They were not allowed to do that

Incorrect as the article points out with an image of the contract:

However, it was brought to my attention by site user @luddevig that Chrystal Law, the Bricks & Minifigs Salem-Keizer store's original owner, was able to pull the franchise agreement between her and and the B&M Corperation, that clearly states that consignment is allowed.

I appreciate the reply, but I was never under the impression that gaps in conversations would increase costs nor reduce quality. Both are surprising and disappointing.

I feel like that is a choice best left up to users.

i.e. "Resuming this conversation with full context will consume X% of your 5-hour usage bucket, but that can be reduced by Y% by dropping old thinking logs"

and that's entirely the point of music

That's very reductive. Music, like writing or painting, is a medium, not a thing with intrinsic purpose. It can be a means of communication, sharing human experience, conveying emotion, evoking feelings, expressing a story, ...

Neither do cars until very recently. A tool doesn't have to be unsupervised to be useful.

"Technically"? It's just wrong and I'm not sure which they were intending. Similarly, "miles and miles per hour are different units, it's not just a technical distinction.

A journalist is reporting on something they don't understand.

I believe this is off by 5 or 6 orders of magnitude.

Looks like it's more like 200,000Twh / Yr

That’s fair, it’s not ok to pretend desert has no life worth protecting.

However, there is a lot of it, and as far as impacted animals per acre, it’s got to be near the bottom. Thus of all the places to locate big solar projects, huge expanses of low life density flat land with lots have sun seems like it would minimize the harm.

I think you missed a 0. I've never heard of an AC unit for a house that's 400W. 4000W and above is more common.

Google:

An AC unit's electricity usage varies by type, with window units using around 500–1,500 watts and central air systems using 3,000–5,000 watts, though usage can range from 2,000 to over 6,000 kWh annually for central units

Also, how much you use it during the year can vary hugely from 0 (when I lived near the coast) to like 10 hours a day for months in hot or cold places. There's not a standard, but 55kwh for a year means you live someplace that doesn't really need AC / heating.

I think this is incorrect reading of the numbers

I've never heard of `{number} {plural magnitude}` meaning `mag / number`. I've only ever seen it mean `number * mag`. As in 3-thousandths == 3 * 0.001 not 0.001 / 3.

7 * 0.001ms = 0.007ms or 7us or 7000ns.

I would say he's not in trouble for gaining access to systems, it's for extortion:

He worked with Kurtaj and other members of Lapsus$ to hack tech giant Nvidia and phone company BT/EE and steal data before demanding a four million dollar ransom, which was not paid.

An FCC commissioner indicates that the FCC is yoinking the award because it thinks SpaceX won't hit the 2025 targets, yet many other award recipients have no service and no rollout and no speeds to even measure:

What good is an agreement to build out service by 2025 if the FCC can, on a whim, hold you to it in 2022 instead? In 2022, many RDOF recipients had deployed no service at any speed to any location at all, and they had no obligation to do so. By contrast, Starlink had half a million subscribers in June 2022 (and about two million in September 2023). The majority’s only response to this point is that those other recipients were relying on proven technologies like fiber, while SpaceX was relying on new LEO technology.

Here's a dissenting opinion from FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington:

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-23-105A3.pdf

What good is an agreement to build out service by 2025 if the FCC can, on a whim, hold you to it in 2022 instead? In 2022, many RDOF (the award in question) recipients had deployed no service at any speed to any location at all, and they had no obligation to do so. By contrast, Starlink had half a million subscribers in June 2022 (and about two million in September 2023).

And this scathing conclusion:

I was disappointed by this wrongheaded decision when it was first announced, but the majority today lays bare just how thoroughly and lawlessly arbitrary it was. If this is what passes for due process and the rule of law at the FCC, then this agency ought not to be trusted with the adjudicatory powers Congress has granted it and the deference that the courts have given it. -- FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington

Sounds like you have taken this pretty far, do you have any example outputs? The only one I found via your website was a PDF with a low res image with no context.

Off by a factor of 10.

0.025mcg * 8000 = 20mcg

And restricted access to their data + cease-and-desisted anyone who wanted to augment the CL experience. They're still in business because they are shrewd and have the critical mass required to maintain their monopoly, not because they have a killer product.

For my team's (~20 people) uses, Github (and the tools we and others develop ontop of it) meets our needs amazingly well and literally would be 100% worth the price at 10X the cost.

I don't think the fact that others have built tools on top of github means that github is lacking features, in the same way that the existence of github doesn't mean that git is lacking features.

On the other hand, seemingly ignoring your adoring fans asking for small changes is a bad move.

Myself and a number of others have used this generic development and design contract: https://github.com/danielbeardsley/service_contracts

I negotiate the terms, make local commits, and include the commit hash on the print-out.

tldr;

During an npm install of the tar module I received this:

    npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/tar
    npm ERR! registry error parsing json
    npm ERR! SyntaxError: Unexpected token y
    npm ERR! ny-leone-porn-sex-scene/Sunny-Leones-deleted-sex-scene-from-Ragini-MMS-2/photostory/33010796.cms"})^@9"},"�������

Something or someone injected data into the response I got from npmjs.org. The fact that it was Isaac Schlueter's account is particularly worrisome.

Is a plug really that offensive when the thing that's being plugged is a 100% community commons licensed repository of repair manuals and is described as exactly that?

I've also submitted this to Github as a feature suggestion. It's great for fixing typos while doing code-review.

That's not the issue here, we include the md5 hash of the content in the url of every javascript / css asset. New pages had all the correct (brand new) urls. The issue is that Google is executing javascript on html pages they downloaded days ago. The only solution I can see is to fire off cloudfront cache expiration requests for all old assets. But that negates the simplicity of including the hash of the content in the url.

Except wompt.com - we had over 150 in one room at one point last year.

Affirmative action is idiotic, likely from the start. It seems entirely wrong applied to most every situation. For example, would it make sense to force restaurants to always have a demographically aligned percentage of black patrons at any given moment? How about local little-league baseball teams? school clubs? technology events?

> "discriminate against ... in order to counter balance the discrimination" Doesn't that sound like a bad idea?

Add embedded chat rooms to discussion pages: http://wompt.com Or simply a "chat" link next to the "discuss" link in each entry that points to something like http://wompt.com/chat/hackernews/363

I mentioned that because I'd seen a lot of contracts that included drivel about how the developer is free to have other contracts, free to set their own hours, ... stuff that is implicit.

Getting a contract like this worked over by a lawyer would be a great help. That's why I open-sourced it, hoping to get more exposure and some feedback from knowledgeable people.

Good points, This is why I put it on github, to get feedback and improve.
