The laws specified by the EU allow for future technological developments and the advancement of the standard without having to re-write the laws. The law itself includes a mandatory technical review, and allows for new standards to be integrated, and outdated standards to be dropped.
The EU commision did not decide on USB-C in a vacuum. It looked on already existing stanards and talked to many large electronics manufacturers in order to come to a proposal for USB-C as a universal standard. You are right to point out the role that both Intel and Apple played (Along HP, Microsoft and the USB-IF) in the development of the standard, but you’re missing the forest for the trees, since it was the EU making it a *universal * standard within it’s boarders that means we all use the same standard.
The reason we should thank the EU is because of this rule. While I cannot guarantee this rule is responsible, the fact that it’s mandated means it’s significantly more economically viable to use the same connector across all regions (including America), and so this rule is the primary factor in the standardization of charging cables.
I genuinely thought that this was a meme about stereotypes around how different countries name products for a second.
30 is common, but I wouldn’t say standard. An hour a day feels standard.
In office work, you usually get it all in one chunk, whereas if you work physically demanding or shift-based work, you get 15 minutes coffee break, then at lunch 30 minutes, then another 15 minutes later. This is true at least for all the western European countries.
I wish we could take cars of the road that way…
Depends on which was first, right?
To be fair, programming is basically the art of making the computer do as much as possible with as little typing as possible.
I think this is not helpful, since both are “mixing colour”. I think a more apt analogy would be “shining multiple lights” vs “stacking colour filters”.
To be clear, the accusation is that the mod team is Zionist, and that they consistently moderate all anti-Zionist content.
It’s a Zionist bar not just because there’s a few Zionists, but because the bar owner keeps kicking out the people who cause a ruckus with the Zionists.
Even if we do this, paternity tests are not guaranteed correct. This has the possibility to cause so much unneeded drama.
It’s not really even errors. It is well-suited for what it was designed. It produced pretty good text. It’s just that we’re using it for stuff it’s not suited for. Like digging a hole with a spoon, then complaining your hands hurt.
The government already knows all our ages, right? They issue our IDs after all. Have the government provide a “yes, this person is over 18” service. There are ways of providing signed files/tokens which don’t contain personal information.
If the government wants to write a law, then I think it’s reasonable they’re also responsible to help with a solution.
Oh. Yeah. I completely missed that. My bad.
Fair, but nuanced rules are difficult to enforce, and somewhat open to interpretation. This leads to people trying to skirt the rules and also good faith posts which break the rules which leads to conflict also.
I think it’s better to keep things as simple as possible, as long as the rule is good enough.
It’s a question posed to LLMs, so I thought the distance was chosen basically arbitrarily. Besides, it’s not an unrealistic distance. Lots of houses don’t have a driveway, and cars are parked along the street instead, for example.
As a human, I hadn’t even considered that the question would presume a car wash… I assumed you’d wash it. Y’know, with a bucket and sponge…?
This is why ‘American’ politics are banned, and not politics broadly, right?
Ah, I misunderstood. I conflated “Americans” (lawmakers) and “Americans” (everyone else).
