> It's odd to always say "Hashicorp, an IBM company". Looks like they want to assign blame.

Or it's legal trying to preempt a risk.

If it was the author just wanting to point at IBM, they'd mention it just once or twice, but using that awkward phrase throughout the text makes me think it was an edit mandated by a careful lawyer.

You could write a lot of bugs in Rust. Or in any memory-safe language. Just not some bugs. It's just that starting a non-toy project using a non-safe language today is really in the "you could, but didn't stop think if you should" category.

By having a use-after-free bug that caused a noticeable and catastrophic incident.

Someone engaging this mode by error or stupidity, and then causing an accident makes me think some things should remain lock behind some "I know what I am doing" barrier, which the subject of the original link seem to not have scaled above, as there is a simple way to brute force the electronic break, no expensive tools needed.

Oxide’s efforts are commendable, but I don’t know what compliance regime their customer adheres to.

In other words, it’s a neat feature, but maybe not one many customers actually request.

At the bottom of the page, it reads "By using this site, you agree to be bound by the CDP Terms of Service and Global Privacy Policy."

Shouldn't that be at the top? If you want me to agree to a EULA no one would read, at least make a show as if you expect people to read it, don't hide it in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'.

Industrial pays different rates than homes.

That said, I am not sure those numbers are true. I am in California (PG&E with East Bay community generation), and my TOU rates are much lower than those.

Those are two different things, yet you only considered one of those important enough to highlight in your original message.

Employers already have to publish H1-B applications, including wages (but not personal information of the applicants, which would be a very bad idea to publish).

That would force a career change to become a political grifter. Might work for you, but not for many.

Everybody has an accent. If you wish to hire accent-less people, you’d have no one to hire.

A device connected to a non-European Apple account can use this feature while physically located in Europe, so it's probably not consent.

I'd argue this is true for every corporation that didn't need that regulationas a moat (some have found they could use those regulations to their advantage and block competitors, mostly due to implementation costs)

Microsoft did both.

Both organizations have some great and some horrible engineers. I don’t think that is the cause for the difference in their products quality.

Or are management.

Many hold that mindset because that is what they do themselves, and hence believe others must be the same.

Setting schedules on the devices ain't bad as on some "dumb" thermostats, but it's a real pain in the ass.

That you consider it sex (rather than gender), is exactly why there’s a preference for female coded voices. Consider where we do hear male recorded voices used as default.

If you don't know, it's on you to learn. If you do know and prefer to make an asshole of yourself, that's also on you.

Different use cases:

If you need a not-visual output of text, SoyA is a waste of electrons.

If you want to try and mimic a human speaker, then it ain’t.

Question is why would you need to have the computer sound more human, except for “because I can”.

Results correlate to investment, and there’s more in synthesizing female coded voices. As for the why female coded voices gets more investments, we all know, only difference is in attitude towards that (the correct answer, of course, is “it sucks”)

S^2 isn't a special case though: Brouwer's showed the theorem can be easily extended to high dimensions, hence today we usually consider the more general statement that there is a nonzero tangent vector field on the n-sphere S^n iff n is odd.

Not only does it generalize to higher n, it also shows a bit more: not only that the lack of such vector field for an even n, but the also the existence of such for odds.

Drugs discovered by humans are not under the protections of copyright as well.

Or ask customer service to extend the validity period. YMMV, but this worked for me the few times I tried.

That’s not the reason national projects get there.

Federal funds get funneled to red states to secure the votes of their representatives.

It used to be, though the previous Trump administration xenophobia set it on a policy of reducing the support for Taiwan.

Now their xenophobic tendencies against China are stronger.

You can’t build a modern fab (which this one doesn’t seem to be? But even old fabs are extremely expansive) without subsidies. They’re extremely expensive to build, and depreciate so quickly, no private party is willing to put the funds.

KIP-932[0] adds queue semantics for Kafka. You may still want to use another queue though: as always, no one size fits all.
