I’m not clear on what that has to do with this? I get the Constitution aspect, but the military?

The Posse Comitatus and Insurrection Acts severely limit the use of US military force domestically. Yes the US police forces have been militarized and yes the governors of each state can call up the National Guard, and yes both acts can be repealed by Congress, but I just feel like it’s shortsighted to think that if this kind of scenario were to happen there wouldn’t be at least a few states whose governors would be going along with it.

All of the ex-military folks I know are also the last people I would expect to blindly be going along with the military just because that’s what was ordered, they’ve served their time and now they make up their own minds.

But my primary motivation—the one that finally overrode my aversion to risk and pushed me to give notice before I could line up another job

I quit my job a month ago or so, citing burnout.

They one thing the majority of my co-workers couldn't wrap their heads around was that I had nothing else waiting for me and made a point out of it. Some said they envied me, because they didn't have enough savings to pull something like that.

And this made me think, because not having anything lined up beforehand was my rule which I broke for the first time by applying to this company, and in hindsight it was a bad move.

Are we all "running on fumes" to such an extent, that no-one can afford a few weeks without a job?
Among other things, one would certainly have to exclude any country which engages in the mass collection and permanent storage of all of its citizens' communications.

Egalitarian homosexuality is a very modern notion, which was first explicitly formulated around the late 19th century. What the Greeks and Romans practiced was dominance-based same-sex behavior which very often shaded into outright sexual coercion of the "receiving" partner. (To be fair, this describes much of their 'heterosexual' behavior as well!) Many philosophically-minded people in the classical world were quite harshly critical of these arrangements, and this attitude in turn was picked up by "universalizing", loosely-egalitarian religions such as Pauline Christianity.

Hello all!

I was sick of waiting for the arp / nmap commands to work single-threaded to find the raspberry pi's on my network.

Also, arp only works for devices you have seen previously, so you could easily miss things.

I posted benchmarks on the readme. Interested in feedback, suggestions, and please pull requests if you want to help improve it. Installs via pip and python 3x only! PS - since I am lazy, it also auto-suggests the network range you are connected to to be the network it searches, so you don't have to type it in.
The US specialized in medical quackery for a hundred years, so there are direct restrictions on speech around claiming medical benefits. The free speech laws permit that, as IIRC societal welfare trumps your right to claim that (for example) mercury and cocaine soda will cure all ills.

EDIT: Commenters are right, you have to try to profit to be prosecuted. If you give away poison and call it a cure, as long as you have no benefit whatsoever, you're technically safe. Yippee.
Because thats where their social network is.
>such as coating the rebar in epoxy

Actually epoxy coated rebar has pretty major debonding issues in practice. If the epoxy coating was continuous then sure, but realistically during bending, cutting, tying, etc you're basically guaranteed to introduce scratches through that thin epoxy layer and once that steel starts rusting it'll tend to spread under the surface causing more cracks in the epoxy and allowing more corrosion.

The abstract of this report shows that epoxy coated rebar performs rather poorly. http://www.virginiadot.org/vtrc/main/online_reports/pdf/00-r...

>Adhesion loss of the epoxy coating to the steel surface was detected in all but one deck
that was 4 years old and older. The epoxy coatings were debonding from the reinforcing bars.
Whereas a bonded coating can be expected to protect the steel, a debonded coating allows
chlorides, moisture, and oxygen to reach the steel and initiate a rapid corrosion mechanism.
Reinforcing bars in various stages of adhesion loss showed visible signs of a corrosion process
underneath the coating, suggesting that ECR will provide little or no additional service life for
concrete bridge decks in comparison to bare steel. Other systems that will provide longer
protection against chloride-induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel with a higher degree of
reliability should be considered.

With smaller devices like laptops and netbooks (along with smartphones) becoming increasingly popular, Stadia caters to people who don't want to invest in a second device just for gaming. I know several people who only own a laptop and are interested in this service; I'm sure the market is there.

The main challenge, though, is that they are late to the competition -- NVIDIA GeForce NOW seems much more mature (the aforementioned people are already using their beta) and it's not clear what Stadia brings to the table that NVIDIA can't do better (since they make the consumer GPUs).

