The concept of having a limit doesn't seem too crazy to me, but yea, 5 hours is just so restrictive. Like, if it doesn't have aggressive idle-detection, I'd eat my entire 5-hours on a pause menu while dealing with an upse

Ah, and if that person has split their post into several messages, I can definitely read all of them from a direct link to the first message, right? If I have a link to a local emergency department twitter handle, I can view all of their re

I mean, I think a small website/blog with an RSS feed would be fine. If they really want it in social media format they could host an at proto PDS.

Yes, "quickly" is obviously industry-dependent. If they were fabricating something extremely easy to manufacture, "quickly" might mean months-to-a-year. Fabricating something very complicated like memory "quickly&qu

I didn't say the build out time was months. I said: > the test isn't "how much is price going up" it's "how aggressively are the RAM producers expanding supply production"

Under the prior administration things were moving slowly toward login.gov for every federal service. I’m really sad to see that’s yet another thing the current administration is destroying

by ncallaway 1mo ago
They didn’t. The federal government has login.gov which things were slowly consolidating towards. ID.me is a private third party system, that I won’t ever use.

My understanding (based on my memory of a leaked DSP contract that I’m having trouble finding again) is that if you’re a branded DSP, then you must lease the vehicle from Amazon, and you may not use the Amazon vehicle for any purposes other

by ncallaway 1mo ago
Does Amazon require the contractor to have the contractors drivers wear Amazon branded vests? What if the DSP is a single-person company? Then the DSP and the driver are the same person. In that case, is it Amazon or the DSP requiring the d

How big was the savings from delaying pension contributions and how big was the budget deficit? Yes, delaying pension contributions was absolutely a fudge, but it’s not like that was 100% of the gap for going from a large deficit to a balan
