I'd get behind that, but it won't happen at this point. I would like to see abolishment of speculative property ownership. You either use it, or it gets given to someone else. You can't hold it and wait for the price to go up

> Heads up, US Customs does not have to respect to GDPR. Customs is part of a sovereign nation. What customs can and can't do has precious little bearing on what companies can and can't do. It's basically irrelevant. >

Yeah, I can't read it, but "millions" sound rather high to me. In 2019 there were 157 million American workers. That's expected to increase by 2 million in 2022, to 159 million workers. The number of workers is higher

> Trimmers I met were earning $500 to $1,000 a day. $100 per lb trimmed was pretty common. I don't believe this, the numbers don't line up. If it's wet, doing 5 pounds in a day is reasonable, but nobody's going to pa

The other poster is right, I can't see any way this is an accessibility issue. You could try pushing back with a First Amendment complaint. Say you have a sincere and deeply held belief that using Facebook is wrong, and that forcing y

It's also not really safe to drink. Probably unlikely to kill you, but you're not going to get any assurances E. coli isn't in there. It's pretty hard to mess up growing weed bad enough to hurt someone, unless you poison

I would think a prototype supersonic trebuchet would come with a lot more rules than a standard firearm. They would be much closer to the safety precautions for a prototype firearm, which includes things like being behind a blast shield bec

I'm a little doubtful. I think your standard pebble would vaporize from the friction with the air. A pebble certainly wouldn't survive re-entry into the atmosphere, so there's an upper bound on the speed before it disintegr

Just to expand on that, patients aren't the only ones with a legitimate reason to access that data. Insurance companies need copies as well, so they would still want some kind of mass-data portal even if customers don't use it.

Google owns the stuff you make during 20% time, iirc, so they use it as a feeder for new products. Allegedly (I can't verify, but can't see why they'd lie) GMail, Google Maps and AdSense were all born out of people's 20%

In my short time working with it, I found it frustrating to debug. Using an incorrect tag meant it would simply be ignored with no indication of why my thing doesn't work, and I found tracing issues back to their HTML tag to be annoyi

An ESP32-CAM isn't far off. It's got a sticker sized footprint already. If you cut off the pins, the PCB is thicker than a sticker and the camera is a centimeter or two long, but they're like $10 a piece for ones with a camer

I would tend to disagree because MicroPython is so abstracted that it resembles writing regular Python on a server more than it does anything embedded. Just as an example, the WiFi setup resembles a server far more than an ESP32 with esp-id

A desire implies a conscious and at least semi-reasonable actor. People with desires behave rationally (mostly). If person X doesn't want to be homeless, they probably won't burn their house down. We can depend on that. COVID is n

Right, but those aren't things an RCA is meant to address. The RCA identifies the specific method of failure. It's the starting point on your process improvement. X failed because Y, why did we allow Y to occur? The answers to tho

Why on Earth wouldn't you just make it a setting on the phone and expose that to apps? Have the apps read it on startup, and save it as part of the user profile server side. It basically becomes an email address. > So this can&#x2

I think it would be more effective to require sprinkler systems indoors on wooden homes. I'm seeing prices of $1-$2 per sqft, which is absolutely reasonable (although I anticipate prices are higher in LA, square footage is typically l

I've worked at some places that used Kafka (including LinkedIn), although I have never been responsible for running the platform itself. I'll chip in with what I see as the negatives. Kafka sits at roughly the same tier as HTTP,

A lot of it will be pushed down the stack into infrastructure. Infrastructure typically tails software, so over the next decade I would expect to see shifts in the infrastructure to accommodate this. For example, I think we'll start t

I don't think this is strictly true. There are 2 underlying factors: 1. Public companies have tons of disclosure requirements, which makes it far more likely that someone notices their misconduct. That's a really heavy bias in t

Given unlimited potential, no, it's not. Given our current constraints in terms of energy density and electronics size, yes, it probably is. In an unlimited potential world, it would be great to have a phone that was like an A0 sheet

I think some entire themes just don't translate well. Explosions lose a lot of oomph if they aren't backed by powerful subwoofers. It's hard to pass environmental detail on an iPhone. Things like the scene with the biolumi

Does anyone have a link to any of the court documents? I'm curious what their legal basis for this is, and I can't find any actual legalese. Amazon being liable doesn't sound likely to me, but perhaps they've actually f

Probably not a literal get out of jail free card, but it gives you a lot of options to impede the investigation. From what I can tell, investigations are comprised of a large network of loosely connected groups that need to coordinate to wi
