I feel like perhaps this is a bit too nuanced of a critique. While I do see what you are saying on many images of bicycles, there are also many that that I do not see it on. Close to half of them, in a quick Google image search, have forks appear straight and the axle is dead center on the ends of them. If there is something there, I am not seeing it even when trying to specifically look for it.

I'll also note that, using a piece of paper as a straight edge against my screen, there is a very slight forward curve on the low and a bit more on the high responses. Medium does appear to be perfectly straight.

Cool idea, horrible dataset. Its limited to things in Wikidata rather than using OSM, and it must have an article on Wikipedia in English to count so I am sure it is missing just based on that. And somehow it misses many castles (and other categories it includes) which do meet those requirements.

There is no definition of what they use to categorize anything either. And it clearly isn't applied consistently. There is a Château category and yet many things with Château in their name are tagged as castles.

The map has a category for fortresses too. Which are included in its total count of "castles". So it's seems reasonable to bring them up.

Probably: Applicant Tracking System. Used for tracking the people who apply to each of your openings, and the hiring workflow. Where this would likely be used to neck down all the applicants before a person actually looks at them to make judgement calls on who to move forward in the process.

It definitely looks like a cool app, and I was excited to test it out, but I don't have a Mac. If you ever hit the point where a rewrite makes sense, it would be awesome as a universal app.

A comment on one of the threads, when a random person tried to have copilot change something, said that copilot will not respond to anyone without write access to the repo. I would assume that bot doesn't have write access, so copilot just ignores them.

I would imagine you could launch a new rack, dump the old one, and connect the new one to the existing solar / cooling array. Hopefully with some sort of re-entry and recycling plan for the old one. The sheer size the arrays are going to need to be feel like they are going to be the more important part of it.

Thanks. I always enjoy when geospatial topics show up on here. My background it geo, but unfortunately I have slowly drifted away. Geohash is about where I left off in the same general realm of concepts, so S2 / H3 are essentially new to me as well.

Is it primarily useful just for data visualization? Would there be an potential performance benefits for something like searching a database for nearby data?

But how much of that is because they know it will come to streaming soon for free? I feel like the 'if the movie is not streaming, they just don't watch it' mentality was driven by everything being put on streaming. I am not the average consumer, so I could definitely be off base, but I feel like people were more willing to go to see a movie in theaters when they knew it would be months before they would be able to see it if they didn't. Now it can be available for streaming within weeks, many times included with the subscription you already have. Hard to justify $20 per person to go see something in a theater when you can all see it a month later included in your $15 subscription.

So in my case they are momentary voltage drops. It can accept 81-145V and will throw an error and turn off outside of that. It used to happen a lot, but there have been recent improvements, and it has only happened once in the last couple months.

And yeah, configuring priority by plug is basically how my current system works. These ones turn off at 50%, these ones at 25% and this one goes all the way until the end. As long as there is a plan to do something along those lines, that fits the use case.

An important feature for me would be 3rd party replacement batteries. Ideally I want to be able to go up to Batteries+ / Interstate Battery / whatever local battery place and pick up a replacement. All my current UPSs are Lead Acid and I can just go up the street and get a new one. If its using something like a standard deep cycle marine battery that I can pull out and swap for a new one, then I would be interested. If its totally proprietary and I have to rely on you still making them in 5-10 years when I need a new one, then it is far less interesting.

And yeah, there are the 4 outlets on the main device. I was referring to the accessories on the Tech Specs page. I know they aren't out yet. Just expressing interest in more plugs. Something with 3 doesn't really do much for me. I have something like 8-10 plugs here at my desk. And a similar amount in the living room. One with 3 plugs on it only nets you 2 additional plugs. It would be a huge mess.

I definitely like it. I experience regular outages and have a whole home generator because of it. But that takes time and isn't cleat. So this is basically how I already have everything set up, with ~6 UPSs scattered around. And I have looked at the whole home systems to get away from that. But the mesh with smart features is definitely interesting.

Does it have any power cleaning functionality? I have occasional issues with voltage drop and it and confuses some of my stuff. The input V is out of range and it cannot get it back up to 120V so it ends up just turning off to avoid passing through to the equipment.

And how about any automatic load shedding? I have some which will start turning off outlets based on percent battery left, to power the most important stuff longer.

You also mention moving past the basic lead acid UPS. I can't seem to find it anywhere, are you not using lead acid batteries? Or what are you using? Will I be able to buy a replacement battery up the street at the battery store like I can my current UPSs? Or will I be locked in to buying replacements from you?

Also looks like you have Smart Outlet Strips mentioned, which are only 3 outlets. Any plans for something more substantial? Like 12s? Most places I have UPSs there are many things plugged in and a single 12 would be preferable over multiple.

I don't think the post says privilege depends on whether the communication involves questions. I read it as saying that privilege exists so you can seek counsel. And, in their opinion, seeking counsel should always involve asking questions. Which seems reasonable to me. I am struggling to think of a situation where someone initiating contact with a lawyer wouldn't need, or at least want, to ask any questions. Are there situations where that is not the case?

I have tried various ways to deal with organizing thoughts and tasks, and always end up spending too much time trying to optimize and make the system better when I do it in a digital way. For me, it seems like it is better to just disconnect from the electronics and do it by hand.
