More like heâ(TM)s lazy and his talent was being at the right place at the right time
I'm thinking "talent" may be a strong word here....
I mean, the words "rap" and "music" are mutually exclusive terms after all, eh?
That's not the problem. The problem is we already are in a scenario where we have two good jobs for every five people. A good job here is something that lets you afford a one-bedroom apartment by yourself in a city that consistently has employment.
Apparently you and those like you, ONLY consider a city to be the equivalent of of NYC....which is quite the outlier.
Most other cities across the US, with plenty of good jobs, allow you to afford MUCH better than a 1 room apartment.
Oh man you would eat your words if you ever worked in the power generation industry. Protip: We don't run the electrical grid like we did in the early 90s anymore. The grid functions now largely because the entire system is networked together and because engineers have instant oversight. If you want more power outages that last far longer than today, then sure, take things offline. Just don't be the one who complains that when a local breaker trips or a local generator is offline that you're sitting in the dark while a tech drives out to diagnose a problem due to not having the required information remotely.
It's easy to armchair engineer this sort of thing. But it is also quite
You're assuming the brilliant minds who designed the security of the small generator weren't also designing the big ones. The statement there was no risk, was not that there was no risk, just that the attackers didn't demonstrate they were being a risk at the time. Who knows what systems they could have gotten into. Maybe we should be sending them thankyou cards for showing restraint.
While trying to be clever with wording you wrote something quite silly. Yes of course grid batteries scale. They scale amazingly well. The benefit from applying storage at the consumer (a consumer with solar panels) is that it reduces load on transmission lines. That's nothing to do with "scaling" since by virtue of the current peak demand load already existing grid scale batteries don't have any negative impact there. And technically they still "scale" far better at the grid as it is far more efficient and cheaper to run large inverters than many small ones.
This could, in principle, be easily solved-- air conditioners could easily store coolness. Water has a high heat capacity, and you could cool water during the solar peak, and use it to cool your living area in the afternoon.
I know American houses are made of mostly paper, air and held together by termites, but you don't even need water for this to work. In buildings which are made of something stronger, cement, aerated concrete, or some other material with thermal mass (like houses in Europe) the building itself can store an incredible amount of thermal energy.
Pre-cooling / pre-heating the home is actually one suggestion for load shifting, e.g. turn your AC on at 3pm before you get home so that most of the load is spent fighting the thermal mass of your house when energy is cheap, and then the AC is only used in the evening to maintain the already cool building (and vis versa for heating). No need for a water block. But this will not work well if your house is thin wood, drywall, and rockwool.
This is not legal advice.
That much is clear, because it would be horrendously bad legal advice if it were. You went out of your way to quote a ToS that explicitly gives Twitch far more rights than you claim they have including derivative works, and somehow translate that to Twitch only being allowed to transcode video?
With that we can only assume that:
a) you don't know what all the words in the ToS mean
b) you don't know that courts already have ruled that AI training is transformative and fair use implying that the only question is whether content was legally obtained which in turn means that so far as every court has ruled to date, if you publish something for free or upload it to a service, it is in *legal* fact, fair use for AI training.
By their own admission, they had to force everyone to opt in because nobody would have if they didn't force it.
No, by their own admission the mechanism to opt-out was disabled by default. Based on current legal precedent and given the ToS you quoted, they actually don't need to give people a choice at all. But when they did give that choice, they made it opt-out, which
Did you follow the conversation. No one here was talking about AI specifically, they were talking about the "ton of rights to the content itself" something which the old ToS also granted Amazon.
And now you're cluelessly calling someone a liar despite clearly not having a clue what is being talked about and then calling them impartial, fuck all the way off with your shitty attitude.
If all you have is insults and a "you're wrong" then I'll take that as a huge win. Go throw your tantrum instead of responding to what I wrote, you can tell your fellow kids in the playground how big manly you are.
Most of their revenue is from the cloud, but they still want Linux off the desktop.
MS couldn't give 2 shits about Linux on the Desktop. It's a tiny and irrelevant market share to them.
Given that we live in a "market-driven" society, the correct conclusion is that companies are refusing to properly compensate skilled workers.
Of course they could just try and outbid each other, the end result would be a spike in pay, an over correction, and millions of workers finding themselves unable to cover loan repayments when they realise they were in fact exposed to a bubble.
Everyone could pay a fortune more today. It won't change anything for at least 3+ years, as that's the duration it takes to get skilled workers through their training system and into the market. Do you like what's happening with DRAM pricing? Did you like what happened when the 2000 dot-crash occurred? Do you want both of those to apply to your paycheck too?
Moderating a part of the supply and demand curve is sensible in a free market. It provides some form of stability at the expense of a supply / demand mismatch. That's economics 102
Better question. This driver is used for a specific purpose for specific hardware features that is largely ubiquitous. Why hasn't Microsoft provided a first party driver to do it and a secure API for vendors to use.
Yes and no. The question is: Why was un unsecure and unmaintained driver needed to run something that is completely ubiquitous in the industry. Why wasn't this a first party OS feature with a dedicated API given how at this point virtually all peripherals marketed at gamers have the feature.
Who said it's messed up? This is the Linux approach to a problem: Why reinvent the wheel when someone else has written something you can use already.
And when I said it's the Linux approach, that very much includes orphaned libraries. Linux, Windows, Unix, Cloud, it doesn't matter. This problem is so ubiquitous there's an obligatory XKCD comic: https://xkcd.com/2347/ the only difference is, the guy in Nebraska retired and no one noticed.
No, in this case it's a lack of a primary first party API in the Operating System problem. RGB is ubiquitous. Why the fuck hasn't Microsoft provided an API for it? They've shoehorned every other god damn thing in and abstracted it via DirectX, so how should anyone be surprised that developers doing dodgy stuff to sync lighting to games is causing an issue.
What this country needs is a good five cent ANYTHING!
