One thing that wasn't clear to me until recently (and maybe isn't widely known) is that the battery degradation is just corrosion.

I can't tell if this engineering or just autocomplete that is mostly helpful, sometimes.

Excellent article, but it still seems like a dubious practice to me

Your description of the scenario does not seem to be accurate. He is being gifted a new class of stock so that he does not need to relinquish control of the company for no apparent good reason. I'm indirectly a shareholder of this company through the major stock index inclusion, and I have not been similarly been gifted the same. I hope he pays his CA taxes fairly and as shareholders we are made whole by this chicanery.

I hope not. This looks like a nightmare world constrained only by basic manufacturing.

With the plugin solar I can imagine people in single family residential installing them on both sides of fences and gates to get an around the day benefit.

Also, with the price of solar panels decreasing below most (wood?) building materials with way higher durability, no paint required, why wouldn't it replace most sun facing siding applications aside from being "ugly".

I haven't tried to the web app part but I've tried Toasty. The API seemed to be a little simpler and nicer to use than SeaORM for me. Here are a few things I liked in Toasty:

- In SQLite UUIDs are default stored as compact blobs instead of inefficient varchar/text (SeaORM)

- Timestamps were easier via jiff instead of chrono (SeaORM)

- Model structs use the actual name of the $table instead of being named like $tablemodule.(Model|ActiveModel) (SeaORM) they are just $Table. This makes writing libraries a little simpler that need to use entity struct's from two separate modules/crates otherwise you get a name collision on Model/ActiveModel and need to do alias imports.

- There's an API to fetch related data to a query similar to Django ORM. IIRC this is missing from SeaORM

- The query expression language doesn't cover as much of SQL as SeaORM but seems to be enough for most web apps.

- I didn't like how the migration system works. I would skip that part of the library

It's a distinct blue/red state issue. Blue states go out of their way to register as many of their residents as possible and allow same day registration.

The red states, Republicans use it as a tool to reduce participation of urban, non-white voters and reduce overall participation. They don't consider systematic, passive voter suppression techniques to be voter fraud.

Arbitration can be more efficient, but both parties should have an option to choose it, a direct settlement or public court. The average consumer is denied the choice by using these everyday services that have non-negotiable contracts.

I don't believe it is (someone who knows two languages isn't remarkable, someone who can teach others isn't remarkable), but there should probably be a visa for that if we need it. I personally don't believe even a lot of the software/IT industry jobs merit H1Bs.

They work abroad under the respective country's work visa. H1B is US specific, specific visa. The US has plenty of other work visas.
