And unless enough bureaucrats complain to their boss, that law will never change. Regulations don't get handed down from the gods or something, they can be changed if enough people want it. There are plenty of countries these days wher

What is wrong with things like the Zapier scheduler? (ie https://zapier.com/apps/schedule/integrations ) For running locally, there's also a plethora of cronlikes for every OS under the sun. I think the core p

> I dunno how to reply to this - that is exactly my point, but it appears (to me, anyway) that you are saying this in disagreement? Yes. The research shows that they do (almost) always converge, but that they DON'T always converge t

The root cause tree on page 452 gives a good overview of how complex the behavior can be. The good news is that the grid operators have a good idea of what the problem was/is and it's well understood how to fix it. The downside is

Wisdom of the crowd has some fatal flaws that are especially important when it comes to things like IPOs. - Most significantly, most scientific research focuses on things that are actually amenable to guesses with a normal distribution, lik

You could do this whole plan without needing to do the assassination part, as long as you are willing to throw Ukraine under the bus. Conversely, even if the assassination scheme goes exactly as planned, there is no way of guaranteeing that

Well obviously? It's literally being broadcast in the news when diplomats talk to each other. What do you think they are talking about if not policy discussions?

That is obviously true but doesn't mean as much as you seem to think. Washing laundry is also not much work but it adds up to a lot over the years, especially if you skip a few weeks of laundry every once in a while. That is not an exc

Why not become a skilled craftsman and make a much better wage than in food service or retail? Every western country I've ever been in seems to have everlasting shortages of skilled plumbers, electricians and welders and prices have ri

It seems to me that there's a strong Pareto law inclination to this. 99% of non-profits are going to the local volley ball club type organizations that indeed don't make any money at all, or maybe a few hundred at most. I am in th

Well sure, but surely this takes some inspiration from both `&` as the "address of" operator in C as well as the `>` operator which (apart from being the greater-than operator) very much implies "into" in many cir

They mention this later in the article. It's still about 6 tonnes for the battery to store as much effective energy as the diesel tank.

I imagine it would be something like Option<NonZeroF32>, since -2.0 + 2.0 would violate the constraints at runtime. This gets us the Option handling problem back. I think the article would have been better with NonZeroPositiveF32 as t

Sounds like a them problem. If they can't be bothered to learn how to use their tools, it won't be a surprise that they then won't know how to use them. A free advantage to those of us that do dedicate the time to read the do
