Consumers can buy similar off-the-shelf "smart" rifle scopes, marketed primarily for hunting:

>The Eliminator LaserScope is the most innovative and effective hunting riflescope in the world. With the push of a button, the Eliminator IV ranges and displays the distance to the target (factoring in angle). It instantly calculates and displays the exact aiming point and wind data all inside the scope for complete situational awareness.

>The built-in laser rangefinder is now capable of ranging out to 2,000 yards. Trajectory compensation is accurate at any magnification, and the integrated inclinometer compensates for shots at any uphill or downhill angle.

I don't understand how you can be surprised at a lack of customization options on an Apple OS. It's literally one of their selling points.
These articles are so plain, they don't explain context.

I'm not a foreign policy expert or historian but isn't there a rather recent change in foreign relations of Australia, meaning their strategic needs have changed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia%E2%80%93China_relati...

Or maybe it's just posturing.
I rather not discuss the whole conflict. The fact is though, that modern Iran has little to no history of military intervention* and at least no history to suggest that any (if any really exists) ambition towards acquiring nuclear weapons is anything more than sabre-rattling.

* Wikipedia comes up with the odd missile-strike against the islamic state.

Edit: There's a difference between financing terrorism/freedom fighters, which about every country in the region (and basically everybody else) does, and preparing a pre-emptive nuclear strike.
Yes fuel cell powered submarines always carry an onboard oxygen supply, either compressed gas or liquid. It's not practical to extract that much dissolved O2 from seawater.
Not in any obvious definite way if you're both above sustaining yourselves. I.e. if there is discretionary money (sourced from both parties) then what you say is only true if the decisions/compromises not in your favour outweigh your portion of the discretionary funds.

(...I don't want to spend my life thinking like this.)
Iran should have nuclear weapons if their citizens can be assassinated by foreign powers that proceed to brag about it openly. Imagine if the reverse happened - an Israeli scientist killed by Iranian special forces. The United States would be revving up for Iraq 2.0 in a matter of hours.
From personal experience, I no longer occasionally vomit from weed. I stopped smoking weed and only vape leaf at 360 degrees F, which avoids the benzene and other toxins that take more heat to vaporize.
What's the difference between "I chose X because I wanted it" and "I chose X because my brain was wired to want it"?
I kind of agree with this, but I've thought about it and it typically leads to an ugly sort of huxleyan society where most people wind up on drugs that are being provided by the government
I've never used a dating app, probably never will. I don't see the allure. It's like the fast food of human relationships - completely synthetic and made to fill a desire (in some cases). Not to mention the level of vanity in these apps.
I know your question was already answered at this point, but I'm using Namecheap for the domains I didn't have on Epik (mostly personal and some parked that I'm planning on building out eventually).

I've nothing but good things to say about Namecheap. Some of their employees post here from time to time and seem responsive to issues.
I would love to work on this, but indeed it won't happen without Apple's blessing. It would be terrific to work with them on this, though!
Ah, I think we disagree on the goals of wasm.

Yes, if you want to write a client-side webapp you run into limitations. That wasn't one of our main goals when we created wasm, though! It would be great if that materializes - more options are always good - but JavaScript is frankly the right tool for 99% of sites and we never intended wasm to directly compete with JS there.

Wasm is stable and mature for solving the needs of sites like Google Earth, Unity games, Figma, Meet, Zoom, etc. Those require more than what JS can offer and wasm is the perfect fit for the relevant parts of them.

On those websites wasm is often the difference between shipping and not shipping. That's a huge deal, and why wasm has been focused there. Other use cases like replacing JS with wasm might offer some benefits in speed, perhaps, but the impact of that would be smaller (but it could eventually apply to a wider set of sites, potentially).
Another thing, the `git stash` subcommands can operate on index as well.
But you wouldn't measure the living body. You would measure a frozen (that is, dead) one.

And even then your level of precision wouldn't be exact but subject to errors. Regardless how small your measurement errors might be, there cannot be such a thing as an identical copy.
No. If you don't have enough money to pay people, you don't have enough to start a company. That's fine! Just be realistic about it. Not everyone can or should be an entrepreneur.

I've met and mentored a lot of companies like that, and they're never able to find anyone good to build or sell the product because talented people want cash and equity.
Google doesn't just "see your IP" to sell you ads. They collect a lot more information about you than that, so I don't know why you consider your question to be more useful than the one you quoted.

