And do you suppose nobody keeps track of who is renting that PO Box?

It’s probably true that you can’t operate properly without an ID, and yet the US government is specifically avoiding the one necessary prerequisite to having reliable and convenient IDs: a complete list of its citizens, with place of reside

Once upon a time when Zigbee was the latest hype, a friend worked on a project to cast cheap hygrometer sensors into concrete and have them report via a mesh network. Apparently sensors were predicted to be cheaper than to have an engineer

Don’t products come with a declaration of contents printed on their packaging in your country? Where on earth are you?

Author mentions internal tools, so I assume they already have a user database they integrate with on the back-end? LDAP or similar.

Carbon that is absorbed into the alloy will stay there for a long time. Until the metal rusts away completely, which is ideally decades at least. But you’re right that it’s not stored indefinitely, it does go into the atmosphere eventually.

Did SC really promise financial returns? My impression was it did not.

Would you define yourself as being anywhere on the autism spectrum? Sorry for the very personal question. You certainly don’t owe me an answer. I just find it fascinating how some people care a lot about tracking their lives and others (lik

I’ve been using a Canon MFP 4270 since 2008 and it’s been consistently reliable and great. The only issue is Windows no longer recognizes it by default, so you have to manually install drivers off their website. And of course, Windows Updat

That’s such old news, it hardly needs stating. The linked article looks at one possible mechanism why that is.

State what? Sounds like you’re afraid of it, too?

It'd be a bit hard to keep this exploit a secret once the patch was on Github.

I’ve seen it all over the place, starting with my parents. I guess using the warning lights as a “thanks” would be uncommon though, since it’s actually illegal. ;-)

Pretty sure the intended use is when stationary, to warn that you have broken down and are positioned badly. At least, that used to be the only time it was legal to use them here (Sweden). They recently added a rule that it’s legal to use w

Well, you just got me to Google “rcmp”. That’s just one data point of course, and I was indeed aware of their informal name from popular culture.

How can you know the packages were not just left in another building? Or some else stole it from your porch after delivery?

To be fair, the “correct way” to do databases at that time was to use third normal form. Putting indices on string columns would have been considered a hack, much like using MySQL was.

Some weird behavior at my employer perhaps. We had several rounds of layoffs during my tenure and they were always announced at an all-hands meeting at 9 AM, announced the same morning. I still get nervous any time there’s a meeting called

Why would that be a more likely situation if you’re escorted out of the building on a Friday than it would be on a Tuesday?

Well I certainly don’t owe them an upvote, or my approval in general. Not sure where you’re going with that argument.

I’ve seen businesses use them for stationary storage. I’ve assumed they use discarded containers that can no longer take the stress of freight. But yeah in general you’re right.

You mean all those underemployed software engineers and all the trained programmers forced to wait tables because they couldn’t get a programming job? That is not how I remember the world in 2019.

Well, assuming enough truck terminals have stacking equipment that can actually pile more than 2 high, it should free up some more wheels to start pulling full containers out of the port. But who knows? And it’s hardly going to solve this p

And hence the extreme explosion in shipping prices, I assume. Anyone buying freight from China to LA now has to also pay for returning the empty. What I’ve been told is the price for shipping one container has increased 10-fold because of t

The way I read the linked article, the idea is to use peel piles for drayage only. That is, for goods that is due for shorter trips within the same urban area, not for long-haul freight. I think it seems like a part of the solution by virtu
