In cars with parking sensors, it would likely have beeped at you aggressively unless you disabled that.

It doesn't auto-brake but does do a good job of avoiding such impacts by alerting to objects nearby you might not see, including cross-traffic detection when backing out of parking spaces.

It doesn't need to be "efficient" in terms of cost, that doesn't really matter. What matters much more is whether it is seen and being effective and fair in collection of taxes & enforcement of violators.

Had this exact same experience. Picked the Simpsons just to try it out and in the first pair up was S1 stuff vs some episode from S18 I've never seen.

So I picked The S1 episode. Then it was another S1 episode. Repeat. Then an S2 episode.

My second option never changed from that first episode from S18 so I never picked it. Perhaps I could have gone through 12-17 seasons of episodes always picking option one until two episodes I've never seen went head to head.

IMO, both options need to randomize each time until first pairings are exhausted.

"you open Confluence and desperately read through six possibly relevant pages"

Too real. What's left out is the detail that all contain stale references and are last updated by Unknown User no longer at the company.

I suggest playing, you'll quickly see it's about strategy of taking and locking squares. Walls can't be taken back and cut off chains to other walls.

Never played before buts it's interesting.

I only know it as the thing that broke all my screen capture tools because none of them had implemented the necessary changes the last time I tried, admittedly small N years ago.

We really ought to just nullify DMCA 1201 entirely, but at an absolute minimum it must not apply to otherwise lawful pruposes.

This can be packaged with right-to-repair alongside explicit allowance for interop.

Yea that tripped me up reading too. Something felt like it didn't add up.

Interesting! But also really speaks to the need for a browser setting for very coarse location without requiring user entry.

Eg, I always block location API access, and sites often have poor fallback UI for entry.

If it'd let me, I'd be setting my browser to always report "Toronto, Ontario" and auto-deny location requests.

Who said any of that? I mean our elected government (US and Canada alike) is evidently unwilling to enact & enforce toothsome antitrust. And that's a source of a huge portion of our bigger problems. Outsized influence by a small number of voices, and a toxic cycle of using the proceeds to buy more deregulation via political donation.

I don't particularly care what the current case law says, antitrust has been eroded for four decades to the point of being a joke. We need to overhaul this around the world and tame megacorps everywhere.

The behavior is plainly monopolistic and anticompetitive on its face. That it does not suffer judgement as violating any laws about such conduct is a sad reflection of our government corruption and unwillingness to regulate the corporations that provide most political funding.

Of course it's monopolistic. What standard are you comparing to? You don't need to have 100% of the market to exert monopoly control.

Non-monopoly behavior would be users and developers having the choice to offer & install iOS apps outside of Apple's app store, but choosing the app store because the trade-off of fees is considered fair for the trust & platform convenience gained in exchange.

I have been using a NUC as an HTPC for several years now and it's great, though the comments in the previous conversation about them ending the line were right about the noise.

I'm in the market for a similar device to replace my dangerously past EOL desktop, and funny enough I have been circling around Asus' SFF line.

Don't. Just dump all reviews upon any product change (at least by default). Everything goes into a secondary bucket of "Old reviews for a previous version of this product." With a clear notice that "product features or even core functions may be different".

They love money and fees. They can offer a review process to keep reviews for a new version once manually reviewed and confirmed as substantially the same product, perhaps with new images of new packaging.

And what about all the "free money" being granted to those already holding a high balance?

"Basic income for those with the most savings" has been one of my favourite framinga for interest rates.

Yep. When congress (or any government) passes bills with spending implications, following through with the associated payments should be automatic/mechanical, not relitigation of the issue. To pretend the central bank/treasury is anything but the check writer for government spending is just fiction.

There are many more economists building on MMT than just them, at many institutions globally.

Describing the job guarantee/transition job as equivalent to "workfare" reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the JG. Two ways in which it differs significantly (but not the only ways):

1/ it pays a living wage / socially inclusive wage, unlike most current (un)employment insurance programs

2/ it is non-coercive. You have the promise of that job, not a mandate to perform it. Other social programs remain available for those unable for for a variety of reasons.

Warren* Mosler, one of yhe founders of Modern Monetary Theory. Lead author was Phil Armstrong, and he did a great discussiom of the paper on the MMT podcast.

I mainly meant to say that there's way more going on than what's described.

You could also argue that the "red" categories align more closely with "needs" people have little to no choice but to pay, and are ripe for predatory pricing.

It's true there are monopoly problems here, but the answer isn't to remove regulation it's to strengthen it. A return to real anti-trust in particular.

The blue items lean more towards luxury items and discretionary spending, so pricing can't be so exploitative.

Have you considered that your mother just uses this as an excuse to talk to you on a regular basis?

That can be solved by setting the payment terms to match some minimum % of total compensation of some period before the paid leave.

eg, you get full benefits plus no less than 80% of all compensation of the previous 12mo. Non-cash compensation (eg equity) may be replaced with equivalent cash.

They are free to cease offering unpaid accounts if they wish.

Why shouldn't I be able to uae the software of my choosing? If i habe an account and have properly authenticated, the client I use is my choice.

You can't reasonably make the "go elsewhere" argument with the monopoly hold FB has on much social data. We need to choose yo regulate them and others to force interoperability, or at the very least allow comcom explicitly (competitive compatibility).

This is really not the gotcha you seem to think it is. One is unlikely to learn how difficult repairs on a given device are until deep into the ownership cycle and well past any return window.

Well a start would be educating riders on how to safely park the damned thing when their trip is done, instead of literally dumping it on a sidewalk/pathway, and collect fines for bad stewardship.

You could have motion/orientation sensors to complement the GPS to see if they are moved after the rider parks it. It's far from unsolvable its just that nobody cares or is motivated.

This is hugely subjective. Today's was instantly recognizable for me allowing me to guess with just the 1s clip. Other days I am familiar with the song but not the opening so I would never be able to guess.

Most days are fun to guess, but some I have no idea. It depends on your personal music history.

What? That is just clearly untrue, even though I agree it ought to be the law. DMCA 1201 made no exemptions to circumvention of technical protection measures (for research, interoperability, fair use etc). Assuming any kind of security measure was employed here the interpretations of violating that have been quite broad.

ianal etc.

But this doesn't make any sense, that's exactly the problem. If you wanted a particular configuration they should direct the plant to assemble that configuration just as soon as they've finished assembling any special configuration requests placed before yours.

This is what I don't understand, though. If you only want to meet the requirements with low quality PRs, you've always been able to achieve that with your own public repository.

I've mostly used Hacktoberfest as an annual opportunity to learn some new tech that I've read about but haven't yet had a chance to try. I start a new public repo and work through their tutorial doing PRs to commit chunks for each major section etc.

Open source. No spam for anyone. I learn something. Free shirt.

Practicing PR hygiene on your own repo if it's something you're not already familiar with is also a benefit.
