perhaps - i didn’t read the article, but going by your comment: if it’s your contract workforce rather than full time then sometimes you just want to transition from expensive “temporary” employees to permanent positions

the reality of the situation is that these 2 things look exactly the same in 99% of circumstance and 100% of circumstances that consumers actually care about

furthering the explanation: tankie as a term came about from people who agreed with the USSRs use of tanks to quash revolt in hungary

+1 for the A1 with AMS lite

i’ve had 4 other filament printers (and a MSLA) and the A1 is the first one that i actually use regularly because it’s just so easy

cabinet positions

yass is country town in australia

i’d say it’s because when you put HFCS in bread in a lot of countries it categorises the thing as cake as far as regulations are concerned

it also allows them to push web standards in whatever direction they feel like

pushing web standards in their user-hostile favour

this is not the bluesky you’re looking for

https://blueskyproject.io/

Bluesky enables experimental science at the lab-bench or facility scale.

Bluesky is a collection of Python libraries that are co-developed but independently useful and may be adopted a la carte.

no, we want metric tons - or tonnes

a long ton is also not 1000kg; it’s 2240lb… a metric ton is 2204.6lb

a lot of forensics is legitimately junk science that’s been disproven by much better science

a drill is the most useful power tool that people tend to own… most of the time you could get away with just a screw driver and a self tapping screw, but we don’t because a power drill is a convenience object

i think we all tend to agree that we should be less wasteful, but a power drill is a shit example of that, and will only push people to write off the idea

rather than “we should all borrow a power drill rather than owning”, it should be something more like “yknow that 1 time you needed a nail gun? wouldn’t it be nice if you could just borrow it” (for me that item was a circular saw, and i use it maybe once every 5 years - i’d love to put it into a tool library or similar if i could borrow other things from time to time)

yeah i’m not sure about the scale issues. i’m a software engineer, so use it in teams of ~6-10 (more in the building, but not as close as classrooms) where everyone gets a macbook and iphone

it works close to perfectly in those situations

i’m not sure of the issues that you’re having, but it almost always works perfectly for me - screen mirroring, media control (streaming from device as well as remote control of existing media - even streamed from 1 device to eg a homepod and then using another device to skip etc), airdrop files and photos etc to my own device or others’ devices, even the new ability to walk away and have the transfer continue over the internet

can’t remember the last time i had an issue that wasn’t solved immediately by a retry, and even those issues are very rare

… in my experience at least

actually the closest thing i think we could probably say to americans is: our christmas is like 4th of july… but it’s the whole christmas and new years… we get 4th of july holiday for a whole month or more

lol now comes australia: $109 for 100/40, and that’s a good deal because our conservative government fucked everything and pissed away $40bn

also i’ve told some US friends about my new years plans: outdoors, festival, parties kinda thing… they’re blown away by how amazing it sounds for this particular period

i mean, australia we have summer christmas and it’s kinda amazing… new years and christmas parties and festivals outside are amazing

require a centralized control over how much people are allowed to raise prices to match inflation for games.

and? governments already track inflation. in australia, our minimum wage and unemployment benefit amount and a lot of other things are legally defined relative to CPI (the “cost of a basket of groceries”)… rental increases are capped at “reasonable” amounts given the increase of other properties in the area… these are not only doable, but already being done in different contexts

And, as mentioned many times already, it doesn't work with microtransactions or free to play games

that’s true, but this is why we say “reasonably available” as the core metric rather than specifics: we define what IS reasonable, and then let the courts decide outside of that list

incentivizes setting a very high launch price to work around the limitation of using launch pricing as a benchmark for a product's entire lifetime.

which is why i didn’t say launch price - i suggested something along the lines of an average… the cost of the game should be something like the median price that people paid. what most people are willing to pay is “reasonable”

People ARE arguing that something being up for sale should be the trigger instead

think you’re misunderstand - it’s not “for sale”, it’s “reasonably available” to an average targeted person

I think this is a very, very hard problem to fix, but if you made me try, I'd argue that a deep reform should enable copyright exceptions regardless of whether something is up for sale. I don't even know why people here are so fixated with that element. The exclusive right should not be about copying a thing, it should be about selling or profiting from a thing. Not copyright, but sale right.

sale is irrelevant to the issue though - the issue that we’re trying to solve is general availability to the majority of people the product was designed for. if you are the copyright holder, and you make your work available for consumption then nobody should be allowed to distribute your work without permission (for some reasonable time)… if you decide to stop distributing a work, there’s no public good that comes from that, and thus it should have no copyright protections because copyright protection is meant to increase the volume of creative works
