Beached

this was my first reaction. how fast they came to a consensus, it was the organizers fault for applying so late, it the boards fault for approving in only 3 months. 1 year prior to the con is more what I would expect.

hardly call it stealing. they decided to no longer work for the previously agreed upon compensation package. the employer found new employees that would do the work they need done.

no one stole anything. I agree and encourage unions and collective bargaining, but a strike breaker is hardly a thief, they are just a worker who needs money like the guy striking

55 persons using an e3 license would be 15k/y. 55 would definitely fall into my definition of small business

a lot of heat pumps in usa are air to air and have an electric heater in the heat pump to generate the heate when temperatures get so cold that air to air is not effective. without a geothermal system to extract the heat from, they get very expensive to run in very cold Temps when compared to gas hearing. Hensel why the myth that they don't work. no one thinks they don't work, they just think it's a worse solution than natural gas.

slylon could facilitate airline like service to Leo. sure it is a lot of fuel, but not stacking required and smooth runway takeoff and landings. for human transport to Leo, a skylon like ship would likely be a more familiar service, and easier logistics for fast turn arounda

I was able to skip Vista by going strait from xp to 7. I fear I won't be able to skip 11, and I worry about that. Linux has been so close to being a daily driver for years now, but the polish is just not there to be a computer I use when I don't want to constantly troubleshoot.

sileh sigh

to have a convient, reliable, and feature rich tool to use in our daily life.

please do, this is great and it would be a shame to lose all this initial hard work

yet? if you still have the files, would you consider turning this into a VR experience and add in street level detail slowly over time?

if that sounds like way too much work, any chance you would open source your work for needs to add to it?

unless you want to work for the gov.

it wasn't cool, hip, or elite to choose in vb. real developers didn't use vb want was the mentality

you can use equivalents in the are. burned out abandoned building on the lot? what could that lot be worth reasonably? oh, there are 9 houses down the street or 1 block over that are all worth 200k...

the dealers in my area had evs I could test drive, but they were test drive vehicles only. you couldn't buy them, you had to order if you liked and wait for your specific one to come

I can't afford one. I looked in 2019, the cheapest out the door price I could find was 35000. I bought an Elantra 2018 for 17500 out the door.

I'll check again when the 10 year warranty is up and this car has run its life.

in their current format no. but I think there is sufficient demand for long range personal vehicles, and as the world gets more electric, battery tech will get better. I can easily see a future where 1000 mile range on a single charge will be a norm. and I can easily see an America that requires that. range anxiety will decrease as charging gets faster and easier to access. but I just can't see an America household going 2x electric vehicles until 1000mile range with a charge up time of an hour or two is the norm.

I'm actually a huge fan of full ev hybrids that have on board gasoline generators

plate armor makes you wider. weight and movement don't matter if you are too wide to walk up the stairs. I too have been jn these stairs, and wearing a t-shirt as a 5'8" male, I have about 2 to 4 inches of clearance. I would imagine a fully armored person taking up that small amount of empty space easily.

I'm confused. a rpi is comes already constructed? they are single board computers. all you have to do is plug in a power cord?

I find dictation slower than typing. the number of mistakes it makes means I essentially have to delete half of the message and retype it manually. which takes longer than typing in the first place

I use it professionally all the time. I work with arm a lot, and during the testing of customer software that is compiled for arm, I need an arm based Linux os to run and test on. rpi is the obvious choice. I'm very happy with the 4s performance, so I don't require the 5, but I'll still get one.

I also use another one for retro pi, which I imagine will benefit from the increased performance..

lastly, I have a small handheld Bluetooth keyboard with a track pad I use with a pi4 with a 3.5in screen hat and battery pack. the overall size and weight is much less than any laptop I have ever come across, and I use this when I go to cons. (although I'm looking at plantecom to replace this)

a large number of people will just assume Apple now recommends Bing over Google for better search results, and leave it as Bing. in Apple we trust is the way a lot of Apple users operate

I mean Apple laid off recruiters and heavily slowed down hiring fall 2022, tried to force everyone back into offices and was.able to reap many resignations, and still laid off an undisclosed amount of working in the spring.

it sounds like Apple did the same crap, just with better pr and more strategically.

if only they invested any of that money into decent security instead of lobbying...

1) some designs can't tolerate the producer sending messages at such a delay. 3) s3 is not cheap storage, it is significantly higher cost than most on prem solutions when talking about large scale storage. (pedabytes scale)

in rural America, airtags don't work.well. I live kn acreage, and so do all my neighbors. the odds that out cat is within Bluetooth range is slim.

there is a surprisingly low volume of land free from zoning. most America want to.live in urban areas, which are loaded with stupid zoning laws

why not? if my home value falls, presumably the one I'm going to move into fell as well.

more housing does decrease prices. the price went up, but not as much as it would have. for us to see a.price decrease, we would have to see new buildings out pace new people to the area for a sustained period of time. and what is more likely to happen is that they won't decrease but stay flat.

staying flat is still a price decrease each year it does it.

sure in comparison, but we have the existing technology, and capability to lay out 100 football fields of solar on Mars if we wanted to, today. it may cost a metric ton, but we.could do it.

we straight up don't have the ability to build a big surface buclear reactor on Mars. we probably could develop that capability, but until then, it isn't stupid to brute force a large solar installation until something better comes along.

solar likely would be used along side things like kilo power and maybe traditional generators slightly modified until that day comes. it's not stupid do do inefficient thing now, when you don't have a real alternative.

what is more likely to happen is that they have 15x Launches for one mission, due to all the refueling needs. all these launches happen in rapid iteration from one to 3 pads over 1, 2 or 3 days. the. everything sits silent for a few weeks to a month. repeat 10 to 20 times a year.

how would you handle the large number of deductions and credits everyone files for yearly? does the fed know of o bought a solar generator and plan on taking a credit? do they know if I had my windows replaced and plan on a deduction? do they know how many square feet my at home office is, or how much I spent in supplies? do they know if I plan on taking the general deduction or itemizing?
