Ah, but you’re calculating the area, so it would be length * width, not just multiplying by 2.

So you’re looking at 25 at the bottom and 49 at the top, making your average 37 per layer.

Not sure where you’d land at 12 nuts per layer on average. If you go off 5 nuts “wide” as your diameter you’d end up with at least 20 nuts at the bottom layer (area = π(5/2)² = 19.6).

I don’t know the logistics behind some of these giveaways, but it doesn’t have to mean that the devs are giving up their revenue. It could be gog just fronting the “cost”, no?

The URL is direct to gog tho? Unless you mean you didn’t recognize gog as a reputable website

I have never heard the phrase “runs on the edge”, and the article uses some form of it a half dozen times.

My only results for “edge devices” refer to networking. Is that what they’re trying to say?

I think my sticking point is that it’s not 30 of your coins, necessarily. This is probably where I’m going wrong, but I might only have 100 coins, but there’s a multitude of people that have 1,000 coins, and some still that have 10,000 coins.

I feel like I’m muddling up production/living standards and just plain wealth, but not every individual would need to give 30%. There would be a total amount equaling 30% that is re-allocated.

That is not my interpretation on the paper. It’s not taking 30% and spreading it. It’s we only ever needed to be making 30% of our total being reasonably distributed for everyone to reach those standards.

“Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use, leaving a substantial surplus for additional consumption, public luxury, scientific advancement, and other social investments.”

That is definitely not what is presented in what you quoted.

Out of our current productive capabilities (how much money is “created” if you want), we would only need 30% of it to get 8.5 billion people to a “decent living standard”.

That isnt a 30% reduction, it’s only needing to make 30% of what we already are doing.

How would you go about using a different subdomain without something like a reverse proxy? Heck, in my head that’s almost the only reason I use a reverse proxy

Just because I’m curious, is the fact that this is a “risky gamble” concerning to you? Or that a lawsuit such as this is expected to be drawn out, likely putting a large deterrent on less affluent victims from seeking justice?

In regards to your apple mouse example, surely it’s relevant to know how long the charging process is. The hangups I would have are when the interruption happens, how quickly is it resolved, similar to your points about the firmware on the grill.

If it takes 30 seconds to recharge to a point of usability, fine, no real harm. But if it takes 10-20 minutes to get to a usable state, then we have an issue.

A related scenario is if the Nintendo switch drains completely of battery; even plugging it into a dock and trying to play docked, you still have to wait upwards of 20 minutes to give it enough juice to boot back up.

By the looks of it, it’s 30% to NYC, 30% to Texas, and 30% to California. So 10% for literally everywhere else in the US. That’s gotta be close, right?

Addendum:

They were too young and a bunch were sick, they were forced to get older puppies, who then also got sick.

They fucked up, got told they fucked up, then fucked up again.

I got that same impression. Like this isn’t a matter of belief, it’s whether or not people are rejecting facts.

10k hours of actual drinking fluids seems pretty absurd, to be honest. Like I’ll throw out random numbers of 30 seconds to drink 8 oz of water. That means to make 10k hours you’d have drank 9.6 million oz of fluids.

That’s 75k gallons. That seems a bit excessive.

Hm. I’d be interested in seeing anything backing that up. You’ve just broadly stated that “ineffective” tax policies don’t work well, and I feel that is sorta in the name. Is there any line of reasoning that would make “wealth taxes” ineffective?

People who have been in a career for a long time often have no fucking clue what they’re doing.

Also related, there is rarely a perfect way to accomplish something. People talk about being cogs in a wheel, but that’s pretty insincere when each cog is shaped differently. The way one might approach a task will nearly always be different, and that is pretty liberating, for me.

I don’t know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of “other” repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I’m not smart enough to know about.

Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?

EDIT: I’m realizing that I didn’t really clarify the distinction of “should” vs “does”. I recognize that a huge amount of right to repair bullshit comes from companies being intentionally obtuse/greedy. What I meant to question was whether these restrictions on serviceability actually have merit, or if it’s strictly enshittification being brought into the auto world.

I thought being religiously motivated also would qualify as a hate crime? Or is the implication that one’s religion is also immutable?
