Best to roll it into an IRA, not into your next employers plans. With an IRA you can invest in anything you want, from ETFs to stocks and options. I've done that every time I've switched jobs.

Maybe we could make something that is able to move on top of the water and travel around the world decarbonizing the oceans as it goes. Oh, we have this huge industry called shipping. If we could retrofit these vessels with a decarbonizer then as they travel around the the world they can make money by participating in carbon capture.

It's an important discussion to have. There's an emerging field of machine ethics, especially in military use. The questions come around such as the chain of command. A system of rules will never be enough because there may be things outside the parameters of its programming. With unmanned autonomous weapons (UAW) the machine becomes judge, jury, and executioner.

I have argued that the ability to disobey an order is intrinsic to respecting the sanctity of human life. It cannot just be a cold blooded killer. The ability to NOT take the shot is just as important as its precision to do so.

Then the next part is how do we hold these systems accountable? When it's a human we can punish the individual, or those responsible along the chain of command. But how do we punish a UAW? It needs the ability to explain and rationalize to OTHERS the decision that it made. We need a system in place to be able to judge, and a system of punishment and enforcement.

We need experts in these fields to be able to voice their opinions and help guide the regulations that will come out. We can't go naively in thinking that banning the development of technology will suffice. If we don't build it, someone else will, and without international norms being set much like the Geneva convention on war crimes, it will be an unregulated mess that will be hard to reign in.

As an example of this in a large City. Tesla in Portland, OR just recently opened a new charging station near the airport on the East side (10.1mi by road). From the downtown city center, which is on the West side, all chargers are about 9mi by direct flight, typically around 14mi by road. If I happen to be in the city center it is basically a 9mi radius of no Tesla Superchargers. There are a handful of other fast chargers.

In the last year on a route from Portland, OR to Salt Lake City, UT, there have been at least 4 new Super Charging stations installed, with the weakest link being from Boise, ID to Tremonton, UT, having only stations in Twin Falls, ID and Burry, ID, which are within 30mi of each other.

For slow charging, I'm not as familiar as I happen to live in an apartment complex with 2 charging stations, so I don't typically use these, but do see them at some stores from various networks. This is certainly a part that could improve, and would be useful for those without charging options at their apartment.

One of the biggest burdens and frustrations from any of these chargers is the need to sign up for yet another app, and possibly pay 25% or more without membership. Also the lack of current pricing being easily scene, makes it currently hard to shop around for rates. Though as far as a daily/weekly charging solution, you're likely to figure one out nearby and then use the same one, and then maybe have 2-4 apps.

The app requirement is a frustration on many points if they don't allow access in a more direct manner. I know I had trouble trying to charge from a slow charger at a park in Vancouver, BC because it uses a local (Canadian) company and my cell phone had no service once I crossed the border (thanks Ting). The point of this story is going to a different area may mean that you need to download yet another app in order to access charging.

I do this a couple times a year because I can't bring my house with me when I go on these 200+mi trips.

You hit the nail on the head. I used my iPhone 6s up until this year when it slipped out of my pocket and the screen broke. It was starting to get a little dysfunctional too, typing was becoming a problem with input delay, but it did everything I wanted it to.

Moving to the iPhone 14 Pro, I can't really say there is any feature of it that makes me go, "Oh, wow, this is what I was missing!" It's certainly an upgrade, better camera, faster processor. But functionally, it does everything the iPhone 6s did but has wireless charging and no headphone jack.

Yeah, Apple has become simply iterative each year, doing small hardware improvements, but not really innovating in anyway that makes me think I'm missing out on some function that new phones offer.

I think this iteration they've gone the right direction in that the 14 Pro and the 14 Pro Max are identical other than size. Previous iPhones, such as the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8+ were different functionally. If you wanted the better camera, faster processor, you had to get the bigger phone.

This was my feeling too, they made it a pain. Even with the app you had to give up permissions, such as notifications, to qualify, and also had to re-qualify it every so often. A far cry from set and forget. I liked supporting a local organization here, it was a little extra on top of what I donate to them.

It annoys me that KDE and Windows handle this differently. With KDE when logging in I start typing and the first character is the first character of the password. In Windows, it'll eat the first character as "unlocking" the login screen. Instead I try "Enter" on Windows then password, but "Enter" on Linux tries to login without a password.

What percentage of Android cell phones are sold through Google, huh?

All web browsers on iOS are required to use webkit as their engine, essentially making the only difference between them is the user interface that they provide, rather than the engine that renders the websites.

I would turn on simultaneous output on PulseAudio and both of us plug our headphones in and adjust the volume to each of our tastes.

There are a few differences than your single seller of a home example.

1) Ability to negotiate price - landlords using their system are discouraged to negotiate at all on price.

2) Lack of competition - they remove "competition" by bringing more real estate rental companies in. Rather than 100 companies each setting their prices and competing against each other for tenants, now it's 100 companies using 1 company to set prices given knowledge of all 100 companies. Essentially this makes them into a single acting entity that are no longer competing with each other.

There may still be a couple rogue landlords rolling their own, but when a large proportion of them use the same software to set prices they start to act as a monopoly. It would be curious to see if they also try to balance vacancies between customers.

When I started going to college 5 years ago I picked up a Brother printer with toner. Saved any print credits at school for color printing and the rare time I had to print on campus. I've printed 2200 pages and have replaced the toner once. The drum still states it has 9800 pages left. It can print on both sides, and can scan from a feeder or the flatbed.

It works out of the box with Ubuntu, and works with Windows. Best part, even if it sits for six months it can still print and the ink wells haven't gone dry.

I used my iPhone 6s from brand new until jut this month with the iPhone 14 Pro replacing it. It's something to be said that I haven't felt there has been any feature that has made me think, "Wow, that would be awesome." Getting the new phone I'm still like, "hmm, it is more responsive, better pictures and better audio quality, but there isn't anything NEW I'm doing with it."
