Though I agree somewhat that politicians don't have as much incentive, but this is what regulations are for. Someone said that regulations are written in blood, because they are results of "lessons learned".
It doesn't help that then those regulations are frequently removed to help businesses and the cycle repeats.
BTW: which locations in the whole Los Angeles (you know how big it is? actually there's no guarantee the fire works be in LA) you should get fire trucks stationed?
There wasn't any rain registered since April, there were unprecedented (last time we had such big ones was 15 years ago) dry, 100mph winds. This means using air support was also not feasible at the time.
We mostly talk about Palisades, but when watching WatchDuty app, fires were constantly popping up in random places.
It was a nightmare, and it is frustrating to see politicizing the whole thing or criticizing that fire men did something wrong.
Why those people aren't volunteering and helping?
There are some things that is impossible to do with what we have.
Much more effective would be for example having all building up to the latest fire code, but majority are of course old.
My experience was that I was told to send the cashier's check using overnight FedEx because they did not have office in my area.
I need to check, but I don't think I signed in my SmartTube, I don't see a good reason for it.
I spent may entire career trying to eliminate such code as much as I can, so then having copilot write code that I have to fix on almost every step. I frequently have to look for subtle issues and few times they sneaked through, when it produces correct code it frequently is often more verbose than my code.
SSL/TLS was introduced for POP3/IMAP, but I don't think that was bad.
That sounds more like due to corruption. Also we are talking about breakups not deregulation.
I mean as an user, why would I want to use it (besides avoiding this vulnerability)
But anyway, I recently found code that I wrote 15 years ago. And when looking at it actually makes me feel depressed. It looks like something I would write today so I don't think I got much better.
But yes, I do have to look over it again to understand how it works as I forgot everything.
I also got compliments of my code in the past.
I do try to make my code readable and avoid being clever. Basically my rule of thumb is that if I need to write a comment about block of code what it does, then that code is too complex.
This was discovered after I found in our code someone used math rand and was curious where they copied it from :)
Yes, you can get both of those things with capitalism, just look at Russia, but looks like they are more likely to happen with communism.
Authoritarianism is responsible for many people's deaths, while corruption is why things were so bad that it pushed for invention of this.
The reason why the glass is not popular right now is because we as consumers are perfectly fine with this. We let companies get away with it instead of voting with our wallets. Nearly all of us are guilty purchasing smart phones that won't last longer than 2 years, pre-paying for games when companies frequently stiffed us that way. Almost no one puts time to research which companies produce quality product so such manufacturers frequently go out of business.
Before this drama started I had no idea they even existed. Now I know they are a big Nix shop.
Those people who are creating the drama (and looks like they are a small minority) are trying to turn a tech tool into a social movement. This will kill the project.
Vanced is a hacked original YouTube app and made to be more user friendly.
This was in 2017 and I would expect better tools available. This was on premises though, there were also Wal-E and later Wal-G that were more cloud oriented, although looks like barman also can now use S3 and equivalent.
Would it help if instead of charging, do what you do with a toy car - replace the batteries?
They could then charge and be ready for the next truck.
