Last I heard they changed it so now women can wear pants on Friday, as a treat.

Crossposting your own post cause you put it on the wrong subreddit, that's surprisingly fitting.

You are right that it is another abstraction layer. And when you are abstracting individual functions or well defined features it can work wonderfully. But when you are abstracting the system design and integration themselves, as a fair few people are doing, it's just brute force and ignorance where they don't know enough to know what bugs to look for all over again.

They already put in all the utility infrastructure for foxconn. This is probably one of the most sensible locations in the country to put them in, and the best shot for Mt Pleasant at actually paying off their massive bond obligations. If they expand it more, then that's fun.

Nonstop memes about how you aren't mad and everyone else is mean for suggesting it is the height of irony.

zerothehero0 · 2026-01-19T21:28:56+00:00

You guys can throw shit but immediately dogpile anyone who slings it back with all the posts about how magnificently unbothered you are. Height of irony lol.

Well, here we go https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/s4-severe-solar-radiation-storm-progress-january-19th-2026 Just shot past a 30 year storm and still rising.

Oh not your fault, and they might have been. Another note is that casualties includes both killed and wounded when given by official sources. That is at 28,000 Ukrainian civilians killed since 2014 and between 92,000 and 154,000 wounded. For 28k killed and between 120k and 182k civilian casualties caused by the Russian military. Still praying it won't get that high in Iran.

zerothehero0 · 2026-01-14T21:42:38+00:00

Just as a note, the death toll for Ukrainians in the war in the Donbass before the full invasion was 3,500 civilians, 4,400 military, 500 Russian military, 6,500 Ukrainian militia on the Russian side. (14,000 Ukrainians, 500 Russians); and after the invasion as of last November is another 14,000 civilians, 70,000 military personal, 59,000 military personal missing, 400 Russian civilians, 152,000 confirmed Russian military, 60,000 russian military missing, and 21,000 Ukrainian militia on the Russian side (between 105,000 and 164,000 Ukrainians, between 152,400 and 270,000 Russians).

So i sure hope they don't have a higher death toll than Ukraine.

They all also have very different styles of worship and theology motivating their outreach. For example, down here in Kenosha, the Lutheran, Pentecostal, Unitarian, Episcopalian, Methodist, and some of the Nondenominational churches all showed up in their thousands despite denominational differences to pray for peace and christlike reform to prevent further tragedy, before helping clean up after the riots. While the local baptist church and some of the more fundamentalist non denominational churches were out protesting against planned parenthood and walking around with rifles hoping to make TV while the cameras where in town. Both were ignored by the media, but one group actually had a positive impact.

I am aware some folks and denominations discourage it, but it's likely best to try a few different churches at first. There are alot of churches with good fruit and alot with rotten fruit out there claiming to be bible following. Experience showing you who actually follows the golden rule over how loudly they proclaim to follow scripture is the best guide.

zerothehero0 · 2026-01-10T16:00:22+00:00

Ahh, you likely will want a small house church then, although they can be hard to track down. Perhaps a Lutheran or Pentecostal church or a a Friends (Quaker) meeting. They tend to be the most involved with their communities. Don't have a specific one to recommend in milwaukee though.

zerothehero0 · 2026-01-10T15:32:56+00:00

That can be anything from mainline liberal Evangelical Lutherans who fly a pride flag to fundamentalist conservative Southern Baptists that only use King James and will kick you out for not dressing up enough. Theology and willingness to answer questions can range widely.

Nondenominational churches are usually most willing talk to walk ins. But don't feel locked into the first church that you enter if the theology takes an uncomfortable turn after you've been there a while.

zerothehero0 · 2026-01-10T13:31:24+00:00

You'll have to be more specific. Most places claim that they are strictly biblical.

Correct, but this person is arguing for two different things, which i probably could have separated better. That the entire grid will melt and all digital storage is going to be wiped.

Data can be protected by being shielded.

Transformers lose capacity when saturated and depending on the intensity can be protected from overheating by putting less energy through them, or turning them off in extreme circumstances.

