If it's truly a matter of ambiguity then the court is not adjudicating an inconsistency, it is inserting is own judgement about what the other party (Congress) said - when the other party has the ability to assert its intentions direct

They are claiming this is from a data aggregator called National Public Data, so it probably originated in many other places and contains a variety of different information depending on the source. So it includes SSNs for some people, but n

Sure, but the critique of cars in this case is that by making people reliant on cars you encourage all of the above behaviors because people spend more time driving and have fewer transportation options. I don't think you're going

Ok, assume that I've also read the article. What does the "pin" part of "LOX pin" refer to?

If you let your eyes roll to the back of your head and let the spice take over generalization and compression are two sides of the same coin.

It's also, contra the twitterer, not reverting to the ur-glyph, which, in it's original form at the 6 major mentioned companies, was a revolver. None of those vendors have previously depicted the pistol emoji as a contemporary han

At my workplace it used to identify my location as various places within a 300 mile radius of my actual location correlating (at best) to places where our ISP had a footprint, but sometimes even places that it didn't. In any case I had

In other GitHub Issues (I don't have the tab open, they might have closed it) the author discusses using that permission but says they are not able to because the Storage Access Framework is only available for Java/Kotlin apps, wh

Chevron deference has little to nothing to do with constitutionality. It is a principle that says when Congress makes (ambiguous) laws and executive bodies interpret them according to their best judgment (having come to that judgment throug

The pardon power seems to be very broad, and is most likely constrained by politics more than by statute. Set aside the idle speculation about a president pardoning themselves, pardons have been granted to whole classes of people for crimes

I migrated my Fitbit account to Google not considering the effect it would have on my data exports. I had been using the "legacy export" feature to dump out CSVs maybe once a week and copy the new data into a spreadsheet I had set

Meanwhile if I search for a specific Bosch solenoid part number there's a 50% chance that any one result will point to some different part number that contains 90% of the digits - even though the specific part number actually exists!

Assuming you mean (kilo)watt-hour output, but I don't think that changes the argument.

It probably is worth paying attention to the water WaPo is carrying for OpenAI here next to their publisher's announcement about prioritizing the use of AI in their newsrooms.

I would suggest that with "investor" and "probably" in the title it's more or less just the mumblings of a crank.

I uploaded pictures of a couple of street corners and it confidently identified them as being in Texas and Florida, based on text that was not in the pictures and, in the second case, foliage in a scene that included only concrete. Although

Yeah, I don't see the point of the drama except for the amount of interaction this exchange got in Elon's bot swamp. If anything it seems more like the other dude was gunning for attention by taking a ludicrous position and backfi

I don't think that means he isn't careful about what he reviews - just that his selection criteria is not "I expect this to be good". Rather it's, if I had to guess, "this is part of or illustrates an interesti

If you tried to quantify different people's experience of autism you could maybe compare people by the amplitude of their symptoms (say a maximum or average), but you'd get a much better idea of the range of experiences with somet

It actually does not sound like that argument - that sounds like an argument you are making up. The argument is, "I have no meaningful choice in the terms that I agree to, hence my agreement to those terms cannot be freely given. But I

Really depends who owns the lines; I doubt many T/D owners would want drones flying around by their lines, much less directly grabbing them.

That sounds more like biodigesters or landfill gas than the "hydrogen from renewable sources plus CO2 from the combustion of plant sources" described in a cousin comment.

Again, you can push the blame back and back and back in time, but putting an engineer at the helm doesn't seem to have righted the ship either. Then it's not clear why such a background is necessary or sufficient for the successor

I think we nuclear energy should play a big part in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure, but this is doing nothing of the sort. This is ostensibly 1GW of new projected demand without any new generation being built for it. Meaning, at be

Yes all this prejudicial junk is bad, and these attitudes still exist. It doesn't make sense to apply "shit bad, yo" to all of human civilization 5000 years ago and say, based only on those vibes, that there was a particula

The witch burning garbage happened within the last 500 years. That's way closer to today than the 5000 years ago we're talking about. And this seems very culturally dependent.

My college rock band had a silly tradition of burning a nitrocellulose pick as a sacrifice to the rock gods before a show. Ping Pong balls sound like even more fun!

Than themselves, over time. Or at least that seems like the implication. But this article includes very few numbers, and none are about tons of coal burnt or GWh electricity produced from coal annually. The figure they cite most consistentl

If they can be held liable for their shitty software replacing a human then it might not actually be cheaper to replace the human with shitty software.
