To me that raises the opposite question, why are there so few fields? (Compared to what I'd imagine, infinite) [Edit: I suppose I'm imagining waves or frequencies of waves, rather than fields, hence why in my imagination there

You still have to wait in line even with the shipping label because they have to scan it into the system.

I wouldn't go to a restaurant that used QR codes twice. But I can't go to a different supermarket as there's only one in a reasonable distance away, or use another train line, or avoid a government form.

What the article misses is that money is saved for the company by moving the work to the customer / end user. It's the same thing with sending parcels, where I must now sit on my computer at home filling in a complicated online fo

Absolutely right, but you can also see how this can be a sustainable if not spectacular business going forward even in normal times. There are plenty of "resting" actors and grifting politicians who don't mind doing 60 secon

Cameo (an example in the article) is an interesting one. It seems like a stable, steady business, making money, should be easy to accurately value if you have access to the financials. No surprise that the "It's $1bn!!!"

You know how laws are made? There's this big building where rational people discuss the options. If they don't get it right, the people can vote them out. Of course stupid laws are occasionally passed, but also it's possib

It sounds like a case for having more laws / regulation. Rental properties should have a maximum temperature, else they're not liveable (same as if they were damp or infested).

Sure, HOAs are a nuisance in the US too.

Changing the goalposts. We've gone from saying that Europe has (never defined) laws that prevent anyone from installing AC, to saying that tenants cannot make major changes to their properties. Landlords can install AC fine. Home ow

How (and if) you vote is really the one and only thing politicians care about.

Sorry what? There's no reason that you can't install AC in your home/office in Europe, and many are doing so. It just hasn't been needed very much til recently.

Even on previous gen nodes it takes a year or two to bring a chip to full production.

At the end of the day he wrote some software which sounds legitimate and useful. What management did without his knowledge isn't really his problem. At the other end of this extreme is if you have a good job in a bad industry, like ga

It's far from clear that this helps you to learn anything. More likely it's a way for most people to avoid having to think or learn.

We're in like year 2 or 3 of LLMs being serious tools, still with many disadvantages over humans. There's plenty of time to figure things out, we don't need to experiment on children right now.

Their fish & meat counters are much better than the other supermarkets. Better selection and much fresher.

The software deals with all that. It's all open source, you can go & look for yourself! I don't have to prove anything.

People are still setting up machines by hand, then leaving companies without documenting what they did. The whole "infrastructure as code" is a fantasy at most real companies.

As I said in another thread, Win95 and RHEL 3 are the oldest we've come across recently. Guests of this sort are not converted, they're copied and run using emulated devices (IDE/SATA, e1000 network etc). We help customers

Openshift Virt is fully open source under a BSD license, so you now have legal options to move to a competitor or even manage it yourself (although I wouldn't recommend the latter, even I don't manage OSV myself).

You can get court transcripts but (just like the USA) you have to pay for them. Things could be improved, but in no way are normal UK court cases secret as you claimed. You can also visit the courts and watch cases from the public gallery

We usually reuse the VMware hardware and (most importantly) file storage. Some additional hardware is required temporarily so you can build out initial Openshift nodes. The VMware nodes are decommissioned and converted to OSV nodes as the

I work in automating conversions off VMware and 40,000 VMs is just a lot of data to move. We could probably do 500-1000 / day which would be 3 months, but that would be best case, and there's a lot of prequalification where you e
