Single entry bookkeeping isn't really a thing and isn't really keeping books. It's just an account register or account statement with no totals or anything to check against. Double entry basically just means that for every tr

There is potentially more to it than that since he also had to leverage his stock for part of the purchase price. There will be interest on that, and since the stock price has been rather volatile, there may be margin calls as well.

I think the only thing that saved musk is that he called him a "pedo guy" which is/was slang in south Africa in the 80s meaning just creepy. You usually can't be sued for general opinions. However, I seem to remember tha

It was definitely the day I realized that he was not the brilliant strategic person he is portrayed as.

The tweets didn't force him to buy, but had he not bought, he would have been in trouble again with the SEC for stock manipulation. Although I'm sure that would have cost him a lot less than $44B so I think it was his pride and ar

What is culturally seen as looking nice may change over the years, but the fact that looking as nice as possible even if casual helps you in the workplace and life never really changed. We have sort of leaned into looking like you aren&#x27

I use frigate and like it. But it did take me a few hours to figure out all the right config file settings for my 3 cameras and then figure out how to configure storage settings and the like. And that's not counting the fact that I alr

I am using Frigate. Simple, open source project. It streams the cameras and can do object and motion detection and only record for specific events (like motion). It allows me to set how long to keep the recordings. For any additional functi

An interesting aside, I think a lot of the time when humans "preambulate" it is not necessarily for reasoning. Many times it is for a very similar reason to why LLMs do it.

Less of a worry than artificial sweeteners and the like, but I think still a concern is that almost all the fruits and vegetables we eat today are "engineered". When I buy a box of blackberries, they are perfectly black, sweet, ju

I'm annoyed that they keep raising the price to pay for a streaming service I barely use. But I still can get most things next day or two days at most. And I very much enjoyed the Lord of the Rings series they did. High production qual

Yes, but my recollection is that the whale fail was usually due to huge growth or unprecedented traffic peaks. I don't think Twitter is growing at a fast rate any longer.

What accounts for a 40% collapse? That's an enormous shortfall for such a large economy.

The same could be said for any land. You could grow crops on it or lease it out forever. They have to give you a reasonable price, but it is rarely enough to appease the owners. Which is why they are taking it by force.

It seems like nothing is necessarily wrong with the software itself. Its the opsec surrounding the software. The most secure software in the world can be pwned if you can get access to the lead dev's system or the build system itself.

I have mine setup to send me a text message for every transaction. However, I suppose I might stop getting the texts if my number was compromised.

I think we are all just talking about start and stop delivery trucks. I know the UPS vehicles as well as the USPS vehicles in my area all stop running the engine when they stop and get out.

The lactose tolerance part doesn't really make sense because dairy products are not naturally high in vitamin D. Companies add the vitamin D to milk. Butter is an exception because it is nearly all fat, so it has a lot more vitamin D.

I know that foreign nationals and foreign governments are prohibited from donating money to super PACs. They are also prohibited from even indirect, non-coordinated expenditures for or against a political candidate. (which is basically what

I would think that high end construction paint also has more pigment. Not sure how it would compare, but I know painting a large area with artist grade paint could get exorbitantly expensive.

I get 2% cash back on all my purchases. So they are going to have to drop prices by more than that. And I also get the protection of the cc company if my card info is stolen or a company doesn't deliver what they promised.

The psychologists/therapists themselves would always be bound by HIPPA, from what I understand. But I don't think that a service like BetterHelp would be bound any more than google calendar would be bound by HIPPA just because doc

My family lives in a rural community where most people know everyone's name. So I have successfully sent a postcard to myself across the US with simply my first name and the zip code.

by jjeaff 4y ago
No, it almost certainly has to do with the local postal workers not wanting to put out the effort. If the zip code is there, it will usually be sent to that particular post office first.

Most gas delivery vehicles don't idle these days. But maybe the starter motor requires more maintenance.

I think the trolley problem itself is reasonable. Especially considering the implications of self driving vehicles and the need to program the decision making that could come to play if a car hurtling down the road has to choose between sma

Of course any code requires some refresher at time, but the difficulty and time required to figure it out again is a spectrum that goes all the way down to the seventh circle of hell.

Interestingly, some accounts of the yet to be fully released FBI report on the gun in question state that the FBI investigators caused the weapon to fire without pulling the trigger because the gun was in such poor condition, that one of th
