Yes, but even with my worst handwriting, in situations where I and l matters, I can always choose to do an especially I I or particularly l l even if most are indistinguishable which a font can not do
I can see how you'd do an especially I I. You just need to include the serifs, which I always do in handwriting anyway.
But how do you emphasize a lowercase 'l'? The only method I know is to make it cursive, which looks terrible.
(I don't really need to distinguish l from I, because I put serifs on I. But I do sometimes need to distinguish it from 1; in natural writing, 1 and l are identical.)
Transmission in this sense does not include distribution losses (by the DNOs, at lower voltages). 8% in your link.
The UK government is now touting datacentre sites with better access to the national grid (transmission network) to avoid the issues inherent in the distribution networks. E.g. Culham which had a grid connection to power the JET fusion experiments.
I have found daily-driving Ubuntu at Delft shocking pleasant. Chrome, zotero, obsidian, zoom, and so on all work great. Outlook, teams, and the office suite, and signing pdfs are all the sharpest edges by far.
I feel if the TUs were required to dogfood this, especially if generously funded such that startups could come along and provide the same service and support, that it could be a great positive externality
My university uses Teams and the browser version is missing some features. For example, I can't see the files uploaded by the professor. That tab won't load.
PDF signing is the bane of my existence, luckily I can get by with a cloud solution but it's nowhere near how easy I wish it would be. Sadly I'm still forced to use a Windows VM or dual-boot because the tax authority in my country requires a root/digital certificate for login to their web system, at least for incorporated entities.
I can find a dozen solutions to sign a PDF on linux without much trouble. Now redacting seems a whole nother story.
I've failed to find even a single option on linux that does real PDF redaction like adobe acrobat. Most don't do redaction at all or worse they say they redact but it's actually just black highlighter on black text or some other kind of overlay that leaves the underlying text data intact.
Thanks for the tip, it might work if I can figure out where the certificate is stored on Windows because I am forced to go through an application first.
The original sin was using watts not joules. Humans hear watts as “gallons” and “watt hours” as “gallons per hour” and all the rest of this confusion in every article about EVs/fast chargers/distribution/solar/everything all trace back to “X-Hours” and “X” incorrectly sounding like a rate and a count, not a count and a rate.
I'm numb to it after many "EU fines Householdnamecorp a zillion doubloons" type headlines, but using "historic fine" to describe $10k to a lawyer feels odd.
> The fine appears to be the largest issued over AI fabrications by a California court
This is a bit like all the stats like "this is appears to be an unprecedented majority in the last 10 years in a Vermont county starting with G for elections held on the 4th when no candidate is from Oklahoma".
Lots of things are historic but that doesn't necessarily mean they're impressive overall. More interesting is how many of these cases have already been tried such that this isn't "historic" for being the first one decided.
expecting the same level of fine to an individual person as opposed to a faceless corp really shows how numb you must be. for an attorney to be fined that much is not normal. TFA even shows example of higher fines issued to law firms, while still not as high as your zillion doubloons hyberbole it still shows the distinction between individual and s/corporation/law firm/. EU fines have been progressively getting higher especially for repeat offenders. it would be unwise to expect different in legal matters
His website makes him look like the owner of a law firm, although I think it's just him? I'm not expecting the same number, but... california issues bigger fines for watering lawns or buying illegal fireworks. For a lawyer, a fine order of magnitude smaller than "hiring a paralegal" is less "historic" and more "cost of doing business, don't get caught"
California issues higher fines for littering than for abandoning an animal on the highway. It's listed right there on the highway signs as you enter the state. It stood out when I saw it for the first time.
Fines are arbitrary numbers set by some people not necessarily knowing about other fines for other offenses.
Some folks are posting about the regular flights over Panama, and I’ve seen talk about ending screwworm with a “gene drive”, but I also feel that it doesn’t feel necessary.
But a third option I don’t see talked about a lot: finish the job. We could drop sterile flies all over the USA and Mexico all the way into panama with 1950s tech. We have drones now, surely some inexpensive paper planes shoved out of the back of hercs could cover roughly all of south america for fairly cheap.
There is no finishing the job. Screwworm flies have tons of reservoirs in the jungles of Central America that aren’t practical to eliminate for logistical and ecological reasons. We can only control the population in agriculturally important areas by constantly releasing the sterile male flies every year. Whenever we stop the releases, the flies bounce back in a few years.
See I guess I find broadside “impractical” dissatisfying.
Could a few cargo ships be converted into floating fly farm aircraft carriers on either coast, maybe another in the amazon, and then just use a hundred reaper drone type things to do a creeping barrage? This must be within the budget of even a modest nation state.
In nova scotia there are grants to build “community solar gardens”. A 3-6MW solar farm is built somewhere cheap and convenient and then anybody in the community can pay for so many panels and then they get that amount knocked off the light bill as if they had rooftop solar. Idea is it lets people buy solar unrelated to if they rent/own or have a good roof pitch or whatever.
