> I find it very difficult to believe that people interested in buying a Tesla factor into their decision the political and personal opinions of Elon Musk.
I absolutely wouldn't buy a Tesla (or subscribe to Starlink) with him in charge. I've also more or less given up Twitter...
A friend used to use NTL and he said their network used to put the modems on a class C so you could browse "your" network to see who didn't have SMB locked down...
This was in Cambridge, where I assume the average level of technical knowledge was higher than most places...
You are lying all over the place. You claim to be based in the UK, so where's your office ? What's your VAT number ? Why is your phone number not a UK number ?
Oh come on, anyone who's ever done DIY knows it's legit...
The act itself is easy, you just need to get the men[0] to the right place at the right time which is a much harder problem (not a million miles away from the optimisation problem that caver_dave describes up above)
[0] I don't ever recall seeing a woman do this job
I do a lot of financial numerical stuff and the weirdness in FP precision even when you have lots of bits to play with is something we have to pay close attention to otherwise the results can go very skew whiff.
I was involved in a biochemistry project that got hit by this a few years ago. Luckily for us it was very obvious as the models started outputting negative concentrations of a ligand around a receptor (which without a quick rewrite of the laws of physics can't exist).
According to the Department of Justice, the Jetflicks crew operated since 2007 and acquired a massive library of television episodes "larger than the combined catalogs of Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and Amazon Prime,"
Given that the streaming landscape is hugely fragmented these days which sucks for the customer[0], getting everything in one place sounds exactly what a customer would want

[0] Why did Europe have to take the worst thing about American cable TV?
>but mostly they seem to be written at the same time, by the same people, and to the same dreadful standard as the rest of the documentation.
I once had "ownership" of a troublesome datascience system forced on me. A lot of the problems were self-inflicted, so every time I saw an issue twice I documented the hell out of it. This meant I just sent them the link and told them to come back if it's not fixed. After a while the data scientists started emailing the links to one another and the service desk also did the same. The end result was I could get on and do something useful and the data scientists could get back to work quicker. An added bonus was that any problems not in the FAQ were often hard enough to be fun to work on.
> Even if the bags did rip, why had the documents not gone through a cross-cut shredder?
Exactly this.
I was once a temp in a [paper] health records library, over twenty years on I still recall the rules we had to work under (and I expect in this post-GDPR world they've got much stronger)
> Here in the U.S., we have a decent number of heavier people who would be sweaty and miserable at anything over 20 degrees celsius.
I'm a [BMI] healthy weight and suffer from that exact problem. I've had discussions with the people who are always cold and asked them which item of clothing they'd like me to remove next (leaving me in my underwear)...
1163 people shot to death in the USA in 2023, 3 in the UK in 2022/3*

There was also this rather funny incident: where some cops got locked in their Tesla as their suspect cycled around the car making gestures at them (before crashing into the selfsame car)
