Also is a deficiency in patents. Instead of giving a temporary monopoly on a genuine original idea and solution, it becomes a land rush to who can get to a newly obvious idea the fastest.

I think it would make sense to have a safety briefing tag prominently displayed on the back of the headrests so passengers can read them. With a pointer to an expanded laminated safety card in the seat back pocket. Front seat passengers can have one in the sun visor.

Points recovered by not requesting 10 years experience vibing with ai.

And local models are getting more accurate and efficient. And they really don't need a dedicated GPU for fast response, just really fast ram. New APUs such as the AMD 395 are going to be game changers for local users with 256 GiB/s bandwidth.

My biggest issue with XML is trying to figure out if something is an attribute or a sub element. On the contrary, there are time when it would be nice for json to have attributes.

I recall encountering this in the 70's, on a Flintstones episode from the 60's where a scene referenced Mrs. Fred Flintstone and Mrs. Barney Rubble. Confused the heck out of me at a young age.

The fairly new HP laser printer I use is also simple -- just needed to select the appropriate driver in CUPS, and all the features I use are there.

Are the user-hostile features specific to the Windows drivers?

On top of that, a usable attic is a third story. Once you go 3 stories, you need a fire sprinkler system installed.

Some of the nicer fountain pens just glide over the paper -- you can look for reviews on several fountain pen forums, and on the fountain pen subreddit. I personally like several of the ones from Pilot. Also, Sailor pens will give you feedback that feels more like a good graphite pencil (so not scratchy, but not glass smooth either). Another good option is the Pilot Varsity ones, those are disposable (and priced as such), but for something built to be cheap price they sure do write good.

Something similar -- while on a family visit at my parents' house, my brother was talking about his upcoming Hawaii trip, Specifically he was going over a snorkeling adventure he signed up for.

For the next week or so, I got many ads on my phone about underwater packages for Hawaii, along with ads for various snorkeling and swimming gear. Now I had never researched any of that on my phone, however obviously my brother has. And the ad trackers saw that both my phone and his had communicated out over the same IP address (my parents wifi) on other random internet connections, so that is probably why they were then targeting my tracker cookie with ads that would be related to his tracker cookie. (This is all technically "easy" for the trackers to do, and seems logical that they would, because "why not").

On an unrelated note, I was making a peanut butter sandwich, started browsing some sites, and started getting ads for Skippy peanut butter. My phone must have smelled the peanut butter in the air.

Even better yet, whole-leaf tea (where the leaves are balled up and dried) -- put a teaspoon or so in the mug, add hot water, leaves unfurl and you can sip the tea off the top. Then when finished, add more water for a second infusion (some teas I can do this all day).

Are the signatures available to the end user? I would love to set up a call screener that only accepts verified calls, as most spam uses spoofed numbers. I'm assuming that the major players implement the protocol at least .. I'm ok if the filter rejects things that aren't real land lines or cell phones.

Specifically, the jury has the sole power to return a "guilty" verdict. If they return "not guilty", then the defendant is not guilty. There isn't any justification needed for why they returned that verdict -- just one word "guilty" or two words "not guilty".

I have an easy commute (35 - 45 minutes, but not bad traffic and pretty roads), and a comfy car. The commute is my peaceful time, when I don't have to answer to anyone.

Or use a touchscreen in combo with the mouse -- touch for simple button pushing or gestures. Works great on my laptop, I use the trackpoint stick, trackpad, and touchscreen for various tasks whichever one makes the most sense at the moment.

There is a good analysis (from a corporate perspective) in The Phoenix Project.

That's all well and good, except the next pilot facing a potential loss of aircraft will probably hesitate (worrying about getting shafted), and keep trying to recover the craft until it is too late. Then you have a crashed plane, and a dead pilot. People make better decisions when there is precident for a no-fault management style.

Back when I was a kid, scarfs were more popular and served a similar purpose.

The one big difference with the SpaceX organization is the willingness to "blow stuff up" while they are developing, which is enabled by the amount of sensor data they get on each test. That allows them to have a higher revision cadence that decreases development time. Compared to old space tech, where a rocket failure (even during early development) spells the end of the program (such as the X-10 -- it was looking good until a failed landing leg caused an impressive looking loss of vehicle, and then no more program).

What is property ownership, really? Isn't it the exclusive right to do things with that property, and exclude random others from it? You buy a standard city lot, you have the right to build a house on it and to keep others off your property.

