  • Diseases occur naturally, new diseases occur naturally. We know the first cases were in Wuhan China. There are a number of theories on how "patient 0" became infected. (Bat to human transfer, lab grown, pig to human, other dead animal to human) But patient 0 is not even known, early COVID spread extremely fast and a source cannot be pinpointed. Knowing the exact source could help with prevention of future new diseases (shutting down wet markets or closing labs). But with the speed of the spread, death rate, and chaos it brought, it will likely never be known.

    "Will someone pay." Without knowing an exact source we don't know if a human is at fault or if there was just the perfect storm of natural events. mRNA vaccines are a new technology that was fast tracked thanks to COVID. As a society we will benefit from its ability to develop new vaccines faster. Many nations/regions were forced to reevaluate their disaster relief plans because of COVID. If a future event occurs the lessons learned from COVID should help mitigate.

  • Asbestos was used because of it's flame retardation and it's easy to make. Provided it's properly encapsulated and does not become damaged risk can be mitigated. Preventing damage is the hard part, no one plans for a tree to fall on their house. Maybe if everyone just wears a air mask all the time we wouldn't have to worry about it.

  • The declaration of independence says "all men(and women) are created equal". We know this is untrue. For example, Donald Trump was born the son of a millionaire, while the majority of Americans are not. Donald Trump's parents were able to afford to go to send him to private school and get an ivy league education, the majority of Americans cannot. We know that people are born into different advantages and disadvantage. Thanks to the history of slavery, and racism/sexism as a whole, minorities typically start with fewer advantages. Minorites were turned down for promotions, loans, and hiring while the majority reeped the benefits which are passed down to the next generation. "DEI" programs are a way to help level the field, to make everyone more equal. If everyone has the same upbringing and advantages we would not need it. But this is not the case. DEI helped remove systemic disadvantages that minorites face in hiring.

  • I have on multiple occasions told it exactly what the error is and how to fix it. The AI agrees, apologizes, and gives me the same broken code again. It takes the same amount of time to describe the error as it would have for me to fix it.

  • Have you used any AI for programming? There is 0 chance entry level jobs will be replaced. AI only works well if what it needs to do is well defined, as a dev that is almost never the case. Also companies understand that to create a senior dev they need a junior dev they can train. Also cooperations do not trust Google, openAI, meta, ect with their intellectual property. My company made it a firedable offense if they catch you uploading IP to an AI.

  • As others have mentioned look for the inverter. It is also a good idea to call an electrician, it'll cost you, but they can double check everything is still in good working order and can answer all questions.

  • Saying it's illegal is a better headline. Also, I believe it was illegal, you just have 365 days to comply before legal action can take place.

    Edit: I read the article. It is illegal. Still looking for an actual source on this but it seems in Tennessee a company can operate a mobile power plant for no more than 365 days without permit. Likely in case of disaster so people could still have power while they get the main plant back online. The article says it's a "legal loophole that allows turbines to run without permits if they are not fixed in one location for more than 364 days." But I think these are housed in permanent structures, so illegal either way.

  • I think you're confused about how the USA works. We use metric and sae tools all the time. Any imported machinery uses metric. Machine shops will have two sets of tools to work in both. We learn metric in high school science class.

    The USA uses USCS because that's what we've always used. There is a wealth of data in USCS already, we already have the tools for it, and we all have a base understanding of it. We could never just "switch to metric." No one is replacing working machinery because it's in the wrong units.
