Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman just completed a ride from South America to Alaska on electric motorcycles. They had some Rivian electric support vehicles carrying charged batteries, and also people along their route often let them top off their bikes while hosting them. They'll be making their trip into a web series called Long Way Up (the third in a series of trip blogs they've done over the past 15 years)

Short explanation on how AMD got Ryzen to beat Intel
I think it really depends on foundries. For klim and commercial type are example of famous, older, established foundries. There are many foundries with more permissive licenses. For example fonts.floriankarsten.com has weblicense that is not tied to domain but only total monthly views with generous 50k month its perfect for many small and hobby projects especially of some other project pays for license. I have feeling the type market is going to be really disrupted by new small foundries. There just too many newcomers and it became quite a bit easier technically to make fonts.

Melzer was pretty specific and his concerns are not just about "access to legal counsel".

> «He continues to be detained under oppressive conditions of isolation and surveillance, not justified by his detention status,” said Melzer

Melzer fairly clearly states that he believes there is credible evidence that Assange has been subjected to psychological torture.
Both are acceptable as you can think of a company as a singular entity or as a group or many parts.

‘It’s as if I’m falling from a 50-storey building’: a year without sleep
Thanks for the quick link. Complaining about a web page not working with js disabled is just noise, especially on a 'made with {framework}' post.
Maybe 10 years ago, but these days just about every Internet-connected device talks constantly.

So they would have to be not home, and not leave any IoT device on when away. Of course this happens, but is probably very rare in the evenings (and at night).
I don't know how this system works but US hypersonic missile designs suggest how it could work without requiring radio signals. Inertial guidance gets you into the general area of the target, at which point you switch to active terminal guidance i.e. the missile can identify and maneuver toward the selected target.

This is much more difficult than it sounds. At hypersonic velocities, your entire terminal guidance system is being actively destroyed by atmospheric ablation. Decades of research went into how to make a terminal guidance system that survived just long enough while retaining sufficient precision of control to hit the target. It is an exotic materials science problem.
I'm 19 so the bar for "impact on my life" is relatively low, but probably choosing to cold-email a bunch of startup CEOs whose emails I guessed at the start of 2019. It got me my first SWE internship, which helped me get full-time positions afterwards.
Well, my wording was a little imprecise. Plasma stealth as a physical concept is real, there's little doubt about that. I wasn't aware of the linked application (that's so cool! Thanks for sharing), but I would argue that that demonstrates a limited application of plasma stealth (rear aspect and plume RCS reduciton). Typical claims of plasma stealth involve somehow cloaking the entire fuselage and providing all-aspect stealth.

I guess what I was trying to get at is that western sources typically downplay the threat posed by any mention of plasma stealth, typically usually some combination of "we don't actually know if their systems use plasma stealth in a meaningful manner" and "even if they did, we don't believe that it poses of a significant threat".

It never became a top priority for the Swedish state. But since he fled to the Ecuadorian embassy the investigation just dragged on. This was never a high priority case other than for the press. And as soon as he could be inteterogated the investigation was closed.
He is and has been mistreated in may ways, but the accusations of sexual assault in Sweden was not part of some US lead conspiracy against him.

Also it's quite secure since file content is clearly mapped to the URL you're sharing with the other party via independent channel and the receiving party can verify the content of the file.

It may not be completely private if VPS does not run on your own HW, but nothing prevents you from running it on your own HW in your secured location.

You can use this on windows the same way you'd use it on Linux. You just install a bunch of programs and run commands from command line. (basically just like you'd need to do with fsend) It's less hassle on Linux, since the commands are pre-installed. Fsend is more hassle on Linux since it's not preinstalled and requires rust, compilation, etc.

The other people just open a https links and download files in any browser or via curl, no tools required at all, not even JS.
Not that it improves the condition, but psychosis leading to violent outbursts could be used to justify it. Anti-psychotics are also usually sedative in nature, which would explain the rest.
Thousands of miles with refueling- mine gets 200-220 miles out of a single tank. There are aftermarket DRZ tanks that can get 500 miles of range, they essentially replace both your tank and some of your body panels.

They're not that hard to pick up with the right technique/leverage. YouTube has tutorials showing tiny women pick up 800lb bikes, and MOTOTREK has a good video on how to pick up a big bike off of dirt or mud.
No, you make a small web app. It doesn't have to be a big project, but it should be something that benefits from what the framework can deliver. This doesn't.

If you're "exploring game engines" making a resume with one is probably not what you should reach for and if you're "exploring DAWs" your testbed shouldn't be generating a pure sine wave.

This sort of site is the opposite of a perfect testbed for a framework. This sort of site doesn't need JS, it doesn't need a framework, it barely needs CSS.

Political opinions aren't a straight line, as much as we like to pretend it is.
This is the best answer (but still incredibly, incredibly sad)
It is simple. Never ever connect the TV to the internet. Use a third party box (or computer) you trust to handle the streaming connection. Apple has fairly reasonable privacy policies for Apple TV. Other boxes may as well.

Related anecdote. My TV needed an update via internet. I noticed that there was no way to delete a wifi password, meaning once connected it was game over. The only solution was to setup temporary wifi credentials, do the update, then change the router credentials again.

The TV also asks for wifi credentials to show you help pages. So, enable help and game over for connectivity and privacy. Nice.