Neither one provides enough information for the average person to give an informed answer. They're both equally biased/leading, but in opposite directions.
> 1. It can handle up to 650 Mbit if you use firewalling with iptables

Is that at 1.5 GHz?

I was surprised by how powerful Pi 4s are. At 2 GHz they'll do cake at gig.
I can agree with you except for the ballistic missile submarine. Mutually assured destruction is what keeps conflicts regional.
Pretty badass. Does it prevent more nuclear weapons? Yes? Win in my book.
That's very sad news... I think it'd already started to mutate back then in 2015-2016, but it was still possible to make and to discover a detailed user profiles, that actually allowed to get interested in a person.

On the other hand my internal entrepreneur says that it could be a great opportunity to launch okcupid2.0 given that there's an actual demand for this kind of site.
>been proven wrong time and again

Has it been proven? I'm not a malthusian at all and that argument drives me up the wall. However the best answer I can come up with is "capitalism is a brass-balled bet that we'll figure our problems out, and so far we have."
Bombing of the AMIA is one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMIA_bombing#:~:text=The%20AMI....

Burgas bus bombing is another: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Burgas_bus_bombing

Arms, money and support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad is another one (Hezbollah is practically an IRGC unit). Arming various militias in Iraq, Yemen and Syria against Israel and its allies.
My life is no longer compatible with Windows.
I'm more concerned about political bias in the scientific process at this point.
The Q references had me laughing pretty hard.
mind you BCP38 will do nothing against legitimate IP's used in DDoS attacks. (which are more and more common because of large botnets thanks to IoT devices and their abysmal security).
How bizarre for you to sidestep the issue and go after issues with the laws of Iran! In what country is it legal to assassinate a scientist?
I actually would appreciate if someone could explain what this is.
Don't really know how to feel about this.

On one hand, it could mean less collateral damage and fewer civilian casualties than drone strikes.

Just yesterday, the US had a drone strike that killed 10 civilians. The military and administration proceeded to lie about the strike and pretend they hit the target, but they were called out by the NY Times and had to backtrack.

We could see fewer civilian deaths with technology like this.

On the other hand, this could reduce the "barrier to action" that countries have before they attempt a targeted killing.

Which means even less "due process" for foreign internationals who are perceived to be enemies of the state. If the CIA thinks you're a threat, you're dead.

Let's ignore the question of how good the CIA is at intelligence-gathering.
> they may have even done a "remastered" re-release

Are you just guessing?
Was looking for that as well.

Also there should be another line with 'checkout -- <file>'.
> Actually, most of the time your VPN is just going to be blocked entirely by the service

Actually, my experience is Netflix blocks some of the time; Wikipedia blocks (edits) all of the time (which really pisses me off - I'm logged in!); and nothing else that I use blocks me.
Same here. Rancourt is another great one - they make their shoes in Maine and even offer custom shoes. I have a pair and they are amazing. Not as expensive as you’d think, either.
> Group of managers wanted to choose Oracle based technology for this that would further entrench their team and they argumented they can do it faster and cheaper than the development team.

That's true. Most Open Source solutions don't work on huge workloads. You can read about Hadoop at Facebook or MySQL. They fully rewrote MySQL engine and partially Hadoop. Oracle solutions work well on huge workloads.

This company is not a software developer. The software department is just another team inside the company. The first goal of any non-software company is to reduce costs for IT infrastructure and development. It's not Google or Facebook where software development is a key factor of company capitalization.

> Obviously, they were not interested in improving the product but in grabbing power, budget and control of the development process. Also they needed to score some points to show they accomplished something during calendar year.

Or just do their job: provides a reliable service for storing data. The main goal of the DB/SysAdmin department is to show 99.99% uptime. The software department could not guarantee this uptime. Of course, if all these software developers are good SRE that's another situation. But I'm sure no one has experience of supporting huge systems for years.

> So my actions angered both managers of database operations as well as development teams.

If you really want to change something it will be better to make a virtual team from both departments and discuss all pitfalls from both teams. Maybe you are solving non-existent problem.
i was starting to cobble together a project Eddystone (bluetooth le url beacon) dating profile, before google killed the android notifications for eddystone.

the inability to communicate digitally with those around us at a bar or at a park is pretty silly. it'd be so neat to start more ad-hoc, non-applicationized communications channels! and a chief use would definitely be, "hi, single and interested!"

was talking with someone yesterday about dating & they actually brought up dating & knowing people's availability, & tech for facilitating info exchange at a bar ornwhat not. which is a twist, because usually it's me semi-subtly wading into a discussion about p2p tech. latter in the conversation they brought up stoplight parties- using very visible clothing (red/yellow/green) to signal interest (no/maybe/yes). trying to think of more over real world ways to connect seems ultra interesting to me.
Yes and... a botnet controller simply doesn't care anyway. She or he isn't spending their own resources.
Why would you assume the bike thief doesn't have an iPhone?
I worked for a company where we hosted some stuff in China (on Alibaba Cloud) and we had to register there and get an ICP number (it stands for Internet Content Provider). It's obligatory to display it somewhere on the page.

