Anyone can fall for these attacks in the moment, even experts. That was the point of the article. What makes us vulnerable is that we are human: we get tired, caught up in the urgency of the call and our logical thinking stops working. The

Amazing. Almost makes me want to move to the states (from NZ) to work with you. Always gratifying to see a job posting where you tick every box. What a great automation environment! Almost clean-slate too, you don't need to integrate w

I often feel bad asking for a discount. I know that my 10% discount is often halving their profit for the item. I prefer shops where they have already offered stock at their best price and refuse to price it lower. One less thing to worry a

Those shops are for other people than you or I. Those who don't care about spending money, or so busy buying everything they see. The last thing you want to do with a customer like that is remind them they are spending money.

Perhaps it was the 8 years that did it? During those first years they would have paid off all the equipment and sold the treatment to the vast portion of eligible patients. Congrats for asking! I should try that!

Sounds like it would also directly cool surface water, by replacing it with very cold deep water. That cooling would directly reduce current average earth temperatures, in addition to the CO2 impact on long term heating / cooling.

Both tolls or the requirement to have an "expensive car" (electric) quickly become discrimination against poor people. Possibly unintentional discrimination. I think it should be simple occupancy based only - vehicles with 3 occup

Perhaps it reflects the transport choices of the lawmakers. They spend more time frustrated on the 101 than they spend attempting to use a bus or train.

You sound reasonable, but the same tech which can censor one thing can censor other things. It's the thin edge of a wedge.

Specifically about covid - I think everyone knows that nothing is perfect. Arguing that other people think either vaccines or masks are perfect is a classic strawman argument. [1] Vaccines are less-bad than a Covid infection, training your

A fair perspective. It's also possible that your isolation from media has let you return to see what was wrong with that media all along. Possibly you were simply blind to how bad it was before, or just used to it. I concur that it is

Even this quote implies that reaching perfection is a process. One in which you create a rough solution and remove imperfections and extra parts until the minimal and perfect solution remains.

Real perfectionism doesn't mean you do perfect work. It means you never (or rarely) ship, or perhaps never start. You don't ask for help, you feel anxious about perceptions. You reduce the scope until a task is trivial, or increas

Typically in a 5v system you'd treat capacitor output voltages under 2.3V as pressed and over 2.3V as released. There is a "pullup" resistor and the switch is wired to "pull down" the circuit towards ground, through

One way is a RC circuit - where the switch (the keyboard button) in series with a resistor then charges a capacitor. You specify the ratio of resistance to capacitance so it takes long enough for the switch to stop bouncing before the capac

I concur that the GP was a bit dramatic in their use of the term "Slave," but they raised a valid point. Voter suppression is a real thing in the United States. It's a strategy often used to hold and retain power by the minor

Well, we've done it with concrete tents [1]. It seems plausable you could begin with that kind of shelter and use that as a basis for further reinforcement. [1] https://www.concretecanvas.com/cc-shelters/

Simplest way to store energy for ascent is a counterweight, similar to existing lifts. That rope can also be used as an emergency stop.

Sounds like it's a pretty simple loop of 1. Find bright spots in last second of exposure (which is then added to a sum for the final picture) 2. Compare their locations to bright spots in the previous second 3. Move the sensor slightly

Isn't that the gizmo that triggers external (studio / photo-shoot) lights to flash? It sends a radio or IR signal on shutter press rather than flashing on the camera. An alternative are studio lights which are set up to trigger wh

Taking Procedural Movie-quality 3D asset tools and putting them in the hands of small studios to lift their games closer to AAA production values sounds like a smart play by Unity. It's similar to unreal acquiring Quixel Megascans [1]

Shouting isn't actually dangerous. It's only dangerous when it is combined with violence or a threat of violence. In this case it's more of an emotional outburst due to frustration. If you suppress all emotion with an escalat

Probably the reporter assumes most people consider the whole "spinny thing that keeps helicopter in air" package to be one thing. Turbine, rotor and all.

It would crash. A dirigible requires a temperature difference between the ambient (surrounding) air and the air inside the lift bladder. Or the same temperature but different density. The heat of the lava would create an area of lower air d
