1) That sounds like public private indentured servitude. 2) Hacking without actual harm to others being criminalized was a huge mistake, and it has led to weaker systems. 3) These kids are learning how the man works, and getting underpaid, so they have plenty of incentive to go out and put on a black hat...
Bingo. It's not a binary (never is), but the key legal phrase here is "proximate cause". Allegedly, PG&E knowingly has equipment over 100 years old and knew about arcing on that line but failed to shut off power to it.
All of those add up to bankruptcy protection so they can restructure everything out of the previous shell and into TNPG&EWW (Totally Not Pacific Gas & Electric, Wink Wink) and continue operating the same way. So, while it's PG&E's fault, it's high time to look at the PUC.
Nonetheless, "proximate cause" in legal terms means "cause" in layperson's terms. It looks like PG&E caused this one, not climate change, and they spent strikes one and two on blowing up a San Bruno neighborhood and historic wildfires *just last year* (that we ratepayers are making up for with added fees).
Yeah... I don't get where that guy was coming from. 40% of water is diverted to wetlands restoration and over 80% of the remainder is used for farming...
Cities in California are already *really* strict with water, and you can't water your way out of fuel build-up (since water helps make more fuel). The Camp fire wasn't a climate change fire. It was a poorly maintained infrastructure fire.
Zero-emissions generation facilities (e.g. solar, hydro, wind) are slow to start up and slow down, making them poorly suited for peak/transient loads. Coal, natural gas, and diesel are far more responsive.
If residential batteries allow for smoothing of the demand side and buffer against unexpected peaking, generation can largely stay with zero-emissions sourcing.
For me, Sears hit a threshold when they began to think of the short term rather than long term relationship with the customer.
We purchased a mattress from Sears, and the wrong item showed up (different firmness). The retail side of Sears said that we would have to contact the shipping and logistics part of Sears to return the mattress, and the shipping and logistics part said that we would have to wait six weeks for them to pick it up (when they answered the phone, which was rare), and we could schedule then.
When six weeks had passed, both parts of Sears finally got on the same page: they wouldn't take a return because six weeks had passed.
I realized then and there that I'd be played by a company that just wanted my ~$1k and was willing to lose me as a customer to get it. I never went back to Sears. Never set foot in there, never bought a Craftsman tool, nothing.
It is far easier to lose a customer's trust than to gain it, and Sears has lost me forever.
Sears dying is a lesson in the value of customer service. Act like a shitty fly-by-night scam shop, disappear like one.
There is no other correct take but this. Solid-state does not mean "immune to wear", and anyone in a CS program should be aware of it. Anyone *teaching* a CS program should be embarrassed about this.
UBI isn't the cause of people being unable to create marketable value... It's the result of that occuring and those people not being left entirely for dead. Let's say it's all one rich guy and everyone else on UBI. Where is the money for the UBI coming from? From the people on UBI exclusively? It just doesn't hold up.
UBI does not somehow magically turn people into valueless non-creators. This is classic tin-foil-hat "wake up sheeple" nonsense that doesn't hold up to five seconds of scrutiny.
As long as that candidate doesnâ(TM)t evasively dodge simple questions and completely blow it in their hearing, they should be okay.
Kavanaughâ(TM)s performance was baffling. The senators on the judiciary committee were ready to be incensed for him. He just needed to be measured, above the fray... judicious, even.
We are not where I expected to be. Partisan conspiracy theories? Leave that to Graham and Grassley.
Wasnâ(TM)t he accused of having sex without a condom after having sex with a condom?
That may legally be rape in some countries, but I wouldnâ(TM)t put it in the same boat as forcible non-consensual sex or sex with a party who cannot consent.
I still think heâ(TM)s a narcissistic asshole, but I donâ(TM)t want to lose sight of facts/reality.
This is the most spectacular trolling I've seen in a long time. Someone ostensibly arguing for the efficiency of C++ misuses C++ in a way that demonstrates the too-much-rope error-prone nature of the language.
I am, first and foremost, a C++ programmer, but I have spent the last year writing python (machine learning). I find this whole argument hilariously stupid and stupidly hilarious.
There's a huge difference between legitimate public campaigns (e.g. manifesting as a boycott) and system-gaming (e.g. fraudulent Yelp reviews for a restaurant).
It's not left or right. It's intellectual honesty and integrity vs. deceit and manipulation.
A large pack of idiots have decided "fuck it, when we play Monopoly, I'm robbing the bank". It's not just destructive. It's pathetic.
Does anyone else think that this seems like a desperate attempt to raise more cash with little indication of actual manufacturing rate and quality improvements?
Peter strikes me as a bit Cocky... I mean, bragging rights waved around Willy nilly is a Dick move. Just remember to take a calming bath, massage your hands with Johnson's baby oil, and write in your journal. Paper and a Pen is a good way to collect one's thoughts.

I recently had a rental car with lane-keeping suddenly jerk the wheel towards a barrier at an off ramp.
And, yes, it was completely unacceptable. I disabled that stuff ASAP.
Amazing. Now we can finally start working on this AI thing. I was getting worried.
This looks like the micro/nano version of making a pseudo-foam metal by casting in salts and later dissolving the salts.
Laminated between sheets of metal, I'd expect this to kick ass.

That's right! I can get dozens of different craft IPAs anywhere in the country.
Oh, to have mod points....

Sleeping? Protected or not, that's just plain rape.
This would have played so well into "The Colbert Report" for coverage, it's sad to not have the chance.

Tool for the job.
VAR should be used for handing out asynchronous yellow and red cards for horrific flopping.
... like the CFMA? Signed into law by Clinton when he was... 54? Passed by a House and Senate with an average age of 240?
Yeah. Those young folks... Always gaming the system...

I dunno. I feel the need to correct a couple of misrepresentations in that post.
He seems pretty genuine to me.
Does anyone else think that this seems like a desperate attempt to raise more cash with little indication of actual manufacturing rate and quality improvements?
Unfortunately, actual Tesla ownership comes with a startling number of annoying little faults, like screen failure, door failure, indicator failure...
The difference between theory and practice? In theory, there is no difference...
Just to be clear, you did eventually notice that my entire comment was just a way to make penis jokes, right?
