Since all TV’s are smart TV’s with an OS this means age verification to watch TV? I think that’s a message that will resonate with the average consumer on what is wrong with this bill

Because it’s the only way to break the cycle

Usually it means consulting provided by an outside vendor. So in this case I think they are saying the government hires a lot of services from other companies. Probably to augment their own work.

I prefer and recommend the very simple boglehead approach to investing. Simple 3 fund portfolio, focused on long term growth.

Lots of forums on their website, but basic idea is split your money into a healthy mix of total market, international, and some bonds. Focus on tax advantaged retirement accounts. Invest early and often.

What is IP triangulation?

No, his name is not cannon, it’s Eeyore. He’s a fictional character in the Winnie-the-Pooh universe, known for being depressed.

They are restricted. California has an insurance commissioner who has to approve any rate increases. It’s probably easier to stop insuring then to get the rates up to the profitability margin their risk models are suggesting are appropriate.

I am in fact stating that there is no proof that they do anything to reduce collusions or deaths. I stated in my first comment that such proof does not exist.

These cameras are only deployed to generate revenue. There is no scientific basis for improved safety.

It focused on the Arizona study because that was the only one out of the 35 that actually measured Motor Vehicle Collisions. The rest did not even attempt it in any controlled manner.

As stated, there are no meaningful studies that these cameras reduce accidents.

These cameras do nothing to improve safety. There is no meaningful scientific evidence that shows any difference improvement in safety.

Their only value is socioeconomic harm.

“after accounting for MVC increases in the control segment we found that neither camera placement nor removal had an independent impact on MVCs. In other words, speed cameras did not statistically contribute to an increase or decrease in the number of MVC.”

You can have it all with one brokerage in one fund and still be diversified. Suggest reading up on the 3 fund portfolio or boggle head.

S&P 500 is top 500 US companies. Many folks consider that diverse. You can also probably find a US Total Market fund. That will be even more diverse as it will include small and mid size companies in addition to the top 500.

Alternatively, even more diverse would be a Total Market fund. These typically include international companies, and represent the biggest diversification you can get.

No need to worry about Vanguard versus Schwab . The underlying stocks of the fund is what matters.

California has one of these solar thermal towers. Quite a spectacle as you drive by on the way back from Vegas.

Interestingly this one does not store energy for 24/7 operations like the one in China. As they are both smolten salt based, not sure why

This one actually does need heathcliff to be humorous. Appreciate all your work in posting these!

For the record I did not downvote.

But I capitulate on your point. It would be great if every piece of software was written with resilience and uptime in mind.

As a former sysadmin that sounds like a dream. But I don’t think I have ever seen that with any mainstream program that I’ve had responsibility for. Does that mean all those programs were bad? I don’t think so. We wouldn’t need sysadmins if all programs were written the way you describe.

Programs can be written to auto rotate their logs, compact and reindex their db’s. Using browser updates as an example, they can even safely auto update and revert back on failure.

How many programs actually do these things? My experience is next to 0. But I wouldn’t call them all bad or poorly written programs.

No. Every good software program should write at least logs to disk. Every good database writes to disk. Add a new post, db will commit to the db and the db will grow in size.

Name any decent sized program where new content is added and I guarantee it writes to disk and will fail eventually if not maintained.

Don’t feel too bad, not only is 30 an arbitrary number, he doesn’t account for folks too young to understand something. I don’t think a 2 day old baby learning about the mentos thing should count. So either it’s more than 10,000 people per day or the age should probably stretch out to 60 or maybe even 75.

Of corse there are also the people like me who are forgetful and may not remember they heard something!

Did you build this box? Could be cpu thermal paste not properly applied.

Shame the guy couldn’t be bothered to do a short interview with a writer from a well known tech magazine. Most small businesses CEOs would jump at the chance. Or at least they should.

I would suggest that the hide read post button work like a toggle. Tap onece and hide read post. Tap again and unhide. Tap a 3rd time and hide read posts again, including any newly read ones.

Would just like to pile on my thanks as well. Every time I find something missing, it seems the next update has it. Truly awesome!
