Yeah but instead of making the drones drop safety triangles, you have them be the triangles. Carry four so that you have a spare. Ideally you also make them able to pick up one which has failed while sitting. Drones are cheap.

In some cases it's one thing, in some cases it's the other, in some it's even both — someone is looting a company and the people they're replacing are crucial. They can claim they were suckered in by AI companies' promises.

You might say it was PS3, because Cell, but most early titles mostly ran on the PPE and used the SPEs only for graphics, which is a lot like today's systems. The PS2's architecture was super interesting, being made out of multiple weird MIPS cores glued together with an ordinary one, and in weird ways. That generation is also obviously notable for being where the writing went up on the wall for highly custom consoles, with the PC-based Xbox. Even though Microsoft themselves built a fairly interesting console in the following generation — tri-core PPC is weird, even if in other ways it was not very extraordinary — since then everyone but Nintendo has built just crippled AIO PCs.

It doesn't matter where they are stopped, within 10 minutes of a stop that lasts that long they must be placed 10 feet aft, (assuming you're on the right side as you're facing) 100 feet aft, and 100 feet afore. That means they're walking 10 feet aft and placing one, 90 more feet aft and placing another, 200 feet forwards so they're placing one 100 feet ahead, and then 100 feet back to their rig. I am admittedly not great at math, but this seems to me to add up to 300 feet, unless you've got two humans in the truck willing and able to place warning devices. In that case, each person only has to walk 200 feet, and I won't be so petty as to count both of their steps since nobody has to walk the full distance.

With that out of the way, let's have a more interesting discussion. There's no reason why a vehicle cannot have self-deploying reflective warning triangles based on radio controlled vehicles. It should be doable with vehicles wholesaling around $100. I think it would be most prudent to use tracked vehicles. It would probably cost more for something to pick them up off the ground again than for all three. And come to think of it, better to have four just in case. Alternately, how about a flare mortar? Wink wink for the many humor impaired out there.

My manager is an expert at doing my job. I cannot express how much that helps.

Without wage suppression, food will cost twice as much or more.

That explains why they're flailing. They should have laid off a Cyrix instead.

Are you saying Trump did 9/11 so he could have the bigliest building?

That's exactly what's wrong with USDA Organic and other similar labels. The founders of the Organic gardening movement absolutely did not mean that. Organic farming was envisioned as a cyclical system where human feces returned to fields and soil health and community health supported one another. We kind of, sort of do that with sewage sludge, but it's terrible. Even if you didn't mix in all the various stuff people pour down their drains (which is pretty much everything you can imagine, if it will go down a drain, someone is pouring it there) you'd still have to deal with modern pharmaceuticals, many of which survive intact through both the human body and the sewage processing system.

You cannot successfully reduce a concept like organic farming to a list of approved products and still have it be true to that concept.

It's a pretty safe bet that no one person could do all the things when the system is this big and complicated, so that doesn't prove anything.

Also, Amazon apparently can't either.

Perhaps I'm salty because Bethesda just let the world down with announcement of a Fallout 4 rerelease (which is just going to fuck up all the mods and implement a little more eye candy, and fix almost no bugs, if history is any indication) but I'm pretty tired of rehashes of old games. Halo CE also has the problem that a significant percentage of the game is just fucking boring, namely the part where you're going through a maze of twisty passages, all alike. They're not likely to change that part substantially. The rest of the game is great, I'm not a Halo hater and in fact I bought the MCC edition on Steam, but introducing a new generation of gamers to one of the series' greatest misses is a poor substitute for a new title in it.

Maybe this is why our supervisors don't have to be shitty to us where I work. We have metrics that make it immediately obvious who's doing what. For example, I just had a performance review, and I meet a month's obligations in a week. So nobody has to ride my ass or count the minutes I spend taking breaks.

Apple had a line of servers before. Where is that business now? Oh yeah, they pulled a Google and canned it completely. Twice, in fact. But by all means, buy Apple servers, there's absolutely no chance you will get abandoned a third time, right?

My local Sears (in the Capitola Mall) had all kinds of departments. They did tires and batteries, had sizable camping and exercise equipment sections, a fairly decent electronics section with I think three different computers, appliances, housewares, jewelry and watches, and probably some other things I'm forgetting besides clothing obviously. And they had a fairly active catalog and layaway department, as Sears still had a fairly large catalog at the time. They were fairly easy to deal with, their prices were decent, they had good sales. They also had parts departments and you could get replacement parts for most of their tools many years later, and of course the hand tools had lifetime warranties (except for torque wrenches, even if the failure is not related to the torque part... sigh.)

The one complaint I did have about vintage Sears is that those parts were usually stupidly expensive, like they'd sell you a $5 primer bulb for a string trimmer for $20 plus shipping.

The fact that Azure is popular isn't a coincidence. It's in part because it's the easiest thing to get to from Windows, and Windows is still dominant in business and government. As you say, integration.

So if you're using less Windows at home, Azure is less appealing. There's still a case for it, you might still choose to use it etc, it's just less likely. That's why whether the customers are running Windows or not matters. And Windows is becoming steadily more offensive — can you ever trust it with your data on any basis? And oh yeah, Microsoft has had several embarrassing failures of security in Azure-related services.
