Sounds like a great opportunity for Bolt to launch in the USA.

The one million requirement is where you start paying them the 50cts per install, right?

These kind of platform trials are getting more common luckily! Famous example is the COVID Recovery trial.

That's exactly how it works! Grid frequency is determined by the speed of all turbines connected to it. They lost a bit of inertia due to energy being taken out of the system (higher demand than supply of power), so they slowed down, the grid frequency lowered and clocks started running behind. To get the frequency back, gotta generate a bit more energy to speed all the turbines back up.

Kaiser is non-profit, that might change the incentives?

I don't know about Switzerland but Dutch insurers are all non-profits though (except one, that has never once paid out dividends). They have a strong incentive to keep costs down. Hospitals are all non-profits, too.

Try having some stuff in the US that passes for bread. You'd long for the Aldi back home!

I had no problems installing a vanilla Office 2003 on Windows 11 23H2. Got the iso from archive.org and it installed without a hitch.

Yeah, that’s why you need Word 2003 for the images, it’s a deprecated format full of security holes I guess.

Installed a copy of Word 2003, document opened flawlessly immediately with default settings. Saving it from there converted it to a modern .doc which I could open with Office 365 and convert to PDF etc.

I think the moral of the story is that the Windows Office team seems to spend a bit more time on backwards compatibility.

As a testament to Microsoft's backwards compatibility: the file opened mostly fine in the Windows version of Word (version 2401), and the layout seems to be identical to the PDF of the article. It did block the file format by default but that was easy enough to allow.

The graphics did not open however, due to a missing graphics filter for the Microsoft Word Picture format. Seem it's been deprecated for a while now but Word 2003 should be able to open it? Which is old, but not that old not to run on modern systems.

Good chance (part of) your medical records are already being used in some retrospective study, even while you're still alive.

Depends on the country, but in The Netherlands it’s around 500ish to set up a Stichting (foundation) plus some annual fees.

In the EU it’s not uncommon to have some 2FA. My bank asks me to confirm online CC purchases all the time on their app with 3D secure.

The AoE2 PS2 version actually had half-decent USB keyboard and mouse support. Back then USB keyboard/mice were very uncommon (it was all PS/2) but when we tried it, it actually worked.

Pilot was bluffing. If they call an emergency, they can do whatever they want. But they can't just call a fuel emergency if they have enough fuel to divert to a viable alternate - that's not how the system is supposed to work. They're supposed to divert if they get close to minimum fuel and can't land at their primary airport.

Of course, if it's a real emergency they can call any emergency (weather at alternate preventing them from landing there for example), but not threaten a controller to call an emergency just to get priority handling at their primary.

The controller knew that and just called it. A diversion is a major annoyance but not a safety issue.

They used to be black-on-green, now they are white-on-green. iMessage also used to be black-on-blue, see the announcement at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrBIgjodpFs

How does this have anything to do with the Swedish model of a labor market in which collective agreements are a hallmark?

I'd say PPE is. Getting paid 5k to spend 4k on rent is pretty similar to getting paid 2k and spending 1k on rent (all else being equal).

The whole premise of the article is that BEV are dead in the water as they are too expensive, the range is too low, there is not enough electricity to charge them and it would take at least 50 years to solve these problems.

Clearly the author has completely missed the developments in battery technology of the past 10 years and the lowering prices of EVs in that same timeframe. Just an example, a 2012 Nissan Leaf started $36k (MRSP) and could barely get you through 100 miles. The 2024 model starts at $28k and gets you 200 miles. Take inflation into account and you pay 40% less for twice the range. I don’t see any reason why these developments would not continue into the future.

And your credit/debit card isn't (indirectly) controlled by the state? I don't see how this would be different from the current status quo, so many places are card only that the state could already control all of this.

This guy does a ton of mock-ups.

GDPR does not allow for negative consequences for refusing consent - it must be freely given and if there is a negative consequence it is not considered to be given freely.

Is that even legal in Sweden? I can imagine the unions will do some solidarity strikes if true.

Trials take by far the longest time in drug development. During COVID, those went rather quickly not only due to accelerated bureaucracy and practically unlimited funding but also the sheer volume of COVID patients speeding inclusion and event rates up way beyond rates normally seen. Getting enough patients enrolled is easy if you have six figure daily infection rates.

Never heard of standbys?

So what's the go to brand for decent networking gear nowadays?