Also, I think Google messed up by focusing on the Stadia controller and other physical devices; that's exactly what people don't want, to purchase more devices. And I read through their FAQ and don't even understand whether you need the controller to use Stadia. If it's actually required, that's ridiculous.
pfft. its carefully targeted to children and the young. it's even more ephemeral than twitter. there is no "community" behind it.. its purely entertainment.

It'll die off. it has nothing to build on.
I think Stadia being shut down is a near certainty (and the GP comments' 3-4 years is very optimistic for how long it might survive), but I think that Stadia owners losing their games is fairly unlikely. When other digital services with purchases have shut down, there's often some attempt to offer a migration for user licenses. (I've watched Ultraviolet and Flixster's shutdowns and the like of late.) The game studios partnering with Google would be extremely upset for their customers to be dropped, and I'd especially expect games like Destiny 2 to cleanly migrate a user's data and progress to playing on another platform.

Even when Google shut down their Assassin's Creed demo of Stadia's technology, which was free, they gave everyone a game key to redeem on Steam at the end, so my guess is that's what would happen in a Stadia shutdown.

The most likely "loss" is from the hardware purchases, though Google has hedged here a bit on the fact that a Chromecast Ultra will still be useful post-Stadia. Even the controller might not go to waste if it works as a generic PC game controller.
I would argue that, and it allows them to reuse idle resources. Instead of everyone having to buy their own game console or pc which sits idle most of the time, google only needs to buy enough for peak demand and then they can use the idle resources for their own purposes when not in demand.
Or they never had any strong charges to begin with and the whole plan was to hand over Assange to the US, just Assange said.

My impression is that it is a quick, simple, but extremely effective medium for artistic expression.

In a sense it is very pure; it is not about anything specific and, more importantly, it is not about showing a fake, happy, successful version of yourself.

While I am too old to participate in it, as a medium it looks more healthy in term of living with your online persona (compared to insta-models and travel vlogging).

The reason to create an account would be not to watch videos but to make videos. In that tiktok feels a bit like a teenager version of a twitter, youtube chimera.

Map licensing is very tricky. Typically "open" government mapping data is incompatible with both openstreetmap and free Google/apple maps.

Also, governments tend to be bad at mapping things they own. The guy who mows the grass knows where it is, so they don't spend money to make a map of it.
There's already a bunch of gaming computer providers like Parsec and Vortex, what does Stadia bring to the table? Personally I doubt the decision makers involved play games more twitch-based than Civilization. For fighting and rhythm games, being meters too far away from the game system makes latency annoying, let alone 200ms away! Even a game server at every residential zone and apartment block would not be better than a potato machine a foot away.

Cynically, it looks like they're trying to swallow that market whole, betting they have more money on hand to price themselves artificially low to carpet-bomb the small cloud gaming market.

EDIT: Something I forgot to mention, Parsec already works with the games you own anywhere else, and on a crappy Android tablet. What Stadia looks like its selling is increased latency, plus a walled garden store, plus necessary custom hardware.

Unless Google is giving away the hardware you need to play, I can't see this being price competitive next to a Nintendo Switch, and the latter needs no Internet connection at all.

Reminds me of annecdote of old tax policies on things like silverware and the difficulty in believing and searches from one austere preacher who anomalously for his station didn't own a single set. And others like the tax on windows which lead to boarding up of windows in slums and became derided as a tax on light and air.

The answer seems to be that how well it works varies heavily on what the asset.
I saw videos of Chile in the last month that had uniform military and non-uniform officials murder citizens. One specifically was a plain cloths man that walked out of a clearly government building with a carbine, shot into a crowd of 6-8 people, dropped a couple and walked back inside.

Why aren’t Americans “rising up” like in Chile? Let me know when you see that scene in the USA.

You may find some cheap Chinese "body massage" vibrating devices with adjustable speed settings, probably in pink.

You can agree with that or not morally, but it is by definition a tax on already legal (and taxed during income) money.

