Sounds like it is connected to an existing hot water tank with the conventional heating mechanism left intact (I could be misreading, but it sounds like that given a hole is cut into the heater to make room for the additional heat sink)

Hehe, no worries. We're in pretty good agreement I think, and I don't think I mis-interpreted your comment either (so no worries, no offense taken). The OP question was: "why is this political" My response should have be

True. The loophole is that most tips are on credit cards and hence automatically reported. There is no distinction of cash vs CC tips when reporting. So effectively zero dollars in cash tips is being reported. In the 90s I delivered pizzas

The victim isn't the distraction. It's the disproportionate coverage. Eg: "cyclist kills pedestrian" The town hall and citizenry get up in arms to protect pedestrians, letters to the editors are flying about the menace

It is hard to know whether that would be a willful mis-reading or not. Creates the straw retort, "see, you don't care about victim X at all, you are a hypocrite and not actually wanting to solve this problem! X matter too!" F

No could be about it. Merino wool is not itchy. There are other wools like possum wool with similar properties that are less ambiguous in terms of ethics. Merino can be ethically sourced. If usage of animal products is a concern, that seems

Pre-Merino, wool was quite itchy. I wonder if you are thinking of "old" wool. Modern merino is some very soft stuff. > Merino wool is able to ditch the itch thanks to its fiber's smaller diameter, or being “finer”. These f

It's one of those, "see, woman can do X too, so why are we so focused on only men doing X" Similar too, "white people are shot by cops". Similar to "white people are discriminated against in colleges". The

To add to the other responses, using a straw can help, it gets the liquid past your teeth. In part too the sugar with acid combo is particularly impactful, the sugar acts as an abrading agent. Hence, smoothies are something to take care wit

Hygenist explained it a bit differently to me. The presence of blood is the body trying to wash away microbes and other stuff that is getting behind the gum line. The presence of blood (carrying white blood cells) and microbes cause inflamm

See XKCD comic : ) I would disagree that "generalized" equates to simple. Generalized means generic and usually abstract. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(computer_progra... - https:/&#x2

I'm curious, had you written a generic version, would you still be ripping the code out? (I'm guessing so, otherwise presumably you would now be making that code generic). I still find it funny that the place to optimize is genera

I feel like some of the earliest advice and an early learning principle was: - design for reasonable extensions in the future. Is your design modular, will it be easy to add features? Did you solve problems in a generic way that could be re

Agree to this. My personal thesis is paying the cost of doing it quickly is not payed months in a nebulous future, but often mere _hours_ A good bit of literature is starting to dispel the notion of the iron triangle, speed is quality, qual

For writing lists, this is going to be a real godsend! I'm really happy to hear this is being considered for first class support. It's hard to understate the value of making lists in documentation easier to both read & write S

Sounds more like HTML by default and markdown as opt-in. I wouldn't assume it's going to be a required flag when generating javadoc for what the input format is. Perhaps the javadoc generator could even become smart enough to dete

Law and practice can often be different. Often "the agreement" is cash tips are not declared on taxes, and you don't hassle the company when you make an hourly shortfall. My impression is that arrangement is far more common t

Was trying to find out when it even became legal for insurers to even have a tobacco surcharge. That speaks to the power of the tobacco lobby. I believe (iirc) that legality is quite recent (possibly from the ACA), but I'm pretty sure

What I like, the bill proposes both a solution to unproductivity (back to office), while also seeking to study the loss of productivity from remote work. A lot of "we're fixing it and then after the fact we'll tell you how ex

Keep in mind the agile manifesto authors were consultants, working as consultants, and the manifesto is largely in the context of software consultancy. A lot of the points in the manifesto turn out to be slightly redundant. Comprehensive do

Is that not part of why this industry has a problem? In isolation, it is innocuous, and has the caveat emptor. Though, if you get slapped with, you can't be a great philosopher (for what are happily or unhappily married women other tha

That sounds like an interesting exercise. I would like to know about the 'red cell' scenario. Could you give examples of when someone would color a cell red? My trouble is, a month is a super long time. So long as we are talking f

That's the point of the article, no? For a business, they can choose if they want to define a bug as "does not work to spec", or "does not work to user expectation" (I believe we agree there, that this is a distinct

I suspect because you did not relate your comment back to the article, it seems off topic to an article about Mercedes getting level3 self driving approved for nevada highways. It is somewhat predictable that eventually responses would in p

Market cap does not equate to cash on hand. Let's say I give you a banana for $1. You bring that banana to a marathon where someone will pay you $5 for it. That does not mean I now have $5. Tesla could dilute their stock and sell more,

That describes Tesla FSD, not this. Tesla does level 2 in more varied of situations, but that warning time before taking control is a very key difference. Enough that you can pay 0 attention to be able to look around and see what's up

It is 100% attention. The caveat is there is ample time after the car notifies you to take control where you put down your task, look around and gain situational awareness. How often that happens is a question. Seemingly rare enough you cou

Unsaid, part of my point is the bug vs feature request is a bit of a shell game. Absent the developer & the source code, all that the manager might know is that they are getting support tickets for "this is not working as users exp
