Aaand even if we ignore the "benefit" of Cloudflare and AWS outages being blamed on them, rather than you, what does uptime look like for artisanaly hosted services on a quarter rack vs your average services on AWS and Cloudflare?

There absolutely are options but we aren't using them because nobody cares enough about these downsides. bsky is up, with Mastodon you even have choice between tons of servers and setting up your own. Yet, nobody cares enough about the

From dealing with Euro notes, I like being able to look down at the money in the wallet and pull the right notes out based on color. With USD I need to take the bills out of the wallet.

I used to keep my laptop sticker free. I changed that once I discovered how much easier it makes it to recognize which laptop is mine. This was really driven home when one year everyone at work was gifted the same macBook Air as a holiday g

You have to levers to enforce law. You can get better at catching lawbreakers or punish those that are caught harder. There are studies that show that catching a higher percentage of criminals and punishing them in a timely fashion leads to

Is this because they don't have macs or because they spent more on the other stuff? My M1 macBook is 4+ years old and still going strong. How many phones do average people buy in that same time?

Almost as bad as copying a phone number on iOS instead of calling it (no idea if this is better on Android). The eagerness of iOS to call phone numbers which almost never is the thing I want to happen, is a source of much anxiety.

Honestly the Cleons story line has been the only storyline I consistently enjoyed. All other ones suffered from both pacing and idiot plot issues at various times.

I also found the pacing to be inconsistent at best.

Another benefit over most welfare programs is that there is no welfare cliff. You'll never have less incentive (or negative in some programs) to start a job because you'd lose the benefit (other than relative marginal value of the

This is very disappointing. I wonder if it's a limitation of the underlying connection. Does it use AirPlay for this?

Thanks for your answer! That said, I know how to install SQLite and am well-familiar with it. My point was that the parent's comment did not tell the full story. A student just trying to do the first baby steps with SQL won't know

How do I get this sqlite3 command to work on my Chromebook? When I type this in on my Windows machine it's not working either. Are there other steps I need to take first?

Eric Ries first started talking about a Long-Term Stock Exchange, he suggested long (potentially multi-year) lock-up periods. The LTSE he actually implemented doesn't have that. I speculate that this was a compromised because they are

This is definitely true. I'd also add community input to that. However, while these are all issues, I think the root cause is a deeper cultural issue. I don't think Western, European countries have the same legal issues but they t

I wonder if two things are massive factors in this: a) The US is already prosperous. When you have much too lose, your mental trade-offs between gaining something and losing what you have become different. b) US politics has been dominated

It seems like getting hit by a falling drone would be very dangerous if you are a roofer or not.

by ajmurmann 1y ago
What's the math that gets to 3-4 hours? Do the drones usually multiple deliveries in a flight? In my metro I would have assumes that any place is less than 30 minutes flight time from a Whole Foods or Walmart for example. How long does

With the information we have about the actual incident, it seems you'd only be at risk of that happening if you were as thin as a cable.

Is it possible to even make it through day 2?

I've found that in those cases, I likely am better off doing it myself. The LLMs I've used will frequently overfit the code when it gets complicated. I am working on a language learning app and it so often will add special-casing

People in Mexico are much poorer and the country has huge crime and corruption problems. Just the disappeared people and especially women alone are massively concerning and likely worse per capita than US school shootings. Yet somehow they

It's not all about finance. From my recent visits to Mexico everyone there seems much happier and friendlier than in the US and Europe. It was honestly quite striking. I have no theory what causes this (maybe large families?), but it w

Availability of prices is definitely an issue. Many, many things aren't emergencies though and arguably many of the expensive ones aren't (cancer treatment, many great procedures once stabilized). My wife used to work on healthcar

Somehow the pharma industry still doesn't bring in that much money. There is a reason we aren't all in pharma funds.

I am not saying we have a functioning or free market right now. I am arguing that competition can bring down prices if we allow it to.

Definitely true. However, it's not intrinsic to healthcare. We made it that way. You can go to https://surgerycenterok.com/ and see all-inclusive prices for surgeries right now. Some people fly there for procedures. Th
