No shit, go see a decent therapist. This is literally the core of what they do as a profession. If they aren't helpful, just want to babble about the weather for 45 minutes, whatev…

Most of these managers support some form of 2fa. I use a yubikey with mine such that if my master password is compromised someone would still need to obtain my security key. You ca…

The pilot likely heard "I think 24E is acting suspiciously, he tried to mess with the entertainment system, can we boot him?" and responded by saying "yeah go for it" before resumi…

The way it works is if a flight attendant feels a passenger is somehow a risk they will notify the captain who has the authority to boot them. The captain has a locked door to hide…

We're talking about two different things: the cause of mental health issues and the treatment of mental health issues. The US is pretty modern at treating them and pretty outstandi…

Oh boy... Here's a good one: the FAA categorically prevents any pilots from taking any psychiatric medication (minor caveats but the point holds in practice), in particular for dep…

Absolutely, it's a complex game. The easiest way to clean it up significantly is to better tax industry such that energy, resource usage, and transportation are all represented in …

Seconded, though I'd add that with the current concerns about climate change and resource utilization, we need to think a bit more about product lifecycle and this is a reasonable …

On average they didn't (oh no, that repair costs more than the "car is worth" as if that's a metric that actually means anything) but it was far easier to keep one running indefini…

Why is everyone worked up about the software? The hardware is where all the time and effort is and Prusa just hasn't been doing much there. They could be using ball bearing rails o…

They don't qualify for social security but are paying into it and other than that there aren't any real social safety nets in this country anyway so I still do not understand this …

Tell me about all the illegals that took your job, all the shops of yours that have been lifted and all the drugs you have been dealt.

I think it's a case of people only caring about their specific short term individual interests in the narrowest way possible. They're not really a rational thing in any other domai…

I really wish I could sit on one of these decision meetings just so I could understand how the sausage is made. There's an entire class of people out there running the world yet op…

Will this ever die? None of the societies that people point and scream about were actually communist in any real sense. They were just random flavors of authoritarianism wrapped in…

https://youtu.be/KXXGS3MGCro?t=118 It's a sort of replayable cutscene that happens a couple times in the game where you can wander through it. The noteworthy bit is it's rendered o…

Is there any relation between this class of rendering techniques and the way the BD scenes in Cyberpunk 2077 were created? The behavior of the volume and the "voxels" seem eerily s…

META: Why is this not on the front page? It has more points than almost every other story and less time than most.

If we're gonna just arbitrarily name enshitified companies I propose the following instead: Facebook Ubisoft Chrysler Kroger Enron Verizon Exxon Reddit YouTube TikTok Twitter HP In…

What were you traveling with that they detected?

I mean, we could structure our society so that everything wasn't arbitrarily gated but that would be gasp socialism. Also, Telegram and Signal are already open and can be bridged f…

They have a lot more than they're giving. Almost everything so far has been old models that were already replaced

Would you recommend making the transition if it was available? I've been eyeing a lateral move from optical control/processing software into a sort of full stack rf role. Nobody is…

Yeah the rfsocs are popular because they're nuts. From a defense pov being able to be that frequency agile is really a big deal.

Not OP but just going off the numbers, the US has been contributing more military aid than all other countries combined. I'm glad everyone is supporting them but a bunch of the Eur…
