A lot of duel dimensioned drawings when you are interfacing.

I just have to be able to convert back and forth, sometimes in a single sentence: “we are using a 500mm X 450mm base made from 1/16” sheet metal."

This is me with all CAD software 😭

With that logic you should have mandatory reporting of anyone entering a hardware store. Neither of these is a real problem.

My last project in aerospace with 100’s of people was mostly Imperial. There is a lot of mixing of units and you can basically design your subsystem however you want. There was a mandate decades ago to go metric, but that has largely been ignored. It’s the worst of both worlds!

My current project is just a couple people, so I mandated all metric. I have to spend a lot of money on tooling, but it is largely fine. I would say 10 years ago getting some fancy aerospace grade fasteners was easier in Imperial, less so today.

My mind still defaults to Imperial for very small dimensions like a 8 thou gap or something.

I definitely don’t have that problem 😂.

I have tried: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, You Tube Music, Tidal

I now stick with Tidal. Started by (very rich) artists. They pay musicians 3-4X more than Spotify. Highest sound quality available. Good app and works with smart speakers.

BTW with Soundiiz it is easy to sync you playlists across multiple platforms, so no friction with switching.

Spotify is terrible for artists and pays peanuts compared to other services like Tidal. I understand the app is great, but it is not worth it. Spotify is all in on AI music to save even more money. Terrible company.

They would also sell the body armor in that analogy. The good news is AI is so unpopular, there is no way they are getting immunity like social media platforms.

I wish you could make money off of nowing when a company is spouting bullshit, but after watching Tesla stock for a decade…

Technology Connections is basically the only thing over 20min I will watch…so good

Is the Internet over?

I am super sceptical of anything made in the last year. Youtube will close to being worthless if the trend continues.

That was the weirdest part, the HuggingFace response made no sense. It was basically “no harm, no foul.” And so convenient it only hacked another AI company.

I would suggest you look up exactly what they make. Plenty of grocery stores are publicly traded companies. Go ask a bodega owner.

If they were efficient for their owners, there profit would be a shit ton more than 3% of revenue.

Food dumping is its own issue. I bet the government grocery stores will have to follow the exact same laws.

The Piggly Wigley or the Bodega are not raking it in.

The problem is we are only talking about grocery stores where the revenue is only about 3%. Ton of problems with Big Ag which as you said is heavily subsidized. I don’t mind the redistribution. I think it is great optics. But I just think it is ineffective, because grocery stores (only talking stores) are in fact very efficient already.

Not a Republican, but there is a lot of nuance.

He can sell groceries at a loss because the money comes from other places…all of which is eventually paid for in taxes (in this case there is probably a small resitribution from rich to poor which I am happy with).

I don’t mind Democrats getting caught helping their constituents. But let’s not pretend he found some cheap grocery loophole; grocery store are already incredibly efficient, they only make ~3% profit. I am just speculating that the logistics needed to spin up govt groceries is much larger than the existing ~3% markup from the private sector.

That’s basically why I love the story. Unfortunately Nolan’s movie apparently has very little nuance in that respect.

Completely anecdotal, but I think major subs here have some very active mods with some pretty crazy opinions and like to power trip. Those mods would usually get flushed out over time on reddit.

I think that is a point worth considering too. I would argue we have incrementally been in decline regarding workers for 4 decades, and just not doing that would have also avoided Trump. Anyway we probably mostly agree.
