I suspect he’s propped up against that tree for a good photo

If the US would pass a law shielding companies from lawsuits related to donated food, then this could become the norm

Well good news then! That law is set to be passed in just thirty years ago

This idea is a myth used to excuse immoral behaviour.

It could be argued that they are a willing variant of Reverse Centaur

Start with what a reverse centaur is. In automation theory, a “centaur” is a person who is assisted by a machine. You’re a human head being carried around on a tireless robot body. Driving a car makes you a centaur, and so does using autocomplete.

And obviously, a reverse centaur is a machine head on a human body, a person who is serving as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine.

That’s not a slur though, it’s generally sympathetic.

It would be nice if the government would stop exploiting the slow speed of the courts to keep hurting people blatantly unconstitutionally.

If you’re referring to You Can’t Waste Your Vote, that was by ChickenNation not FirstDog. It’s a common misattribution.

It’s not an entirely analog experience, though; a Slate smartphone app can manage settings, change drive mode, and provide range and charging info. But only when connected locally to the car—there’s no embedded modem, so forget about remote access. And the company says that while it may use data from the app to improve its products, it won’t sell that data.

That’s according to a new report from SAE International’s (and sometime Ars contributor) Roberto Baldwin. “We are building it around ownership value,” Slate said. “We collect data to make ownership better, not to turn the owner into the product. The app will collect data only when it directly contributes to enabling or improving a customer experience. Privacy is paramount. For Slate, privacy is not a compliance footnote. It is part of the product experience.”

“Customers should understand what is being shared, why it matters, and how it helps them own the vehicle with more confidence,” the company said. “That may include data needed to support account setup, device-to-vehicle connection, diagnostics, maintenance guidance, service support, charging context, OTA update status, customer support, and product improvement. Slate is being intentional about what the app can do and what data it collects. We would rather be precise and trusted than overpromise connected features or collect data without a clear customer benefit.”

Introduction of a smartphone app with phone home capability and a promise to only take data “with a clear customer benefit” is a far cry from both the headline and the original value proposition of the car.

Not one mention of consent. Not one mention of choice aside from the author’s assumption that you don’t always need the app (locking the ability to change driving modes behind it seems pretty significant).

This seems like a substantial blow against the already extremely niche market for the Slate, before even a single car has rolled off the line.

You have Drip listed only under iOS; but it’s available in Android too (Play store and F-Droid)

It’s fine for input, but Logseq “.md” files are only suitable for import back into Logseq (at least if they have any links)

Super is for my window manager.

Which I guess is kind of where copy paste live so I’m on board, barring semantic nitpicks

100%, thank you very much!

Currently “older cards” is GTX 10xx series and earlier

This is a deliberate choice made by Nvidia with respect to their proprietary drivers, and has nothing to do with the operating system.

Fun fact! The current dismal state of scientific publishing is largely attributable to Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell.

By the definitions on this very chart, traditional black tea should be “ingredient purist, preparation rebel” (you don’t boil tea)

First past the post inherently reinforcers a two party system as voting for a third party benefits the parties that you least want. That’s the spoiler effect.

Approval voting doesn’t have that problem, so alternatives can actually show up and be viable.

RCV (actually IRV) has less of a spoiler effect than FPTP but it still has a substantial “centre squeeze” effect as moderate candidates — with broad support but few first preference votes — get eliminated early.

There are much better voting systems that actually attempt to identify the Condorcet winner. The only advantage AV or IRV have over Condorcet methods is simplicity

Definitely regional in Australia. Drinking fountain gang here.

How close do you want it to be?

I’m a big fan of the OpenBook

“We can coordinate the next steps together.”

The reference to “next steps” is ominous because it’s not clear what they are.

What a dramatic platform to say nothing of substance on
