If you are interested in more about how mechanical watches work in general this is a pretty amazing set of animations: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/
Putting shifting controls on the screen was dumb for many reasons, but doesn't really cause a problem in this case - the cybertruck will disable the accelerator when you hit the brakes, accomplishing the same thing as…
How are those relevant to this discussion?
Id imagine the marginal cost is a lot lower than that though
It's also useful if you restrict it to only providing information verbatim (ex. A link to a cars specifications) vs actually trying to generatively answer questions. Then it becomes more of a search tool than actually…
For me at least I do all of my development on the command line, so it's just much easier to use the git CLI instead of switching between applications. And regardless, basically all the commands I run (moving between…
> only low-carbon in a marginal sense What's the issue with this? Cargo will always need to be shipped around so as long as the marginal impact is low that seems fine?
> In a statement on Wednesday, the GM unit said that it did the recall even though it determined that a similar crash with a risk of serious injury could happen again every 10m to 100m miles without the update. This…
If there is no limitation, why would anyone pay for the ebook though when they can just get it for free from the library indefinitely? I just don't get how this works from the authors side, are they supposed to just…
I don't really get how a DRM free library works. Based on the article at least it seems like being DRM-free means people can keep the book as long as they want? What's the difference between that, and just letting…
I think the Internet is more like electricity vs vinyl. In the US at least, how we transmit electricity has been fairly consistent for around 100 years - a toaster from the 20s will still work today in the same outlets.…
But they still aren't anywhere close to level three self driving (let alone level 5, which Elon promised). What's the point of self driving if you have to constantly monitor it?
That wouldn't work because the system relies on having a pressure differential across the membrane in order to function.
Obesity is a massive and growing health crisis, just ignoring the problem by pretending that it's somehow OK for the majority of people to be obese is absurd. The article seems to be claiming that the health issues from…
Sure, so similar to in the US, where if the company changes your contract you are eligible for unemployment if you refuse.
In the US this would probably be constructive dismissal, so similar to what would happen in Germany. And referring to slavery when talking about the current US laws seems somewhat irrelevant
So it sounds like in Germany, you can fire people to hire another 200 cheaper, you just have to compensate them for that firing. Just like in the US if you fire someone without cause, they get unemployment payments…
The form makes it very clear that signing it is totally optional, and still requires the hospital to provide a cost estimate.
The book that documentary is based on is one of my favorites, second only to the making of the atomic bomb.
I hate touch screens in cars, but this isn't a win for fans of physical controls, despite what a bunch of other commenters seem to think - they aren't adding any new physical buttons, just disabling the touch screen and…
It sounds like this is just a van fully owned and operated by an independent contractor though, not Amazon, so I don't really think it speaks to any kind of inefficiency within Amazon. Prime vans generally have graphics…
If a supplier changes locations I would definitely expect prices to change in future contracts. Of course the current contract shouldn't be changed if we had already agreed on a price for some number of units.
People making hundreds of thousands of dollars complain because they don't get to keep their insane salaries when moving to less competitive areas.
Those prices are not at all representative of what an average Canadian will be spending though, so probably not relevant to the overall trend. Very few Canadians are going to be spending $40 on cooking dinner for two…
But for big tech companies at least I don't think money is really a significant concern. It's probably better for them to pay 10x for an engineer if that engineer has twice the chance of being a very strong performer…
