> What you are not seeing is the piles of grounds that would be needed and the tangle of logistics to get the grounds from where they are produced to where they can be used.
so many of these ideas seem to hand wave over “we’ll need to implement a whole new waste stream worldwide. don’t mind that we can hardly manage >1 stream as it is”
considering the mass of a home, what’s the efficiency difference between letting the temperature stay in uncontrolled for 8+ hours and then trying to rein it in quickly vs just keeping it in place the whole time? remember to account for wear and tear on the relevant HVAC equipment.
i did some contracting for a place that i think hired one of these guys.
in his case i think he more or less knew what he was doing, and showed up on calls, but delegated the work to some other people.
we’d hear people in the background of his audio discussing things really oddly similar to tasks he’d been assigned and had outstanding. he was putting in (bad) PRs at all hours of day and night, and never had any recollection of any email, slack conversation, or his own PRs.
> May I just say, that the most ridiculous thing in this news really is selling a 15% stake in a company for $100?
no kidding. i wouldn’t sell a 15% stake in a lemonade stand for $100. that doesn’t even cover the hassle of reviewing the contract and signing a bunch of notarized paperwork
> > I don't see how you can get away from having a defined serialisation format.
> Yep, that's exactly it. Your TLS certificate is not sent as string, and neither are your TCP packets, nor the images contained in them.
...all of those things mentioned have defined serialization. i expect all of them have had security issues because of problems with deserialization code.
i’m sure it seems like “everyone” is on twitter when you’re permanently online, but even the peak MAU figures don’t look anything like “everyone” in the US let alone the rest of the world.
any government messaging plan that revolves around twitter was irresponsible. same with whatever other single social media platform you want to name.
> Then make an example and disband the company and all shareholders lose all equity. Have people realize they will lose money if they don't pay attention to details.
do you not make mistakes, or do you not work with anything that matters?
the US criminal justice system, which isn't very popular, seems to be more tolerant to human error than you.
This is why jmkb referenced synchronization rights, which (as I recall) were invented when they seemed useful. jmkb is suggesting a new right might be created, not claiming that they already exist.
(even if it wasn’t sync rights, there was something else musically related that was created in response to technological development. wikipedia will have plenty on it)
i can take something like Octave (very GPL) and do commercial things with it all day. the GPL would only be relevant if i start distributing Octave itself. (or, in your suggested world, if i started distributing the hypothetically GPL'd genera)
i’ve had it come up with new function names, or prepend some prefix to the names of functions. i had to put some cleverness in on my end to run whatever function was close enough.
> anything assembler or C I have ever asked it has turned out to be at least somewhat wrong
i've found that its quality is proportional to the amount of questions about the subject on the internet. if i ask it for help with popular javascript frameworks, it vastly improves my productivity (i'm not a frontend person). it still coughs up wrong stuff half the time, but even then it can cut through the constant churn of the frameworks' terminology and give me enough hint to find what i need in the docs quickly.
if i ask it about, say, specific details of the STM32 HAL, it knows just enough to come up with something that i'll waste my time reading.
> The superficial take on FDB is "waah, where are my features? it doesn't do indexing? waaah, just use Postgres!".
i love fdb, but, most people _should_ just use postgres. you should have a very precise explanation for why you want fdb instead of postgres. you're trading away a lot of things when you go to fdb.
> I would encourage everyone to at least take a look at FDB.
yes, make sure you're aware of it so you can spot the situations where it _is_ the right answer.
this sounds like it was dreamt up by a bunch of lawyers trying to get themselves more work. there's a lot more paperwork and bullshit involved in going into bankruptcy than just being bought out.
some newspaper translator had to figure out how to translate the novel(ish?) phrase 歯生え薬. what do you want? it's not like this is FDA-approved marketing materials for something that's actually available.
