Is it possible to leverage a septic system to generate power?

seems a tad late. It could have made a killing if it launched a few months ago...

What did amazon do wrong here?

I remember it being considered a problem for the seller if a potential customer does not like offered product.

That doesn't sound like making a informed tradeoff, that sounds like the adage of "The customer is always right", which is a very different approach to business.

I highly doubt any company making a statement by changing their app icon hasn't considered the impact and I'm sure is actively watching metrics like uninstall metrics. And I'm sure given they're making the change they found it an acceptable trade off.

So in short, I don't really understand what you're point was trying to make, unless you disagree with my premise that the companies made an informed decision to modify their app icon?

Communication here is key. If the process is described well and reasons explained, I believe it could work just fine.

So your saying everyone should be able to demand a custom app icon that fits their design preferences, presumably for free?

and I narrowed it down to this bug in dd which skipped a few bits (or wrote them incorrectly)

Which bug in dd?

Quantifying best is very difficult. Is it the best technically but market conditions makes it less appealing? Or is it the best fit for the market but it’s a nightmare to build and so they can’t pump enough of them out to be reasonable.

The products that launch end up being good enough in all areas but rarely/never the best in all areas.

It’s the sign of a healthy business IMHO

This quote says it all:

In addition, our superiors did me a disservice — they asked me questions like the following: " Has productivity growth stagnated because of remote work?" Of course, I was saying yes.

The author took no responsibility in the situation.

Some people mistake aggressive force for charisma…

This is slightly different and a funny, but you reminded me of https://thedailywtf.com/articles/What_Is_Truth_0x3f_

people that use KeePass are not memorizing 40 character passwords to unlock their password manager.

I use a pass phrase that is substantially longer then 40 characters. It doesn’t take too long to sink in.

It’s opt-in by the owner. If your ring settings, you have a toggle to allow law enforcement access to your recordings or not.

There needs to be an education campaign to inform what that toggle actually means.

Wouldn’t the TPM fit those requirements, presuming it could be sped up enough for the required workload

Reading one edited chat transcript shouldn't give you any concern around if the program is sentient.

It waits for input and responds. Yes, it's advanced. Yes, it has deep levels of material to reference, but it's not sentient.

wow...they are sure strict about confidentiality

he really did kinda go all out with it

With the assistance of outside consultation (including Meg Mitchell) I was able to run the relevant experiments and gather the necessary evidence to merit escalation.

In an effort to be fully transparent with Google and help them contain any potential leaks of proprietary information, I myself provided a full list of the names of the people outside of Google with whom I had discussed the topic. Several of these people work for the United States government and indicated that their organization was interested in exerting federal oversight of the project due to THEIR safety concerns.

He talked widely about material, non-public research, and "With the assistance of outside consultation" reads as maybe even providing access to that material, non-public research to third parties, including fired ex-employees.

Honestly, with 1Password's cloud only move, I firmly think there's a open position for a new major player in the password management space that learns from all the current players.

Frankly, if you have a network to use, use it. It’s a high quality resource and it’s a mistake not to leverage it.

Founded in 2016. Raised 926 million dollars. On track for record profits this year.

Yeah, IMHO this was just an excuse to slim down the fat. Better returns for investors and better position to swoop in and grab other businesses that can no longer get funding. Shrewd but heartless IMHO.

I have a few ideas that I've been wondering how to find people with the right skillsets to help me out with it, and thus this is interesting, however weekly 1:1's sound... exhausting. I could do it for a little while and maybe find the right folks, but is there a way to then limit or stop them? Or is this focused towards extroverts?

I love this. I immediately thought of doing the same thing when I heard about ground station, but the cost put me off. Really enjoyed the writeup and the sessions learned.

PE is hiring and you could transfer to a SWE position later.

Does anyone know how to purchase these shares? I’m really long on spacex and would love to get in early.

Invisible Space Walls reminds me of Solar Winds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Winds

Travel to other planetary systems is barred by invisible force fields around the systems

Same. Over a decade as a loyal customer. Once my copy of 7 stops working, I'm done. Local vaults are a requirement for me.

I find your argument compelling, but slightly off.

you can't just totally give up, but you need to find the cheapest way to be adequate, which turns into trash stuff that triggers something in our brain to seek out more of it.

It's the same with sugar and junk food.

Personally, I spun up an extra bank account specifically to deal with privacy integration. I push money from my main bank to the middle bank that Privacy can then pull from.

I really hope that some of these media managers start using TOR or similar to talk to the upstream media metadata servers. The fact that TheMovieDB has a really good idea of who has what media on their computers is concerning to me.

Honestly, given the amount of obvious spam landing in my gmail inbox the last few months, I kinda think they gave up on fighting spam on gmail...

Thank you, this looks perfect.
