I sincerely believe that the police officers who carry a gun must demonstrate fitness -- physical, mental, psychologically, target practice, gun safety, etc at least once a month from an independent third party. There is no way all these po

You see the problem though, don't you? We can't define time with a day has x hours, an hour has y minutes, and a minute has z seconds. If we define time outside of the rotation of the earth, metric is meaningless. We should be abl

> It’s an SI unit. There is really nothing scientific about time as we mortals use it. As soon as you bind the definition of time to the rotation of the earth, all bets are off about being "scientific". A day has x hours. An h

Just curious if you have seen the special irregular USB A plug for the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro. If so, what are your thoughts on it? https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1XeKTDHSYBuNjSspiq6xNzpXae.jpg... imgur mirror https:/&

I thought the whole point of an HSA was to be used as a tax shelter. I didn't get one because it seemed way too complicated and also I don't make nearly enough money to set aside money in an HSA but that's what I remember whe

I think you will love the way Microsoft handles this. Basically, there are automated flags that seem to ding managers (M1 I believe) so they will make sure the people in their teams handle these. > any engineer on that team who came acro

This makes a lot of sense because a company with a decent size it infrastructure team probably gets its windows licenses directly from Microsoft so there is that perverse incentive for Lenovo Thinkpads and the likes to make the sticker pric

Even today I don't fully understand what a bus really is. I mean I sort of get that it is one or more (copper?) wires that carry information as electricity somehow but at no point do I remember anyone saying this explicitly in any of m

One thing I have a problem with in the workplace is what goes unsaid because everyone in the (chat) room already understands the premise and are on the same page versus things they have not even thought about. For example, let's say th

Sorry if I'm missing something here. Maybe it is just too obvious and doesn't need to be stated? Maybe. I don't know but I don't see how we can avoid the elephant in the room when we talk about cereals. I'm talking

I would like something similar for Mozilla Firefox. On a very basic level, maybe Mozilla Firefox reader view can ignore the loading equals lazy hint and load all images. One step deeper, maybe we can keep these articles in some kind of loc

Assuming you want net metering, you’d need controls in place for grid safety and such and all the permits and inspections which take time and cost money.

for reference, I am typing this on a minisforum um560XT which is a small desktop with a Ryzen 5600H mobile processor. The whole thing cost me under USD 500 with 500 GB SSD, 32 GB of RAM, and a windows 11 Pro license. Somehow I doubt there w

Edit: for the US We start sending CEOs and members of the board to prison (preferably for life) for acts of a company's employees, contractors, and agents in service of the company. Rinse and repeat until companies get the message.

Which brings us to our original point, it is better if you are sincere to spend this money on electricity generation. In the US, we have over 20% of electricity coming from coal. Any money spent on anything else should first go toward pushi

At a savings of USD 80 million or more per engine, I'd say it is well worth it to push deadlines or whatever we need to do to consider the cheaper options. Right now it looks and smells like corruption.

I always say this - there is no such thing as a rollback. Anyone who pretends you can simply "roll back" a stateful application is out of their mind. If you can roll back and forward events, good for you but for most of us rollbac

I think it is worth mentioning here that Microsoft does not care about user privacy. I don't know if this is because Microsoft took down the blog posts and press releases or because Google web search sucks now (different conversation)

> human correcting things here and there is always still an option Isn’t that what we are asking for though? We know there will be fewer people working in the industry. We want to ensure those who will work will be paid fairly.
