Is it just grading and parental access?

The relay clicking is a feature so you can tell the brightness audibly :)

Contactors are built to run giant industrial motors for years, nevermind my little 1/4hp pump.

The way I built it lets my mother bypass it by unplugging the pump from the control box and plugging it right into the wall outlet.

So, hopefully it lasts years. If it doesnt, anyone can bypass it

whenever i submit a ticket (need hardware, problem with software, access, etc etc) I'm supposed to know what business unit im submitting to. There are 63 last time I checked. Some go to global IT. some go to local IT. some go to to procurement, etc etc. There's no resources on how to select the right one

I just guess and there is a dedicated person on every team who reassigns tickets to the right business unit.

nightmare.

an llm that parses my request and auto-populates in the back end would be cracker jack

And it's NYC which has all sorts of people, many of which you may not want to be approached by.

If the juicebar gets tagged, then the people working there may start interacting with the friend in a way she may not appreciate.

Sending out life specifics, even if your not famous or have a stalker can be detrimental. And, it wasn't the friend's choice either. So, the original poster may loose a friend in exchange for likes on X.

It's a thing.

I, personally, don't think I've ever trusted anyone (parents included) enough to let them track me. I wouldn't feel safer. But maybe some people have good and healthy relationships with their parents (not that forcing your child to be tracked is healthy, but if your child chooses to have that safeguard...).

I didn't see it in the article nor the 2025 study https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-025-01578-w

Additionally, the article points to Spain and Lake Constance in the Alps exhibiting similar effects.

...why?

Some of the sites collect credit card information. Wouldn't they have a 'contact us' or some other legal identity information required for collecting and charging cc's?

Other than looking at security.txt what else have they tried? did they try programmatically checking for a 'contact us'? or the old trick of emailing 'webmaster@domain.com' or 'admin@domain.com'? did I miss those details in the article?

Maybe things have changed in the past 10 years, but it was a MASSIVE deal if a website ended up on some site claiming it has malware. Like, contract-ending, people-getting-fired, 10s of thousands of dollars in lawyer fees kinda deal.

I don't think 'it's hard' is a good excuse to ignore responsible disclosure

If you were lucky, there was a tutorial how to do X. But requires tool Y. Where do you get Y? Here it is on some apache indexed site! Oh, I just installed Sp0rk3h. Well, time to reformat and reinstall Windows XP. Good thing I partitioned my 40gB HDD

The learning curve for Photoshop 7, when there are 0 resources was pretty tough. I remember how proud I was when I figured out how to make an animated gif. Hammer editor (Was it called Hammer? to make maps for Half-Life engine games like Counter-Strike), There was an editor for creating an archive of images. was it a .WAD archive?

That kind of self-directed learning without hand-holding, I think, is not a bad thing

Instead of a highly structured engineering process it's more like a gardening process of figuring out what works, what doesn't, what the Business actually wants vs what their requirements were

So more debt because there's more code but it's easier and simpler to change that debt. And in 3 years the product is EOL so shrugs

Reading AI generated code or blog posts you have to be extra dubious. AI will lie, and the human who prompted may or may not have vetted that information. The contents could be gold as easily as it could be sand.

For things that I need correct: I research on sources pre-2022. For things that don't really matter: I prompt AI and iterate.

Marvel Movies, John Wick, Robert Eggers films, To Live and Die In LA, Streets of Fire, American Psycho, The Last Temptation of Christ, he was unforgettable in The Life Aquatic, and Wild at Heart!

The directors he's worked with: Robert Eggers, Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, John Waters, William Friedkin, David Cronenberg, Sam Raimi... who am i forgetting?

edit: Yorgos Lanthimos!

What an incredible career; I think he spends a lot of time in Italy when he's not filming now

Most of my free time was spent on the necessities.

Moving to SF and embracing that lifestyle (being able to afford that lifestyle...) freed me up for the pursuit of happiness.

I look at government the same way: public service should assume some of the burdens for the citizenry. utilities should be one of those things assumed by the state, paid for by taxes. The administration of which has a goal of driving down costs for customers, NOT for increasing profit

It was really strange. The author seemed to be shocked at (then) Facebook's culture of not getting involved in politics. The author was a part of the effort to convince zuck to be more politically involved. Getting him to meet with heads of state, starting with a junta responsible for atrocities.

In full disclaimer, I didn't finish the book. But it was shocking to me what the author was admitting to. It's like the scene in The Big Short where Steve Carell asks "Why are they confessing?" to which the answer was "They're not; they're bragging"

is it just 'Hire the right people'?
