The SolarWorld company is no more :( Which means your experience is irreplicable, other companies' solar panels may be crap.

I've heard it's pretty standard, their real estate agent should know that (and tell them about it on their first visit).

What the panels' technology / manufacturer?

On my camera I only see cats. And AFAIK, domestic cats eat way more wild birds than anything and everything else human-made combined.

Nope, you pay only for parking/camping (at least in CA and WA). You can legally walk on foot paying nothing.

Yep, and I would not say they are "open spaces" if the owners yell at you for stepping on it.

Well, golf fields are not as bad for environment as datac... I mean mines and factories. Really, golf courses are taxed much lower usually, as they go as green open spaces (similar to protected forest areas), and also their assessed land va

As far as I was taught in college, evolution never stops, but we're just too short lived to notice that. We _may_ notice some very tiny blip on timescales of several hundred years, but last really noticeable traits happened many thousa

Wars did become less violent, but the on scales of several hundreds of years. I'm not talking about industrializing death, but about desire of violence (civilian suffering, genocide). Evolution is very slow.

Their leader tried to solve a global problem, not calling it a hoax. When their plan didn't work, they really listened to experts, whatever they had, and changed approach. Too optimistic even for modern times I would say.

An with proper view on the management. You see, Idiocracy is too optimistic, because their leader genuinely tried to solve a global problem, which is already unbelievable today. Moreover, when their plan didn't work, they really listen

Exactly my point: power, resources -- it's just so little of it here on this tiny planet. Humans are so funny to think they have resources, ha.

Humans are so full of themselves! Living for a very short time on a tiny grain of rock in a vast and abundant galaxy, they cannot fathom that what they ever saw is just tiny fraction of a percent of a fraction of the Big Life outside. Any r

No, it's free for everyone for the data sizes they have: Free tier: 10 GB of active storage and 1 TiB of query data processed per month.

BigQuery has "public datasets", so users can even run complex SQL on it, but it's them who pays for it, not you. You only pay for data storage.

It's not auditors, it's the compliance requirements and controls. You should not even reach to an auditor before fixing the controls (most of them, the ones you lack auditor must flag, as sometimes it's not feasible to fix mo

But a manager came to my desk and asked "what can we do for the AI era"?

by deepsun 3mo ago
Is it per hour/day/month?

by deepsun 3mo ago
Well you "claiming controls" to an independent CPA auditor. If a licensed CPA helps you lie -- they might lose their license (and can even get to prison), just like a tax preparer CPA can.

> "look I can afford 50k" Oh no. Looks like you never went through SOC2. 1. No, it does not require 50k, an auditor can cost way less (10k? maybe even less). 2. But the process of preparing for the audit will take a lot of work

Maybe because they want to train on your data? Workspace AIs are not trained on your corporate data.

What I see today public will reelect anyway. So no worries about that either.

There are water bodies (Black Sea?) that are very poor at depths, so matter decays very slowly. Bogs aka peatlands are also like that, you can literally preserve meat and other organics, and let it sediment.

Maybe no, as they don't watch ads that are so pervasive in classic TV? Just kidding.

Dunno if useful, but in RC hobby area we have had OSD (on-screen displays) for decades. Both in analog and digital video, with recording (analog OSD there's just a small chip). Although analog is probably not relevant for you -- qualit

The problem is radiation. Empty space is not really empty, there are stray atoms floating around. Very scattered, but at a high impact momentum penetrate the ship ionizing anything in their way, and making the ship itself radioactive. Not e
