Oh, that's a very specific crack. This is an extrusion error. The extrusion temperature is dropping too low while it's still over the internal die. The thicker peaks cool more slowly than the thinner flats, remaining at a weaker temperature longer, and they're pulled apart by accumulating contraction.
These cracks usually aren't obvious until they meet a conflicting load. For example, tapping threads up the end without supporting the work correctly. It's not like this is a load bearing part, they could get around this issue with a little care. Holding the work in a hex collet during tapping is cheap, adds efficiency, and would solve the problem. Sending feedback to the extruder is free and usually effective. Or maybe the product is moving well enough on brand equity that it's not worth bothering.
Reading summaries like this requires great skepticism. It's exceptionally difficult in this particular case to avoid directing results to arbitrary conclusions through cohort selection and grouping.
> analyzed IP address data in conjunction with LinkedIn data to cross-reference those working from home with those who formed new businesses. ... a title change and employment change on LinkedIn indicating a shift from being an employee to a founder.
Is this more likely to tell us something about the people and roles selected to work remotely, or an outcome of working remotely? At this scale the influences of each are absolutely inseparable. Do cohorts robustly account for education, experience, skillsets, tenure, etc.? The same values which improve one's ability to start a business strongly overlap with the considerations for employing someone remotely. I'm not saying they're comparing a "remote" cohort including developers to a "not remote" cohort including construction workers, but it's important to confirm.
It's always exciting to see this idea get revived for the first time in ninety years every ten years!
I've pedaled around on a couple variations of this design. Like everyone who had never ridden one but saw it on the internet, I also confidently imagined it would violently hurl me to the ground at the slightest provocation. I was wrong, which strangely seems to be a pattern for confident opinions I've formed based on things I've only seen on the internet. Having not been for a ride on this particular iteration, I will not post confident opinions about it on the internet.
The best (granted, of two...) version I've tried was semi-recumbent, with a standard geartrain and flevobike-style steering. The steering was a little weird at first, but I quickly figured out how to fully steer it hands free. Fully unloaded it was possible to tip it with hard front braking while turning, if you pitched your body weight into the effort. Loaded, it was absolutely nailed to the ground. You're just a mule winching a load down the road at that point. Sometimes it's fun to be a mule, piloting a weird bike-cart.
It turns out everyone flamewarring about stability on the internet forgot to get mad about drive wheel traction limits when pulling a load uphill. Which for me was a loading consideration rather than a problem. The underseat steering was brilliant for reasons I'd never thought about. But don't take my word for it, ride one and decide for yourself.
The same reasons convenience stores sell single cigarettes, and people smoke them in their cars. Compelling cravings don't care about your externalities and don't want to wait. Lots of people don't want the people they live with to know how much they actually consume. Some people live with others who don't allow beer in the fridge for various reasons. Some have a housemate who can't be trusted around a surplus. Lots of people like to think of themselves as the kind of person who doesn't need to have a whole pack around, they just want this one and maybe another one. Depending on who you're hanging out with, sometimes it's nice to go to a BYO party and not contribute a surplus if that would get abused. And as always, who said they waited to get started until they were driving home anyway?
They caught on, but with more appropriate stainless alloys. Columbus has XCr, Reynolds has 931. Either can be brazed, or silver soldered into lugs, or TIG welded. Cinelli does mass production of the bike you're describing, minus the lugs.
304 can't be optimized to a point it'll compete with the vast range of other stainless steels that already exist. Something else will always be more corrosion resistant, or stronger, or tougher. 304 exists on price. It's quick, common, and cheap. This process makes 304 expensive, uncommon, and slower to produce. The proven concept is what's carrying value here.
It's not working for me. I have those all unticked but if I create a new file and go to cell A1 and type 1/2, it puts 2-Jan in the cell rather than the text I want.
If I then put 60/100 in cell A2, it doesn't do any conversion.
Then put the formula "=Search("/", A1)" in cell B1 and copy that to cell B2, B1 evaluates to #VALUE! and B2 evaluates to 3.
You're not responding to the part where parent says the result is not 1/2 as in 0.5 but 2-Jan. The boobytrapped date parsing appears to be still happening even with "Automatic Data Conversions" disabled.
I understood that 1/2 converts to 2-Jan (or 1-Feb depending on settings).
That is desired behaviour. If you want the string 1/2 you need to use an apostrophe. If you want the fraction one half you need to use an equals sign. Both of these are vastly less likely to be what a user wants than the date interpretation, so it makes sense for that to be the default.
Not sure about an Excel workbook file like xlsx but for something like a CSV there is no way to attach that preference to the file so Excel will continue to mangle data as it always has unless everyone who touches it updates their settings.
The meaning of a value (data type in programming lingo) is not a preference because it is objective, not subjective. It depends on the cell being displayed, not on the viewer in front of the screen.
It's not a setting which determines how a value stored in a sheet is interpreted. It's a setting which determines how inputs are interpreted before being stored.
