Tell the truth, and quote the customer without that feature. Make it clear that that feature doesn’t exist, and your company can’t make it, and your supplier isn’t interested in working on it.

Your boss had time to sort this out, and failed. He asked you to move forward as if it was solved, which means lying. Instead, tell the truth.

You could run it by your boss before sending it to the customer, but don’t let him insert any bad-faith statements if you’re the one signing the quote.

This reminds me of Trump’s trial where he was threatened like 5 times with contempt, for outbursts in the courtroom. They never actually held him in contempt.

Pre-dentistry, a bunch of your teeth would have fallen out before your wisdom teeth came in. There would have been space for the wisdom teeth so they wouldn’t need to come in sideways.

Ceramic resonators have a typical accuracy of +/-0.5%. An error of +182Hz is a +0.57% error rate.

Here is a datasheet cited by the Wikipedia article. It says 0.5% initial error, another 0.3% over its full temperature range, and another 0.3% over 10 years of aging.

This is not rogue. DOGE and the president are rogue. This person is following the law.

Yes, please. Removing the US from NATO has the advantage that countries like Ukraine and Georgia can sooner join NATO. Since Russia is hostile to them, Trump (who is a Russian asset) would never let them join NATO. Getting the US out of NATO removes Trump’s vote.

The US can no longer be expected to fulfill its obligations to NATO anyway, so removing the US doesn’t decrease NATO’s total defensive power. Trump has said he would refuse to help unless other NATO countries increase spending (which is happening slowly, but not yet). Trump would never deploy the military to defend against any attack by Putin. He may even deploy the military to assist Putin.

I think quantum computers may be impossible. But if they are possible, they will be a USB/PCIe accessory that works alongside an ordinary processor running an ordinary operating system.

I expect Linux will have a driver for quantum computers before Windows.

The United States is a second world country.

The only thing that needs to happen for people to “feel secure enough not to want” guns is for Fox News (et al) to stop spreading disinformation about the levels of violent crime. I see tons of ads falsely claiming that violent crime is through the roof, when it’s actually very low and decreasing.

Watch out for scams, as most of them probably are. Ideally, you could look for one operated by a known bank. Crypto .com looks like a scam to me.

Coinbase used to be considered legitimate, but I’m not sure if it still is.

Sorry I don’t have anything more concrete. I don’t think a lot of people on Lemmy use cryptocurrency.

Most things worth buying are probably available with cash or credit card.

I use it often, and have never walked out to someone waiting for it. If I did, I wouldn’t feel bad, because I take like 1 minute to poop.

It’s not a pump-n-dump this time. In my opinion, it’s a laundered bribe. The 800k victims were an unintended benefit.

Make them do it. The US Marshals should have resisted also, as DOGE is illegal.

It seems unlikely to me that there are 120k or 130k South Koreans in the United States without legal immigration status. They probably have visas that can be revoked more easily.

Phyllis Fong is a hero. We could get through this more easily if more people acted like her.

A lot of agency workers were offered 9 months severance to quit, but they chose to stay on.

Of these 3, the Pixel 9. It can run both GrapheneOS and CalyxOS.

The Pixel 8a can also run both, but it only costs $400. CalyxOS will support both phones until 2031.

Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you and, as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings; who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants; who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They…may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurudwaras and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people. Good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen

(This is the end of the sermon, the part that addresses Trump. I couldn’t find the full text.)

I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a fucking spade. Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.

If we’re calling a spade a spade, Elon is a flush.
