Perspectives vary. That's what I made on my first job out of college in one of the bigger cities in the Midwest (not Chicago). It was fine for that. I didn't have extravagant tastes, but I didn't penny pinch. I had enough

The user controllability is genius, that neatly ties up their problem. They have a legitimate option to get out of being targeted, which they know almost no one will ever use. They could probably even add a setup prompt on install that sa

It's funding. If the transportation agency had money in their budget, they could just build it as far as I'm aware. Most transportation agencies don't have enough slush money to randomly build a bridge. Taxes are unpopular

Is it only because there's US East and US West? I.e. Maine and New Hampshire can share power generation, and Arizona and New Mexico can share power, we just can't share across the East/West divide, wherever that is?

That assumes that disconnecting from the grid is a viable option. During this issue, disconnecting from the grid had a substantial chance of causing your pipes to freeze and burst. I wouldn't hold my breath that your insurance will c

The accusation (I don't know if it's true, I know next to nothing about NFTs) is that person A buys and NFT for $10,000. Because NFTs are online, and likely pseudonymous, they proceed to list it for sale, and then bid on it to dr

There's 2 potential issues. The first is familiarity. Many Americans have never had a passport, and have no idea what they look like. You can train around that. The second is that driver's licenses are scannable, so you don&#x

> I think it is an equivalent example that if no business was responsible for the risk of accepting bad notes, convenience stores would have a policy of not investigating and actively hindering prosecution on obviously counterfeit notes.

I don't think cities can run a deficit. They would have to pass tax increases to fund that, which would be unpopular.

Many doctors believe participating in executions is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath. I suspect that you're right. > Even if they believe in the death penalty the risk to their careers seems not worth the non-existent reward. I

Which is why you let people defer them, rather than just getting rid of them. If they budgeted for a 200k house, that turned into a 2M house, they should be ecstatic when they sell it, the government takes the property taxes and they still

"power + prejudice" is referred to as "structural racism". It's a sociology term. It was never intended to replace the common definition of racism, it was meant to be a framework for thinking about the different t

That's hard to do because all of those systems are intertwined. If you use the Montana DMV program, and you want people who get DUIs to have their driver's license suspended, now you have to use the Montana Penal System program.

Probably not legally. Prisoners are required to be allowed "reasonable" access to their counsel. They might be able to suspend your ability to call your lawyer, as long as they don't stop you from writing them letters and m

Totally agree. Looking at this, it is substantially more complicated than it was before. I'm guessing up til now, the days of time off earned was done in real time. Basically all you need is the day they entered, divide by 6 and trun

I think maybe they assumed people knew that. I would have assumed people knew that; have people never blown a fuse? Also, several people froze to death. It's a massive liability to tell people to shut their power off when it's bel

They can always pull the main at the breaker. Unfortunately, that's a terrible option too. The cold is survivable with some gear, but your pipes will freeze and burst unless you drain them (which I have no idea how to do, if it can be

Their point is that Texans have no exposure to the spot price of electricity. If demand exceeds supply, we get rolling blackouts. We could reduce demand if people shut off appliances not critical to life (the fridge for one, everything will

My mental image of a steamroller is slow, so they're dodgeable. I don't think I've ever seen one in real life, come to think of it, so maybe that's just me. I would have called it "Russian roulette". High rewar

No, that would be the purpose of a judgement. This isn't a judgement, it's a settlement. To Epic, the purpose is to make this go away. To those suing, the point is take a small but guaranteed windfall rather than risk a lengthy an

That's an interesting thought. Given the prevalence, I almost wonder if it's a bug in an upstream framework or maybe a crazy default only on M1 Mac's in some language. Chrome would also be unsurprising. Theyre known for their

RAM prices have come down significantly. I just helped a friend get 16GB of memory for ~$50. It wasn't super nice fancy RGB LED RAM, but it works. You can still get by on 8GB if you're a lighter user. It's unpleasant for me,

As it relates to the Mac's, I'm starting to wonder if their SMART reporting is just faulty. Power on Hours seems to be definitively wrong, I'm starting to wonder if all of the SMART data is bogus and there is no issue.

That's a lot of write. I think that's 157 full writes of your disk. You're writing out almost a terabyte (or is this terabits?) per day. Your reads are also low in ratio to your write. Are you swapping? This almost looks like
