You most likely aren’t going to be able to retain timestamps unless you permanently keep a Windows partition. Linux uses a different drive format and permission scheme. Structure, absolutely; timestamp and owners and other little Windows things, not realistic.

Also unless you back stuff up you run a risk of losing it. No way around that period.

The gist of what you’ll do is resize your Windows partition, create a new partition for a Linux install, and mount your Windows partition in Linux until you’re able to move data over. You probably want to dual boot at least until you’re sure Linux can properly access the data you need.

I came up with something that I called the Seba Technology Disruption Framework, which says that technology disruptions happen because of a combination, so a convergence of technology cost curves, business modelling innovation and product innovation, of which are enabled by this convergence of technologies

Essentially what I forecast as you know in Clean Disruption, was there were four technologies and one business model; solar, batteries, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and ride hailing that were disruptive in their own way, but combined would disrupt all of energy and transportation, that the disruption would be over by about 2030.

After that I decided to start a think tank called ReThinkX, because it turns out that my disruption framework does work, and it does work not just for energy and transportation, but also across the board. One of my hypotheses was that every single industry bar none, every single industry is going to be disrupted by this combination of technologies, and business modelling innovation and product innovation

We made the prediction that it was the convergence of autonomous electric and on demand transportation that would disrupt all of transportation, and the tipping point was going to be 2021. Essentially on the day that level 4 autonomous vehicles are approved and ready, which we assume will be 2021, the cost per mile of transportation will be 1/10th, 10 x cheaper than the cost of owning a car.

as the years went by and my numbers for solar, for batteries, for PVs and so-on, have proven to be right then they’re paying more attention. Essentially that has changed the whole narrative about how quickly this disruption is going to happen, that this is not an energy transition, that this is a disruption both energy and transportation

A really stupid fucking interview seven years ago

Don’t let a bunch of VC-bought, Silicon Valley capitalists ruin an ideology antithetical to their goals. Stay away from this “disruptive” bullshit.

If you didn’t care about what idiotic bullshit he spouted when he was making the Reddit podcast all about himself, you don’t need to care what idiotic bullshit he’s spouting now. He has a degree in history so he might have informed opinions there.

And that’s why native rights continue to be attacked even after recent surprising wins. The current court thinks treaties are bullshit and native rights have been getting fucked for a bit now.

2013-02-27 is also unambiguous unless you’re aware of a country that uses year day month, is not?

There are several people in the comments saying they have to use 27 Feb 2013 because they work with people all over the world. I’m really confused - what does that solve that 2013-02-13 does not? I know that not every language spells months the English way so “Dec” or “May” aren’t universal. Is there some country that regularly puts year day month that would break using ISO 8601 or RFC 3339?

I’d be curious to see a sorting algorithm that doesn’t handle YYYYY-MM-DD with YYYY-MM-DD properly. If you drop the dashes you still get a proper numeric order. If you sort by component, you still get the proper order. Maybe a string sort wouldn’t? Off the top of my head the languages I’m thinking either put longer strings later, giving us the proper order, or could put 1YYYY- ahead of 1YYY-M so maybe string sorting is the only one that’s out.

I do a lot of con/fair/vendor stuff and support. I have heard (but never done because that’s illegal) that among friends it’s very common to not check that flag to save those friends some headache. It’s also a really good way to get scammed if you do it for strangers on the internet.

I suspect that platforms push it down to the users to reduce their compliance burden. Why make life better for your end users by spending some money when you can just make life more complicated for small businesses by having them own everything even the things they don’t know about?

Not quite. The meme is referencing a new law that targets platforms when the money is sent as a payment. So, for example, if you Venmo your roommate 2k over a year for utilities, your roommate is fine unless you mark it as for a vendor (there’s a little toggle whose exact text I forget). This meme is making that joke.

Giving today’s AI slop coverage at all provides some bias for AI slop, especially if the coverage ends on any kind of positive note or doesn’t also highlight the extreme damages AI data centers cause. AI theory is all maths; AI practice (at least currently) is the widespread destruction of natural resources to increase the value of a handful of individuals solely on paper. Not explaining that makes it look good because why wouldn’t we improve AI relationships because the math looks solid! (Or whatever other example AI slop would provide if relationships doesn’t reasonate) There are recent videos of Hannah Fry explaining how to get value out of LLMs which doesn’t bode well.

Yeah, respec for a fee.

If the BL3 “balancing” shenanigans happen again, it would be best to wait a year or two to play BL4 so you know how Randy wants you to play the game and you won’t get frustrated when your single player build gets nerfed into oblivion.
