Depends on the deponent.

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, is on the record saying he is 'not often happy.' Somehow I doubt he'd give up half his wealth to double his happiness, though that's just a guess based on his other obvious character flaws ;)

Thank you for putting OpenBubbles on my radar. I had never heard of it, and within 30 minutes I was able to have it up and running on my daily driver. Win 11 is now much more enjoyable without having to look at my phone constantly. I can do group chats, facetime, etc, and my phone doesn't need to be anywhere near me. Donated some money via their site. Truly awesome.

an LLM tells me there is no evidence that Bernard Shaw ever said any such thing :)

What were you getting for $30/month from Wyze? We have a package that is a flat $99 per year for a dozen cameras (plus however many more we want to add for no additional cost), unlimited recording, etc.

Thank you for this. Seems like a great utility. I am just starting to play with the configuration, but was wondering if this app is sending my data anywhere, or if all the 'computer vision' is being performed locally. If the latter, I can use it!

Bonus points if you know how to alter the location of hint labels instead of the targets that the hints point to. I've found the controls for putting the targets essentially wherever I like, but the hint locations don't seem to be as customizable?

Really? I guess it likely depends on what age they die at. If you're a 40-year-old guy with a wife and 2 teenagers, and you are dying from cancer, your family is probably going to be left in a much more precarious situation financially if you don't have a large life insurance policy, or a large amount of savings, than if you were a 75-year-old guy who dies with two adult-children, a paid-off house, car, and a wife that receives social security benefits. If you are the 40-year-old, I think you'd be feeling pretty lousy about leaving your family to fend for itself without your financial help going forward. If you're the latter, you know everything is as stable as can be.

Piggybacking on your point about the general public: historically something like 25 to 30 percent of people don't even know who the Vice President of the United States is...and this goes back to at least the 70s. Simply asking someone if they know who Snowden is doesn't really prove much. What percentage of people will just lie and say they know?

"All actors are locally rational."

About those automated drinks at McDonalds...when I order mine with 'no ice,' the machine is apparently incapable of filling the cup with the additional amount of coke that would normally be displaced by ice. It will simply fill the cup just 2/3 of the way. They seem to have realized this though, but instead of increasing the volume of coke dispensed, the machine drops ANOTHER cup which the employee is supposed to use to fill the actual cup to the top. The employees only do this half the time, however, which makes the entire process even more maddening. Somehow neither man, nor machine, can get a no-ice drink right at McDonalds.

...and imagine if the moonlighting software devs were only getting paid what the warehouse workers were receiving, instead of their normal developer pay.. the work becomes a lot "harder" / more thankless when your pay is 1/3 or 1/4 as much.
