I went to look for maximum wind speed this would work in, didn't find it. Maybe it's not an issue for inland dwellers.

YMMV. Likewise, I've been using charge to 80% from the start, the phone is approaching 5 years, and I can't say I'd notice the battery being any worse from new.

Bigger issue is that it's been out of OEM updates for 3 years now, which is complete balls considering it's a reputable brand and came with "Android Enterprise Recommended" or whatever that was.

There's an important distinction: raising / lowering the volume of someone in general, or just a particular thing they just said.

The good old "open discussion" at forums, as I remember it, used to manifest verbal lynch mobs, that would often target specific people instead of what they said.

Obviously, but the whole argument against the regulation is, if they're not free to find out themselves, they'll turn up worse.

We'll lose some, but the surviving ones will be fitter.

I think you're underestimating both the amount of damage Trump has already done for the future ability to negotiate, and the desire of everyone else to be not bombed by the US.

Everyone already knows, any deal with the US does not bind the US, only the other party. But it still might be preferrable to the alternative of no deal at all.

When we continue this line of thought far enough, we get to ask who's going to pay for the hardware and the electricity to run the AI that's taking all the jobs.

Can control of compute be far behind?

How is this going to work? You need uncontrolled compute for developing software. Any country locking up that ability too much will lose to those who don't.

Damn, now I want one just to de-lid one and put it on a shelf. Looks like eBay has plenty of these.

I feel like I'm in a comedy show where I'm the only one who actually reads what others are writing.

I mean what I wrote, nothing more.

(a) Quote from TFA is about using internet. GP talks about "didn’t have any freedom or autonomy" which I don't take quite as literally as you do, because they also mention "I saw this a lot in college". So it would have been quite regular level of (over)controlling, instead of locking them in and not letting them leave the house except for school.

(b) I am not advocating anything as a solution. I am pointing out that the simple cause and effect presented by GP might be more complicated.

Uh huh. And some kids haven't got their head straight after puberty at 16, and still need (or would have needed) the training wheels. Blaming it on their parents would seem unfair.

Society works on averages. Most people being ready little adults at 16 doesn't mean everyone is.

Edit: yeah, look at the downvotes. How are you all doing with that self-regulation?

I think you're responding to an argument I didn't make. And I feel necessary to point it out because it looks like other people may be reading it like that, too.

Potential confusion of cause and effect: maybe some weren't given any freedom because they were repeatedly unable to self-regulate.

Well, AppGyver was real. SAP bought it, it's now called SAP Build.

Don't know how successful it was/is as a product though.

It's also a bit sus that someone creates an account just to bash them, when they themselves are already doing a great job to make it look like a scam.

The person whose signature is on it, is listed on VTTs website with the same title.

Considering the amount of publicity this thing gets, VTT or the person will publicly refute it pretty soon if it's a fake.

List please. Surely there is a wiki page you can drop a link to, right?

$200k is one expensive software engineer. On average, you can get people to work for much less.

I would have an issue with companies banding together and negotiating collectively

Use of "would" implies you believe they don't.

This is not a new problem. Anyone remember what booting Windows was like back in 2000? All the programs loading bunch of libraries from spinning rust, just to get their tiny, useless icon to the tray. Some would show banners as they started in the background, to remind they exist. It would take minutes from GUI first paint to all icons in the tray and system responsive again.

Btw, night mode on that site is brilliant. Also necessary, the yellow burns my eyes.

Only thing that wasn't usable on Linux 20 years ago was games.

I've never had a shirt fall apart so bad it didn't make it back home.

I know, probably the parties I go to are just that boring.

Nothing wrong with feeling a bit guilty about it though. As I understand, most of you don't.

Maybe we're getting more UV now than we evolved with?

US military airlift capability

That'll cost them Greenland.

How do you know alcohol is not a net positive?

You seem to be new here, so I tell you how it works (I didn't downvote, I'm just here to eat popcorn and watch the birth of another Russia): Low effort top level comments on hot topics are downvote bait.

Why it's low effort: You claim things are out of control for the police. You don't explain why, or how this is different from previous situations when marines were not needed. It just reads as a +1 post.

Pot, kettle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EARN_IT_Act

There's very high taxation of high income individuals (60%)

55.9% *, at highest bracket. And when you get there, you usually have means to have at least some of your income as capital gains, which is uniformly taxed lower. I.e. you don't become a high income individual, you become an owner of profitable family business.

Edit: I said originally, "55.9%, marginal", but that was wrong. Corrected.

That's democracy for you.

Most of the time being very good doesn't matter, when you're thrown into a process that's designed to extract mediocre work out of everyone, regardless of how good they are.
