Is there anything stopping a franchise from putting 2? I think it can’t be required because they have to meet some sort of smallest viable footprint.

What? I don’t write a check to Google to use their email. It’s free.

Right, I thought this was just an arms race for tools that can generate output to fool other tools.

My title became what it is purely so employers could fit me into a comp band that was competitive.

Most people are totally fine relaying everything through a third party. A vanishingly small number of email users host it themselves.

You’re thinking of a quantum jump. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quantum%20leap

True, but I guess some societies decided there was a greater good in that very specific context.

No, I’m not making a comparison to the holocaust. Thanks for asking.

This isn’t paraphrasing, it’s referencing. The reference has become synonymous with saying “this is a slippery slope for X”. As to your use of the argument in the other direction, I’d say it doesn’t work very well because no one with any po

I think that practice came to be when 4loko was forced to lower the caffeine content.

I think the consequence would be less freezer burn and more frost buildup.

That was just for local real-time monitoring iirc, using eg an Emporia Vue. I think you can still get the data from their website.

Most freezers already do a defrost cycle so could probably play with that. It’s only a few degrees oscillation so idk how much savings you could get there.

Right, that’s a nice way of thinking about it.

If you have enough of them you can just lose some fraction and still function.

Just go read the starshot proposal. They address all of these issues, some more convincingly than others but they have thought it out in great detail. In short, it’s a swarm of gram-scale probes and they work together to transmit.

Yes, Long Island is known for having cancer clusters.

No, it’s a relativistic flyby.

As far as I know all of the sensors that are embedded in the pavement use inductance.

I found steel rims to almost always work as long as you put it right over the middle line. In CA they often paint a little bike where you need to put it.

by minitoar 2y ago
that doesn’t work for the majority of these sensors as they rely on inductance

I believe those two events differ in frequency by at least a few orders of magnitude.

No, I think he meant they are literally here. I see one everyday.

That makes sense. They need lots of weird long rig components.

The reason those tools have more limited support for joins is mainly because they are making intentional trade offs in favor of other features, eg performance in a particular domain.

He would be in the wrong to wait and then declare a fuel emergency. He’s supposed to divert once he reaches a certain level. Only if he then had some problem diverting would declaring a fuel emergency become a real option.

For computing devices being smaller typically means using less energy as well, so it’s a bit different than a power generation facility where the whole point is power.

I think they’re trying to limit it to “families” being more than 1 generation and more than 1 person.
