That sounds like a useful feature. Thanks.

alas my new work laptop is still on win 10.

Hey computer, what files did i work on last thursday afternoon? and it'd show me a collage of word, excel emails and cad files I was using. this would be fantastic. If it worked. and didn't require i sell what's left of myself to the computer.

In my experience there are several ways to look at it. One is the very basic unspoken rule that many feel that you taking time off puts your work on someone else's shoulders, so don't do that. I have also heard the phrase: If we can survive without you for X days, we can survive without you. So taking a proper vacation is not felt to be attainable. Then there is the whole, I gotta get ahead in my work to prevent the feeling of being a burden to others and catching up on voicemails and emails during the trip and then spending the long hours once back to catch up to all the things you missed etc.

It's first to file now. Imagine front running patents! Or granting every application and preventing the throwing out of bad ones. Bend the knee and pay your tithe or be buried in lawsuits.

I'm always wondering about thoughts like this. Although there are likely a humongous amounts of low end devices, as a whole, how much potential return would you get from this group? This is a value judgment and I know many have low end devices for reasons other than monetary and just completely ignoring quantity may not be viable for certain investments, its just an interesting thing. It might be similar to the debate about the cost of handling credit cards vs cash. Cash has its own set of costs that are usually neglected. You could easily get more return by adding features than spending any time optimizing.

A lot of interesting information is not what I think many people really want. They don't seem to want the mundane facts, they don't seem to care about other countries, they seem to want to find salacious details that confirm conspiracy theories, details that would make headlines and be able to use for clickbait titles to further engagement. Having to trawl through lots of data to find anything of use is beyond most peoples attention span in my experience.

A US president has some authority granted by congress to enact Tariffs. Donald Trump doesn't like being told no. Donald Trump is also very transactional. Ergo, he can implement them and then tell the entities under the tariffs he can make them go away if they give him what he wants.

Having opportunities to change things after being voted out seems to be a bad oversight to me. The difference is time and effort. If the outgoing administration doesn't do anything else, you can already setup your agenda and timelines for things you want to accomplish, tossing stuff in can derail your agenda and/or timing. The outgoing president is still president until the incoming one is sworn in though, so that is what you deal with.

I'd wager shoulder surfing was never that likely, but it is much less likely today and much harder. However, high def recording is much more prevalent these days. The one thing I like that some password forms have started doing is obscure the username. Usually the first time you enter it, its plausible to grab, but subsequent entries, only grabbing the password, if it is at all feasible, isn't as useful without the username.

The main concern I see with "technologic" wombs is who is then responsible for the upbringing and care of the fetus until it because viable to live on its own? If someone gives up a fetus but is still force to be financially responsible for it, more harmful and destructive forms abortion will be, by necessity, be used.

I would love to see all those things myself. Part of my job this past week was inquiring with local jurisdictions about utilities to request utility atlases and other existing condition reports. Unfortunately, this info can be hard to find, inaccurate and inaccessible. There are many pros and cons for showing/hiding utility data etc. <p> If you're interested in getting started with roads, Local GIS shapefiles and tiger databases can be found for much of the US. Not too familiar globally. <p> Downloading a database from the following site and opening with QGIS or similar might be something to start with: https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series...

If the series of events was: They wanted Scar Jo, she said no. They found someone similar. That would be the end of the story. The question then was, why did they reach out to her again immediately before putting it out there? That seems pretty strange to me.

A blanket cutoff is ill advised in my opinion. I think it has to depend on the intent behind the phone call. For instance, I got a robocall from the water department monday saying there is a boil advisory in effect due to high water and sediment runoff due to weather. Having enough people for the once in 10 years where ythey needed that many doesn't seem necessary. And once you get into intent sadly, all bets are off.

HE ALSO SUED ON June 5, 2018.

I can imagine if it hasn't happened yet, it will happen soon enough where QR code menus will be tailored to the person. Change the order of items and possibly even costs to try and drive the individual diner to choose the options that are better for the restaurant. Digital menus already offer many of these perks for the restaurant, and I suspect forcing around the margins can definitely make a difference at the expense of the customer.

Does anybody know of any data showing how many times he's threatened to sue and then done it? I'd wager it's less than 1%.