When you type eg "4/4", "4-Apr", "2025-04-04" or whatever, it is converted to a number based on your local date format. The cell has a date format applied to it so that the number appears as a date. If you send the sheet to someone else, it will display the same numeric value, using their settings to display it as a date.
But GP isn't talking about value, they are talking about process of entering the value, so that _their_ editor (Excel) wouldn't convert it to something weird.
More like I wrote some python code, and want to ensure the IDE doesn't change spaces to tabs. Night theme vs day theme is orthogonal to the code. Date parsing in Excel is not.
Well, no, it isn't because Excel actually changes the underlying data too. It's more like changing the formatting of all the files in the project and deleting all the characters after the 80th column.
I just tested it. The setting applies on data entry but opening a CSV or similar delimited file counts as “data entry”. So if you work strictly with xlsx files you are fine but it will irreversibly convert the values on open for delimited files unless you change the defaults.
Come on, there is no room for anyone to have a preference here when an excel document is meant to be storing the names of genes and would never need to have a date or time in it, and can very easily get corrupted beyond repair if someone turns date conversion on. (For context, genome research is the whole reason this toggle was added in the first place.) Even something like Vim lets you enforce file-specific settings with a header.
At the same time, we're clearly shooting ourselves in the foot by using Excel for this. This feature is just a hodge-podge solution to the problem of Excel not having strict data types. There should be enough cautionary tales (https://eusprig.org/research-info/horror-stories/) for everyone to know to avoid Excel.
Excel is not designed to waste the time of frequent, experienced users while hand-holding casual users. It's designed to make power users very fast and accurate while possibly confusing casual and new users.
This isn't about Amazon's retail inventory. This is inventory owned by vendors, held in Amazon's care. Think about how this would play out in a consignment shop.
In the case of a no fault accident like a fire, paying back a different amount might be negotiable. A customer causing loss of a product on consignment might or might not have a pursuable compensation path. Under these conditions, the consignor still has a duty of care for their consignee's inventory while it's in their possession. Negligence contributing to loss from external cause tends to undermine negotiation of liability.
A consignor's own processes breaking a consignee's product is none of those things. Attempting to lowball repayment of loss entirely due to the consignor's own equipment and activities should be laughable. Successfully doing so with "show us your books" while actively competing with consignee's product shouldn't be possible without substantial regulatory influence on competing markets to constrain alternatives. There is no reasonable, functioning marketplace where this is feasible.
Indeed. The response to breach of contract has no place in a contract. Breach of contract is explicitly an event outside the bounds of a contract. Defining penalties within the contract attempts to place those events and outcomes within the terms of the contract, and can grant the other party leverage to avoid legal remedies.
However, some terms can help encourage payment on schedule. Early payment discounts encourage inexperienced AP to pay early. Late payment penalties signal highly strategized AP as to when the cost of not paying will intersect with their retained time value of money. If the person paying the bills is directly related to an owner, then despite whatever is in the contract it's usually a matter of figuring out how to help them do their job.
This sounds like a case of AP putting off payment because someone knows about time value of money and doesn't view their relationship with the vendor as having value they can lose. Establish due diligence to collect first, then: A letter written by an attorney to their legal team is cheap and usually an effective nudge. Asking a court to compell payment consumes little time and is not expensive, despite their latency courts are impatient and want you to not burn hundreds of legal hours over this. Selling the invoice to collections is a thing, it's not so large a sum to make that hard. But most of all, hire a competent trained accountant who has zero relationship to anyone with equity, and listen to them.
The car impacted at a barrier splice which was not correctly joined. Barrier splices can come apart in the real world, but the fasteners will tear apart the sheet metal in the process. That splice gently deflected apart, like two sections of barrier were gently leaned against each other.
Two posts fall over on the initial impact, one on each side of the loose splice, without causing noticable specific damage to the car. The third post absolutely caved in the front end of the car before being violently bent down underneath, as properly anchored posts do in the real world.
This also isn't how this type of barrier is tested. "Barrier deflections listed below are results from crash tests with a 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) pickup truck traveling 100 km/h (62 mph), colliding with the rail at a 25-degree angle." More diverse testing done with seriousness would be a useful way to challenge if that standard continues to be appropriate, but this isn't it.
A thermal fuse isn't for overpressure control, it's intended to trip before a physical overpressure control vents superheated steam. Both provide failover redundancy independent of operational heater controls.
There isn't enough detail of the boiler to tell if there's an overpressure relief valve. The boiler can't be made safe without one. If they're cheap enough to be standard in cheap knockoff moka pots one should be here...
This machine's wiring diagram shows an unlabelled shape wired in series with what might possibly be the heating element and a shape with "ssr" in its label. Which places the first unlabelled shape in the right place to be a thermal fuse or switch. If they're cheap enough to be standard in Mr Coffee machines one should be here...
Safety discussion in this project is conspicuously absent. Knowledgable users shouldn't be making assumptions like this about safety features. Assumptions and safety aren't compatible. Average users should be informed in detail about the safety features they're tasked with assembling.
