@glyph Do they understand it better, or just care more than most that it doesn’t work? I can’t decide whether the boosters really think it works or don’t care.
@skryking I’m glad you said that. Half the time I post on here “here’s the really tedious thing I’m doing” someone posts a super easy way that’s 10 times better. I used to say “here’s the thing I just spent hours doing!” And someone would reply “you can do it in 10 minutes with this $25 tool”
Soldering continues. I have all these JST connectors to do, so I sandwich 2 boards together with a C clamp to hold them all in place. Then I just go one by one soldering them all.
@feld I think that’s overly simplistic. Businesses terminate contracts all the time. Sometimes maliciously, sometimes simply in accordance with the terms of the contract. The real answer will come from whether it is more expensive to fulfill their obligations to the contract, or to pay whatever penalties for walking away. The real people of New York will be left holding the bag if they walk away.
At this moment in history, when historical scientific quality is just down all over the tech world (eg Boeing, Tesla, IT generally) I am not excited about big, one-way door decisions like bringing on nuclear power, motivated by short term fads like AI.
I guess it could be good, though. Use AI to bring on all this nuclear power, then the fad blows over, and when we retire capacity we retire dirty carbon sources.
A “team building exercise” where they abandon a team member at the top of the mountain reminds me of how financial people refer to losing money as “negative growth.”
Cards Against Humanity suing #ElonMusk reminds me of the time The Onion filed an amicus brief to the US Supreme Court. It’s humour doing serious work that really pokes at the so-called serious people who are being ass holes.
Remember, remember on the fifth of November* Corruption, treason and plot I see no reason why corruption and treason Should ever be forgot
* if the UK is going to have its election on 4th July and the US is gonna have its election on 5th November, it’s only fair that they let us borrow their slogans
She managed to get Trump going into random directions: XL pipeline, Victor Orban, now Biden dropping out. And "he (Biden) hates her!" What a crazy tirade. #debate#uspol
@ntnsndr Admitting? Does anything suggest that it ISN’T a commercial enterprise? (a) it is a private legal entity, not public. (b) the web site’s number one job is raising money for that company (c) they must at least own that domain, else a squatter will do silly things with it
The meaning of .com was lost decades ago. You may be surprised to know that many domains that end in .rodeo are not literally about rodeos. And .co domains have nothing to do with Colombia just like .tv domains rarely have anything to do with Tuvalu.
People talk like the swing states and undecided voters are the only votes that count. It's not true. Those uncertain votes ONLY count if all us reliable voters get out and also vote. If we don't show up because we think our vote "doesn't count," then the undecided and swing voters won't decide the election at all.
It's like the old saying about "the straw that broke the camel's back." Yes, maybe there was a final straw, but the only reason that final straw broke the camel's back is because there was already a huge heap of straw there to begin with. Be the foundation that we can count on. #vote!