Looking at Kraken contributors, they work for Alibaba, so it seems they host that website in China.
Even before the current rules partitioning cache by domain, has the promise of those cached scripts ever paid off? Even when every website would use just jQuery, everyone had a different version, getting it from a different CDN, etc...
Well, maybe if we actually did something about crime, life wouldn’t have to suck for so many people.
why? I'm newish to programming so this is over my head.
Most 'AI' is trivial. If spam detection had been invented today they'd call it "Spam AI".
Giving up on scale might be a good thing tbh. With scale comes a lot of noise. Also with it comes choice paralysis.

On noise, it's not uncommon to see less than 1% of male right swipes to turn into a match. As many here may know, this can be pretty emotionally taxing.

Then add on the choice problem. It's a well known psychological effect that too many choices can cause us feel bad about our choices. The classic example of this is with cereal in the grocery store. If you only have a few choices you pick one and think "I did the best I could" but if you have a hundred to choose from you'll think "maybe I could have done better" and doubt yourself even if you like the cereal. In relation to dating I think we end up judging a bit more than normal on first dates. I know I do. But first dates are often awkward and not a great indication of if you're a good match or not, unless there are major red flags.

I'll admit that I've had more success by being set up by friends. They know your personality, they know the other person's personality and if you will match. I think there's also a bit of pressure to go on a few dates and help get out of that awkward stage and really find out who the other person is.

But everyone has different takes. With scale one method might work well for some people and might not work for others. A wide array of tools is honestly the best because there never will be a singular solution for everyone. I think the major problem here is that were trying to turn all forms of dating into Tinder like and pretending like that's the only successful model.
The cost of inventory is a gamble that you'll be able to sell it. If that cost grows but the upside doesn't, you literally cannot afford to take the risk of buying inventory that you hope to sell.
If anything this story shows how powerful the military industrial complexes are (in France, in the US). The threat from China is speculative but the business opportunities for the military industry are quite real and massive in size.
"start reading them from the beginning. Just a few a morning for warmup while you drink your morning coffee and catch up on email."

How do you read PRs while you catch up on emails?

Not to discount the overall advice, but this statement is kind of weird.
Right but the actuator hardware stabilization includes a lot more like measuring and predicting preposition movements, calculating wind speed into the actuator, etc.

This system gives a shooter the calibration data and they can adapt second to second. Replicating a brain for a truck mounted gun with a 1.5s latency is a 10x magnitude of complexity
Haven't done much traditional networking for a few years so my knowledge is not that current.

They use bgp flowspec to send out filter lists using the bgp protocol to routers, essentially a long list of ACL rules with srcip dstip dstport. These routers can filter any amount of traffic it gets in hardware, so as long as your upstream (edge transit or peering links) are not full you won't even notice the ddos.

But you need something to analyse traffic that can understand which traffic is ddos and what is normal. We used devices from Arbor which are basically regular x86 servers. These devices also received netflow so whenever a ddos target received a lot of weird traffic (lots of DNS for example) it was configured to redirect all traffic for that IP to itself where it could gain a better understanding than what you can from netflow and either filtered it locally or sent out flowspec updates to filter it on routers. You could also enable this manually for non-volumetric ddos and do some filtering, but it's hard to do if it's encrypted and if they are abusing some http call that is just expensive to handle for the servers.
In many areas of the US, that trigger happy cop will be the difference between you recovering your property and you being severely beaten when you show up in a rough neighborhood trying to get your bike back.
If someone lifts the key they get perpetual access to your entire repo without any further need to have access to your machine. If they lift the repo then they get a snapshot of the branch(es) you have have in it at that moment in time - they'll need continued access to the machine if they want continued access to the data. There can be a nontrivial difference here right?
So people wanted employment rights etc, but didn't want to pay for it and as a result most goods where it is too costly are made were those rights don't apply. Monumental hypocrisy and a nuke in the foot...
An anti-Semitic, inaccurate trope. Israel had no horse in the Afghanistan fiasco, no interest in seeing Iran consume Iraq's power elite (status quo now), no love for Assad's continued reign in Syria, and zero interest in US interventions in Kosovo, Panama, Grenada, Vietnam or Korea. By contrast, Israeli lives sacrificed in Lebanon & Syria & on behalf of Jordan have spared the US any need to intervene significantly (if at all) in those countries. Not to mention Iran's expenditures to undermine Israel limits its ability to undermine the Gulf States.
I don't really "track" the books I'm reading, although I'm not sure what your precise definition of tracking is.