If ignoring cost, closing a road for likely months, papering over potential design issues for a temporary solution is not an issue, then go ahead and do this every where. Speeding up repairs would be lovely, trying to make municipalities not spend 50% of the budget to prevent wasting pennies and then giving the construction contract to connected entities on the other hand...

Tags are nice, the problem is having to add them in the first place. Semantic file systems have been working on this problem forever. Would be kinda neat to have a note taking app have tag buttons pop up as you input to easily select them , or something like double touching a word to add it as a tag. anybody know of something similar?

In these kinds of incidents, the steps that led to the final outcome are more causes than the actual ingestion. Why was the engine on? Did it need to be on? Why was the worker anywhere near a running engine?

Getting large numbers of applicants can definitely be time consuming and costly for companies. Trying to find ways to cut the crap out is tough. I recall reading about a manager who would just randomly toss half the resumes, saying he only hired lucky people. I've been around the block before and I'd take the lucky route anytime compared to some continuous interview cycles that never go anywhere.

I'm not one to vouch that security through obscurity is good, but knowing how the algorithm works, depending on how its designed seems prone to abuse. If what they release is not specific to avoid the potential for abuse, I don't see how useful knowing it will be. If it ends up like I believe it will, all the useful stuff will be in the weights and models that run it, which they probably won't be able to provide since they will be shifting all the time and adjusted to up engagement and lower non desired outcomes etc.

Wonder how much of the "too much" is caused by people demanding medicine and/or diagnostics. We've all heard the stereotypical patient demanding antibiotics for a virus and the good pills for their back.

I also imagine the notion goes over well in the US where people have a hard time scheduling a visit and taking time off workm pay large sums of money to go to the doctor. And if the outcome isn't more involved than a procedure or a trip to the pharmacist, did they really just do anything useful?

Quantity has a quality all of its own when low cost and low tech munitions can overwhelm and out compete high cost high tech war machines. Also, wars with fewer to no human casualties could be fantastic for the defense industries world wide. The drones take out the other drones and all it takes is getting the government to pay contractors to build them, whether they are effective or not.

Over my long career I've seen people come and go from companies all for different reasons. Seems either deliberately or inadvertently hostile being labeled a leaver. Especially if the employee left on good terms. My industry is small enough that there is only a handful of companies, so you know most of the major people, I suspect Meta probably doesn't have these exact issues though. This is, I think, what causes Bureaucracy in large companies, each individual doesn't specifically have to care, but the outcome is the same. A little humanization of a large hierarchy can be condescending though, so not sure it is seen as worth it either.

He is likely hoping the courts change course if he brings up safety and terrorism. He may not be wrong as the Supreme Court has changed longstanding decisions on larger topics recently.

Like most news, they want to control the narrative. As they drip it out, they want you to form a specific opinion. Psychology has shown first impressions can be nearly impossible to change, especially if they conform to your already held beliefs.

I don't believe the main issue is knowing whether you are going to have to move soon. The main issue is buying a house and then shortly thereafter being laid off/fired/company went under/etc" but with jobs available from somewhere not close enough for the current house location to be viable. If its a couple years or so and house prices go up, its not too harsh of a financial impact to sell and move. If houses are falling, moving for job opportunities are that much less amenable.

Depending on how much of your life involved the early web, it could be considered the dark ages for the past 30 years. For instance, 90s to early 2000s had so many different things online that are basically gone today. Is that a good thing or a bad thing is highly debatable. Likewise, online pay services in the more recent era, MMOs and the like, fade away and are shut down, or they are continually changed, so as they say, you can't go back again. The world as a whole is producing too much 'data' to fathom. So I don't think Dark Ages moniker quite applies, more like finding the right haystack in a field of haystacks. Loss of data, but not quite in the same way.

I cannot fathom how anyone watches Jerry Springer, so I can't answer that question. My question is why would advertisers pay for an Elon Musk owned communication channel? A scripted show like Jerry Springer has limits and advertisers can rely on that. Twitter is completely unpredictable. Displaying advertisements next to unpredictable has had very bad outcomes in the past. Good bad or other, that is what Elon has to demonstrate he understands.

Only if someone is willing to pay for the eyeballs.
