The interest is also USD denominated, so the only way the US government can default is by choice.

This is going to sound weird weird but I have been "at least that stupid" several times and would react favourably and kindly to anyone reaching out who needs help. Obviously I will not help you with regicide.

I haven't looked for a few years but last time I checked there were still a bunch of crappy ip stacks out there (eg particular cable modem brands) with sequential ip ids.

I kinda meant on the top end (So it never charges so high that the battery experiences increased wear). But... this happens at the bottom end too, your battery already still has some charge left at 0%, the BMS protects it from being fully d

I wish they made the batteries slightly larger, then made 100% on the battery meter secretly be 80% of the increased capacity so I could have my cake and eat it.

You take all the breach dumps you can find and "stuff" the username/password pairs into other sites.

You might have a heritage building, you might have some kind of natural feature that needs to be preserved, you might have some kind of issue like site contamination, there are lots of ways. If you're lucky the tax ratings might take t

Instead of racking servers I write JavaScript that describes how the servers would be racked if they were real servers. Instead of editing ad-hoc text files in /etc/ now I edit yaml files that embed what those files had in them.

The problem is if the state doesn't see eye to eye with you on the value. This can happen for all sorts of reasons, they might be using a simple algorithm that takes into account nearby values / recent sales as comparables. Those

I suspect most humans with a billion dollars under their belt would be quite inclined to believe they can succeed where others have failed. After all, most people "fail" to become billionaires like they did.

Yep tho most ppl use microwaves by pressing the "30s" button (I guess it would be labelled 1/2 or 1/3) n times. Other cooking seldom requires time precision < 1 minute, for finicky precise things you usually watch t

by xyzzy123 3y ago
I think the idea is that for most human uses of time we don't specify start or end times to a precision of more than about 5 minutes. Stuff like train timetables you might want to go down to about a minute. So one could argue that we h

Yes, there are special teams for these huge companies because their tax affairs are so complicated. Typically these very large orgs will also have dedicated relationship managers.

At first glance it looks like people have agency, but I think very often the root cause is "system traps". Enshittification happens because to a certain extent, the market demands that firms maximise returns. Companies that don&

That's not really economic at present, hopefully it will be one day. There are a very small number of verified programs, no mainstream operating systems and no major application suites. We just don't have the technology for it yet

You can raze the "low productivity" industrial parks and then set your watch by further price spikes in trades, logistics and maintenance.

To be fair, I think "VM" on the OS for Flatcar / BottleRocket / CoreOS is not a requirement in the same way as on RHEL etc. Do you want to know if you are patched? Are you running the latest version? If so, you have all

So classical robotics yeah, people used to write code for each step of opening a door. Practically speaking you would probably not do motion planning on the door, you would just code it up with a bunch of heuristics like, try to be over her

I was responding to address why the "door problem" is more difficult than "pancake flipping under controlled conditions". (I also ignored that door opening is generally done by mobile robots of a certain weight class whi

Flipping a pancake in a "random kitchen" would be much more difficult and have many of the same issues as the door problem. It's hard to point to a single thing that would make "flipping pancakes" intractable, it&#x

I think the part that's not talked about is how much more risky it feels in 2023 to drink with co-workers than it did 10 or 20 years ago. Am I just getting old? Drinking culture has largely changed for the better and I think workplaces

I wonder if no maps makes things "feel bigger" (in the same way that streaming services seem unwilling to just give you a list of what they have).

You buy the equipment cheap on ebay but then spend a surprising amount on the noctua fans you need to make the thing tolerable. The other problem is power. Also flows on to also making your other equipment (eg UPS) more expensive.

My worry is that as long as every city with desirable jobs is housing constrained, UBI will basically be a subsidy for landlords and existing landowners.

Right, though I feel the OP's observation is that while sociology and psychology are both academic disciplines, there doesn't seem to be any equivalent to therapy, but applied at the community level. It feels like this is somethi

They should contact the laser etching company and see if the gcode file is still on drive of the etching machine... (They probably requested the company shred the files or whatevs but given the overall low level of due diligence I'd sa

Have a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20651607 if you haven't already - as I understand it the immediate issue is that people will want to "cancel" you and/or stir up righteous indignation

Personally I think it's both - they execute incredibly well given their scale AND they abuse their market power.
