But you can also respond to a $1.70 legal notice with your own $1.70 legal notice. I think this benefit skews towards the individual, as large corporations and organizations will have attorneys on retainer to churn out these types of letters, so the nominal cost for them is pretty low. Hiring an attorney to write one letter is comparatively expensive for an individual.

My educated guess is that, at some point, in order to get promoted further you had to take a manager position. This means you have people who might be a good engineer or support rep but not great managers filling those roles. You wind up with managers promoting other managers, not based on their skill in management, but on how well they cover for each other, and your company ends up looking more like feudal England than a team trying to make products.

For the heads up, I'll probably hold off a bit then.

I've been doing this for years. I think the last full price game I've bought is Unreal 2004, or maybe Morrowind GOTY edition. Since then, I picked up the special edition of Oblivion for half off initial retail, and ditto Skyrim. Though I acquired an XBox One for my son from a relative who didn't need it any more, I picked up a 360 with two dozen games from an estate sale for $50. My daughter loves the old Kinect games - she plays them with her friends all the time.

That being said I might spring for the new remastered version of Oblivion if it looks significantly better than the heavily gfx-modded version I played a few years ago.

When I was in elementary school, there was one kid on Ritalin. Everyone knew who it was, everyone knew when he wasn't on his medication, as he literally could not sit still for more than a minute when he was off of it. Fast forward a decade or so, and I was talking to my fifth grade teacher after bumping in to him at a store, and he mentioned how nearly a third of the class was on Ritalin now. By his admittedly non-professional estimation (though he observes students every single day of his job) a couple of students really needed it, and the rest were now overly hyper, as they were people with regular brain chemistries whom were essentially now on speed during class.

The Democratic controlled state legislature and governor tripled the registration fee for EVs in my state. Yay!

Everyone has an AI accelerator chip. NVidia's secret sauce is CUDA, which has been stable for nearly 20 years. How much manpower is a large organization going to invest in writing new tensor kernels for some new chip that might have it's API blown away every other dev cycle? This is the main reason AMD and Intel are playing catchup in the AI space. Though they both had hardware to compete with nVidia in the GPGPU space, their APIs have been garbage until fairly recently.

The only competition their cordless vacuums have are other similarly expensive vacuums from Samsung and LG. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F... Also, their uprights, while not usually being the best vacuums overall (usually Miele get that spot, at similarly high prices) excel at transitioning from solid floors to carpet. Generally they are recommended for homes with a lot of mixed surfaces. Source: We bought a new vacuum last year (not a Dyson) and I did extensive research for two weeks before settling on a Riccar.

What are you on about?

The amateur radio group my son belongs to set up a radio rig at a local magnet school to talk to the IIS. They got to ask Mr. Petit (KD5MDT) a question, which was really cool. The students were mainly amazed watching the home-built antenna track the IIS, as it orbits so fast you can see the antenna moving. It also gives you a cool visual indicator on how much time you have to talk, which isn't a lot.

Do you know how many intelligence agencies the federal government has? They all probably have their own hacking tools. They all probably duplicate-buy a lot of them. Nobody shares anything.

It's interesting that they specifically brought up broadcasting as the contrast to interpersonal communications. The only reason there were regulations on broadcast mediums was that it was a limited resource. There were only so many radio stations and so many TV stations available, so you had to be operated as a "public good," whatever that meant to whomever was in charge at the time.

Newspapers did not have this level of regulation. If you viewed the early internet as personal newspaper publishing, the regulations were about on par.

Why the government would be interested in regulating the ethical ramifications of news print is beyond me, and runs immediately afoul of the first amendment.
