This will likely be canceled, like the previous iteration. It will just take months of arguments before the "amended complaint" is resolved.

You have no rights against Tesla. All disputes will go to a for-profit psuedo-court known as "arbitration", where the arbiters only continue to make money if they rule against you.

The American Arbitration Act overrides all other federal and state laws that benefit you. The arbiter, according the political decisions of SCOTUS, have decided that a manifest disregard for the law is no prohibition. The arbiter may decide to award Tesla 1 million USD against you for challenging Tesla and you have no recourse against this. You have no rights and infinite liability when challenging them.

Such is the consequences of sneaky contracts and mandatory binding arbitration that causes the majority of Americans to lose fundamental rights without understanding it.
Don’t you feel so much more secure now?
It's unmetered*

* if our upstream is saturated we're going to look at our biggest users and if the number is really big we'll send them a polite email to please reduce it or pay more.

There are reports of people getting emails from Hetzner after sending multiple Gbps continuously for several months. That's the level you have to reach before the * kicks in. Only 1Gbps servers are unmetered, so you'd have to have several.

If you want to know a better approximation of their true cost just look at their non-unlimited plans: 20TB/month included for free; 1€/TB (excl VAT) after that.

I have one more interesting data point to add: I was quoted 950€/month for a dedicated 10Gbps between Berlin and Amsterdam (about 600km) plus peering at AMS-IX, or 300€ for 1Gbps. (They're not secretive and you can just ask for a quote using their sales contact form). Extrapolating, it seems that 1€ is worth about 2.5 petabyte-kilometers, at least within the dense interconnections of continental Europe. About twice the price of shipping a petabyte of hard drives the same distance.
Finally someone is saying it like it is. Sadly this someone isn’t a bigwig at NASA. NASA still can’t take humans to/from orbit on its own. To believe that in 18 months we’re going to have a successful lunar landing is batshit grade insanity.
Are you really surprised? Threads like this make the front page every 3-4 months in various forms...
Count me in with the group that’s not been able to find the appeal in tiling WMs. For more automatic setups I find myself “fighting” them a lot, and for manual setups I’m micromanaging windows much more than I do with a typical floating WM.

My preferred setup is a floating WM with dual monitors, with each monitor’s virtual desktops being fully independent (so switching one doesn’t switch the other), which allows using the desktops to create “windowsets” that can quickly be switched between. This is by far the least micro-managey arrangment I’ve used, with windows rarely being moved or resized once set up. Practically zero mental overhead, it’s very nice.
I will not engage with you further and simply refer you to [1], which includes some of the studies used in your fraudulent website. And the data has only gotten more damning since 2021.

ChatGPT 4o vs. ChatGPT 4
With ChatGPT 4o being released to all users regardless on whether they are paying for ChatGPT, other than the benefit of a higher usage rate, what other benefits are there for ChatGPT Plus? Is ChatGPT 4 better than ChatGPT 4o, or is 4o better and faster? ChatGPT advertises ChatGPT 4o as their "Newest and most advanced model".
Of course there must be. Rental agencies do incur cost to missing gas, car damage, etc, and they must track incident cost accrued vs incidental cost billed to customer. If B < A, someone gets their ass chewed out. To avoid that, they commit fraud and spread the incidental cost on everyone.
Wait, why? Seems like a bad thing to do in CI?
We spend $14K per person, or $4.5T on healthcare in the US. The typical cost for healthcare in comparable countries is 1/2 of that per person.

There is $2.25T per year of savings to be had. We can eliminate our national debt in 15 years, and with that also eliminate the $1T going to $1.5T of interest payments we pay each year on the debt, so a total savings down the road of about $3.5T per year.

To put that in perspective, our entire national budget was a bit less than $4T pr year pre pandemic.

There is absolutely nothing else that comes close to the potential savings on healthcare. All of the schemes I have seen whether they are tax increases or cutbacks in other programs, even the extreme ones, *might* save $2T over 10 years.
Up there with "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses."
Yes, this is the secret sauce and the moat. Not as easy as buying more compute with unlimited budget.

There is something grim and dystopian, thinking about the countless small hands feeding the machine.
Sure I can change the default setting.

And I can also dog Mozilla for accepting the money.

And I can also dog anyone who thinks they did nothing wrong.

Are you in the final category? Want to debate about it? I invite you to make an opening position statement.
Tesla's issues are mounting up. Costs of totaling out, overall missing quality/realities of UX, and the lack of real infrastructure to support other buyers.

I'd love to be able to buy an EV. But my condo doesn't have charging ports, so realistically the best I can do is a PHEV for now.

