and now nurses are apparently solely responsible for medical errors and will not be supported by their employer. the cause of which appears to be related to #3 in GP above where overrides are a regular occurrence and quickly loose meaning if you have to do it multiple times per day.

> 1) swap out the broken displays, mainboards, etc. to produce a working "Refurbished" unit. Who does Apple sell these to? I don't see refurbished phones for sale on their website. Maybe to T-Mobile/etc who do sell some refurbished iPhones.

available through Apple at https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/iphone. I think availability changes frequently, only see iPhone 11 Pro currently but have seen others in the past.

> California had just had its net population change going negative for the first time recently.

based on 2020 census, California is still growing.

2020: 39,538,223

2010: 37,253,956

6.1% increase

good to learn. I've only ever seen people do panes in a very poor imitation.

Many things that Numbers seems to me to be better than Excel from a formatting perspective:

* Freeze header rows & columns.

* Naming header rows & columns.

* Graphs that don't overlap the sheet.

Things that I find Excel does better than Numbers from a data perspective:

* Data validation

* Large tables

* Formula Error checking

an alternative is Amazon Video Direct where content providers receive 50% of net revenue. seems like a worse deal than Apple & Google.

> Kids cost roughly $270k (2022 inflation adjusted from earlier USDA data) to raise from birth to 18. Each child. Can you afford a Supercar or a fancy boat? If not, how can you afford a kid?

an 18 year auto loan sounds like a bad idea. but $15k (nominal) per year is less than state university tuition.

yes, rule 5.10g

For National Association play only, the starting pitcher or any substitute pitcher is required to pitch to a minimum of three consecutive batters, including the batter then at bat (or any sub- stitute batter), until such batters are put out or reach first base, or until the offensive team is put out, unless the starting pitcher or substitute pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the umpire-in-chief’s judgment, incapacitates him from further play as a pitcher.

the Fed counts all people over the age of 14. using the same population, the median income is ~$36k [1] so over half of the population makes less than 2/3 of the mean personal income.

also, this report only covers a listed number of "departments" and leaves off many lower wage occupations. retail, child care, most unskilled labor, etc dont appear to be included in the Strategy, Sales, Design, Engineering, Leadership, etc.

says "People 15 years old and over beginning with March 1980, and people 14 years old and over as of March of the following year for previous years." seems it would be reduced by full-time students, retired people earning Social Security, etc.

> This post shows an average in every region more than double that.

says "this report reveals some of the rapidly changing dynamics in how companies of all sizes are compensating their employees." seems it only includes employees and thus would not include students, retired, etc.

Are they doing package and test at this fab or do they need to ship parts out to somewhere else, likely another country, before the client can use them?

there is a WAKE# pin on the PCIe slot so any card should be able to wake the system from sleep (S3).

however, an ATX PSU supplies only 5V (5Vsb) when the system is off (S5) which is not available on the PCIe connector which only has 12V and 3.3V. so when the system is off (S5), the PCIe cards are unpowered and thus cannot turn the system on.

but if you mean off in the Microsoft "Modern Standby" (S0i) then yes, the PCIe cards are powered and the WAKE# pin can "turn on" the system.

I dont know anyone that got a substantial pay raise in 2017 when the corporate tax rate went from 35% to 21%. I also dont remember prices declining.

are you sure that corporate taxes are paid by the employee and lowering taxes results in higher pay and lower prices?

Israel was among the first countries to reach a vaccinated majority in March 2021, thats likely where this common wisdom comes from. but since then it appears that the vaccination rate has stagnated.

From Aug 20, "That means only 58% of Israel's total citizenry is fully vaccinated. [1]"

There is an External PCIe cabling spec though it appears to be inferior to thunderbolt.

- no power

- limited ASPM support, no CPM support

- much larger (36 pins)

additionally, I imagine user experience is worse due to most systems only enumerate at startup and dont handle surprise unplug well at all.

Here in 2021 it has been well over 50 years since the first transistor was built.

> The first working device to be built was a point-contact transistor invented in 1947 by American physicists John Bardeen and Walter Brattain while working under William Shockley at Bell Labs. The three shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement.

* The 2019 Mileage Death Rate (MDR) – fatalities per 100 million miles traveled – is 1.06.

https://www.ots.ca.gov/ots-and-traffic-safety/score-card/

California Numbers:

* 3,606 traffic fatalities in 2019.

* 1,066 Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities (fatalities in crashes involving a driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, of 0.08 or higher) in 2019.

* 620 Unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities in all seating positions in 2019.

* 164 Teen motor vehicle fatalities (age 16-19) in 2019.

* 972 Pedestrian fatalities in 2019.

* 133 Bicycle fatalities in 2019.

assuming the above (alcohol-impaired, unrestrained passenger, teens, pedestrian, bicycle) are all all poor-driver related that leaves 651 traffic fatalities.

>> But I completely and whole heartedly support any audits, lawsuits, investigations, whatever that anybody wants to do. I say audit and go through discovery as many times as people want.

> Also consider what you are saying about the ballots, that if a bad person gets access to them post facto, that that is bad.

seems that 1 bad actor can taint the ballots for future discovery.

also, unlimited discovery just leads to a Gish Gallop. looking for traces of bamboo, kinetic artifacts, routers, etc.

well, by definition the Big Three are 3 large car companies that employ thousands. a particular REIT employs far less and has far less impact on the market. I guess the lesson is, for govt to bail you out, get too big to fail. but we already knew that.

then they can get the Janssen (aka Johnson & Johnson) vaccine which is not based on mRNA but an Adenovirus vector.
