So the answer is to keep slowly sliding into fascism with the ‘slightly less evil’ party, rather than forcing their hand in the hope of democratic reforms which stop the slide?

I left my dog shut in the lounge when he was a puppy, when i came back inside half an hour later he had scratched/chewed a hole in the drywall in an attempt to follow me out. Adorable little shit.

“We have the ability to do this right now, but we need to solve distribution” is exactly what an engineering problem is.

The problem with such systems is that every check introduced in the name of minimising fraud, is an extra hoop that someone needs to jump through to obtain legitimate benefits.

Unless you are also going to boost funding and have a well resourced, easily accesible team available to help people navigate the additional bureaucracy, you are going to do more harm to marginalised people in need than to fraudsters.

At the risk of sounding like stack overflow, do you need to print such large parts? As a general rule I try to make multiple small parts that are then attached together rather than going for single parts that are very big or complex.

If you mess up a couple of placements or tolerances, or your print fails, it’s much quicker to reprint just that portion.

ECC is a ‘good to have’, but isn’t critical unless your systems are.

Most of the higher costs that come with stuff advertised as “server hardware” come from the need to get 99.99% uptime instead of 99.9%, because that 0.09% represents millions of dollars, or even people’s safety. If you just want to store personal data and run some basic services like a media server or a personal email, then pretty much any hardware will work, just make sure to backup your data regularly in case something goes wrong with your disks.

The data here is simply the maximum recorded speed, which includes a bunch of edge-cases and one-time events, and is not a mean speed value. Even a stock corolla can hit 200km/h given 1km of straight road to wind up on.

Depending on the cost of parking, it might still be a winner. Every time I park near where someone homeless is posted up I offer them whatever coins I have on me to give me a shout or a call if they see a parking warden before I come back. Cheaper than parking, and it helps local people instead of fucking Wilson’s.

Space bends due to gravity. Light continues in a straight line through the now non-linear space, thus appearing to bend.

It wasn’t even piracy. Schwartz had a legitimate right to access those materials via the university, they just trumped it up into an issue because he accessed them in a non-conventional manner and assumed he was up to something unscrupulous.

The entire case against him came down to “he seemed like he was concealing his bulk download that he was otherwise completely authorized to do, and therefore was consipring to do something”

A translation layer could be used, no? Check api version, translate any v1 specific calls into their v2 counterparts, then submit the v2 request?

Stabbing the tyre itself is a gamble in terms of safety. Worst case the tyre basically explodes at you. cutting the stem doesn’t risk the tyre zippering from a failure point, and is definitely the preferred method.

Feel free to stab and slice the sidewall once the pressure is released if you want to make the repair as expensive as possible

For me it’s the amount of debugging it takes to get new games to run. Most games these days come with some sort of third party launcher or drm that takes a lot of work to kill in order to get them running.

I just spent 12 hours debugging because of shitty-closed source software that i have to work around, i dont want to do it again.

If you learn the timings, and choose the right route, you can hit green lights all night. Back when I had a job which finished up around 2am, I managed to travel ~15km across the city without hitting a red light, probably 2/3 of the time.

What makes you think this is ai? I dont see any of the telltale artefacts

I see where you’re coming from, but we also need to consider the mass of these vehicles, not just their speed. Person+bike at 50km/h vs pedestrian at rest means a roughly 1:1 split on the inertia after impact, and a pedestrian accelerated to 25km/h. Car at 50km/h vs person+bike at rest is a 1:10 or 1:20 split in inertia after impact, and rider accelerated to very nearly 50km/h.

IMO sharing a space with pedestrians is the lesser harm outcome if we cannot provide safe infrastructure which separates such vehicles from both cars and pedestrians.

I love that this is such a uniquely Australian machine that the records section includes an “outside of Australia” category.

Why not replace the dc-dc converter? Seems like a much simpler fix.

When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can’t find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.
