You’re talking about companies with offices in the US. I’m talking about foreign countries. E.g. Postnl (company without offices in the US).

How would a foreign country collect this in behalf of the US? No system has been setup for this by the US.

EU, UK and others have systems in place to make this possible. The US hasn’t.

In the EU similar stuff is promoted by companies wanting to profit from supplying the various required software.

Calc has loads of small papercuts (tiny usability issues) which added together make it quite horrible to use. It’s not polished.

Pretty sure Collabora (company) offers such services.

The tariffs are paid by the importers. It’ll negatively affect things in Canada.

Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find.

Dropping an anchor isn’t done accidentally. There’s a pretty high risk for things to go wrong. Your assertion just doesn’t make sense. It isn’t “perfectly plausible” to drop anchor accidentally, nor is it to drag it for ages.

Ah, indeed:

Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.

Sounds like bs to me, comes across as marketing talk to promote their AI offerings.

That’s the intention behind that back to work decision.

Have you had CPR training? What you stated isn’t true. Every second counts. But looking up instructions and seeing a easy video will still help massively.

im qualified enough to know better

Maybe if you make YouTube videos you’d achieve that.

Regarding experts, there’s so many topics where experts are ignored.

oh you watch videos and it’s hard to concentrate after a while? Welcome to actual driving jobs

Watching videos is comparable to e.g. ATC work. I don’t see driving as comparable. In one you’re actively doing something. In the others you’re only checking for stuff that might go wrong but usually goes ok.

There’s a significant difference in ATC vs the training AI: in ATC work people are swapped out after a few hours and they have regular breaks. While here for that AI the company is pretending it can be done for an 8 hour shift.

I have no doubt that we will likewise see the mental and physical effort of driving as well as the danger of it become as unconscionable as threshing or machine operator work is to us now.

Meh, that’s been said for ages. Currently the reliability of automated driving is often crazily overestimated. Human driving is pretty reliable, especially on highways.

Change for the better is good. But just because there’s a computer involved doesn’t mean it’s already better or that’ll be foolproof.

There are different type of smoke alarms. Some detect smoke. There are two ways of doing that. Near a kitchen area it’s usually best to get a completely different one that just uses changes in temperature. Though they will only notify you way matter. So highly recommend keeping the existing one and moving that one somewhere else.

That said, the amount of troubleshooting and wasted time that it took to figure out that the CPU was responsible for months of random crashes

I went through something similar, so I understand.

My (AMD) CPU was defective. But if was only noticeable that it would never be able to wake up from suspend. I didn’t really notice crashes. Just broken suspend. I thought it was a Linux kernel bug, though couldn’t figure out any details. Only after almost a year of pain (no suspend) the CPU just didn’t boot at all anymore.

It was sort of replaced under warranty by the store. They took ages to investigate, then gave a store gift card. Likely because the CPU was temporarily out of stock. I had to wait for the CPU to be in stock to be able to buy it again. Fortunately still had the previous AM4 CPU.

The new CPU suspends without any issues. Took months to be able to not doubt suspend. E.g. if it was suspended I usually thought it had crashed.

An unreliable CPU is a terrible experience.

Renewables are cheaper than coal. And the replacement wasn’t limited to gas and coal. There are articles which explained that there wasn’t a massive increase in e.g. coal usage.

The CNN article article also briefly puts a high figure for coal on energy, which could lead to confusion.

So instead of accepting that the driver should be GPL and part of the kernel, you turn things around and pretend the development of the kernel is the way that it is because of a conspiracy against Nvidia?

The bit regarding Wayland doesn’t make sense, no idea what you’re getting at. Though maybe you don’t follow Linux developments?

You don’t know the Ape? It’s really everywhere in Europe.

I haven’t seen those in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany except maybe once in 5 years. Further, it’s seems not comparable. In Netherlands it likely wouldn’t be considered a car. It likely would fall under the max 45 kmh regulations.

Do more for the poor.

It’s really that simple.

Netherlands had a right wing government. They messed up greatly. People voted even more right because “obviously” the previous government was actually left wing.

Perception matters a lot for a large group of people.

And it’s funny because when certain parties make promises there interpretation differs depending if they like the party or not.

E.g. making promises to improve things: who will pay for it? E.g. left wing is spending money they don’t have, or they care too much about lazy people.

If a right wing party makes a promise to improve things and financially it is pretty much certain it’ll not work out: don’t be negative, just saying that because of x/y/z.

It’s too easy to blame left wing parties for what is happening. Pretty sure there’s various causes, and people often aren’t logical or rational.

I highly recommend list-inhibitors. Not sure if this is the one I mean, the command line seems to match to the one I use: https://pypi.org/project/list-session-inhibitors/

This command gives a way nicer output.

For me Firefox often prevents the system from going to idle. If some page has a video it often seems to inhibit going to idle. Firefox strangely does that even if the video is paused.

For me and Firefox I’m often intend to do something about it. And then I don’t for various reasons 😂

Then implement polkit perhaps? https://polkit.pages.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit-apps.html

Basically the root using bit is handled via polkit. Three unprivileged bit calls the privileged bit via polkit.
