True, and they haven't dried it up. Given some starting amount of water, recirculating it through the system more efficiently will keep the "running out of water" problem at bay, right?

Use less water? Probably by recycling the water that is actually used. If las Vegas can survive in the desert, any city can. The problem is getting the money to apply the fixes required.

> How does a random programmer have "duty of care"? Are there jobs that don't care if you don't take due care when writing code? I'd like me one of those.

I can't imagine browsing the web on my phone and tablet without Firefox mobile. That would honestly be the biggest loss once this CEO takes this nonsense to the logical end.

Humans have agency and accountability, duty of care, etc.

Most of the time, there is usually no "most meritorious", just something that is elsewhere on the "trade-off space" than the person speaking would like. I usually dismiss everybody who so snidely and arrogantly dismisses

In the short term (while you build your desalinators), and in local water-stressed regions, it very much is.

Then why do they ban accounts for using them? Is it some sort of honeypot?

I trust them more precisely because they are not wasting resources making slick start-upy marketing fluff that make it difficult to find the actual information I am looking for.

At least you can see the ground ahead of you, weight is not the only thing affecting safety.

If sitting in the back and cheating guarantees a good grade, that's a shit school, honestly. The school seems to know that people cheat, and how, but nothing is being done. Randomize seating, have a proctor stand in the back of the cla

It should not be possible to connect to the production database from your local machine, especially if the tool you are using to write and run your code is configured by polite entreaties that can be ignored willy nilly.

What is the US doing differently that it is so expensive there?

So should we increase the "scare factor" on rail transport or reduce it on air transport?

It feels like this would be a very tricky problem, seeing as it seems most large planes have "it's much lighter when landing than taking off" as part of the design constraints, seeing as maximum takeoff weight > maximum la

There are reasons more than a million people die on the roads every year, but that number only cracks a thousand for commercial aviation in particularly bad years. Most of those reasons are that all aviation incidents and accidents are anal

There was one accident, but it was a pallet of batteries on a cargo plane that killed the crew.

Aviation rules are written in blood. Everything you snidely dismiss actually happened and people died/came close to dying, so the rule was added.

In some countries, Whatsapp is pretty much the de facto town square. Friend groups, family groups, event planning, customer support for businesses (though now it's just talking to shitty AI bots), all on WhatsApp. You can't beat t

There is no common 2 second rule, afaik. There is a 3 second rule, which is probably why they feel too far apart to you.

How so? Switching from an Nvidia card to an AMD one I am now able to upgrade my kernel whenever without getting a blinking cursor after reboot. How are in-tree drivers worse than whatever Nvidia does?

You are selecting the subset of AI that generally makes sense and is useful. A lot of the things you mention (captioning, autogenerating APIs from code, etc) were solved problems, even before generative AI.

Very few billionaires earn their fortune just "in America". Buffet definitely didn't.I live outside the US and pay thousands of dollars a year to American companies for goods and services, as do many of my friends. The insula
