It’s as simple as “Hey gAI, I sent an email about xyz the other day, have you had a chance to look at it?” No need to say nothing but hi or be indirect.

In the US, it seems at the policy level this would be impossible to implement. From a practicality level, it would take very long to validate to the point of stifling innovation (good or bad) and would require international cooperation. Com

> And why aren't these chemicals banned? Not saying they shouldn’t be, but a problem is companies will just move on the the next, likely bad, similar chemical until it is also banned. I’ve seen suggestions to require chemicals to be

I understand sales tax is in theory regressive, but this seems wrong/naive upon scrutiny because you would assume higher earners consume more than low earners, thus contribute more sales tax in absolute terms, if not quite in relative

Perhaps this is the law, but unlike some other states, there is rarely signage to remind drivers (though I doubt even still it would the followed or enforced).

I don’t have either, but it seems to me a PHEV is a great EV alternative for people who do a lot of local (city) driving and also occasionally need a vehicle to do weekend trips for camping, etc, where charging is not available or an inconv

You can use a robot for screws, but things like wiring can be difficult or impossible for a robot. Not to mention for low volume, setting up robotics isn’t worth it.

I think one of the better potential use cases for AR is for manufacturing work instructions. Typically, these are in binders or displayed on screens, but highlighting assembly steps, part orientations/locations, etc virtually would be

I don’t doubt that these interactions have some minuscule effect on pinball performance, but I’m skeptical that you couldn’t get close enough with some relatively simple models. Eg count the lights on and model a draw in remaining power ava

As far as I can tell, increasing cad prices are mostly pegged to inflation (the last couple years excepted).

Until the last couple centuries, traveling across the sea to an unknown land may have been just as remote.

IKEA has mid and high tier options in a number of categories. While certainly not necessarily comparable to premium mass-produced furniture brands, definitely a step up.

I’m skeptical that shortcuts and button layouts are patentable. I understand that the underlying behavior may be. All major mechanical cad platforms basically have the same tool ribbons and sketching functionality.

I wish they would copy-paste Illustrator’s ui and shortcuts, or have an Illustrator mode. This applies to Gimp v Photoshop too. Many people are coming from Adobe layouts and shortcuts. For example, I find using path tools much slower in Ink

This is more or less what the entire entertainment industry is doing with endless reboots, sequels, remasters, new formats, etc.

This might be true for business apps, but I don’t see any suitable replacements (by a long shot) for mechanical CAD, Adobe Suite, etc.

At what point is preventing evaporation a bad thing? I realize that we have already done quite a bit to change when and where water evaporates, but doesn’t moving where, if ever, the water evaporates affect the local water cycle?

It’s the same in SF, where the most visible crimes by far are not murder, but smash and grabs and shoplifting.

Yes absolutely. In my mind, the US has had a robust rock and pop history, but name an artist pre 2000 and a good chance they are from the UK. The US slays now with hip hop and r&b, but the UK has their own unique scenes like grime, whic

I’ve always felt the UK has an outsize contribution to music, especially in modern electronic/dance music, compared to the US.

Missing context the ocr didn’t catch : The dog, a poodle named Cachi, hit 75-year-old Marta Espina on her head and both the woman and the dog died instantly. Edith Sola, 46, died on the spot when knocked down by a bus while standing in the

That study (if true) is obviously exaggerated, but the main issue is water diverted from rivers like the Colorado. Cows milk requires something like double the water of almond milk and an order of magnitude more water than oat milk.

Software is not unique in that it has a high degree of specialization that cannot be touched on in a general education. Probably 90% of skills/knowledge in my non-software engineering career was not taught in my program and generously
