Do you think it could also be used to target immigrants, like your co-founder is doing?

This is so absurd that I wonder if it's a bad translation from another language? There's absolutely zero context on the page as to why that name is what it is.
Obviously Canada doesn't have the insolation of California, but look at the impact that batteries are having on the usability of solar energy. Why aren't we doing this instead of building more pipelines?

I've been a @fastmail@mastodon.social customer for a long time because I like how they don't mess with the product - it's simple, reliable email and calendar.
They just rolled out AI integration, but instead of baking it into the app like everybody else, they made an MCP server so that those who want to can plug in their AI of choice, while the rest of us get to enjoy AI-free email. Respect!

The ol' Ronald D. Moore series arc (Battlestar Galactica was the same way):
Season 1: Wow this is the best series ever!
Season 2: This doesn't go quite as hard, but it's still good!
Season 3+: Did they fire all the writers and replace them with ideas pulled out of a hat?
If social meia and chatbots are so detrimental to kids that they need to be made illegal, why are they OK for adults?

True, but I'd take this as a signal that the shell and cron should be more user-friendly.

On the bright side I guess it proves that the US have made progress since the case you outlined - the acceptability of the two words has reversed.

Sure, but China is equally dependent on imports in other sectors. Everybody has some kind of sword of Damocles over their head (and that's a good thing, it makes wars more costly and detrimental)
When the AI bubble pops and causes a recession, there's going to be a bloodbath.

I have to wonder what the idea was here... Is this a plumbing equivalent to equal-length runners for exhaust manifolds?

The link doesn't work for me. Too much traffic maybe?
Possibly the best court decision of all time RE a frivolous claim from a romantasy author.
"Each [novel] is about 650 pages long, but that number is highly misleading because, with each successive volume, the print and the margins on each page get smaller and the line spacing gets closer. When Wolff’s works are normed for changes in print and margin sizes, they easily exceed 3000 pages – which means the Court has read upwards of 6000 pages of romantasy fiction."

Thanks for the background, I don't know much about pools! I was mostly wondering about the length of the pipes - this seems very inefficient. In combustion engines there's an advantage to having each cylinder's exhaust runner be the exact same length, which results in some wacky looking manifolds - but I assume there's no reason to do that with water...

I"m not sure I understand your question.
I think it's a safe assumption that people use AI instead because it's easier and/or more familiar, since it's conversational rather than requiring they learn arcane runes. If something is already easy to do, there's no reason to use AI.

So I looked it up, and the cutoff for millennials is 1996. Thirty-year-olds are the youngest millennials and the oldest Gen Z turn 30 next year. The oldest millennials turn 50 in 5 years.

Pretty ridiculous methodology, but the outcome confirms my priors, so I like it.
Folks with a business email - is anyone else getting hammered with spam offers to buy their business? I've been getting 4-5 a day for the last week or so.

Instead of "risk" I prefer to think of it as "hubris", the mistaken belief that one can consistently outperform the market.

Our parrot does this with food bowls (one on the side of the cage for seeds, and one near the bottom for messier stuff like fruit). He'll always check the upper one first even if he sees us put something in the other, then he'll climb down. Maybe he thinks it's like Portal.

I like this in theory but wonder how unwieldy it would be in practice. Is there an existing project that follows that methodology? I can't think of any - very large ones have lots of contributors but they tend to be "tiered", and small projects tend to be one person's focus. Hardware would be even more difficult due to geographic factors.
