to make a single cut. I am also a single parent with a high stress/demanding job and my free time is limited- I've been building a very small 6' dinghy with my son for almost a year, and we're only 1/3rd of the way done but we're having fun.

I actually felt a little stupid accepting these tools and setting up a space for them, when I later realized that I already had free access to several local community woodshops through a few different mechanisms... I am thinking about getting rid of some or all of the tools and using those instead.

I think it's pretty easy to make excuses for why something is impossible, but if people really wanted to, almost anyone could do it. The average teenager in the USA buys themselves single outfits of clothing that cost more than the basics to get into woodworking. Most Americans have streaming and Amazon Prime subscriptions that cost a lot more than I spend on woodworking- and I don't have any subscriptions like that.
Sort of. There is a micro switch that breaks the proximity pilot signal when you press the button to release the latch. That ends up cutting the power to the main pins before you unplug the cable.
The obvious follow up to that is why don't the feds do controlled burns?
if AI is hosted in house I think it can have some very wonderful potential. Unfortunately lots of organizations are more worried about covering their asses legally than actually protecting the data
Chang'e 6 is the spare for Chang'e 5. So this is more like a bonus for the program.
It’s really hard to get excited about a keyboard with non-split space bar in 2024, and firmware other than qmk/zmk.
It's mind boggling because I highly doubt it's actually true. I'm not sure where the OP is getting that info. Patients can't waive away HIPAA privacy/security rights.

I think the OP is assuming that when healthcare institutions partner with third parties, those third parties are not required to uphold HIPAA. If that's his/her belief, it's 100% false. Third parties associating with healthcare institutions have to sign business associate agreements (BAAs) that require them to uphold the same standard of privacy/security regarding patient data as the first party healthcare institution. There are severe financial penalties for violating HIPAA, and every healthcare institution I've been a part of takes this extremely seriously.
What prevents an AI agent from becoming the product manager as well, and communicating with you (the customer) to clarify requirements?
having the arms straight rather than angled inwards (where the trackpad is) also is an ergonomic move...
I once had to go to a walk-in clinic to deal with a minor emergency. The doctor who attended me was literally typing with his pointer fingers.
'After several years of failed talks and inconclusive meetings, ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) countries—the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan—have agreed on a flexible plan to phase out the “unabated” use of coal-fired power plants by 2035'

The president of the United States is not supposed to make such policy changes without Congress, and Utah and other states will sue to block the latest EPA anti-coal regulations -- https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2024/04/26/utah-may-sue-new-epa.... The current Supreme Court may support the plaintiffs if a case reaches it.
This author slams React but then doesn’t have the guts to list alternatives.

Standardized frameworks makes recruitment easier – but it stops there. Once you onboard an employee and they spend considerable time integrating into the company and developing specific knowledge, they are no longer easily replaceable. If they are a key component of the team it will be painful to replace them, it will take years to hire someone new and get them back up to that same level. It’s better to just suck it up and pay them more than endure the costs and risks of hiring new labor.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I can relate. I initially had mixed feelings about it as well.

On the other hand the campaign we did in Stockholm last year worked out quite well. It managed to affect both domestic and EU legislative discussions at the time. Or at least our campaign contributed to moving the discussion in the right direction.

How much is that worth? I'm not sure, but the reason we started Mullvad in the first place was to conduct political action through entrepreneurship, specifically regarding mass surveillance and censorship.

If nothing else it seems to amuse a lot of people, including me and my colleagues. When I first heard of the idea of plastering privacy propaganda all over some major U.S. cities my initial reaction was more or less "lol, we can just do that?". As it turns out we can. :)
an interesting read for sure.
