I assumed this was more that the robust system survives. Oxidative phosphorylation is complicated, requiring many participating proteins in the pathway. If any of them are broken, that is it. Glycolysis is comparatively simple more likely to survive random mutation. Any cells which break glycolysis will die off.
Swiping a card (or inserting, or tapping) is a "card present" transaction. Online shopping, where you type in the card number, is a "card not present" transaction. Retailers and banks can tell the difference.
If I use a decompiler on existing binaries, then some machine translation utility to turn that into a different language, that still feels like a derivative work, even if no human were reviewing the specifics.
The idea is to make it so that the parts of the output that are derived from the existing binary are not themselves eligible for copyright protection. I.e., factual descriptions of the file format, without any implementation details from the binary.
One of the few powers of the board is to fire the CEO. I do not see why there is any need for codified reasons. If the board thinks the CEO should do better, that is all that matters.
The CEO can be drunk, liar, cheat, steal, and be incompetent only as long as the board thinks it is ok.
There is already free energy. In 2024, California curtailed 3400 GWh of solar. Hydrogen is one of the easier ways to load shift that to winter or processes which need something denser than batteries. I actually prefer synthetic methane (worse efficiency) because it is more immediately usable.
Looking at the charts[0], load shifting all the way to winter seems unnecessary. You only need to load shift until ~6pm, in which case there are plenty of better options out there like grid-scale batteries, flywheels, pumped storage hydro, etc.
It depends on your energy mix. The more solar you go, more load shifting is required. Winter solar production is relatively crummy and you need to offset that loss somehow for the entire season.
That chart is showing some curtailment in winter because the grid knows to expect less production. It is already tuned to spin up more gas because solar will underperform relative to Summer.
This is a rare circumstance where I would actually assume incompetence vs malice. (Unlike big tech, which has weaponized good will)
I would hope that anyone medical adjacent would be more deliberate in building a service, but I can easily imagine following the same ad-infested path as everyone else. “Start with this Google/Facebook/Microsoft/Draft Kings starter template that bundles leftpad so you can save time for the hard work”
I skipped the graduation ceremonies for my BA and my first master’s degree. For my second, apparently the cost of a cap, gown and hood was included in the tuition so I have academic regalia sitting in a box somewhere should I ever find myself in need of such, a scenario I cannot imagine ever coming to pass.
It’s also for the families, but mine wasn’t available for the BA and I told them not to bother for the first master’s. The second, I only went to because it was a low-residence program and the ceremony took place during the final residency and being one of less than 20 people in the cohort, my absence would have been conspicuous.
Lol yeah, still pissed at my family for having me walk for high school grad, didn't walk for college because I got a real job instead of wasting my time graduating. What a stupid tradition; mandatory accredited higher education deserves the death waiting for it. Paid for a dumb "class ring", too.
I just did online school and didn't bother showing up to any kind of ceremony. I was 30 when I finally finished school, I didn't really feel the need to prove anything.
That sounds like too much effort. Better to have the AI write you a 20k word manifesto about how much you love your employer and then include that in the context of every request.
