Crashed the family car on my first day driving. Into our house. Our driveway is a mini hill with a turn to get in and then loop to the side with the corner of the house being at the corner. Accelerating up the little hill meant the house jumped in front of the car! As it was my first time driving, the blame was placed. Firmly on dad, as teacher.

Luckily the damage wasn’t too bad to repair, but still the two most expensive things were broken on one day.

After the expiry of the copyright i assume.

I’m surprised they made 440m. However, investing in r+d is not unusual. This amount is not a huge investment for them based in overall revenue.

hitmyspot ,

Not really. There are multiple instances which limits the chance. I assume some are able to access reddit too. Also, I’ve had more unreliability with Lemmy as its small servers and the code has often required restarts to fix issues.

Lemmy is fallible, just like anything else.

It would be nice to have options. Log in with a new log In. Use your existing log in and join accounts. Use your existing log In and sandbox them.

Difficult to manage their supply chains? This means look the other way.

If they really wanted to, they could very easily avoid north Korean outsourcing. I have never accidentally outsourced to north Korea.

Check the contracts as part of the investigation. If there was no requirement to keep confidentiality or prevent the use ofnslave labor, its willful. If there was and there were nonchecks, its effectively the same thing.

Fine the company double the total amount they paid to outsource at a minimum. It would be interesting if we had fines based on total revenue. As an original for amazon, that’s a huge chunk of change. Of course, the company would be legally distant from the main ownership, but one can dream.

hitmyspot ,

Oh, I don’t doubt that. However the fact that presumable neither of us work in outsourcing and can deduce that makes it seem willful ignorance.

hitmyspot ,

Could just be cos yellow.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, but that cool factor was more valuable as a marketing tool than a reveal in the film. It wasn’t a plot point so, I don’t blame them too much but it did reduce the impact in the cinema.

hitmyspot ,

Is it still ludicrously overpriced? Like worth more than the combined value of other companies with more profit, more sales and bigger market share? All while other companies are catching up in tech with better build quality, better marketing and no poisonous head?

hitmyspot ,

Which leads to less money. I’d prefer a few failed games and the industry learns. Fun games sell, it microtransaction nor half baked shovelware. Some strike it lucky with micro transactions, but only if the game is good.

hitmyspot ,

Double edged sword. It’s also a case of only being shown what they want to show us. Certainly change the information asymmetry, some better, some worse.

hitmyspot ,

Seems odd, to purposely restrict income. It would be worse for residents long term if necessary infrastructure is absent. Without new hotels, older hotels will become decrepid. There will be no appetite to refurbish where additional rooms cannot be added.

Surely it would have been better to build new hotels in areas that need an influx of construction or people. It would take time but should revitalise areas. If drug tourism is the problem, then make efforts tonstop that, not hamstring tourism in general.

In sating that, they may have already tried. I know they have already made restrictions on drug purchases for residents only a fewbyrsrs ago. Perhaps its not working. It just seems like this would be a verybslow fix, where the negative effects are also very slow and difficult to correct later.

hitmyspot ,

No, I get the point. I also realize that overtourisn is bad, by definition. Tourism is not inherently bad, though.

By artificially worsening tourism like this, it will lead to less tourists, butbalsona poorer experience for other tourists. This will lead to a reduction in investment in infrastructure, or amenities, like the Rijksmuseum. Locals benefit from the money tourists bring in more ways than just being a business that is tourist facing.

Yes, the hotels can renovate. But only to reduce capacity. The reason for hotels to renovate is competition or increase capacity. Without either, why bother. It will be less hassle and more profitable not to renovate. That’s my issue. Its inventivising decrepid hotels and bad infrastructure.

Tourism broadens the mind. We should look at more sustainable tourism and using tourism money as a tool to rejuvenate, rather than impinge.

Airbnbs often get blamed, but if hotels were sufficient and reasonable, airbnb becomes a poor proposition with its silly rules and extra hassle. We should appropriately tax and regulate what is now unregulated. Compact Eco friendly hotels in less congested areas encourages responsible tourism.

Its like bike culture, there. If you want people to move from cars, you don’t let the roads deteriorate to dangerous levels. You ensure there is alternative infrastructure like public transport and bicycle lanes.

