No. He's legitimately done a terrible job the last few years across most of his businesses.

Nah, it's way more than 1% housing. Even many drug-addicted people can still manage to not be homeless when housing is cheap (especially SROs), and a lot of the drug addiction is downstream of becoming homeless and hanging out with dr

It's on CrowdStrike, but it's also on IT for even allowing installation of critical software like this that has a bypass at all. Updates shouldn't even be allowed to bypass IT's safe rollout procedures, at least not wit

I don't think "Microsoft should lock down Windows so hard" is the solution we want here. I don't want my desktop OS to be a walled garden like iOS is. I want to be able to install software on it that does anything I need

I thought it was clear from my comment that I was suggesting Apple would do it better . Think of how useful something like apt, npm, or pip is, and then realize that MacOS has no in-house equivalent.

It would be (or at least have) a command-line utility like rpm, npm, apt, or pacman. That's necessary for it to integrate well with various installation scripts. So you wouldn't have to use a UI at all, especially if it's b

Apple should have written it themselves. It's embarrassing that they didn't. Nonprofit Linux distros with one-millionth the resources manage to write package managers and run repos, and then with MacOS, Apple gives you diddly-squa

The right figure to compare against is their annual profit, which is around $45B. A single state in the US in a single enforcement action against them taking off over 3% of their entire profit for the year is a big deal.

$1.4B is serious money though. You can't be paying that out left and right, and there's no way Meta made more than $1.4B on doing facial analysis of photos uploaded by Texans. This was an actual loss by them, and thus an error.

Those are ccTLDs, which don't have any rules to abide by.

And with their luck, those handheld devices will also be sent the OTA update that temporarily bricks them along with everything else.

It is a critical problem if your entire record of life-saving drugs you've given them in the past 24 hours suddenly goes down. You have to start relying on people's memories, and it's made worse by shift turn-overs so the re

It doesn't matter what Google did or wanted to do if Squarespace wasn't going to actually support it.

Multiple cameras is cheaper and way more foolproof as it doesn't involve any moving parts. This robot had all sorts of problems. You know how often a Roomba gets stuck? Now imagine it's much taller with more pieces sticking off

These devices are heavily dependent on software running on servers in Amazon's cloud. They're being bricked only because those servers are being turned off because continuing to maintain the server software would be expensive and

It's also not necessarily super easy to refund money to a business. I know that accounts receivable at my company is a serious pain in the ass, and it's not a given that refunds on anything purchased via PO are gonna be easy or q

I've actually seen one of these in person (the guy had it for free because he knew someone at Amazon working on the personal dogfood version). I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was actually for , and neither could

Impeachment doesn't actually deal with it at all. It's basically impossible to impeach anyone with the way politics is polarized these days, plus the only result is that the president is removed. They don't actually face an

Not having online access to any of his financial institutions is actually causing real problems though, as is being unable to get a response from him on texts/emails.

It seems like it's just a part of aging, sadly. My dad was using computers at MIT back in the 60s before hardly anyone else had ever seen one. I had access to a computer at home my entire life even though the most basic monochrome gr

Some loads like this one are so heavy that you just can't defeat their inertia, hence why you go slowly and have a large escort. It couldn't be stopped that quickly just due to the nature of the load. At some point if you're

Yeah makes sense. A fractional distillation column is super heavy, up to a million pounds or more.

If it wasn't obviously a wind turbine blade (or a rocket!), maybe it was a petroleum distillation column? Those are a common extra-oversized highway load.

Well, an observational-only study proves even less.

That's not a randomized controlled trial though. You might find a correlation, but you couldn't actually establish causation, or eliminate hidden variables.

They certainly are hard, because dementia is something that develops over years if not decades. Anytime it takes that long to do a single iteration of your experiment, it's hard!
