I believe cartel would be a better name for it in this case. ERCOT is a cartel.
Right? At least Elon doesn't have to conspire to underpay his staff.
Now people get angry if the game doesn't have support with content updates for at least 3 years
I mean, have you seen the state game studios are releasing games in now? It's like 3+ years of updates just to get it to the place it was supposed to be at release.
No thanks, I have an appointment to have splinters shoved under my nails.
It's TMZ, of course it's shit writing.
From the NYT article on this
“At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression,” the autopsy report said. It noted that the level of ketamine investigators found in Perry’s blood was equivalent to the amount that would be used during general anesthesia.

Toxicology tests also detected “therapeutic” levels of buprenorphine, a drug that medical examiners said was used to treat drug addiction and for pain; Perry’s live-in assistant said in a witness statement that he was seeing a psychiatrist and taking buprenorphine twice a day as prescribed. Investigators also found evidence of sedatives but found no evidence of alcohol, methamphetamine or cocaine.
I don't get the desire to have micro walking robots when tracked, wheeled, or other forms of locomotion are easier, simpler, and cheaper to implement. The only place you need a walking robot would be in environments meant to serve people, where non-walkers would find difficulty maneuvering. And in that case they need to be comparable to adult humans in size.
I mean, even if you have a really short refractory period the streams tend to get less and less in volume.
Healthcare and profit motive should never, ever be allowed to mingle. That's how you're going to wind up with a pacemaker that requires a monthly subscription or even a prescription - meaning if you don't see an authorized doctor, you can't keep your pacemaker running. If someone like United Healthcare could do this, they absolutely would.
2023 going out with a couple of gut punches.
It was mostly marketing. Especially back when they started and the market was saturated with computer manufacturers all churning out their own computers that didn't interoperate well with others. It saved educators and then businesses time because they didn't have to waste time re-educating students or employees on a new system. This especially bore fruit as computers started gaining power and the ability to perform functions that had been relegated to mainframes, meaning experience with computer type X could become central to that role. I really think Apple took Moore's Law to heart and projected out the future of the role of computers in business as a result of it and the increasing shrinking of components. Why pay for a super expensive powerful mainframe when only a few people in a company might need that much power and the rest need far less? More cost effective to buy a few powerful desktops and save tens to hundreds of thousands on a mainframe.
