I have most certainly used 100% of the runtime. So you're more than welcome to do so as well, you might just have to replace it in 8 years instead of 10. YMMV. Could be worse - could be lead acid and weigh 2x as much and you only get h

This is a good time to point out that when there is a data breach, data is rarely stolen. The real threat and harm is when data that is stolen is used against you.

Yes and no. 0% you should be fine, but generally speaking you'll get longer life out of LifePO4 if you stay between 10% and 80%. Most battery based PV systems are installed to shut off (or switch to grid) at the 10% SOC mark for this

It seems the throughput has evolved over each spec but the reliability and distance hasn't, unless I'm mistaken? This is a big problem in place where concrete is used to build homes (e.g. the tropics) as the improvements to Wifi a

Eh, it does and it doesn't. PE investors actively are asking why more of the portfolio companies aren't generating codebases using Claude Code. You are right that lawyers are asking about code generated by LLMs but this is more of

Totally agreed. I work in M&A. Nearly every lawyer, accountant, investor, and software business owner thinks their code is solely valuable and a trade secret. I find it hilarious and try to be as diplomatic as possible about why it&#x27

What's probably WAY worse than this is that most healthcare providers running OpenEMR are likely on older versions of OpenEMR where CVEs are already detected.

This application doesn't work without FFMPEG. I'm not arguing that the wrapper isn't valuable, I'm saying there is a significant chunk of it that is required for us to work is an open source library.

The parent commenter is making that comment because this is precisely the nature of why the GPL license exists. Most of the processing of this application is FFMPEG, so why should someone who has done zero development on that library commer

This gets into game theory and doesn't follow a predetermined flow like you're suggesting. It's a bit like playing poker...does the guy who just went all in have pocket Aces or not?

Correct. This is an important distinction. Matt Levine has a good take on this. His informal, distilled definition is essentially: - There is a time gap where insiders know something material and the public does not. - Someone with access t
