This is the unfortunate logical conclusion to industries becoming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive. When most industries were labor intensive it made little sense to aggregate businesses. Your costs are defined by the price of

I actually didn't know that, I thought manufacturing was gated behind FFL licenses. That's good to know, I appreciate the correction!

I doubt it, there's really no status with it. I use one of the competitors. I don't feel special at all. Literally anyone can spend $8/month to do it, it's not even really expensive enough to be exclusive. I do it becaus

Be very careful with those. It's *very* easy to end up on the wrong side of the ATF. I.e. on that one you posted, he's calling it a pistol, but it appears to have a stock to me. I believe that makes it a rifle in ATF terms. Rif

It seems like it wouldnt be hard to have the hazard lights start blinking if the airbags deploy. I think the issue is that those lights are on the main power circuit, which shuts down if the user turns off the car. That appears to be what h

It's not going to be reliable with just cameras. You can use where the headlights disappear and reappear to draw an arc of occluded space. You should be able to measure how quickly that arc changes to estimate the distance If you'

They're not going to roll unless it's something incredibly top heavy like a Jeep. It's a car, turning the wheel 90 degrees only turns the wheels like 10 degrees. Also, a sideswipe is almost certainly preferable for everyone t

I may just work with file permissions more than most, but I prefer the octal for its density. It's easy to tell my coworker the permissions are wrong, it should be 755 not 644. It's a lot harder to convey that they should be rwx

I think there are absolutely a list of things that I don't want the company doing on my hardware, but I'm okay with on their hardware. Off the top of my head, remote wipes/resets make sense. Frankly, I prefer the company has

Not OP, but I've seen some of this (though not terribly often). I don't think I've ever seen it come to a head and be explicitly about an attribute like that. I think that would make a lot of people uncomfortable. Usually w

It won't happen. Our current justice system _needs_ a lot of people to take plea bargains, because neither the defense, nor prosecution, nor judges, have the resources for most cases to actually hit the courtroom. Studies estimate tha

> (a) more efficient because you don't need to execute JS to evaluate each request This is true, but I think overly performance-focused. It doesn't feel like that much time, so I think there's a valid complaint that it

It's not effective in cases where the disease is neutralized by the environment before you would wash your hands anyways. A lot of diseases can't survive outside the body for long; I think this is more true of viruses than bacter

When I tried to write one, I couldn't find a way to do it at compile time without generics. You can do it before compile time with code generation, or after compilation by coding dynamic objects and end up with something like sqlalche

Most people where I work have already adapted to it, we've been remote for like 2 years at this point. Most of my coworkers have already invested in their home office, to the point where it's drastically nicer than their work cou

Nobody said Apple doesn't have a monopoly on App Store payments. I'd be shocked if even Apple tried to argue that, because it's obviously false. They determined Apple does not have a monopoly on mobile gaming (iirc); the sc

The sole advantage that I'll grant ad-funded services is that they tend to far more open-access than the alternatives. Bill Gates and homeless people get the same features from Facebook. The rich subsidize the poor without ever having