The information is all out there. Books have been written about it, and you are welcome to read them.

By the way, I've posted 3 substantive links in this very comment chain, and if there's ever been a single shred of evidence to support the claim that Assange is an asset, I've never seen it. You know that claim by the Guardian was shown to be a flat lie, right?

Is there much use of fluorescent colors that work in car headlights? For signs and markings, reflective paints seem to be more effective in showing up under headlights, particularly as the light is directed back towards the source, rather than scattered widely.

The article below describes the benefit of fluorescent dyes under weak natural light, as they can use the UV component of natural light to increase the amount of visible light reflected. Downshifting visible light to a longer wavelength, which is what fluorescence excited by visible light would do, would reduce the intensity of the reflected light.

Locking your content out of a country because you don’t care enough to make a monetization deal there, sure.
You’re moving your own goal post. You complained about the government’s relatively small outputs from the student loan program, which is absolutely recouped many times over by today’s income premium, in the form of income taxes, regardless of whether the economy grows.

Your hypothetical isn’t the way things are actually playing out, so I don’t feel like it needs to be argued. Degree holders are generating value on average, so the economy does, in fact, have more money as a result of education. And the government also makes money on it’s investment in education on top of that.

All ICBM reach near-orbital velocities (~7.8 km/s, ~17,000 mph, ~Mach 23), including the Russian R-7 (the world's first ICBM in 1957) and the modern ICBMs on which Russia's Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle will ride. This is only possible while outside the atmosphere.

The difference is that the traditional re-entry vehicles quickly slow down to mere supersonic speeds (Mach 1-5) when they re-enter the atmosphere, making them somewhat more vulnerable on final approach. Hypersonic glide vehicles, in contrast, maintain hypersonic speeds (Mach 5-10) until very late.
> while for motorcycles they have only improved substantially in 2010s with the EU mandating ABS as a requirement.

I really wish it were possible to get advanced cornering ABS on something that isn’t a bajillion cc displacement. The smallest, most reasonably sized adventure touring bike I’ve seen with cornering ABS is the new BMW F750GS, which is still >800cc. I sat on one the other day and the weight and height seemed manageable, but what I’d love is a 650cc or smaller Japanese bike where I could get advanced safety tech. I mean, these bikes are where a lot of new riders like myself start, and attract exactly the sort of rider who is likely to do something stupid and reactionary in a corner.

I have ABS on my 500cc Honda, which is honestly as big a bike as I’d have wanted to start on, and I’d have happily parted with the extra dollars for cornering ABS and traction control had they been options. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the best life-saving tech isn’t at least an option on beginner-sized bikes.

Pardon for the tangent rant :-)

The most detailed, nuanced account of Assange I've seen is this one[0] by Andrew O'Hagan (an author hired to ghostwrite Assange's autobiography who spent a year or so in and out of his orbit). And it's hard to square that account with the image of Assange as a journalist who's being persecuted for the truths he's shared.

Though O'Hagan is sympathetic in many ways he doesn't sugarcoat anything, and I came away with the impression that Assange is the author of a great deal of his own woes. (Among other things, much of the account involves Assange lying pretty incessantly, even to his closest allies about petty dramas, so I now find it hard to take anything he's said at face value.)

Edit to add: there's a quoted exchange in the account, which now springs to mind every time I hear about Assange.

> There are few subjects on which Julian would be reluctant to take what you might call a paternalistic position, but over Snowden, whom he’s never met but has chatted with and feels largely responsible for, he expressed a kind of irritable admiration. "Just how good is he?" I asked.

> "In the world? Among computer hackers? And where are you?"

> "I’m number three."

> no, that’s completely wrong. You are confusing averages and conditional probabilities. On average, those from higher classes may do better - that doesn’t mean that a kid from s lower social class should take that as guidance.

??? You're saying that someone should not consider the outcome distribution of people similarly situated to themselves when making a choice? Isn't that completely rejecting empiricism?

If, from a public policy standpoint, our effort has been to get to the poor to college to end poverty; and the educated poor do do better with education, but not nearly as well as their middle-class cohort; and the present-value of education is smaller than the present-value of their lifetime wage increases-- one has to question whether the policy is well informed.

If you're asserting that the picture is unduly distorted by those at the very highest spread of the income distribution-- you're right. But the effect is still when we look at median outcomes.

> Some of these differences are probably innate. A brain surgeon is likely smart and his kids are probably also smart.

Presumably we'd be able to measure this and control for this.

> Some, but most are due to informational deficiencies and networking effects.

Yes, and various kinds of cultural cues about class of upbringing that persist after education and act to limit opportunity.

No, that’s not true, you’re missing a very important point. Taxes come out of income, they aren’t extracted after you control for everything, they are extracted on your income, and the income for 4-year degree holders is 2x the income of non-degree holders on average.

Wait until 5G rolls out into mass adoption where an IoT modem is built into every TV for “diagnostics”
At least on my desktop machine, there aren't a whole lot of services that directly depend on other services. Usually, a service will provide some functionality (e.g. sound) used by applications I launch. As far as I know, systemd doesn't help with that, and I don't really want it to--imagine if systemd suddenly killed and restarted your browser!

Also, maybe I'm just lucky (or using popular hardware, or something), but services on my machine don't just randomly die for no reason. NetworkManager, sshd, etc all seem pretty well-written and stable.
