It bothers me. There are too many things that are either not standards-complient or support different parts of the USB feature set that compatibility is a wildcard.

I carry a large backup battery when I travel for work. It can keep my laptop going under load all day, allowing me to not care at all about proximity to outlets when working. It also allows me to painlessly recharge phones by just handing it to someone.

Last week, I was running something from someone else’s laptop (enterprise HP, like mine, but different model). It got low, so I pulled out my battery. Plug it in… No power. I could see the voltage fluctuations of it negotiating, but nothing after that.

There’s more changes. Those are just being called out as likely driven by racism.

It was actually the system Cloudflare uses to catch and block bots that went haywire.

They had a fake database you could query that would pull content from a bunch of different shard databases. They updated the config so that systems querying it could see the shards in addition to the main dummy DB. The tool that pulled data out of it assumed that it could only see the dummy, however, so it just asked for everything when it pulled a report to pass to the filtering system.

The filtering system assumed the report it received would be properly formed and crashed if it got one that was malformed.

Norway’s wealth is rooted in oil. They have intentionally positioned their investments to profit from shifts away from oil so that they can profit either way.

Tesla was the electric car stock for a long time. It’s a prominent face of the anti-oil shift.

Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.

Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.

Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.

That building houses immigration services. They are attacking people coming to scheduled appointments.

OP is a liar. Not a single Democrat voted for this.

They agreed because cheaper, better options became available.

It’s in a High Noon box and the other three flavors are in High Noon cans. It’s one flavor packaged in the wrong can.

You aren’t going to buy an energy drink and get alcohol. If somebody buys alcohol, they may find something inside that doesn’t look like alcohol.

They are blind, not obtuse. Norton ≠ Notion.

Different issues. The 101% issue is that the released video is shorter than the time elapsed on the timestamps. The difference between timestamp and playback speed adds up over time to 7ish minutes iirc.

This issue is that the video is made from two clips. One cuts out at 11:58:58 and the other immediately cuts in at 12:00:00, showing a 00:01:02 gap in the timestamps. Examination of the file shows details of the source clips, indicating that the first clip continued for multiple minutes after the cut. That would make it overlap with the second clip, which is played in its entirety.

Rich is short for Richard. Then, if you already have a Rich in your family, you swap the last letter out, making Rick. If you already have a Rick, swap the first letter out and you are now Dick.

After many years of everyone being named the same few names, the multiple-layers-removed options become valid shortenings even without conflict. Then they become names of their own.

JWO hasn’t shut down. The system got polished enough for them to sell it to other companies, so they don’t need their own test-platform locations anymore.

JWO and similar systems do not reduce labor. The people working cashier become customer service attendants. These systems are valuable when the issue is throughput and sales are being lost at peak times. Airport convenience stores and stadium concession stands, for example, can get significantly higher revenue for the same footprint.

On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

The drop in murder rate is fake. The government adopted a no-body-no-crime policy where as long as the gangs dispose of their corpses, nothing will be recorded.

Bukele has been backed by the gangs his entire career.

From early recalls, it looks like the product was sold direct by the grower and to Sysco, a major distributor. A huge portion of restaurants use Sysco, and Sysco hasn’t specified what states they sent impacted product to in the recalls I’ve seen.

I was digging through my purchases this morning looking at the recalled Sysco items. I have a few places on the west side of the US using a few of the items, but those distribution centers were sourcing from a different grower.

Food goes through so many hands that early-stage contamination recalls tend to take a while to cascade out to things that are useful to a end-user.

She was both a prosecutor and judge before hopping on the hate train. She’s been milking the ‘judge’ honorific for years.

In line with Francis on migrants and the poor. He thinks social elements like position on LGBT issues should be set at the regional level and align with local cultural acceptance.

In other words, slightly progressive from a Catholic leadership standpoint, but conservative when compared against Western Europe.

If you don’t do what Trump wants, you’re fired. He doesn’t tell you what he wants though…
