I frequently have this issue with Safari in private browsing.

To be fair, it's not the article that's the problem. Pyrocumulonimbus is the accepted scientific name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulonimbus_flammagenitus.

What values do you have that are very progressive but not anticapitalist?

You say that you can't associate with liberal groups because of stuff like this, but liberals are not anticapitalist or anarchist. Leftists are anticapitalist but liberalism is basically advocating for softer capitalism, which is to say capitalism and strong individual rights, while leftism is focused on collectivism.

The company is from the person who created Flask which has remained very open and free. It might be a little too early to be cynical about this.

There's a difference between adapting for mirrorless versus adapting for cinema. They're not just throwing on an adapter to change the distance to the focal plane, they're actually rehousing the lens. Usually that means adding a de-clicked aperture and reducing focus breathing. These are all primes, but cine lenses are usually parfocal as well.

To your point, none of those things are important if you're just a regular consumer and taking stills, but they're all really nice to have/important if you're working on a film.

But is it legal to take a microscope to the beach?

That's a legitimate concern, but the "Guide" terminology actually comes from traditional Montessori schools.

It feels like you want SQLite?

There's not a shortage of lawyers and Texas is not pushing for freedom. They're taking over accreditation so they can start bullying law schools the same way they have with undergraduate institutions like A&M.

The buyer is not assessing that way. The buyer has a diverse portfolio where they only need 10-20% of their bets to succeed. The math is not in your favor as an employee.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it happening? No.

It is illegal if you're a government employee or working as a government contractor. What most people get in trouble for is laundering the money that they're taking in bribes.

Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, and their sequels are all Steam exclusive. The only mandated Steam exclusives are Valve games. Anything else is purely out of convenience for the developer.

It's sad that AI spam is starting to show up here

I've been using Purelymail¹ for a few years now. It's simple and it just works. The one time I needed support I emailed Scott and he got right back to me.

I think doctors who are skeptical of a patient's Google research would also be skeptical about a patient's ChatGPT research.

Nintendo is _very_ protective of its brand. They acted like this long before AI.

Because that's even harder.

It is not.

It doesn't matter when there are lives needlessly at risk. The answer should be zero.

I don't think it's ridiculous that if a company violates their SLA they should compensate their customers. A lot of hosting and cloud providers do this regardless of customer/contract size. The good ones will refund you automatically, and for others it's like pulling teeth.

There were on the order of hundreds of high school students with computer access in the US in 1969, and even fewer with computer literacy. Growing up in the Space Age probably was inspirational, but that doesn't change the fact that computers basically didn't exist to the general public at that time. Unlike now, software development wasn't a widely known career. There wasn't a CS major in the US until 1962. I think that makes it pretty notable he was a high school senior in 1969.

Maybe our consumption habits are different, but why would you want an AI buying your groceries?

I've worked places that have used Carta for this. Sometimes the company buys the shares back, but I think the more common case is that it's new investors. You do get a check, but it's separate from your regular one. Sales like this are long term capital gains, so they're taxed differently than your regular income. No you cannot trade it for shares of something else [0].

[0] - There are investment vehicles (exchange funds) that do this for publicly traded stocks. They're a good way of diversifying your portfolio if you're heavily weighted in one stock, but they typically keep that capital locked up for seven years which is not great if you value liquidity.

I'm reasonably certain it's a combination bandwidth and tech issue.

The Vision Pro is effectively using AirPlay to mirror the whole screen. If you used AirPlay to mirror each window as a whole screen, you'd run out of bandwidth pretty quickly.

The windowing system in MacOS, Quartz Compositor, also isn't built to stream window information. Right now it has a big built in assumption that any windows its displaying are on a screen it also controls. It was probably too big a lift across teams to also re-write the graphics stack for MacOS for the launch of the Vision Pro. Hopefully they get it working in the future, but neither of these problems are easy to solve.

Nintendo really wanted to encourage indie gaming on the Switch, so any individual can register to be an authorized developer: https://developer.nintendo.com/.

"Step on the gas" is an idiomatic American English phrase.

She was the artist in residence at Boston Dynamics. It was literally her job.

This is how a lot of apps on MacOS still work.

Grid-scale batteries are basically nonexistent in the US, but also aren't particularly common elsewhere. In 2016 there was only 160mW [0] of battery storage available to the grid. Battery prices have come down since then, but not enough for energy storage to make sense for utilities in a lot of cases. If capacity has doubled in the past seven years, the person you're responding to would still be asking for like 3% of available battery capacity nationwide.

As far as other storage methods, they're really cool but water and trains require a lot of space, and flywheels typically aren't well suited for storing energy for long amounts of time. That being said, pumped water is still about 10x more common than batteries right now and flywheels are useful if you want to normalize a peaky supply of electricity.

I'd like to believe we'll see more innovative stuff like you're suggesting, but I think for the time being the regulatory environment is too complicated and the capex is probably too high for anyone outside of the MAMA companies to try something like that right now.
