What would it take to change the monopoly of the Xunta de Galicia? Or reform them?

I'm looking for a place to move to in 5-10 years, and A Coruña is one of the places I've been researching! A friend from Spain says it's too cloudy/rainy. What do you think about the weather and any points in general abo

I've seen (in kobo documentation) statements that e-ink displays are good for up to about a million refreshes overall. At 75Hz that means a display might last about 4 hours total. Other displays claim up to 10 million, so that would be

For those thinking about speed: an average human talks anywhere from 120-240 words per minute. An average human who touch types is probably 1/3 to 1/2 as fast as that, while an average human on a phone probably types 1/5 as

The Mac camera light is wired inline. If the camera is on, so is the light. Since we're not seeing the camera light flashing on periodically, this isn't how it's being done.

The Mac camera light is wired inline so as to make this impossible. The only way for the camera to be on and the light not is if the light itself is broken.

Is there anyone who has a credible take on how we avoid an effectively zero-privacy future? AI can identify people by their walk, no facial recognition required, and now technology can detect heartbeats through variations in wifi signals. I

Yeah, that's a bad bet unless Tesla becomes much more than a car company.

Autopilot on a plane requires a pilot in the cockpit. Does that make it "not auto"? I get that there are many who rush to defend Musk/Tesla. I'm not one of them. I was just caught off guard by the headline. To me, changi

Well there you go. It seems clear that most of what Tesla has said is compatible with the application of the word "supervised" without really changing the meaning much. But a few statements, and the overall implication, very muc

Oh good lord, why? This is a solved problem, why would they waste their time on it. Wait, I think I know the answer: Elon's famous (at SpaceX) for saying the most reliable part is no part. So maybe this is a consequence of that. In any

Thx for this! The one that stands out is the guy who says "my grandmother who doesn't speak the language and doesn't drive" -- that speaks to unsupervised. That said, most of rest don't seem incompatible with &quo

Yeah, I know he said this. Setting aside the two years aspect, which obviously didn't pan out/was a lie if we're being harsh, I don't see this language as incompatible with the current change -- they're adding &quot

Honest question: did Tesla in the past promise that FSD would be unsupervised ? My based-on-nothing memory is that they weren't promising that you wouldn't have to sit in the driver's seat, or that your steering wheel would

Power line theft was my first thought as well. I was just at the FDR library and one thing that stood out was how uncertain/experimental he was: we think of FDR's work as "public works, new deal, social security, WWII" b

Cites please. Seriously, if there is a chronically-biased Wikipedia page I would very much like to know about it.

None as far as I know, but I haven't been following them.

Dang! 45 minutes is not slow for a 10K (depending on your age and overall fitness, obviously). My pace for a half marathon is slower than that.

This is, in some sense, exactly what Trump wants -- to hurt the cities/liberal regions that oppose him. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

I know that this is the result of summing a much larger gain + a slightly smaller loss, but it's weird reading this number in isolation and knowing that my company is responsible for roughly 5% of this gain.

"simple cross-platform GUI+programming language" livecode.com fits that description. It's been my daily driver for years, but full disclosure I'm now looking for something similar to your requirements, but python-based.

When I go longer I set up a laptop beside me and watch something. It does require wireless headphones, or a long cord, since you're going back and forth through 3-5 feet.

Wow, and I thought I was suited to long distance :-) I definitely tend to row longer -- from 5Ks to an hour -- but I can't say I don't feel it. Sanity-checking: what pace are you setting? Or: what distance are you covering in 45

I’ve rowed a marathon ( several, actually) on a concept 2. I’d even say I’m pretty suited to long distance rowing, since I usually don’t drink or eat while doing a marathon. That said, the idea of going much longer than that — like an eight
