Can't you trivially reframe the initial purchase as being subsidized by that license? Your $200 smart knife sharpener would be $300 if it weren't recording audio 24/7 (for VAD, surely!)
What you're describing isn't insurance. There's nothing wrong with that and maybe (probably) its better than what the US has today, but if it claims to be insurance than it must be allowing the insurer to consider the risk of each policy it writes.
I have one of these. The detergent gizmo is a hard plastic shell with an interesting shape, powdered detergent inside, and a plastic film cover that looks like it’s heat-sealed on. It contains no electronics whatsoever. You can refill it, and the only limitation is that it’s kind of awkward to open, fill, and re-seal. The easiest way IMO is to cut a large flap in the hard plastic on the sides, then tape it down after refilling. It works fine.
Also, the Miele powdered detergent, in my personal opinion, sucks. And it leaves some residue behind. Yuck.
I bet the assholes responsible for shutdown would solve the problem in an instant if they were to start losing money. But they are of course shielded from harm done to the rest of the population.
He said a lot of things that are not backed up by the study he shared but didn't link, where powders clearly underperform pods.
At the end of the day, it'd have been much better for this community if we could have just gained access to a proper study comparing different cleaning options and learn from it instead of watching a 40 minutes video that doesn't say much and doesn't link to the study which is briefly mentioned there.
I've really disliked Reddit's auto-translation. I'm bilingual (English & Japanese) and when I search for things only to get an auto-translated reddit thread it really is bizarre. The references, flow of the conversation, etc. are all just off and it feels weird.
Some of the most interesting projects here have the worst installation stories.It's sort of tilting at windmills to not acknowledge that people are going to mostly install through package managers for their platform by advertising it as such. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with building from source. On the contrary, I think it's fantastic as many targets are supported here as there are! I think it's a shame more people aren't discovering them is all.
The global trend might not reverse, but surely the people in those cultures are going to push back on low quality content and "the market will sort it out", right? For example, Mistral is has a clear interest in being the "most native-French-speaking LLM", and with that expertise they could also grow to other languages where English-native LLMs are poorly received.
That's simple though. For insurance the line is drawn at how expensive it will likely be for a private company to insure you over the course of your policy.
It doesn't matter if someone intended for a decision to lead to higher risk, the only question at the point of signing an insurance policy is how risky that private company views the policy.
The whole insurance debate often feels misplaced. Many people simply don't want healthcare to depend on an insurance system. And I get that, I also would rather people be able to get the care they need regardless of their individual risk.
As long as we have anything claiming to be insurance that simply isn't how the system works. If the game is insurance the insurer should be able to consider individual risk. If we don't want that, build a system that isn't dependent on an insurance scheme at all.
as someone who's gone down the rabbit hole of dishwasher home repair, I've created more problems than I've solved. I agree that maintenance is important, but when you get into replacing the seals and gaskets that can result in water flooding into your kitchen, i decided recently to draw a line. I'm now the proud owner of some fancy leak detection / moisture detection IOS products as a result. (and yes I'm aware there are better, low tech solutions like the "frog" on the market, but I chose to torture myself instead)
I am skeptical of this claim because in the 1700s the urban population would have been minimal compared to what it is today. A large majority of people were employed on farms.
There's more to the video than just that. For example: you should run your hot water tap before turning on your dishwasher, and you should experiment with the dishwasher settings, because they can make a big difference.
Without any specific implementation of a constraint it certainly can happen, although I'm not totally sure that it's something to be concerned about in terms of a DOS as much as a nuisance when writing code with a bug in it; if you're including malicious code, there's probably much worse things it could do if it actually builds properly instead of just spinning indefinitely.
Rust's macros are recursive intentionally, and the compiler implements a recursion limit that IIRC defaults to 64, at which point it will error out and mention that you need to increase it with an attribute in the code if you need it to be higher. This isn't just for macros though, as I've seen it get triggered before with the compiler attempting to resolve deeply nested generics, so it seems plausible to me that C compilers might already have some sort of internal check for this. At the very least, C++ templates certainly can get pretty deeply nested, and given that the major C compilers are pretty closely related to their C++ counterparts, maybe this is something that exists in the shared part of the compiler logic.
Surprising but unsurprising… nobody wants to “just” be happy. I’d go as far as to say most aren’t prioritizing being happy, even if they think they are.
A lot of people want to have kids. Is this because they want to be happy? Is buying a house about seeking happiness? Is following a religion and going to place of prayer about happiness? Is the author writing this article to be happy? Is reading Hacker News going to make you happy?
If happiness is all that matters, there's far easier ways to be happy than most choose. Apparently happiness for many is not the only reason to live.
