Taylor doesn't get paid for the vast majority of repairs. The money goes to the independent technician. They make some money for replacement parts, but that's rarely more than the occasional o-ring.

I have definitely gone to McD specifically to get a shake on a hot day and driven away when told the ice cream machine was down.

by Aloisius 2y ago
Eh. Taylor doesn't fix the machines. You actually get a contract with an independent certified technician - quite often provided through the reseller who sold the machine.

US franchises have been able to buy machines from Carpigiani instead of Taylor for ~7 years.

Six 9s would be half a minute of downtime per year. I don't see how that is possible given the maintenance required for these planes. Even the simple A checks ground a plane for hours every couple hundred flights while D checks take m

Is there any evidence that that social media causes higher levels of dopamine release than say, music? Exercise? Eating? Regular old socialization? Games? Sun exposure? I'm highly skeptical here, largely due to all the other moral pani

> I was being paid like I lived in the Bay Area, but I lived in a much lower cost of living area I'm a little confused as to why a company would pay bay area rates for remote workers given the higher competition for jobs.

Depends on what one considers a "problem." As long as the autopilot's failures conditions and mitigation procedures are documented, the burden is largely shifted to the operator. Autopilot didn't prevent slamming into a

Autopilots aren't held to a zero error standard let alone a zero accident standard.

That's from the old mercury mines in the area and erosion from naturally enriched mercury soil/runoff from naturally enriched geothermal springs, not the McLaughlin gold mine. (The Wikipedia article is for the Sulfur Bank Mercury

Eh. Moving rock that contains low concentrations of mercury into a pile is considered "releasing" it. Whether it carries any risk to the environment depends on local factors.

Last I heard, the McLaughlin Mine pits are slightly alkaline. There was a period when they were filling up in the 90s where they were acidic, before being buffered by the pit wall rocks and backfill during reclamation.

I imagine how common fraud is has more to do with the relative number of researchers in a field and the chance of getting caught. Sure money could be a factor, but the desire for prestige can motivate people just as easily.

SwiftUI's ViewBuilder isn't part of the Swift language. It's a macro implemented in Swift. Now whether macros themselves were a good idea or not, that's an entirely different question.

by Aloisius 2y ago
@Test, #require and #expect are just macros. You can expand them if you want to see what they do (or just look at the swift-testing code itself). Perhaps I'm just used to Python unit testing with similar decorators. Presumably, if you

I'd argue that at least some of the problem is that we are forced to record fundamentally insecure data. If we could replace things like SSNs, passport numbers, credit card numbers, etc. with org-specific tokens/certificates, they

> But everywhere else in the world the average lifespan past the age of 5 was between 70-80 years old Uh, no. The life expectancy for those who lived past 15 during the Paleolithic was 39 years. For the Neolithic it was 28-33 years.

It's more a rule of thumb than anything approaching a law. The exponent varies based on a number of factors like existing road condition, road construction standards, speed, weather conditions, etc.

Resources and time are, obviously, not labor. Turning commodity grape juice into commodity wine requires no appreciable extra labor compared to the required labor to prevent fermentation. The grape juice vs. wine is a rather classic count