Psvr (original) as an amazon prime day deal about baby ear after launch. It was about AUS150, so US100 by today’s exchange.

hitmyspot ,

So not only does each stock holder own less of the company as a percent but the actual value of their stock is also lower.

This is normal for a company, when it releases more stock, as the cononay foes not magically become worth more. What’s odd is releasing more while its already tanking and needing the funds so soon after it floated.

I winder where the money is going?

hitmyspot ,

It can be either. Calling it a new release is ambiguous. They also call it a new stock offering, which is also ambiguous but is why I presumed dilution.

hitmyspot ,

The value is hypothetical. Trumpnvant sell for 6 months. Sonsoneone is getting money when people Bought the shares. It may have gone to the company of shares were diluted, but then why do they need money so quickly?

hitmyspot ,

Its less of a problem of lock in here in Australia. Our rates tend to only be fixed for the first few years. Then you go to the variable rate. We have an opposite problem, where we have what’s known as a mortgage cliff. People who signed up at affordable repayment amounts end that lock in period and have payments jump significantly. Some are forced to sell.

Being locked in seems better than being forced to sell.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, just America was affectednbynthe global financial crisis. Unless you mean the sub prime rates, which ISNA different thing than fixed rates. Usually those on a sub prime rate are on a higher rate not lower.

The Joker is Probably Completely Sane and Just Uses his Public Image of Being Insane to Keep Others Underestimating Him as Just Some Lunatic

The man regularly outwits far more supposedly cognizant opponents including Batman and Lex Luthor, who are canonically recognized as two of thr smartest people on the entire planet....

hitmyspot ,

Insane people can be very clever in other ways. See Hitler, Trump, ted kaczinsky, Ed kemper.

I certainly think the joker uses others perception of him as a tool. He also wants to wwtvh the world burn.

hitmyspot ,

So fine them and require all governemtn documents and legal documents of anybkind to be in a true open format. Its only a compatibility problem if people continue to use their format.

hitmyspot ,

They don’t need to fine them in every country. Just in Germany. If they pull our of Germany, they need to pull out of the EU. They are not doing that. They will make their document open, for real.

hitmyspot ,

I ownder if its a tactic to get people, or mainly businesses to upgrade no so they are still in the windows ecosystem. They won’t want to pay for windows, so making it seem like their computer is outdated and should be upgraded is not a bad strategy. If a movement of converting to Linux starts, many users might leave. For good.

hitmyspot ,

The analogy of toothpaste was used but yoghurt in a poch might be a better analogy.

hitmyspot ,

Why restrict ourselves to painters? Just have random people give their view. We could call it the view. It emphasises their opinion is what matters.

hitmyspot ,

Lol, I was having a joke about the fact we already do this with shows like the view.

hitmyspot ,

As I see it, there are 3 options.

Allow forks and let community sort itself.

Pass on to someone trusted, that ideally has been part of the project for a long time, or even the start.

Have a fork that is officially endorsed.

Depending on the software, different approaches may be appropriate. For something like this with VPN, I would want the fork to be vetted by the community before trusting it. If the original owner endorsed one, id probably update to it quickly but keep an eye on the community.

If it was something with less security risk, id probably move quicker if features were added I like. With something like this, with higher risk, id be assessing forks and alternatives equally.

hitmyspot ,

Yep, I just switched yesterday.

hitmyspot ,

Haha, me too. I tried opensuse first but switched to mint.

Software for equipment and software for imaging etc. I work in healthcare. I’d love to use Linux but we’re stuck on software that is based on Java from 8 years ago, as the newer version is not compatible with some older equipment. Add to that, the newer version costs $500 per user to upgrade with no additional features, and this is just for one medical camera, that treats the camera like a webcam. The problem is how it stores images is in a custom database, through a server. Otherwise, the Java part should be easy enough.

