A dozen years ago or so there was a huge uproar about "common core" mathematics, which was a new standard being used in the USA for teaching.

It was a politicized trendy topic and even so-called-intellectuals were jumping on the train and calling it a deranged way of learning math.

I looked into it a bit, and I swear this pic pretty much sums up one of the key methods they were teaching.

Basically just tricks that a lot of people figure out to simplify problems.

Sounds like the issue is that his car was previously damaged. Tesla knows about that and for liability reasons doesn't want him supercharging.

I'm sure someone is concerned of the possibility of his car bursting into flames during charging because of physical cell damage.

That is... Not a bad thing to be concerned about.

The only reason I'm paying for any kind of Xbox subscription is to keep a few older COD online unlocks available. I wonder if I could use my pihole to intercept that and replay something back to the Xbox so I can still use them

Also that one person who may have eaten a cat, or maybe that was a Lūʻau... nobody can really remember.

Bluesky is being run by a funded professional startup team and is aimed at the masses. Mastodon is run by activists and software devs and brings in other like minded folks.

Revenue per head is no doubt a sexy metric, especially for private companies. If it was a public company then investors would call for the company to try and grow its overall profits by spending more on growth related initiatives... Perhaps by releasing half-life 3 for example, lol.

The great thing about keeping your company private is that you can get it just where you like and keep it there no matter what outside parties want. I could totally see Gaben is perfectly satisfied making bank at this level while also having a chill lifestyle.

I'm sure this guy did fear for his life. I am sure he did feel like the safest thing he could do in that moment for himself was to fire directly into the unknown car.

And that's why he doesn't belong in our society. He is not welcome to participate given that the above is true, and we need to remove him until the end of time to ensure that no such thing can ever happen again.

Step 1: Pick an issue that is divisive*

Step 2: Boost it with stories about how bad the people on the wrong side are: won't someone think of the children?

Step 3: Watch the outrage donations roll on in

It's a playbook as old as time.

*Some people might call it divisive because one side is like "let's all become crabs and live in the ocean" vs the other side that's like "no let's continue using our opposable thumbs". But who am I to label whether one side is right and the other wrong?

Pretty sure I'm having heat creep up the Bowden tube, as it's getting jammed a few cm back from the hot end and then can't push the filament any more. When I get it out there's a little molten bulb at the filament.

In this fail, I think it jammed as usual and the extruder found a way to keep going.

I tried turning down the hot end from 215 to 200 and it's still failing. My cooling fan is running at 100%.

This is the third time I've had this print fail at about this layer, around 1 hour into what will be a 26 hour print.

Any ideas?

It takes time. Lemmy is still pretty niche and reddit just has a decade+ of accumulated lurkers.

The important part is that the best people from Reddit are here now.

The IRS agent who worked up this case is either going to be up for a few days of extra vacation time or perhaps a job at Microsoft.

Giant infrastructure projects are a weakness of democracies. It's tough to get everyone to agree and pay for huge projects that take long term vision and planning.

Or you could call it a strength because it's stable and can't be changed too fast by one guy with a short term bad idea.

The first few times I heard "woke" used, it was in the context of people who don't follow the sheep because they aren't asleep. Hence, they have woke up.

Saw this come through from Octoprint remotely. It was an 8 hour print and died about at about the 7:15 mark.

Are you doing anything to protect yourself or your home from the risk of a fire?

Hopefully as micro-mobility takes hold, more and more cities will create spaces for parking and charging electric vehicles.

Solid state ceramic batteries may greatly advance the future of micro-mobility. They promise higher energy density and less susceptibility to thermal runaway and can be used in a wider temperature range.

E-bikes are not bicycles

The article makes a strong assertion that e-bikes are something entirely different than regular bikes and should be regulated separately.

Do you think e-bikes should always be allowed to follow the same paths and rules as regular person-powered bicycles? Or should communities treat them as something different?

1

This creative way to increase the adoption of micro-mobility is similar to the tax credits offered by the US federal government around electric cars.

Is it likely to draw more interest from the community? Would you be more encouraged to purchase an e-bike if you could get a voucher?

1

The era of more regulation may be upon us - if New York enacts more rules, it's likely that other cities will follow and insurers may even begin to exclude liabilities from Lithium battery fires.

What can the industry do now to regulate itself? Is there some reasonable amount of safety regulation that can save lives without dramatically increasing costs?
