You are correct, I’m on ESR apparently.

Looks like that’s coming in Firefox 117 (we’re at 115 currently).

On the discomfort side, couldn’t they have the collection and recording happen in the background? If no other passengers or staff can see the numbers, there’s less of a chance of someone feeling uncomfortable with the process.

The weighing process involves humans, so that wouldn’t be possible.

Their average intelligence being what it is, when instructed to have one person on the scale, sometimes it’s one, sometimes two, sometimes two and a stroller. Sometimes somehow a horse ends up on the scale and no one really understands how, including that horse.

Unless you check the weight, you don’t know what exactly was weighed.

A prominent S

I guess that’s a 5, not an S, since it was the 5th Separate Assault Brigade that was involved.

Society isn’t really good at knowing what it requires. And sometimes it’s better to be cautious. Also capitalism breaks down in certain markets, one of which is the “job market”.

Any market that involves a lot of players and little oversight will get manipulated like crazy, including the job market. Employers try to counter that, but in the end the people that are best at getting hired for a job get that job, not the people that are best at doing that job. How could it not be?

And that includes the jobs of the people that do the hiring. So it’s a market that’s rife with inefficiencies.

It’s not just that the person would be expensive. Systems like that require system specific knowledge. So it’s possible that it would take an outsider 3 months of study to get to the point where they can fix an issue properly in 5 minutes.

You can’t make a baby in 1 month with 9 mothers. Some tasks just have an upfront cost and SOME IT automation jobs are like that.

And yes, you can try and do bodge job after bodge job “just to keep it going”. And that works for some time. But eventually the small mistakes end up causing large outages. And then you need someone that can piece together how the small issues cause big outages.

Narrator: But in fact, he won’t.

I still have to log in via fucking RDP to set it up.

Nah you don’t. I’ve made plenty of headless installations for windows. You think everyone with a datacenter with hundreds of windows servers logs in to each of them with RDP? You can do it with an unattended.xml file. Which is harder to do than what I had to do to make a headless raspberry pi ubuntu server. By a lot, although if you look long enough, you might be able to copy someone else’s unattended.xml.

Also, Windows Event Viewer still blows

Yeah, it’s… an acquired taste. You can actually script it. But it is harder than string manipulation, since the events are all objects, not strings.

Then why has every Windows admin I’ve ever had to deal with use the GUI?

Cause I’m lazy.

This is more about your windows knowledge than windows. All the stuff you’re mentioning can easily be done remotely with powershell remoting.

Also, I often just SSH to windows servers. Works fine, has been like that for years now.

And a single “S” is also a token. Which has vectors to all other words that start with an S.

One thing to point out here is that the word sentences is severely mistyped as “sententences”. That’s not going to help.

That’s probably 150 aborted campaigns totaling 900 hours and two completed 25 hour each campaigns. Source: I’m at around 1500 hours, maybe 2000. A lot of it predates steam, so I don’t know exactly.

I’ve only completed one campaign ever. At some point you know you’ve won and you’re just steamrolling. So why bother.

Like driving a Ferrari with a Honda engine.

You know that’s a thing, right?

Where Wansley and Weinstein break important new ground is on the other legal standard set by the Supreme Court: recoupment of losses. If Uber and WeWork and the rest of the unicorns are perpetual money losers, it sounds like the standard isn’t met. But Wansley and Weinstein point out that it can be — even if the companies never earn a dime and even if everyone who invests in the companies, post-IPO, loses their bets. That’s because the venture capitalists who seeded the company do profit from the predatory pricing. They get in, get a hefty return on their investment, and get out before the whole scheme collapses.

Yep. The venture capitalists found a loophole.

Some people just want lossless media.

And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.

If you read it, it becomes clear that the issue is that Colorado wrote a stalking law that is in conflict with the first amendment. Something that can easily be corrected going forward, if it hasn’t been corrected already.

So he was convicted in Colorado, but the proof for that conviction was not good enough for a federal court.

I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry.

@Hovenko wrote that really carefully. If you interpret it literally, it basically says “some moderators are addicted to power.”

Which is true. You are also right, most aren’t. But some are.

plans to pursue changes” that would let regular users vote moderators out more easily

I think that’s a good thing in the long run.

There is already a perfectly fine mechanism to deal with bad mods, you just go to a different sub. That approach has worked fine for many years.

There’s a reason they never added any other mechanism.

Don’t forget there are people with tens of thousands of aged accounts that are itching for ways to make money with them.