Medical equipment is super expensive and they only make a few thousand of some of them. So, the software is super expensive too and not updated nor is there versions for Mac or Linux. Heck, most of them don’t officially support windows 10 or 11. It’s really frustrating too, as most are really a simple bridge that connects to the machine to give instructions or receive data. They are not usually drivers, but send data over the network. An open format would suit better for security too, as all this old software will be pretty leaky.

hitmyspot ,

Do you know what community you’re commenting in, lol?

hitmyspot ,

Spotify is all music on the go. Certainly for albums or music you want to keep on your device, it’s the arrs, but for music, especially playlists, you listen to on the fly, Spotify is a better experience.

hitmyspot ,

Removing is an action, not an end result. Nothing was removed.

hitmyspot ,

Hence, try again, like the headline.

hitmyspot ,

Unless your email has 2fa?

Roddy Doyle. Written as mainly dialogue, but with fabulous world building. Many of his books were made into movies, but they are more well known in Ireland than elsewhere. The commitments found international success. Plot wise, they’re not ground breaking, it’s his creation of characters and tackling some tough subjects.

Zadie smith. Again, slice of life, but with more of a point.

Dan brown, but only for energising thriller mysteries.

hitmyspot ,

Climate change is also an imminent emergency. The conparison is apt. Funding was always the problem. If it was cheaper or same cost to be green, everyone already would be. Both are a threat. It just happens that a threat involving enrichment of entrenched companies in the military industrial complex is easier to approve than those portrayed as tree hugging hippies.

hitmyspot ,

Lol, that is the funniest,cleveredt block I’ve ever read, that didn’t devolve into rudeness. Kudos.

U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel (www.washingtonpost.com)

The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians....

Turning attempted elimination into elimination is worse. Trump is on the wrong side on this single issue too.

hitmyspot ,

The problem is Microsoft have abused it. Now they claim an update is for security, but instead it just reverts settings to promote their other products.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, but trust is required of users are not going to boot out. If it’s not opt out, that’s a risk in intself.

hitmyspot ,

They’re talking about the famous fountain.

Interesting that most of the top Mastodon instances are fed rested whereas most other software, they are defederated. I wonder if it is due to how they work. Madrid in can have discussion but it’s less focused on that. Lenny has more voting and so more likely to have a consensus that shows all views agreement not just the volume. So, Madrid in would be more susceptible to bad actors simplifying their view, yet the same is possible on all.

hitmyspot ,

Ok, let me rephrase to simplify.

Alternative medicine is unproven folk medicine.

Sometimes the idea is sound.

Studying outcomes of its use can legitimise it or show it is bunk.

Clove oil was studied. Eugenol being the active ingredient.

Clove oil is no longer used, medically, but eugenol is used in multiple dental medicines to have a proven pain relief effect.

It is now medicine.

Clove oil on its own does not have sufficient evidence to be useful. Eugenol built in to other medicines and restorativedoes.

That’s the progression from alternative medicine to medicine.

hitmyspot ,

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3702691/#:~:….

Look at paragraph 2

For FDA, you likely won’t find them as they are exepmt,as this listing for commonly used zinc oxide eugenol cobfirns.

www.accessdata.fda.gov/…/classification.cfm?id=EM…

hitmyspot ,

Yes, part of that evidence I was talking about. I providences the emmvidebce to show it is evidence based and the government link to show what you actually requested. Both combined shows your point is innacurate, even if food ibtentioned. Your link shows it is not useful in all the applications that alternative medicine proposes. Again, part of my point.

It is exempt is due to common usage and already proven safe and considered a standard part of drug and medicine armamentarium. It also negates your assertion that all medicines are listed. Patently untrue. Its also not a loophole.

Only medicine meeting the criteria are exempt and the link I provided is only in a formulation of zinc oxide and eugenol. Other formulations would need approval or be exempt under a different classification.

Clove oil is not a valid treatment in its own Neither is eugenol. However, it is incorporated into other medicines to improve their efficacy. Its use is reducing as despite its anti inflammatory effect it causes a reduction in bonding efficacy at the non emergency appointment later.

I’m not doing research. I know this, its my industry, I use it often and purposely avoid it often. I am not familiar with fda rules, but they are similar enough to classificiation and rules elsewhere to make it clear their intent and use.

You clearly have some grounding in science education. However, you obviously have no familiarity with the beurocracy of medicine approval or usage, nor are used to reading medical studies. I’ve had to make the same point, correctly, multiple times for you to see. Yet you still question the evidence.