The "rule of law" isn't about individual citizens submitting to the system.

It's about the people in power following a standardised process based on the crime that was supposedly committed, and being applied uniformly, vs the "rule of man" where things are handled on an adhoc manner based on who's in power and who's being charged.

The system can be breaching the "rule of law", not the individuals targeted by that system.
the exact next line is rather underwhelming:

> This shifting reduces corporate income tax revenue by nearly $200 billion, or 10% of global corporate tax receipts.

Companies sometimes have to shift profits through tax heavens because many 'proper' countries are too bureaucratic when it comes to things like IP or international profits handling. "Multinational" no longer means that it's a megacorp - we live in a connected globe. Perhaps we should talk about why tax compliance is such a big burden for mid-size businesses.

Bandwidth isn't the problem. Latency is. Multiple gigabits of bandwidth won't help you when it takes half a second for your character to start jumping after you hit the button.
It's funny how often I have experienced 30 to 300 ms between a computer or game console and the display.

I have a Alienware "gaming" laptop where the built-in screen lags about 30 ms relative to most monitors I plug it into. I have a video to prove it where I am duplicating the screen and running a clock.

When I was playing League of Legends it seemed to me that I just couldn't win when I was using the built-in monitor but then the game got a lot easier when I used an external monitor.

I had a similar experience with much worse latency playing Titanfall on an XBox plugged into a Samsung TV. When I switched it to "Game Mode" I suddenly started moving up the ranks.

It's an issue that people are surprisingly oblivious to, but fast reaction doesn't matter much for single player games and when people lose at multi player games they just blame themselves.

> The sexual freedom of the Romans of the Roman Empire did not exist in the Romans that BUILT that Roman empire. They were, although the same blood, different peoples.

Not exactly the same blood; the Empire included a lot of territory outside Italy. Imperial Rome itself received a lot of population from foreign territories (it was an important place!), especially the East where most of the population was.

The rural Italians near Rome were more or less the same during the Empire as they were during the building process.

As a total outsider, I will refrain from making any judgements on any side of the Tamil separatist divide. However, this statement is a pretty direct representation of the human and reputational cost of powerful countries in general, and of Western democracies specifically, providing a poor example on the world stage.

This type of reporting is as old as the field; it's today's equivalent of "street reporting", where a reporter fields questions to people walking to work downtown their opinions on things. This isn't a scientific study, they don't have to have a complete consensus to report on what some Fitbit users are doing. Grow up.
Yes, there should be a threshold. Otherwise the newspaper is gonna be full of articles which are not interesting at all to the general population.
The biggest advantage that GeForce NOW has is that it just runs regular PC executables. Games for Stadia need to be compiled specifically for Stadia, and I have no idea why developers would spend the time and money building yet another version of their games, unless Stadia turns out to be incredibly popular or Google throws a lot of money at them.

Back when I originally started using Amazon it got me in the habit of not checking prices elsewhere because Amazon was usually the cheapest, and that was also before I started having to pay my states sales tax. Nowadays, I find the prices are generally not very good, not to mention all the other issues Amazon has, so I do compare prices with other sites before making any purchases. However, I imagine a lot of customers never broke their habit of just purchasing without checking elsewhere which has likely contributed to this.
That doesn't appear to be the case.

I want Stadia. I've read reviews yesterday and was amazed by the lack of a long term vision from the reviewers. If Google doesn't drop the ball (which is a huge if knowing the company's history), Stadia makes a lot of sense.

I want to play Red Dead Redemption 2, the cheapest way to do that as I don't have a console nor an expensive computer is Stadia. And when I will want to play Cyberpunk 2077, Stadia will be the cheapest option - again. It will be the most enjoyable option too: no installation, no upgrade, I can just play. Last but not least: apart from the Switch, consoles force me to use a TV, Stadia will be usable on my Mac in the kitchen or the bedroom.

As someone who stopped playing after high school, Stadia is the first offering that matches my needs of a Netflix for games. I don't care if gamers nor teenagers want it, as long as developers make money and people like me use it the business model will work.