It came up Friday (when it was asked, 'what would I buy if my hybrid was totaled tomorrow') as well as jokingly saturday (when my hybrid died thanks to poor QC on a previous recall software 'upgrade'... car worked fine before thank you...) but if I had to do it I'd still at most reach towards a Hornet PHEV.
I think it’s plain text? Unless recovery environment has a symmetrical encryption scheme and it can decrypt the cypher text stored in nvram?
Yeah, the key thing here is that even if the arbitration agreement is binding, they have to have someone actually show up and prove that to the judge.

So multiply that across even a few hundred times...
Add a second tray/location showing the still-running background applications (as opposed to the paused/killed ones that you can still switch to). Then the user can quickly see what's taking up resources and pause or kill it themselves, optionally moving applications between the unkillable and killable locations.

No need to dive into per-app settings except maybe to determine the default behavior. You can do this dynamically based on which applications are running that you'd like to keep running (or not).

They could even justifiably restrict this capability to the M-series iPads given the substantial performance improvements (including efficiency cores) compared to the older A-series iPads if they wanted to create motivation to upgrade.
Might be for transformers windings in vs windings out? I think transformers are pretty efficient, but convert voltage in multiples. I'm not an EE though and don't know if that is how electrical conversion is actually handled in cars.
No. The government, via the police, can and does kill in the name of enforcing laws. But that power is not related to the fact we’ve made killing illegal for ordinary citizens. Outlawing murder is not what gave the government the right to kill, and outlawing discretionary firings would not be what gives the government the right to fire at its discretion (if it ever claimed that right).
Karin Oberg PhD Podcast Interview Transcript
Is creating things of aesthetic quality not of value with respect to the human condition? Is not some subset of that aesthetic quality derivative of the intuition and intention of a human mind? Sure, if you want to build some tehchnology to make designing packaging for dog food more effecient go ahead, as long as it isn't the previous dog food packaging creators that are being made to absorb the economic cost of the new technology (which they are).

But I hope at last some subset of human art strives to do more than that, and I think it's a bad thing that the incentive to increase revenue at the expense of quality has now expanded past being a tool to improve efficiency of laborious tasks and is now instead cutting costs via cutting artistic value.
No they don’t. At least in my cursive writing. Line from end of last letter to beginning of next letter is always correct, since you don’t take your pen off the paper. That’s not different between the code and the reality.

If your letters look wrong it’s because you are starting them in the wrong place. Or because you take your pen off the paper. Letters either end in the bottom right or top right, and begin in the upper left. A straight line should always be correct.

The issue with the a that looks like an e is because the author is trying to start writing her a on the left side of the character.
How can you know anything, really?
Hey! I'm in the same boat with raw carrots, as well as melons like cantaloupe and watermelon. Annoying because I love them all.
The "location tracking" thing is so absurd. Apps use the location tracking permission to stay active in the background. App Review says "why do you have this permission? you need to actually have a user-facing feature that justifies tracking the location to get it" so apps just add a pointless "my location history" feature that is not actually needed just to make App Review happy.

At that point, just allow background refresh! Everyone is just working around the rule anyway, why does it even exist?

The App Store is so dysfunctional.
Reducing framerate doesn't help much when there isn't a lot changing between frames. Here are some better optimizations:

Noise reduction, so you compress less useless noise: -vf hqdn3d

Turn up the Constant Rate Factor. This will make better visual tradeoffs than decreasing frame rate. 23 is a good starting point for h264, but keep increasing it until you don't like how the content looks: -crf 23

Throw more CPU at the problem: -preset veryslow
Yeah avoid the HDHP if you have children or know you comsume a large amount of healthcare services. Otherwise, HDHP, the associated HSA account, and typically an employer contribition create a triple tax free investment that can't be beat.

Sucks though we have to guess how much health care we might use in the coming year.

On a postivie note if you hit your family max for the year, try and stuff in as much medical care you can.
My wife had to go to the ER 24 yrs after delivering our second kid because of a medical error during post partum care at the same hospital. She sat in the ER from 9pm until 6am 72 hrs after giving birth and was offered the womens bathroom to pump in. She never saw a doctor or got past triage despite the delivery unit telling her to go to the ER immediately. We got a 4.5k bill, insurance paid most of it, but we’ve refused to pay the deductible on principal.

After to many of these we just have a family policy that we are the final arbiters of a reasonable and fair medical bill given the error rates in billing. We have a high enough credit score that collections doesn’t scare us.
> Why would they do this?

Because automatically sharing credentials between devices by default is what most people want, especially younger customers for whom this has always been the normal state of affairs.
This sure looks like BYD will take over the global car market. Stellar sounding price and value. I’d never own one due to privacy concerns but I was seriously imagining myself in one while reading the article. If they can make a reliable car at those prices they sure have a thing going.

