They could equip the robots with tasers, including embedded in their outer shells. A truly determined thief could probably find a way, but most would end up on the floor.
First, see again the part about skill level and quality of gear. Next, consider that since the mild clipping produced harmonics that make the human ear perceive the sound as louder, the tube system will effectively have a bit more dynamic range than the equal on paper transistor system even though going by the numbers the systems performed identically. They just weren't capturing ALL of the relevant numbers.
Then there's things like guitar amps where the clipping and distortion are desirable.
But for the real question, transients are a funny thing. They show up in odd places. It takes a surprising amount of headroom to have no clipping at all. That's especially true when recording since you don't have the ability to run through it once to find the best level. The real world can get messy sometimes.
Given the equipment of the day, the people swearing tubes sounded better were right even if they didn't know why. The problem was solvable but first it had to be recognized and characterized.
So where did all that traffic go? All you did was make it more expensive to take a triop that the people must take (unless they quit their jobs). There's not a lot of elasticity in rush hour demand. The people who could choose to travel earlier or later already did because of the traffic.
Actually, there is a reason. The needle would jump off of the record if you tried to make it as loud as CDs are now. They were physically constrained to not overdo the loudness TOO MUCH.
The loudness on CDs could be reduced if the executives weren't tasteless and tin-eared.
Actually, the tube thing turned out to be valid. It seems that when a tube is starting to overload, it just happens to generate harmonic distortion that makes the human ear perceive the sound as louder while transistor amps produce different harmonics. Given a really good engineer with top notch gear, that may not matter much, but it matters a lot for average skills and average gear. Of course, we now know that and the effect can be created digitally.
Now if we could sack the guys that crank the knobs to 11 and compress the result until it stops pegging the needle, we might get clean digital sound.
That would be terrible advice. Fortunatly, nobody has suggested that. TFA suggested changing the setting to list updates for manual selection, and that's not at all bad advice. Wait a few days to see if people are screaming about horrible problems with the update, then select them manually.
That would work even better if MS actually described what the update fixes (so you could decide if it's even relevant) rather than slipping things in.
Given the problems in the U.S. from outrageously expensive healthcare, it's nearly a crime that doctors prescribe the latest and greatest patented name-brand drugs rather than preferring generics first. I simply cannot imagine that it could be worth hundreds a month to go from 2 pills a day to just 1.
The IT equivalent would be insisting on a mainframe when a mid-sized white box server would get the job done.
You're ignoring the next steps though. As situations improve for the community as a whole, the car is just the start. Next they want to upgrtade their apartment, generally within the community. At that point, building owners either start to upgrade or their buildings go vacant. At that point, strong building regulations can drive improvements within the means of the current residents.
When that process happens over time, it builds nice communities. When it happens due to a sudden influx of people with more dollars than sense you destroy the community.
I prefer a plan that raises things from the bottom up so that the residents already there naturally make improvements based on their improved financial status.
And there you have it. The business world is being run by too big to fail idiots who got a lucky spin of the wheel once and now fancy themselves to be financial geniuses. Meanwhile, large old and once well respected solid companies are splitting apart, getting bought out, or just plain failing left and right.
That depends on what sense you mean. Most cloud providers seem to have decent integrity but wasn't there a story here a while back where a company lost control of it's control panel to a group of black hats?
That will be a matter for the parents, including the parents of the other kids. But note well that the state has never even attempted to exclude unvaccinated children from anything other than school attendance (which is by far the strongest exposure to risk).
They arrested someone for something that they have been well informed is not a crime. So they committed the crime of false arrest AT LEAST.
Beyond that, since the department has been ordered to stop doing that, they also defied orders in the process (or someone up the chain of command did by not passing those orders on).
The latter is a disciplinary matter, the former is a crime.
The chain doesn't stop there though. We then have a choice, apply force to get the kids an alternative education or accept that they will likely become totally dependent on the state one day because they will get no education.

See Mork and Mindy talking about not having enough money at a restaurant on Ork. "We had to tip the waiter".

Some people wait for the little red light to change their oil. That sort of person should pay someone to look after their car and computer.
Of course, that sort of person probably won't read TFA or /. and probably has no idea how to change the update settings.
If a bad surgeon was no more likely to cause injury or death than a bad driver, then yes, it might be OK.
As for the taxes and fees, that's between Uber, the driver, and the local government. Not my problem.

It was neither good nor bad.
Perhaps because they didn't have any money?
I prefer a plan that raises things from the bottom up so that the residents already there naturally make improvements based on their improved financial status.
In what universe is fixing up crumbling old downtowns and making them livable again an evil thing to do?
The one where as a result, many of the people who were living there can no longer afford to do so as a result.
They've got your money, so you get the finger. It's that simple.
Updatable these days just means they'll feel more free to ship with bugs now on the promise of an eventual fix that will never happen.
Updatable is only meaningful if there exists a free OS you can load yourself.
And there you have it. The business world is being run by too big to fail idiots who got a lucky spin of the wheel once and now fancy themselves to be financial geniuses. Meanwhile, large old and once well respected solid companies are splitting apart, getting bought out, or just plain failing left and right.
So you have little doubt that a poorly educated single parent on food stamps will have any problems homeschooling or paying for private school?
And by extension, we would then have forced vaccinations for anyone not wealthy enough for private school.
If you must do something in order to be allowed to do a mandatory thing, then it too becomes mandatory.
Whirl that around a few times and you have to either drop it or run afoul of the separation of church and state.
That depends on what sense you mean. Most cloud providers seem to have decent integrity but wasn't there a story here a while back where a company lost control of it's control panel to a group of black hats?
There is a certain danger in that, but what's your alternative? Remove custody? Repeal compulsory education?
There's just not a lot of options in a (more or less) free country.
That will be a matter for the parents, including the parents of the other kids. But note well that the state has never even attempted to exclude unvaccinated children from anything other than school attendance (which is by far the strongest exposure to risk).

The dosing schedule is irrelevant. The remedial action is that the un-vaccinated children are excluded from the school until the crisis has passed.
Of course, C++ started life as a pre-processor for C called cfront.
