I know this isn't the SV-approach to things but maybe they intend to offer consulting services for those looking for some expertise with the ecosystem, bill hours, and retire in their 50s as millionaires instead of billionaires. This m

Truck drivers have been dealing with electronic log books for years, anyone in the industry is used to it by now. Article is paywalled for me, but if this driver has a CDL and expects to be able to put it to use elsewhere without monitorin

Citation needed. "They" in your post is strawman and I've never heard this argument expressed.

I have two gas fireplaces, neither use power (nor have any available). Valves and safety is handled via millivolt thermopiles in the pilot light and main flame. Heating happens via convection through ducts that run from below to around&#x

This could be really helpful in the embedded space on devices like the ESP32 which offer both the BTLE radio required to advertise the feature and the WiFi radio to make use of it.

A free market involves a customer that has the option to simply not buy what is on offer. Healthcare can never be a free market in this sense, because the customer is faced with a choice of "buy service and/or product" or &q

IBM of 2020 isn't the IBM of 2000. I'll look at their actions, not their words.

It's not small versus big, Red Hat was a $34B acquisition. It's big and bigger. People are pointing at IBM because this is 100% the predictable consequence of a company like IBM purchasing an open source software organization.

Is this still true with the use of SynRM motors (as deployed by Tesla)?

Having people only make slightly less than you terrifies you? Why does knowing someone else might be getting a tiny raise terrify you?

If I say something publicly on an world-accessible platform, then sure go ahead and record it. I'm not sure I understand what problem you have with this.

Freedom of speech != freedom from consequences of your speech. It's not like somebody hacked someone's private messaging system. If you put the world on blast with your dumb ideas, I don't have any problem with others pointi

It feels like your argument here is that any company that employees people should be allowed to do anything, because stopping them from doing something would negatively impact their employees.

That's exactly what "retribution" covers, a sense that justice has been done for the victims and the community. Rehabilitation: should be obvious, nordic countries are well known for prioritizing this. Deterrence: again obvio

Wikipedia[1] lays out a list of common justifications for imprisonment that feels accurate: rehabilitation, deterrence, incapacitation, and retribution. Different societies may prioritize each of those differently. I don't think it&#x

Maybe around an order of magnitude more. The big difference is that square inch of tape might be 3-5 orders of magnitude cheaper to manufacture.

That sounds pretty fantastical. Any chance you have a source?

Anywhere on the globe in less than an hour... plus months of planning and days of preparing the launch vehicle. How fast can one "scramble" a Starship off the ground?

It's more likely still that the person answering emails didn't know the answer, and either was unmotivated or unable to put the question in front of someone who did know the answer and then follow up with them to respond. This is

This question is somewhat akin to the problem that Decartes eventually chose to resolve with "I think, therefore I am". The way I understand it, you can't really decide this so presume it to be true or nothing at all can be

Check eBay for corporate standard desktops which are dumped on there regularly. Dell OptiPlex is a good starting point, scale the price with age and you'll still wind up with a lot of compute for not a lot of money.

I would respond that replacing a battery on a modern iPhone is similarly easy. The tools are plastic, cheap, and as others have noted, are often bundled with the battery. The only price delta here is the cost of the battery itself.

The same is true of watches and nobody is calling for an act of congress about it. If you want something to be waterproof and small and lightweight, you are probably going to trade off some service accessibility. They haven't gone out

So how do you deal with IMAP? The protocol doesn't support i12n. There's more to GMail than the web front-end.
