When it comes to security a threat actor is often someone you invited in who exceeds their expected authorization and takes harmful action they weren't supposed to be able to do. They're still an attacker from the perspective of a

Exactly. Turning tertiary education into a third tier of babysitting just screws over the adults who actually grew up during secondary school. Tell them how to succeed in your class and then let them fail if they won't listen to you!

I'm not questioning that NYC's subway is a disaster. Yes, I've spent time in it and have spent time in a few specific European subways and am well aware of the difference. I'm all for questioning why NYC's subway is

This is a pretty sweeping generalization both on the Europe+China side and the US side. I'm certain that there are cities in Europe and China that struggle just as much with corruption and graft as NYC does and there are also cities in

Is it connected with an organization? I don't see any evidence of that in the About page or anywhere else. The donations page says to find a local wildlife sanctuary and donate to that, then links out to two options if you really can&#

All of the best professors I had either did not grade homework or weighted it very small and often on a did-you-do-it-at-all basis and did not grade attendance at all. They provided lectures and assignments as a means to learn the material

What you're missing is that it's right on the cusp of being a learning tool instead of a silly game because it has regressed below the cusp. It was a useful learning tool, and its trajectory has been strictly downward for year

Agreed. Duolingo started out on the right foot: they had gamification, but not too much of it, and they clearly cared about helping you learn. For a long time it was the most highly recommended app for learning new languages and that wasn

Both processes create/release heat, and in Alec's tests in the linked video the bulk of the heat from the dehumidifier running in a humid space is coming from latent heat released from the water. That may not be true in regular op

by lolinder 1y ago
Yeah, there's certainly some of that, but going off of Alec's numbers and trial above you end up with a larger portion coming from the latent heat than from the mechanism, for the same reason that a heat pump is more efficient t

I totally understand that inversion but I think it's a bad analogy. Industrial automation works by taking a rigorously specified designs developed by engineers and combining it with rigorous quality control processes to ensure the inpu

Less energy would definitely be a huge plus but unless this violates our understanding of thermodynamics there will still be unwanted heat put out into the air. The heat from a dehumidifier comes primarily from the latent heat in the wate

Why are you framing this as being primarily about Google being un-sueable? There's clearly a problem with Google being difficult to work with to re-claim ownership of a business profile (no customer support, as always) and Google obvio

Google should be forced to do this, but also I'm pretty sure that this behavior by Lieferando breaks existing laws that just need to be enforced.

But the point is that you're going to have a hard time bootstrapping a new phone ecosystem in the current environment. If it's mission critical then they need to be throwing everything at it, not doing it as one option among many.

The slope of the scales has no bearing on whether percentages are meaningful here. The problem with both systems when it comes to percentages is that neither system has 0 set to a natural 0. This leads to an entirely arbitrary point on the
