As someone who is not American, $10,000!!!!!! That's hard to conceive where I live. We even have a specifically free ambulance service here.

The topic and content was genuinely interesting, but it read like an annoying LinkedIn promotional article with all the short punchy sentences.

We're using OpenClaw to do a massive number of fixes and improvements to our ERP. It takes Jira tickets, resolves them, and creates a GitHub PR, which is then reviewed by another A…

"make their own fork which nobody else is interested in because it is personalized to them" Isn't that literally how open-source works, and why there's so many Linux distros? Code …

Well luckily it turned out that they were all ne'er-do-wells so it's all good. Just like when the US used drones on Iraqi convoys and amazingly they were all Al-Qaeda sympathisers.…

This is what most people miss when they criticise UBI - for most people, it will be immediately spent, taxed, and put back into the economy. As long as the velocity is there, it's …

also Guestbooks and the email icon of the word 'email' rotating around a globe.

I am 100% convinced that the baby weight thing is because grandparents love to compare newborns with their own experiences, and they were on the cusp of the metric conversion in th…

That's only a post-9/11 requirement, so it's not really part of the 'traditional' banking system.

The thing I liked the most about XHTML was how it enforced strict notation. Elements had to be used in their pure form, and CSS was for all visual presentation. It really helped me…

I worked with a guy called 'Com' which is a reserved word in Active Directory. It causes chaos so apparently his AD name is always modified to be less offensive to the Microsoft go…

At one point, you could leave an open tag at the end of the HTML with the language attribute set to "javascript9.9" or something non-existent, and the JavaScript banner ads wouldn'…

To be more accurate - by removing subsidies, NZ farmers became more efficient and sell their products at the world price, which is quite often overseas. Subsidies and/or tarrifs al…

In NZ, it was had maybe 2 low-quality moments, but never froze and was in high-definition for the rest of the time.

Based on their endless meat wave attacks, I'm pretty sure we know what their "acceptable mitigations" are.

I have ordered lots of stuff off AliExpress and it's been a roughly 50% success rate. Some things were clearly low quality, one item was completely wrong, but the rest were surpris…

Also it's another point of failure. If (or when) the motor fails, then you could be facing in an extremely suboptimal direction and it might take more than a few days to fix.

If you are generating more power than your batteries can store, or you can use, then this is excess gain. If you're selling it back to the power company then this might not be a pr…

People (usually installers) also get hung up on having the correct angle for stationary panels. In winter the solar gain difference on 'correctly' angled panels vs just having them…

The newer models are much better than what I have. It's surprisingly quick off the lights, which is fun because it looks like a very ordinary SUV. It's quiet, the glass roof is nic…

I view it as an issue of best-practice password hygiene. Just because the stakes are low, and it's a hassle, doesn't mean you should skip it. The more you get used to implementing …

We have an MG ZS ev, and we've done 110,000km in 3 years. Battery capacity is at 93% which I think is pretty good, but I don't intend to be driving this for 30 years.

Apple Maps in New Zealand is really, really good. Travel estimates are nearly perfect. In smaller countries though, it's total rubbish. Samoa, travel guidance is nearly non-existen…

I always assumed that the NSA 'hardened' versions of products or operating systems were a careful mix of fixes for things they wanted to be protected against, while still letting s…
