Your federal law does not necessarily apply everywhere a tesla may be purchased and operated (I'm not saying it makes economic sense or anything, just that US law is likely not the sole reason it's there)

Exactly what I meant, and then you use their own SIM to DoS or DDoS them until they or their network provider disconnect the service.

I had the pleasure of using one in an airbnb that wouldn't allow you to change volume during the first 5 seconds. It would also not boot up on the previous input, so could be quite noisy with no recourse.

maybe one way to fight this is by finding a way to abuse these SIMs/connections to use a lot of data en masse until they get cut off or dropped altogether.

the same way they enforce baggage requirements. When money's involved, the enforcement will happen. Maybe you buy "x kg plus or minus 5 kg" and they weigh you and penalize/refund if it's changed since buying the tic

I lost 40 kg at some point - then you see what they charge for baggage (yes, yes, baggage handling has costs) and think you should get a discount

I got sick of apps circumventing the various basic android "mute except for x app and phone calls" features that I just turn off wifi and data when I go to sleep. If it's important enough, they will call and my phone will rin

I had this problem with a hand cranked ikea standing desk, it was miserable to do regularly. Especially after I was moved to that from a convenient and fast spring loaded system.

I'm just sad you think there's decency in being rehired in a situation like that, you shouldn't even be fired to start with! Times like this I'm glad I didn't pick the US as a place to live.

Unrelated to the main thread, but > "I have a soft spot for it, especially the amazing Unity days." I found that funny since unity was why I left ubuntu (sort of, cos Linux mint) until I discovered i3wm and came back without un

This thread wasn't about the article's piece of art, more about the example provided by me as being a gimmick disguised as art. As stated in the root comment, I like the piece the link is about as it's far more authentic. (Ob

yeah, i guess so. Look, I can appreciate art, when the intention and meaning is legitimate - that is up to the audience to judge for themselves. When it's random crap being monetized as art (very pretentiously), I can't get behind

When I think of art that combines tech and art - this is the kind of thing that comes to mind, I really like it. Some of the things you see attempting to combine technology and art is a serious con [0]. Don't get me wrong, the space me

I got my first junior role by applying for a senior role. Granted, I was definitely lucky they had one, but I got my foot through the senior screening tests and then realised I was in over my head. HR was kind enough to redirect me to a n

There is some tooling around this that makes it a little less painful, for example with okta i use a tool [0] that i only have to worry about once a day usually, and it's not as painful as okta's own tooling. However, it does requ

This was kind of the case before the Syrian civil war though. "Unskilled" Labourers from Syria would work the week in Lebanon, live in miserable, cramped conditions, then go home for the weekend. Rinse/Repeat. The earning pow

The (more local) news I'm reading, it was apparently known to be dangerous immediately, and regularly reported (~twice a year), just never actioned to remove it. To me that's where the criminal responsibility lies. The beating-aro

As a Lebanese who lived in Lebanon for 5 years (far away now, happily) - I always found it amazing that glass facades were being built on the newer buildings. For a country/city that's known for the occasional explosion it definit

Iirc (top of my head), some datacenters go off the grid regularly at peak (provider) load times and get more favorable rates for doing it. I guess it ensures your fuel doesn't go stale and all your transfer systems work.

When I was trying to get as much information as I could (I'm a Lebanese abroad) I automatically mentally filtered out/skipped what trump was saying. Literally not worth the time. Anything officials say unofficially has more value

On the flipside (just an anecdote, not making any points), we had a hard time turning this noise filtering consistently off for a colleague of ours who speaks without a voice box. He kept getting filtered out randomly and we couldn't u

Not somebody who'd need to make this decision but: I guess it'd depend on the cost to your business of a half hour outage.

For me the problem would be learning how something does or does not work, even with a compiled language. The reason I hate Spring for example (not that I've worked with it extensively) is that the documentation gives you zero feel for

I know that exact feeling. The first time I solved an issue and felt that rush is the moment I knew I wanted to pursue CS. Haven't looked back since.

Depends on what you're doing, driving or flying - you don't want surprises, they'd definitely be concerning. Privacy too in my opinion.