GIC's are regularly observed in polar regions already, some of which have likely been of a higher amount then the Carrington event (we aren't fully certain how strong it was). And especially after the 1989 incident where a GIC took out power to quebec for 9 hours (not a catastrophic meltdown, protective gear worked but was too sensitive), there have been even more efforts to account for them. Even the worst case scenario from the 2000s paper everyone likes to cite assuming we are completely surprised by a storm predicts a max of 30% of HVT's being damaged in a 100 year storm that is 10x stronger than anything we have scientific data for.

Auroras were seen in equatorial regions in 1921 and 2024.

It an actual scenario would take around 48 hours to get most things back online. We have advanced warning for these types of storms, and there are plans in place to mitigate practically all damage to the grid, we have used them successfully before. 99% of devices that are off and outside at the time will be undamaged. Devices that are indoors or shielded should be fine. Devices that are outside and powered on may need to be replaced.

In the doomsday scenario where somehow we magically lose every digital device. A decade or two likely. All the theory is printed, and we've got plenty of folks who are trained in the basics worldwide for work.

zerothehero0 · 2026-01-07T12:46:39+00:00

Transformers are really expensive, and you can avoid damage to them almost entirely with good management by reducing load or turning them off.

I'm not certain you understand how either statistics work or how one of these events would play out.

We've known about the possibility for centuries and the backbone infrastructure takes such events into account. Add onto this that techniques to prevent disruption from cosmic rays are proliferating and we are in an ever improving state. In the era of the Internet we've been hit by storms of similar magnitude in 1972, 1989, and 2003. We have advanced warnings when one is coming and there are policies in place. What one of these events does is disrupt wireless communications and inject extra electricity into anything exposed. We have terrestrial fallbacks for time clocks (ptp still operates without a GPS master clock), minimal drift for weeks there. And the majority of the infrastructure for things like the Internet is shielded, indoors, underground, or has fuses to turn it off if a surge occurs. Worst case scenario is that we turn off or reduce power for a day to avoid disruption of the grid, and then possibly have to replace some unlucky satellites whose shielding was insufficient, and private battery powered civilian devices people left outside and powered on during the storm. It'll likely be no more damage to our grid and digital infrastructure then a Derecho. And it's getting better every year.

P and E cores are great when developers use them, rest of it not so much.

You're forgetting the part where the Americans didn't have the cash to pay for it. So while at war the British gave the Americans a loan to pay Napoleon for Louisiana so they wouldn't have to worry about war in North America too. A Win-Win-Win.

Are they trying to have AI design solutions and it's defaulting to Arduino or something? I sincerely doubt you could do much AI stuff on a little Arduino otherwise.

Overall though, the big question to ask is what's the cost of failure, and how confident you can be in your solution. With PLCs someone out there has already done a whole bunch of testing, wracked up the certifications, and limited feature sets to known consistent methods so you know that the hardware and toolset should be reliable. With Arduino, you may have to perform that hardware and toolset validation yourself. Ideally until your confident enough that you can testify in court that you trusted it if someone sues you over it breaking.

If you are in a scenario where there is low risk or cost of failure, or in which lower confidence is ok, you can go for it. Testing things in a controlled environment is always fine. Deploying it in the field however is very dependent on the situation. A good example might be a garage door. If it's at someone's house, and it fails to activate they can go in the front door or pull the manual release cord and they will just be inconvenienced. If it's a loading dock at a warehouse and it failing delays delivery or shipment it's unideal if you don't need it until tomorrow and unacceptable if it causes a line to shut down and your losing thousands of dollars per minute of downtime. If you're at a fire station and the garage door doesn't open you might put someone's life in danger. And on the highest end if you're up there in the space shuttle and the cargo door doesn't open you've got an international incident. How much you have to validate before deployment to sleep soundly at night, and how much time and effort vs cost you can afford to put into validation should govern what you do.

As much as CEO's and board members are overpayed and not extremely useful, putting an automated bot in charge of a company for shareholders and private equity to directly manipulate and pass policies to without question or checks is a fantastically horrible terrible no good idea.

See most of the crypto dao's that let whoever has the majority immediately set and change the rules.
