Oh I'm sure, the ACM UI was impossible to use for years to find certificates, they improved it, but, it will never have the same level of functionality that the API gives you and that's the bread and butter.

I think it's key here that if someone else trained the voice and sounded like Scarlett Johansson, and there a payment to that person, and that person exist, it feels like to me they won't have a strong case.

Now if it was trained on the voices from various IP? Or "Computer generated", I think we have an argument that it was trained on her voice.

You see the same with Dentist, the cost to start a practice after paying for college? Or get a job at a big PE owned Dentist Office and work for commission.

Any time I hear "Apache Foundation" my stomach turns as I hesitate to ask my next question. "What we are trying to use from them is built on Java right"

The cool thing about batteries is that they are great as an investment. You can charge them when power is cheap and sell back power when you have high demand and market prices for power.

Typically Peaker Plants fill this role but at much higher cost for electricity and emissions. Batteries just make much more sense for this kind of power.

Years ago before it was popular my doctor gave me an rx for it and I tried it, I knew it was a game changer, but those side effects? Might have just been me but I could not tolerate the nausea.

In the end I didn't need Ozempic, I just started working out several times a week and holding myself accountable to my eating habits. I think for the majority of people diet and exercise is enough. But for those who need more help, even Oprah, it's a miracle drug.

I'm seeing old co-workers on linkedin that got caught up in this, they switched during the pandemic, some to positions and salaries I assume were inflated from knowing them previously. Once the layoffs hit they started looking for jobs with the same title/salary and there's was nothing.

I'm one of those who didn't switch, I thought I was making a mistake, now? New hires are coming in and being offered a little more than pre-pandemic pay. Below what I'm making now for the same position.

Some of those games were unplayable without the manuals or a map! Looking at you Star Control II! You needed a map for the coordinates to play that one.

I list remote only on my LinkedIn profile, it's what my current company offers. Recruiters and HR people only reach out to me to inquire about if I would accept Hybrid roles. I get 2/3 a week with the same spiel.

My last HR interview went south when after they pitched a lower salary, hybrid work and finally ended with "Are you sure you like your job now?" I told them I wasn't interested and that ended that.

The one remote job interview I did in the last year wasn't a good fit. I declined the offer.

The pump itself is the least secure piece of technology in existence. They keys to open them are common, the communication is all serial based and hasn't changed at all in 40+ years.

It wasn't more than a decade ago that I was swapping 3des pinpads out. If you had really old pump all you needed was a small screw driver to stop the meters from turning after you popped the front panel off.

Bluetooth controlled? The device sure, for all we know it's just kicking over the dispenser. The clerk isn't looking but I'm sure if they look at the pump on the register it's counting.

It's still all serial based comms, but unless the attendant is trained or aware they might just think someone is pumping. It will show up on the daily report when the dispenser report doesn't match the sales report.

Spending more time ordering, waiting, getting with customer support when things go south? I can go get my food without the extra cost and headache and that's what happened to our house.

We stopped ordering food once it got to be more of an inconvenience than picking it up.

Nobody really cared in the scene about the DMCA until the FBI started taking people offline. Even then? It stopped nobody, people just got more security aware.

And now I know why that weird version of DOS existed a few decades ago when I was working on cash registers. Back then you ran across a lot of DOS compatible OS's and documentation. As long as all the same commands worked you were usually fine.