If Alice still has some say over what can be done with a property, even if it is through a contract with Bob, then how is Alice able to tell Charlie what he can do with the property once Bob sells it to Charlie? When Charlie never signed any paperwork with Alice? That sounds like something that comes with still having some level of ownership, even if the law that enables the restrictions to be enforced don't word it that way. And that is where I'm saying that the county can write into the tax law that this type of control is taxable with property tax (because even if it isn't technically ownership of the land, the right of enforcing the restrictions is still something that Alice owns).

I'd also like to see taxes on property that is underutilized (for the zoning that it is in). For example, some landlords would prefer to not rent out units rather than lower the rent to market rates (either housing or storefront properties), contributing to a constrained supply. If property taxes are raised on a unit that is unoccupied for a specific length of time, that would encourage the owner to rent it out at what the market is willing to pay instead of artificially keeping the rent higher and therefore the building empty.

The way I understand it... If Alice owns land and sells to Bob with some restrictions, that means Alice is still maintaining some ownership of the land. And the price that Bob pays is discounted from the otherwise fair market value, because it has those restrictions on it.

Then, if Bob sells it to Charlie, Alice still has an ownership stake (logically speaking) from the restrictions (whether it is land use, or mineral rights, or whatever). That is what keeps Charlie bound by those same restrictions. And again, the land isn't worth as much to Charlie as unrestricted land would be.

Now since Alice still has what could be considered ownership in the land (via the restrictions), then Alice should be paying some property tax based on that value she is retaining. And since taxes can be assessed based on the nature of how the property is used (such as granting a homestead exemption/discount for example), then if the current situation isn't benefiting the county or city, they can redefine their tax code to raise the portion that Alice would have to pay based on the ownership type.

I understand that the above is an ideal situation, and if Alice isn't getting a tax bill then that should probably be addressed by the local government.

The better option in this case would be an increasing tax on them to the point where they are unaffordable. Then the market corrects itself.

How do you handle multiple accounts in the same service, such as logging into more than one AWS account?

In the case of buttermilk, it only starts to get a good flavor some time after the date on the carton. So I will often pick the oldest one (which is easy, be cause they put the older cartons toward the front).

The main difference is that YT Music has different audio tracks than what comes from the videos in many cases (you can hear a difference when you click the "video" link in YT Music app, vs the Audio only). The audio only version is cleaner, and I think is more likely to come from an official source instead of an end user upload. And there are a lot more selection on YT Music (playing full albums, etc).

I ran into rendering limitations when modeling a multi cyclonic add on for my shop vac, and manifold saved this project. I used one of the nightly builds for this.

OpenSCAD's main problem is when you get to code of any complexity. I'm ok with the language itself (it looks procedural but is really somewhat declarative), but I keep hitting up against a brick wall with the CSG processing.

Note, however that their nightly builds are much faster, if you enable Manifold (a replacement CSG library that is much faster). In fact, a current design I'm working on wouldn't be possible if I hadn't switched to their nightly builds.

Here's something that I wished existed. After getting a 3D printer, and learning modeling software, I'm constantly creating "stuff" that doesn't exist in any store, but satisfy needs I've had around the house. Now there are 3D model hosting sites where you can sell downloads of your model file. And there are 3D printing farms where you can have them crank out and ship you any quantity of your models. I want that combined into one B2B entity where I can place a listing for one of my products on something like Ebay or Amazon. Then when a customer orders it, have it fulfilled by the 3D print farm company, package it up with my product instructions, and ship it out to the customer (and once volume hits a certain level, maintain inventory at Amazon for example). They collect payment and send me the difference between my sell price and their manufacturing price, with automatic price breaks when volume hits a specific level.

Objects that I've designed and 3D printed for myself include things like Dremel tool attachments, dust port attachments for my router table, nut/washer holders that you screw on the bottom of a table to hold the nut in place (so you can move a top post from one location to another as needed without reaching under the table to hold onto the nut), things like that. Some small items, some larger mechanical devices.

The closest I've seen to this is some woodworkers on Youtube run their own store and have a small number of 3D printers for cranking out the products they sell. I want something like this scaled up for any designer.

Would it be a conspiracy theory to suggest that this is the real driving force behind the push for 401k plans?

So how do candidates get by with promising tougher border controls, if that would end up cutting off the supply of cheap workers that these other businesses rely on?
