I would say, put a reasonable effort into finding the owner. If the owner cannot be found, it’s finders keepers.

Key thing about trying to find owners of lost things: You cannot just say ‘is this your $200’. You need to do something more like, ‘I’m trying to find the owner of some lost money’ and if they claim it is theirs, ask them how much it was. This way you filter out grifters.

I would also say going to the police over $200 is well beyond reasonable effort. It just isn’t enough money to justify using their time.

Absolutely anything to avoid the metric system! If we, as Americans, has to measure in quotation marks, we damn sure will!

My first thought was: why have I never heard of this? The answer seems to be: 2" x 3" photo paper costs $0.41/ea.

Mail-order professional photo prints are quite a bit cheaper than that. So, the main thing this contends with is other instant photo creation methods. Which are pretty niche ever since digital cameras became good.

Writing code is easier than understanding and reviewing another’s code. There is good reason code reviewers aren’t the interns and new hires.

My question to others is, why would you want to turn into a code reviewer for AI code? It’s a shitload harder. And if the goal is anything but a weekend project, you damn well better be understanding and reviewing it critically, otherwise one is shitting up the code base and forcing others to clean up your mess.

If you don’t have enough money to pay for delivery, you need to be picking it up yourself or, even better, cooking it yourself. DoorDash is horrendously expensive.

they should be paying proportionally to the damage they cause

Good news, electricity is already taxed. Driving larger EVs already costs more in taxes than driving smaller, more efficient EVs.

Electricity is already taxed.

We don’t need more government tracking of our every move.

Yeah, it’s incredibly important that resources like Wikipedia remain neutral. I’m glad more people are paying attention to this now.

Less about people being too stupid and more about people just not seeing the point. The average person touches the AC/Heat switch only a few times a year.

I personally love the days where it’s cool enough at night to open the windows and get the house temperature down. Means the AC the next day doesn’t have to do nearly as much (and thus my electric bill isn’t as high).

While that is shit, if I call a restaurant to make a reservation and they just tell me to go to their website, I’m probably going elsewhere anyway.

Why even have a phone number if it is useless?

Heavily suggests they have no spare capacity in the system. All the redundancies are gone, everything is now a single-point failure. Anytime something breaks or needs to go offline for maintenance, there will simply be an outage instead of rerouting through the backup system.

Ukraine said it was ready to accept an immediate 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia, as the US announced it would immediately lift its restrictions on military aid and intelligence sharing after high-stakes talks in Saudi Arabia.

Important first paragraph.

Yep, compression can do wonders. Let’s say a piece of data is 1010110010110101 repeating 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10 times in a row. (No I didn’t screw up my notation there, that is just a massive number)

You cannot fit that piece of data on a hard drive uncompressed, yet I just communicated it to you in a compressed format and you can view the data accurately at any position.

Edit: That number in an easier to read format:

I’m not aware of any repealed Russian sanctions or tariffs.

You can often get such assistance if you are poor. If you aren’t, it’s expected you or your parents will cover basic costs.

O, damnit. Not the last bastion of hope!

Edit: 100% serious. Like Rossmann, Brother was the go-to brand.

I originally skimmed it and processed it as ‘Japan Fights Its Largest Wildfire for More than 30 Years’, and I had a picture of a wildfire that just kept restarting itself. Something akin to the Centralia mine fire that has been actively burning since 1962…

If you have a question, ask it. Don’t fish for people’s personal info.

BidenSoOld and KamalaJustAsBad arguments

Kamala just as bad arguments exist because Kamala campaigned on being the same as Biden. If she didn’t want to be perceived as being the same as him, why did the campaign on being the same as him?

Maybe next time Democrats will run a better candidate, rather than losing to Trump…again.
