I hope they were aware that you can get much better performing embedded PC boards for the same amount of money as a Mac Mini. There's really no reason to use a Mac Mini in a custom case if all you want is to run Windows on it.

In the real world, that is thermodynamically impossible. Just think about it. Both heating and cooling with people in the building (and going in/out) is usually more expensive than with people out of the building.

Yeah, because 2h per week of gym at school is going to do very much to the weight, ha ha ha. All you need to do to undo it is to drink a couple cans of a soft drink, even if they really did work out like crazy for the entirety of those 2h.

For tax purposes, the immigration status matters very, very little. You're either nonresident or resident for tax purposes. That's *it*. You can be a resident for tax purposes but illegally present from the point of view of immigration law, for example.

So, which 501c3 do you run, so that you're oh so on the forefront of teh rulez? Because I think you're just making it all up.

Sounds about as lame as lame can get :(

Man, if they can't get the log for exactly what transpired when they see a messed up entry, they are fucked already.

He already hacked someone's account, they didn't care (the "not a bug" reply) - it apparently wasn't a person important enough. They acted like idiots. That's all. Does it take a fucking genius to understand that there is a language barrier and to do the due diligence?

The link was not broken, it demonstrated that the bug was indeed there. The Facebook imbeciles didn't follow through with proper administrative access: they had to view the private profile of a third party, you can't just do that without being logged in administrative impersonation mode. I mean, how stupid can one be?

Protip: there are no names. Nobody will ever identify themselves to you, other than with a numerical badge id.

The obvious solution: wreck your credit so badly that no one will let you, or anyone else, open a credit card ;)

Even that is a bit untrue. There have been a lot of plane crashes that were caused by the pilots not putting down the plane on the nearest capable airstrip (or ditching in water). SR111 and the 2nd IL-62 crash in Poland come immediately to my mind, I'm sure there's many more.

In case of your typical permanently distracted driver who is likely to kill the kid and kill the dog no matter what, I'd take being rear ended, thank you very much.

Nope. The automation must be designed so that when you need to take over, the car is in a safe state. That's like man-machine interface 101. The whole reason for automation is so that you don't need to pay attention at all, and when you do, you can take your time.

This only makes sense if you're a doofus who thinks humans are much better. Nope, they aren't, they kill thousands each month in the U.S. alone, all people with good intentions, all people who think of themselves as above average. Yes, you still have no clue, and you keep showing it left right and center.

Automation doesn't have to be perfect. It only needs to be a bit better than humans in the average case. If all automation does is cut the fatalities-per-mile rate in half, it's a win. It will be much better than that, it won't ever be perfect. Beating humans at the driving game isn't all that hard.

It doesn't matter how much you wish to pay for it, it's simply infeasible with the building still in the ground. It may work by chance for buildings where the heating rate is high enough that the bed bugs won't reach the basement from a floor high up, but otherwise it's hopeless, especially in single-family residential scenarios. As soon as you have a finished basement with drywall covering the foundation walls, you're screwed - you won't ever heat the walls to anything nearly bad for bed bugs. No way. You have a big thermal resistance between the room air and the wall, and a small thermal resistance between the wall and the soil. The soil of course has some thermal resistance as well, so you could eventually heat it up enough, but it'd take weeks, and the inside of the building would need to be at 80C or so, about as high as you can go without melting stuff. Oh, and good luck exposing the inside of the entirety of concrete underground walls in any building that got offices and other finished spaces underground.

Don't worry, all that money is going to be spent on other things, spiraling into a $120,000 a day deficit in a year or two. That's usually how it goes in the U.S. People have no clue how to manage their own finances, so why would you expect them to manage big budgets any better?
