The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.

Doing good work takes time to make money, execs need those quarterly bonuses right now. Much easier to do a bunch of layoffs and get that line up now.

Everyone is allowed sexual preferences. I do think if you’re in a position where your sister is calling you out, you should consider how and when you are expressing those opinions.

The prime minister went to the scene to talk to reporters, they certainly seem to consider it a big deal.

These are off-brand machines with extremely low end cpus. I would expect zero warranty support and extreme cost cutting measures everywhere. I would suggest taking a look at some of the better known brands and what they offer in this price point. Lenovo has the IdeaPad 1 line with several machines around this price point, I’m sure some of the others do as well.

But to answer your question: the 16" has a newer and much faster CPU, more memory, and a better display ratio (this one is somewhat preference but I really like 16:10 on laptops).

Roku, android TV, samsung, webOS, and a bunch of other random smart tv platforms all have plex apps. For direct hdmi I assume most people run a media center like kodi (xbmc).

Nope, both go directly from your PC to your tv. Plex does a log-in thing to their servers but that’s just an account. Jellyfin is 100% local.

For a PC and a roku on the same network I would highly recommend Plex or Jellyfin. You store the video on your pc and stream it over to the tv over the network. They’re both free, Plex is closed source and has some paid features if you want that, Jellyfin is totally open source.

I’ve been using Plex in this setup for a lot of years and its been rock solid.

And the realization they need to actually do work and know what people are doing to figure out if the people reporting to them are doing their jobs. With everyone in an open office you can just walk around with a cup of coffee and assume on vibes.

Imo star wars is the outlier in his work. Looper, knives out, and glass onion are all worth a watch.

Have a look in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include/dbus. If you find it in there you may have to manually add that to your include paths in gcc.

Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves “normally”. I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

They sold laptops with this feature at one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM&list=PLec1d3OBbZ8IBeFODHXLy0m0okuZhqJnT

I was on the younger side so it was mostly flash game and animation sites. Homestar runner, albinoblacksheep, miniclip, addicting games, runescape.

I think this is a little doom and gloom for what is a very well intentioned project with an independent oversight board. Is the theory here that a paper receiving this funding would hesitate to expose corruption or be critical of local projects? To be honest, it’s just not enough money. $100,000 a year being split among several local news orgs is a nice donation that pays part of someone’s salary.

I wonder if corporate funding is the only way to get professional news or not.

That’s definitely not what the author is implying. Direct corporate funding has all the same potential problems but with less oversight, more money, and with way more things to hide.

It claims to reflect radiating heat from the sun and blacktop in a way bare skin doesn’t. The same principal as wearing white, billowy clothing in deserts rather than just being naked.

And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

It’s renewable on the timeframe of tens of years as opposed to millions of years for crude oil. The carbon released from trees was sequestered not that long ago. It’s still not clean to burn but it is distinct from fossil fuels in its origin and impact.

Star fortresses only became common after the invention of cannon artillery. That’s exceedingly modern for this type of nonsense.
