> This is great news for U.S. sellers, especially eBay sellers. Exactly the intended consequence. Why should US taxpayers subsidize shipping costs for products to come from China? It made no sense at all in today's economy unless

It’s almost like these people are more interested in pushing a narrative and not the facts?

I expect them to loosely categorize politics, while still encouraging open corporate discussion of LGBTQ, racial, and other such issues. People may have different opinions about that.

Not only that, but the accusations against Epstein wasn’t just that he’s a pedophile, but he was perhaps running blackmail on people using that disgusting entrapment scheme. We’ll see how much of that turns out to be true in the end. The DO

At least in my installation they’re all strongly fastened to a cross bar. I’m not quite sure how they would shift in that scenario?

Corporations are just people, the same as countries are just people. To think that they operate apart from the decisions of their leaders and members is just silly. There aren’t “good” and “bad” corporations. There’s good and bad leaders an

personally I’d prefer a templatized yaml file over an over-engineered, snowflake DSL created by a “real programmer” and not an ops person.

That works but it’s an uncommon pattern. Most people prefer to wait in my opinion. I single DB worker doing batch updates would probably be enough.

"That's the one day I saw a linux server crash..." Most unbelievable part of the story. Cracked me up.

Personally even for exceptionally uneven lit frames why drop into manual? Point the spot meter to the area you want exposed, hold hallway down and readjust shot. This is so much faster. For places that are controlled for light and movement

Auto iso is better now, but not that long ago higher iso (above 200 really) would introduce unacceptable artifacts into the picture.

I know almost no professionals who shoot on manual mode outside of studio settings. The computer is almost always better at guessing things like light and temperature. The only time manual mode is used is when you're in a studio where

I think this is a great idea. And why not glass? It worked in the past. Glass bottles still work in many countries.

> The server reports around 98 Watt of power ... by default, this server is turned off. This is a poor tradeoff to me. A low power computer can be left on all the time, and be there for you when you need it for things like openvpn or ssh

Go on Nextdoor and share your good news. Ask if there’s any hand-me-downs available. You’ll be surprised. The stuff people held onto but are now finally giving away is usually the good stuff that they really liked. Oh and congratulations!

Here’s[1] an early picture of a social security card where it says plainly it’s not for identification purposes. What’s the better solution — the government making it so you can change your ssn? Or legislation that shifts the liability burd

That doesn’t even work in all situations. What if the system requires development packages? What if it’s a different OS or architecture? Packaging is a nightmare.

Sounds like you'd gladly switch seats with me on a 4 hour flight next to a horse.

Fun thought. It would probably be much easier (and more dangerous?) simply using a relay and switching mains voltage than 20v DC for such an application.

Of course it has a cost. Everything has a cost. Maybe you meant the net benefit of immigration is greater than the initial cost burden in the long term? I agree with that. Or do you really believe that tripling the amount of software engine

Not only that but it provides no social services, so there’s no government cost or burden to immigration. Similar to how the US was in its early history but contrast to how the US and Europe is now.

Actually we are hurting for more humans depending on what you want. For example social programs are built with very generous population growth predictions. Social security is solvent to 2035 according to our own government estimates: >
