These are vinyl. They just tear at the top where the hook goes.

It was a race between my cat chewing the cords holding my horizontal blinds together vs the vertical blinds just deciding to self destruct. I’ve had wet toilet paper that tore less easily then the vertical blinds I have.

Immigration judges aren’t actual judges. They are in the executive branch.

Crypto was an annoying bubble. If you were in the tech industry, you had a couple of years where people asked you if you could add blockchain to whatever your project was and then a few more years of hearing about NFTs. And GPUs shot up in price. Crypto people promised to revolutionize banking and then get rich quick schemes. It took time for the hype to die down, for people to realize that the tech wasn’t useful, and that the costs of running it weren’t worth it.

The AI bubble is different. The proponents are gleeful while they explain how AI will let you fire all your copywriters, your graphics designers, your programmers, your customer support, etc. Every company is trying to figure out how to shoehorn AI into their products. While AI is a useful tool, the bubble around it has hurt a lot of people.

That’s the bubble side. It also gets a lot of baggage because of the slop generated by it, the way it’s trained, the power usage, the way people just turn off their brains and regurgitate whatever it says, etc. It’s harder to avoid than crypto.

I made a typo for one of my employment dates while filing the background check. Caught it right after submitting it and then asked around and everybody told me that they’ll call and ask about it if they can’t figure it out from just looking back at my resume.

Next morning they called me and said they had to close the role because of budget cuts. Two months later I got an email saying my hiring was being paused because my background check was flagged and I had 10 days from the check to dispute it. I decided to call the company and they told me that they had already hired someone else for the role.

So yeah, getting the dates right can be important.

My point is that the part about the prosecutor only applies to the last part of the sentence. It’s the newspaper doing an “allegedly” thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn’t actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.

The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.

According to prosecutors is describing “…for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a “civil war,”” not the sentencing.

This isn’t an issue with the Full self driving that people signed up for the beta for. It happens with the cruise control too.

Yeah, Tesla’s don’t have ordinary cruise control. They have adaptive cruise control and autopilot, which is adaptive cruise control + lane keeping. Both just use the camera. If you’re hoping to rest your foot during a cross country drive, then you better prepare for it to lurch every time it sees a shadow. Once every couple of miles if the road has enough shadows.

Nearly 98% of cars sold in the US are automatic. Manual transmissions are often not even an option for a lot of models.

Allowing Google to run an ad campaign targeting their members wasn’t the benefit Blue Cross was talking about, that’s a side effect from them not turning off the data sharing option in the Google analytics settings.

The analytics data is used for prioritizing development work. If a tool they have on the website relies on a library that isn’t compatible with a new version of React, for instance, do they know how many people use it? Having analytics allows you to decide what’s worth spending the development time to maintain.

The analytics would be for the web development team to see which pages/features are used. Usually a product manager uses that data for setting priorities on what gets worked on.

It was his stepmom’s gun, not the mom’s. Article was probably edited at some point, since I see at least one place where they forgot the step part.

A real judge. Immigration judges are employees of the Department of Justice and follow the orders of the Attorney General. He has another case in front of a federal judge in New Jersey who can question that determination.

I don’t think you’ll find a color laser printer that size. They use pretty large drums to hold the toner. It’d be hard to even find a mono laser printer in that size.

It’s not mentioned in the filing, so we can only speculate.

…on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims.

That’s all we’ve got to go on.

It basically is a tweet. It’s a quick post, which is designed for The Verge writers to write a quick thought or link to a story using a website they control instead of posting it on Elon’s website.

It looks like someone turned the saturation up.

Tinder isn’t verifying it. It’s just a joke.

You don’t need to take it anywhere. The car will download it using its own antenna and then prompt you to schedule the update the next time you get in the car.
