How it works in my state: For in person renewals/changes, they punch VOID into your old license, give it back to you, and give you a temporary license printout. Then your new license is mailed a couple weeks later. For remote renewals&

There absolutely is a market - anti-AI sentiment among creatives isn't going away. Like any other "purity" branding, it's a real commitment and severely limits your future ability to pivot. I don't know of anyone in

I will take those concerns more seriously when we start hearing similar consensus from the Chinese side.

A routine urinalysis has always been part of my normal annual physicals.

It’s still the standard for “white goods” (larger home appliances) in general.

Same here, except we just defaulted everyone to Auto and expect the percentage of tokens spent via the auto router to be high.

At an operational level for the railroads, we have PSR, which is even worse.

Also, my phone follows me between vehicles and provides the exact same interface in all of them. Heck, I can switch vehicles and my podcast or music starts back up right where I left it. That alone is a major win for the phone-based approac

I'm the same way. The scanlined, subpixeled versions just look terrible to me.

FPGA based devices that can do this, and quite well, do exist, they're just expensive. The RetroTINK-4k Pro is the top of the line as of this writing but it's a $750 converter.

Emissions related components work very similarly, replace the software and it’s presumed to be a defeat device unless proved otherwise.

For emissions related components, EPA rules do kick in though. While the current administration appears to have paused enforcement, their position for many years has been that running anything except factory approved firmware on an ECU or o

Well, many areas have banned app-only payment requirements (along with card-only) so it’s possible we’ll get some mandated alternatives.

Ironically, this check would be a pretty good use for a LLM.

Are there any additional mitigations folks are using for this? This issue is the only reason we can’t turn classic PATs off entirely. Short lifetime mandatory reauth to enterprise SSO seems to be the best available, but it’s inconvenient fo

Yeah, interested to compare this with optimized and properly cached GitHub Hosted Runner builds.

The biggest problem with SE for me, and this is related to the culture issues you're talking about, is that the site has no good way of deprecating "formerly correct" answers. Even if a better, more correct answer is posted l

There was a common scam back then of sending cheap goods to someone, then billing them a high price, when they didn't order anything to begin with.

Compare this to EMS, where unless you're lucky enough to be fire or hospital based, worker protections are almost nonexistent.

Unless we're ever ready to start treating bike thieves like horse thieves, that's unlikely to ever change. And I doubt we'll ever have the political will to do that, or even a kinder gentler version of it.

The concentrated force for candidates to counteract this would be an industy-wide union. Which isn't happening.. but if you look at unionized industries this is one of the major benefits for candidates, or at least for candidates who m

It's not ideal, per app would be preferable, but at least global can be a toggle in the global quick settings UI.

As a user, I don't care about your ML model. I care about not sending you personal info. Coarser info isn't good enough - you can convince me you actually deserve my real info, or you can get no info (preferable), or you can get f

The local maximum of "fix it but don't improve it" is a problem, and the requirement for major reconstruction to be done to current codes is foundational to almost all building codes. Note that small repairs and routine maint

That's the nature of steam. 15 year boiler recertification, which is effectively a refurb. Hours in service don't matter for those.