I know some folks use Goodreads. For me personally, I prefer reading physical books over ebooks. I read one book at a time, and no matter what all is on my plate, whether I'm traveling, extremely busy with work, tired, etc. – I always read before going to bed. It actually helps me fall asleep better, and my time laying in bed awake is much more productive getting through my books.
Robots. Environmental trade law.
You can't be serious. Iran is one of the most militarily active players in the Middle East. They usually don't do this through the Iranian military itself (other than wanting to send a message like the attack on Saudi Abaqiq facilities with cruise missiles in 2019 [0]). They use proxies, which receive funding, weapons, training and orders from Iran.
Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, various Iraqi and Syrian militas are all extensions of Iran itself and perform daily attacks.

If Iran could (i.e. had the technological capabilities to) meaningfully retaliate against Israel (without suffering too much consequences), they very likely would.
Were you under the impression that groups like Mossad, CIA, etc were law abiding groups? Their entire mission is to do illegal shit to forward their countries' national interest.

Virtually all of my shoes are American made, but they're all cowboy boots.
This is not electronics though. Nike et. al. are fundamentally and intimately aware and involved with all technical aspects of the design. The factories in Vietnam are not hiring long distance runners and putting up tracks, hiring PhDs to measure gate, develop new materials.

More obviously, Vietnamese factories cannot afford to hire Michael Jordan et. al. and the world's top Ad Agencies who actually drive sales.

Of all of the sectors that we should be concerned about, this one is not it.

1) Shoes are odd and there's no way we're going to make robots anytime soon to do all these nimble things that require hands.

2) Overseas makers don't have any technical leverage - and definitely not brand power - so it's unlikely they'll usurp the system.

3) It's not a strategic sector.

I don't think there's much we can do here.

I'd be more interested in high end robots to make cars and electronics cheaper.

Electronics is one area that we could endeavour to 'bring jobs back'. Shoes, not so much.

it's basically already accepted. Stage 3 means it's basically ready for a preview implementation and stage 4 means passed for "official" ecmascript inclusion
Very few doctors are in it strictly for the money.
Honestly it just sounds like he's outsourcing a match maker. There are professional match markers and they aren't uncommon. It's also pretty common for friends and family to play match maker. I'm not sure I'd use a professional match maker but this isn't too weird.
So if these are not "law abiding" groups, then by definition part of what they do is illegal. Which is the word I used in my comment.

I don't understand these replies.
The MRR Guide That Makes Sense
I don't know what do you like about the phrasing, but it's not really friendly. The word "oxidize" used like that is clearly a Rust community slang, so it signals that the author identifies with the (a?) Rust community, but it also has the effect of alienating those who are not members of the subculture.

Apart from that, I find it strange that people are so brazen with the whole "rewrite stuff in Rust" agenda.

If you can make shoes more cheaply, I am sure they are happy to manufacture with you instead.

However, making shoes more cheaply almost assuredly means finding a way to get rid of the human labour.
Pure curiosity yet incapable of the simplest of simple searches

You really ought to read up on the matter. Kursk was, on the onset, impossible odds. Yet the Wehrmacht inflicted massive casualties with relatively small own losses. If I am not mistaken, the level of destruction was not reached on a battlefield again until the first US-Iraq war.
Of course the German offensive didn't succeed, but the Russian counter offensive didn't, either. The whole thing was a total strategic Soviet success, but operationally and tactically it demonstrated the value of a mechanized, combined-arms firepower doctrine.
It is hard enough for the US and Russia to prevent accidental nuclear launch, detonation or loss. Many such incidents over the years. So, before you righteously wish nuclear capability on Iran, you might consider the non-linear increase in risks associated with each new entry into the nuclear club.
Yeah, my impression was that this was somewhat absurd in terms of what was being claimed versus what was actually done.

I'm probably much more sympathetic to traditional journalism than many, but there is definitely bias in media (conservative and liberal) and the way it operates is far more subtle and/or complex than anything examined in the article.