US just implemented 100% fees on all Chinese car imports. Won’t save the us car makers in the global market though.
> I'm not saying that, it's something you've made up for your inner rofls.

Says you. And as you have abundantly demonstrated, you are a moron.

>No, that's nonsense and factually wrong. Common sense is that a different modifier key is still a different modifier key even if the modification is the same. You have to do some logic twists not to make it so. Also, this is factually wrong: they don't modify the action in exactly the same way, that depends entirely on your config. In mine they act differently

ROFL more idiotic assertions.

> But your overly confident overly broad statements weren't platform limited. So how are your links to the backward platforms / gui frameworks relevant? I've already acknowledged "state of bad defaults"

Nope my perfectly confident assertions were perfectly correct and shared by every framework under the sun. Because they are right. You coming up with nonsense use cases from under your overly small sized hat doesn't change that.

> And if you turn your mental barrier off, it's pretty obvious how to make it work everywhere - you simply flag both left+right on getting the no-side flag info on a backward platform that doesnt differentiate. And only flag either left or right on a platform that does differentiate. Or differentiate it yourself by reading raw codes. So there are no good reasons to create yet another bad keyboard protocol when it works fine without blinders off

The good reason is that modifiers are state. Left and right modifier keys modify that state in exactly the same way. You WANTING them to work differently doesn't make it so. And you bloviating about how it's a bad protocol just makes you look like the moron you are, No terminal emulator developer is going to agree to implement a keyboard protocol that requires bypassing how the platform the terminal emulator runs on handles modifier keys. Because you want it to be so. What a joke. Grow up. Or actually dont, keep on ranting on internet forums about your pet demand, all the grown ups are just going to ignore you and/or laugh at you. Good bye and good luck.
Didn't Asimov write about half the moon being dark? TIL the "far side of the moon" is actually referred to as "the dark side of the moon". But yeah, it's funny/sad that nobody in the room seems to know anything.
All my worst car rental experiences involved Herz.
True. It requires honesty that the state does not intend to uphold the resolution. But it does not require honesty about why.
You mean it does unreal builds.
Posing a hypothetical without any evidence of that being true is not a valid rebuttal.
Relevant education and experience in aerospace fields is not important in Congress. Neither is factual correctness.

Politics and rules lawyering are what matter in that space.
My brother lives over the ditch in Australia. He developed very serious metastasised melanoma.

He was prescribed a very new drug which has worked brilliantly and saved his life.

The first time he left the pharmacy with his monthly prescription, the pharmacist told him to take care, because the pills he'd given him cost more than $20k. For a months supply. The cost to him - absolutely nothing.
Is it also possible that NK hackers got hands on the material and made it discoverable?
Yeah, they should really unlock the virtualization capabilities. That IMO would make a lot of power users happy. I would love for them to also offer some sort of dual boot option for running macOS on bare metal but that's likely not going to happen.

I'd be happy enough with virtualization, at least then I could make proper use of the hardware.
Perhaps because it doesn’t impact you until it does, and we can’t seem to agree on what exactly is causing these outcomes. It’s a legitimately tangled problem, and I do believe how to unwind it is not well understood by anyone. (Ignoring single payer, which is more of a sidestep than a true fix)

Many people are also insulated by expensive insurance plans. HDHP are a long term play to generally make the public more familiar with the problem, as they will no longer be fully isolated from the prices.
Yes. Recent example: https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/25/kaiser-permanente-health-p... Much of the Web is infested with this plague, even some banks and other high-stakes online services.
maybe the welsa supercharger is running low on gas.
WebKit calls them that too.
> traditional window managers seem to work better with my brain.

My final push came from Gnome (on X11) randomly messing up Alt+Tab so that each time it would start cycling from an arbitrary window rather than the current one, only fixable by logging out and logging in again. Also annoying: with an external monitor, windows sometimes jump between monitors after suspend and resume for no clear reason.

No such issues with Sway at all. Overall, I found the switch very worthwhile.
Great, so what does he mean by "how would you explain the source that you linked to?", since no part of that conflicts with what I've said or anything else? (I really appreciate the parsing help!)
https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1984-08

That one has several articles, it's the theme of the issue. There are several other issues with Modula-2 articles as well in the Archive, you may find the one you're thinking of if it's not in this issue.
One thing I learned from using Little Snitch is that a lot of Apple apps are seemingly immune from these types of firewalls, due to Apple shenanigans around k-ext signing etc [0].

