I bought a RingConn for an ailing person I know who wanted to track metrics and it's pretty good considering it's cheaper and has no subscription.

Fairly solid build.

Didn't our trillionaire-on-paper fascist saviour assure us that despite what physicists and engineers said, data centers would move to orbit because space is cold, power is plentiful, and radiation's not an issue?

Elon couldn't have been moronically wrong about that, he's rich!

Capping the capital gains tax break is, of course, the right answer.

The capital gains special tax rate should apply to a maximum of $500k in income plus any gains from the sale of your primary residence (and only your primary residence, not any other real estate). Everything above that should be taxed as ordinary income. And critically, that $500k number should be automatically adjusted annually, indexed to the CPI or some other reasonable inflation metric of your choice.

Maybe also allow a once-per-decade exemption for sale of a partnership or sole proprietorship. Maybe. I could go either way on that.

But the special treatment for income from stock sales, stock dividends, and interest should be capped.

I think they're talking about rack-sized UPS and up, not desktop size.

The bjg ones I've used have an LCD panel on the front with status, including current time.

Anyway, I avoid ever setting my cron jobs to a 0 or 5 for this basic reason. */15 style is the unavoidable exception.

> Copilot isn't working, either.

Well at least there's an upside to all this.

=Smidge=

Copilot isn't working, either.

But at least China has pledged to address the problem.

China pledges and promises all sorts of stuff....

They are basically one of the worlds greatest and most prolific liars too.....

Go over there and try to start a business (with them by force)....and see just how far promises made go for you.

Perfectly described - much kudos.

We still don't even see leaks of the unredacted Epstein's Files and that's the most egregious material possible to be illegally concealing.

Not like in the 70's when a Mathematics professor orchestrated the raid on an FBI office.

> people are still using the 'we had no backups' as an excuse?

Why pay someone with considerable practical experience when a kid out of an Associate's Program "knows computers"?

Survival of the Fittest, perhaps.

They could have set the QoS tag to the lowest level for capped welfare accounts but it sounds like they just wanted to be dicks about it.

Had they behaved decently it's unlikely NY would have taken notice. Maybe other providers will take notice?

I dunno, patronize a better company if you can find one. Higher prices will likely nudge customers to switch even if they don't know the cause.

This guy, along with Al Gore and Hazel O'Leary led the effort to kill the Integral Fast Reactor which was operational by 1991 which simultaneously solved the nuclear waste and energy generation problems.

From what I can tell getting this going was the only thing GHWB did right.

It's said Gore did it to pay off Greenpeace, Kerry did it for the Lincoln Labs tokamak project, and O'Leary did it for Big Oil (like Ford killing Project Liberty). Later Gore parlayed this betrayal into his slide show grift.

Now 35 years later we need cleaner energy, huh? Yeah we flippin' told you that in 1992. And we'll be buying our new reactors from China.

PS China still runs 90% coal. Be careful with the analogies.

Testing AI isn't an enumerated power of Congress.

NY is just doing their job* yet have to bitch about it. That's a clue about how well this will work out.

Given the pace of government it's not crazy to think that a two year old model will be certified as licensed and NY residents won't be allowed to use newer models.

The effectiveness will be as a jobs program for a few people. Or for a few politicians to take corporate bribes for a repeal.

* I haven't read the NY Constitution in decades ... "presumably"
