You mean the JFK documents that were released containing hundreds of social security numbers of federal employees? Not exactly a glowing recommendation.

It's Windows, I'm sure there's a registry key to turn it off.

...or they could use more efficient lasers.

Whereas NIF’s 1990s-era technology is only 0.5% efficient, Campbell says that modern lasers can get as high as 20%.

There's a theory going around that this sort of behavior is caused by feeding too much advertising copy in the training material. It creates a bot that flatters and persuades, but provides little useful insight.

Humans have a negativity bias that causes us to focus on the bad things that happen and ignore the good. This means a hand full of vaccine reactions has a more profound effect on people than the doubling of life expectancy over the past century.

Wow, you really can't even continue reading once sentence after the one that triggers you.

Everything you said is true for an individual, but misses the point the parent was making regarding the total number of charging stations needed.

If an EV needs to charge 20 minutes every 200 miles, and an ICE vehicle needs to pump gas for 5 minutes every 200 miles, then you will need 4 times the number of public level 3 chargers as gas pumps to serve the same number of cars. In fact if roadtripping EVs are mostly charging at normal meal breaks, then you will need even more chargers, since use will be more clustered compared to gas stops.

On the flip side, the public chargers will only be used by people on road trips or who don't have a home charger which will decrease their volume. Still I would expect you to need more chargers than gas pumps along highways, and fewer in the middle of cities.

First of all, nobody gives a shit about level 2 chargers, and we should just ignore level 1 completely since they are so slow. They're destination chargers and you should have at least one for every EV on the road. Touting these as viable public charging only causes confusion and distrust among the general public regarding EVs.

Level 3 is what everyone cares about, and that's what needs some level of parity with fuel pumps. Lack of level 3 charging is what leaves people with EVs stranded, and stranded EV owners is bad news for EV adoption.

Furthermore, it's not enough to have level 3 chargers installed. They have to be maintained, and that's the biggest issue with charging right now, broken chargers!

What could possibly go wrong?

They wrote this software for free, and they gave you for free security updates that don't require accepting any new features. They even went out of their way to continue putting out security releases (ESR 115.13) for operating systems that Microsoft and Apple don't even support anymore. And they did this all six months in advance so you would have plenty of time to upgrade.

But enjoy your freedom to run old unpatched software.

In many ways I like the Lyttle Lytton contest even more. There were some very good Bulwer-Lytton entries, but it could also devolve into who could write the longest run-on sentence. Having a short word limit forced authors to really distill their horribleness.

If you take a book, reproduce it exactly, and add commentary at the end, the resulting work is a derivative work and you need permission of the original copyright holder to distribute it. FSF has only granted permission to use the AGPL exactly as it is with no modification or additions, so Neo4j had no permission to use their modified version of the AGPL, and doing so was violating FSF's copyright.

Your claim is testable. If Nate Silver is part of a "Baltimore Stockbroker Scam" as you claim, there should be another individual that has proven to be more accurate by now. However, Nate Silver famously was wrong about the 2016 election, and no one has claimed the prize as a superior prognosticator.

The site has really gone downhill since Nate Silver left. However, I am going to miss their polling averages. Outlier polls make news, but the average tells the real story.

Most of them were DOS games with an installer that made the necessary shortcuts in Windows. They run fine on Linux with DOSBox. I've been playing them that way for years.