Ref also [1]:
> In Big Sur Apple decided to exempt many of its apps from being routed thru the frameworks they now require 3rd-party firewalls to use (LuLu, Little Snitch, etc.)
> Q: Could this be (ab)used by malware to also bypass such firewalls?
> A: Apparently yes, and trivially so

I often use this site for service info. It’s all pirated from ALLDATA. Currently a comprehensive subscription to service info is around $180/mo. A modern repair shop can’t function without service information.
It is not yet a glofiried ssh machine, so that is an 80% no when it comes to work hardware for me. But give me a docking station with my homemade keyboard, fancy monitor, mike, and headphones, and let me use the GNU toolchain locally to get a decent terminal and Emacs and I would be a happy camper. The macbooks managed to hit those points, but the iPad feels totally disconnected from this type of glorified terminal mentality… unfortunately.
> Then again, recent history hasn't bode well for whales,

That’s because the claim that whales possess human-level intelligence is controversial and unproven. You can’t have a conversation with a whale. While whale language has a certain complexity, we don’t know whether it is capable of conveying the kind of abstract conceptual ideas which human language can.

> or the 50M or so human beings that other human beings keep enslaved in 2024

Most enslavers, their disagreement is not with the idea that slaves are human or entitled to fundamental human rights, their disagreement is with the idea that fundamental human rights include a universal right not to be enslaved. And to be honest, the idea of such a universal human right is historically rather novel - in all four of Europe, Asia, Africa and the pre-Columban Americas, slavery has a history going back thousands of years, and it is only in the last couple of centuries that an (incomplete) consensus has emerged that it is universally wrong

From what I gathered + my personal experience, most of the times not only low pay work pays less but it sucks too.
I think it applies to gov and non-profit too
They'll likely send it to collections (and hurt your credit score).
This week I tried Wayland with Nvidia again on Arch and it was terrible, I experienced lag, bad performance and weird glitches like a jumping cursor.

I admit that I only played with this for an hour or so. Maybe I didn't do some of the necessary configs to get a good experience, I just followed the Arch wiki instructions.

I hope it's better on Ubuntu.
We have that right now, you just have to pay for it. https://www.oemonestop.com/
All of those articles are about economic performance before 2019, which was bad, but now we live in 2024, which is a different year where the economy is good. In fact it's as good as it's been in decades in the US. (Not so good in other countries partly because we caused inflation in their currencies.)

Note the media sector of the US economy is doing kind of badly and is mostly staffed by neurotic people who live in NYC, which means they tend to write negative articles no matter what.
It would be tough to model and/or mollify my handwriting in code or even ML because it really just depends on the day, and that's not usually a model input ;D

(TL;DR: it's somewhat inconsistent)
This seems like the secular version of "the devil made me do it". We can't be accountable for any of our actions because we are all just molecular machines playing out their predetermined outcome.
AFAICT, the answer to "why does Google do X" is basically always "because someone needed a launch to point at when they're up for promotion".
Even if a miracle happens and we get to net zero, warming and extreme events like this will continue for decades due to climate lag and feedbacks.
Agreed. Also worth noting that Hanlon’s razor was not originally intended to be interpreted as a philosophical idea in the same way as Occam’s:

> The term ‘Hanlon’s Razor’ and its accompanying phrase originally came from an individual named Robert. J. Hanlon from Scranton, Pennsylvania as a submission for a book of jokes and aphorisms, published in 1980 by Arthur Bloch.

Hopefully we can collectively begin to put it to rest.

At least in some courts, I would think filing a motion to dismiss would be enough, without swnding a lawyer to court... but I have never been theough that process before so I can't say for sure?

Still takes time, and arbitration isn't all that scary, ao forcing them to arbitrate can also be a costly endeavor for them.
A lot of people that vote have employer provided coverage (that appears affordable to them) or Medicare.
I am partly oblivious to the fact that it should be considered odd, and I'm not trying to peer pressure folks, but provoke and inspire them.

My arguments are there for anyone who wants to consider them. You might choose to ignore them and characterize me as naive or deceptive instead. That doesn't dismiss them.

There's still a major conflict where science, states, and corporations are working together in a system that harms people. Analyzing and opposing that conflict is important. As Scientists and software developers, we have a unique call to take a stand. If you don't feel that call now, maybe you'll feel it in the future!

In the latter case, don't they then ask the judge/arbitrator to also award them legal fees if (when, really) they win?
Government should regulate it to a rolling 12 month max...
Obviously the letters connect, but where a given letter ends depends on the following letter, and where a given letter starts depends on the previous letter.

For example, in standard American cursive, b, o, v, and w have a top exit stroke, whereas the rest of the lowercase letters finish on the writing line. Combine this with the letter a, which has a top entry stroke, so the oa will join at the top, whereas ea will join from bottom to top.
