Not sure if California is EU-lite or it has surpassed them, it sucks sometimes here, they are on a path to regulate and ruin everything.

This is pretty cool and useful. I actually might adapt it to aid me in tracking projects around my dirt bike, similar tracking events.

Because people get blinded by dogmatic ideologies that chastise them for going against and/or questioning any position held by given side.

It's all or nothing.

I've noticed this as well, past couple of years it has turned into more panel/ytuber focused, less about the actual projects showcased on the ground floor. Not to mention, it is pricing out many from attending.

I've been recently going this route, everything is static. If I can't host them on an S3 bucket, then I'm building it wrong.

Sites are way too bloated nowadays, a lot of the content being served can be static and cached.

This is the right attitude. The amount of people who's world crumbles when they get banned and heavily depend on its engagement and income is too high.

In terms of Bluesky/Threads, etc. When a platform's intrinsic value is that, "it's not the other platform", it won't last or will only track very niche and closed-off groups. What does Bluesky offer that is unique/different?

Federation, as the post mentioned, is something the average user doesn't care or is beyond their comprehension. Too much friction as it is implemented, the best way is to organically and transparently implement it, if it's even possible.

I use one for my Synology UPS with no issues, has saved it multiple times and is able to gracefully shutdown when switched to battery for x-minutes.

I agree. I now see both extremes(horseshoe) and in-between as much. While before it was heavily leaned towards the left.

This made my day. A lot of memories... thanks for sharing.

Can also include motorcyclists/cyclists, which aren't necessarily considered "athletes". Maybe "recreational use" might had been more apt.

Really wondering if this can be combined and standardized through ECE 22.06/SNELL/MIPS. ECE is probably the best bet for testing something like this, SNELL is too strict in its testing experimentation.

Many people here missing Carlin's point about "soft language". Think more on the examples of forcing oneself, either by choice or by social factors.

suicide -> "unalive" homeless -> "unhoused"

I absolutely hate these terms.

Absolute lunacy from this proposal. They well know the current timeline for phasing out ICE vehicles is actually not going that well and they want to further accelerate that timeline? That's just plain greedy, they know Tesla is dominating the EV market atm, this will hurt and slow down current manufactures.

We are already seeing Ford slowing the production for the lightning line because the demands is just not there, there is a huge gap in infrastructure to support the upcoming wave of EVs.

People are just very hesitant to jump the EV boat, and well justified. EV charging is a mess of apps, unreliable charging rates, and just general availability in non-metro areas.

I thought the inclusion of Pais' patents was more along the lines of, here is a patent related to our work, rather than we sourced tech from it.

Threads will be good for brands since they won't have to worry about controversial content, though eventually everything is going to be bland content if you are being censored to what Meta thinks is "appropriate". Though could be interesting if they pivot towards a more topics/community model.

The fact that this topic is so touchy, even in the tech/science circles which by far are the most "progressive", tells us that there is a lot of unresolved definitions that aren't talked about because of fearing to offend.
