This could be great if the rest of the chassis was filled with batteries.

The laptop is 4kg but the battery life is 6 months

Now you’re talking!

Huh, I've always been suspicious of folks claiming the opposite.

For the downvoters, have you ever tried to explicitly map your externalities?


What does mapping your externalities have to do with honesty? Is this a poor attempt to suggest that no one can actually be honest because no one has a full understanding of the entire universe? Because that's just a lazy excuse for not trying to be honest and not really worth being in the debate.

Having externalities does not mean you are dishonest. Hell, you can even ignore your externalities and still be honest. You can even outright steal from people and still be honest.

If you try to time the market and you sell at the exact peak you still have to time the market again and buy back at the correct bottom. If you miss either of these you're likely leaving long term performance on the table.

In Linux changing the MAC address can be done simply on the command line, so I'd probably just write this functionality into a bash script that I'd call before ifup.

When my first-born was six I walked around with her to all of the neighbor's houses and we introduced ourselves. We informed them that my daughter would likely be moving around the neighborhood independently, perhaps on occasion with her younger brother. I gave them my phone number and told them to call any time.

In addition to having no problems with Karens or the CPS we were able to identify the other houses that had kids in them and a band of independent neighborhood kids playing with and looking out for eachother quickly became the norm in our community.


> ...an unusually open minded computer teacher.

I've heard this story several times before and I, myself, had an unusually open minded computer teacher as a youth. I'm beginning to suspect this attribute is is not so unusual amongst computer teachers as has been assumed.


I learned absolutely nothing from my AP compSci teacher in highschool, java was taught at the time, I missed the c++ version by a year.

He was awful. I learned nothing.


How do you perform automated enforcement of missing or fake tags?

2 options come to mind, neither perfect:

1) My city already has ALPR vans for finding parking ticket scofflaws. Expand use of those finds to find cars with expired, fake, or missing plates. Boot or tow the cars.

2) Use toolbooths to identify cars with expired, fake, or missing plates. Patrol cars at the ready to pull them over.


Fyi, you appear to be shadowbanned and it's not clear why. You might consider sending an email to admin to work that out?


Post above you shows fine here. It's not grayed out or anything.


That's because I vouched for it.


And unlike cigarette butts, they stick to the parking lot. Lovely!


So who decides the threshold of public risk that is appropriate?
