Get a scraper/brush and keep it in your car.

Use it before you start driving. Don’t just clear a “porthole” to see out of. Clear the snow off the roof too. If you don’t it’ll fly off and hit the guy behind you or it’ll slide down over your windshield.

If you don’t have your scraper, a credit card will work in a pinch for the windshield.

Don’t pour hot water over your windshield to melt ice. At best it just doesn’t work, at worst you’ll crack the windshield

If you’re new to driving on icy/snowy roads, get a sense for how/when your car will break traction. Find an empty parking lot, accelerate a bit and then brake increasingly harder until you start to slide. This will give you a feel for the conditions under which you’ll lose traction to brake. This is also a good way to learn how to recover from a slide.

smh Apple playing 5th dimensional chess again making stupid design decisions to get the all important lemmy advertising for free.

Tim apple is truly a genius

They were talking about warehouse workers, not corporate employees.

No rank and file US-based employees at Amazon are getting years of severance. They don’t do that.

Firefox can do without Google being the default fine. What they can’t do without is all the money that Google pays them to make Google be the default.

Doesn’t everyone pick their ideals to care about?

Reread A Fire Upon the Deep just a week or two ago.

Amazing SF writer.

He may have PTSD and he may have had 1,000 hours of firearms training, but if you empty your magazine the way he did, under the circumstances he did, you’re incompetent to be a police officer. Period.

And even he apparently recognizes that since he resigned (though whether he’ll just go get hired the next town over is probably a decent bet).

It’s a race to the bottom.

Yes, you can decline to opt in, but the guy next to you (or the guy next to him) will opt in and sell his AI voice package for less than it costs to employ a real person. And unlike a real person, the AI voice package can work 24/7 on 10,000 productions at the same time.

If anyone can opt in, then no one can really opt out.

Is this a good thing? For the bottom line of the people making the games, sure. And maybe 3% of that savings will trickle down to the consumer.

But it’s pretty bad for the voice actors.

Now if we can just get all the fatties in America to read your post we’ll have this thing licked!

It’s all good my bro. I understand where you’re coming from.

What you’re saying is a nice thought, but it’s a game theory failure.

In a perfect world, yes, America would not have elected a narcissistic maniac. But in the real world, we did. And Ginsberg, who knew she was in poor health (had cancer like a bazillion times) opted to take a chance.

Maybe she just calculated poorly, or maybe this was a magnificent act of putting principle above pragmatism. Either way, Roe v. Wade was still overturned and so much for RGBs legacy. The smart move for an 80 year old woman with colon cancer is to find an offramp that lets her preserve her legacy.

I get it if you disagree, but I don’t think it’s hard to understand why people blame her at least in part for this mess.

Ironically what you wanted was her to politicize her position. She was above that

That’s great for her and all, but it was a choice that had the disastrous outcome of allowing Trump to replace her with Barrett. Ginsberg doesn’t have to live with that, but we all do. Thanks RBG.

The board has given no real reasoning for why they fired him. Until they do, there’s no reason anyone should consider this anything other than an internal power struggle that resulted in a coup.

And Sam didn’t have a job anymore. Why shouldn’t he go work for Microsoft? He was pushed out of OpenAI, is he contractually bound to never do something different?

Did musk hire expertise? Or do the actual engineering?

It sounds like your actual argument is that neither he nor they founded the company.

I guess it just sprang into existence on its own…

What’s your solution for the people that live there?

There’s something in the article about auto-delete policies.

If those policies violated a recordkeeping requirement maybe a jury could infer it was done intentionally in furtherance of a crime

Or maybe even if it was set to auto delete messages after some really unusually short period. By that I mean if you configured it to delete messages after a few days it might be hard to explain the legitimate business purpose served by such a rule.

I mean, he got shot and he’s recovered so… in this case the consequences were definitely reversible.
