A good portion of that is covered by Behind the Bastards'coverage of Vince Mcmann: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JLdaMY9n_Oc&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5t...

That was my question too! This? https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Turn+on+a+MacBook+Air+Wi...

Just never let it get too low?

100%. Those disks are likely working much harder moving the head all over the place to find those empty spaces when it writes.

Automated entrapment.

Now share what happened to the CEO. Behind the bastards did a great 2 part series on the insane tale: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236...

100%. Let's not blame Signal where it's on you to only invite the proper potentially anonymous contact you want to communicate with. Very different goals.

Yup. My wife's company moved production lines from China to Thailand.

The story afaict is less charlatans and more Jobs' hubris and ignoring his doctors. He has a pretty long history of questionable health decisions from what I have read.

In October 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with cancer. In mid 2004, he announced to his employees that he had a cancerous tumor in his pancreas. The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is very poor; *Jobs stated that he had a rare, less aggressive type, known as islet cell neuroendocrine tumor.*

Jobs resisted his doctors' recommendations for medical intervention for nine months, in favor of alternative medicine. Other doctors agree that Jobs's diet was insufficient to address his disease. However, cancer researcher and alternative medicine critic David Gorski wrote that "it's impossible to know whether and by how much he might have decreased his chances of surviving his cancer through his flirtation with woo. My best guess was that Jobs probably only modestly decreased his chances of survival, if that." Barrie R. Cassileth, the chief of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's integrative medicine department, on the other hand, said, "Jobs's faith in alternative medicine likely cost him his life ... He had the only kind of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and curable ... He essentially committed suicide."

The history of racism in the US is long and complex. In essence we keep track of this sort of thing to try to prevent ongoing systemic racism. "You can't fix what you don't measure" and all that. It also doesn't need to be systemic racism per se. People tend to hire people like them due to unconscious biases so if your company is mostly "X" there are is a good chance it will continue hiring "X".

Here is one example that might be interesting: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/11/1243713272/resume-bias-study-...

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I am in my late 40s and based on the ageism I saw in SV theorized the gravy train would come once I hit 50ish unless I went into management. Based on my performance compared to peers I feel relatively secure but more importantly I live well within my means and save and invest a good portion of my net income.

Read his record as Texas Governor and tell me how likely you think that is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Abbott

That's some good news and way overdue.

>specially for the US: introduce unlimited paid sick time, just like every other Western country already has.

How about ANY mandatory PTO/Sick time at all?

This pisses me off every time I think of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_b...

I think there are only 5 countries with as little legally mandated leave as the US (aka 0): Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau.

Pretty great that this random engineer has superior ethics to a member of SCOTUS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Thomas#Nondisclosure_... .

If I had a dollar for every "friendly" dog that jumped or lunged at me or my wife while running or cycling even when leashed where the owner was shocked (shocked!) at pooch's behavior, I'd have a decent sum. Nowhere near enough to live in Park City though. :-) So hard to tell from this he said/she said account who is in the wrong. Definitely a slow news day.

There are 7,920,000 telephone numbers per area code and 335 area codes. See https://www.puc.texas.gov/industry/maps/areacodes/txareacode... and https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/north-american-area-cod.... I don't know much about VOIP and how many of those numbers are allocated. So that over 2.5 billion total #s.

Still I think you'd need extensions or something which probably would not work with texting, etc.

Oh no, worst news I have heard in a while. My wife and I LOVE Libby.

I wonder how many pets/kids they have because my experience mirrors yours. No missing parts over maybe 15 sets (between my wife and I).

As I recalled eksctl is mostly maintained by weaveworks. https://eksctl.io/getting-started/

I was on mobile and unable to find it but here it is: https://sdge.bidgely.com/dashboard/faqs

How does it work? Magic? Not really. Each appliance uses electricity in a unique manner - think of it like an appliance fingerprint. We detect and extract these "fingerprints" and convert the data into useful insights and recommendations.

SDGE started breaking down our energy usage by "type" a few months ago. Not exactly sure how but they can categorize things as laundry, lights, entertainment, computers, always on, etc.

There are some screenshots here that kind of give you the idea: https://www.sdge.com/energy-management-tool

Am I confused or after 5 years is this essentially a wash? E.g. previously in year 1 if I had one dev earning $100k I could deduct $100k from my revenue and pay taxes on the remainder. Now I need to spread that over 5 years. Thus if this dev kept their income at $100k (to make the math easy) I would write off $20k in year 1, $40k in year 2, $60k in year 3, etc. After 5 years we are back to what taxes were previously...

"Because I don't trust you @#%$##*^&"! Though I guess I don't trust Google much either these days.

Yeah, search for "GOVOPS MODIFICATIONS".

Yes! I discovered this recently when my wife hit 95% of her quota. Remarkably fair and nice feature.

You may be right about drone, helicopter and other flight application batteries (to save weight) but 2s, 3s and above batteries for r/c cars and trucks are usually within a rugged hard shell to protect them from inevitable shocks. Examples: https://www.amainhobbies.com/rc-car-lipo-lihv-batteries/c139...

Many people store their batteries in an ammo box or "lipo safe" such as these to protect against fire: https://www.amazon.com/lipo-safe/s?k=lipo+safe

Any suggestions?

Yeah, it's also well integrated with Android Auto and I want a focused and easy to navigate app on the rare occasion I need to queue up a new podcast.

Splunk bought SignalFX a while ago and they are trying to lean in hard on the observability craze and piggybacking on OpenTelemetry. I wasn't involve heavily in this migrate to Splunk Observability Cloud project about a year ago but it was a shit show and half-baked and ultimately they dumped it in favor of DataDog IIUC (I had since changed jobs but kept in touch with ex-colleagues).

Behind the Bastards did a 2 part episode on how these "books" are preying on children and busy parents: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236...
