They can buy their own servers, routers ,switchers, firewalls, and storage, host in a datacenter (I've never heard of a colo space/REIT or a network provider disconnecting a racist terrorist for being a racist terrorist), setup their own BGP, DNS, DDOS mitigation (which would probably be the bulk of the hardware cost considering how much Trump and his supporters are hated).

Nobody can drive you from the internet, but they can increase the costs. Trump can afford to do this, but be real, this is just a publicity stunt, an old man calling for an ambulance not because he's sick but because he's sad and alone.

I get the reason to ban it, but why is the FCC driving this? Shouldn't this be in the wheelhouse of the DHS, FBI and NSA if the allegations are true? I would expect the FCC to intervene if the device is transmitting out of compliance and/or interfering with other devices.
I flagged it because the social media website doesn't seem to exist yet so all this is is a press release (nothing technical) and it's a press release about a particularly inflammatory person and concept
100% agreed. I don't like Trump or his political platform, but the way (social) media handled the last election is just as disagreeable.

There's an argument that corporations should not be forced to host content they don't agree with, but perhaps this just means that the social media landscape should be taken away from corporations and become something like a public good.

The moment big tech started curating what is available, they simultaneously opened a can of worms on censorship, and they also should've lost the safe harbor allowances.

We can't have unpopular opinions completely silenced if we are meant to have constructive discourse. Of course, if the objective is to build siloed echo chambers whose only interaction is borderline fanatic ripping at each other's throats, then the current trajectory is 100% on course.

Understanding and constructive discussion can only arise in an environment where we try to understand the opposition, instead of trying to silence them or find reasons to vilify them.

The main device life limit for most commercial aircraft is pressurization cycles. The DC-3 is unpressurized, which means that the service lifetime of the airframes is limited mostly by accumulated damage and availability of parts.
Willing to take credit sure, but what about the millions of deaths, where were the politicians when the 2nd wave hit and millions lost their lives (election duties and rallies right before).

Not even a single press conference was given when people needed some empathy, leadership or assurance. Imagine, the scenario in USA or Germany where thousands are dying every day, and the top brass of the country has nothing to say.

Every single one of those is in your drinking water, most of them are in your food. It's even worse if you live coastal on salt water where they recycle water often. No government attempts to remove these. This is the reason you need water filtration or pay for the giant water bottles. Also the reason why many countries don't even bother trying to make clean water. Dont drink the water in Mexico etcetc.

One thing to consider is that when IPv6 was invented, there wasn't nearly as big a userbase on IPv4 as there is now. At that time a clean-slate approach made more sense than it does now.

But yes these days things are different. And not all its features imagined to be big have panned out that way (and to be fair, even IPv4 contains several features which are no longer in use).
Not as far as I can see.

Learning something and pretending like you know it already are two goals that are very at odds with each other.

It's one of the things I felt got better when going from high school to university - in high school I felt like I needed to do both to get good grades (because of how much of your grade came from the teacher's impression of you) whereas in uni, I didn't have to bother and could just focus on learning.
Set aside the person and the name of the platform for a second.

There is a lot of technical baggage on all the social media platforms with how they implemented things like character limits, content auto-deletes, organization of content, etc.

How would you design a new social media platform now?
> In a slide deck on its website, the company envisions eventually competing against Amazon.com's AWS cloud service and Google Cloud.

I guess this means they plan on running the service in their own data centers from the beginning, either because they fear getting deplatformed or are just still too radioactive for any major platform to handle? The long-term vision of competing with AWS is obviously bullshit spun to justify the large initial capital outlay.

Just for fun, I looked up the most expensive Dell Precision Xeon laptop, which seems to be the Precision 7760 with a Xeon W-11955M.

With a GeekBench score of 1647 ST/9650 MT, this $5377.88 machine is just a bit faster than the passively cooled $999 MacBook Air with 1744 ST/7600 MT. The MacBook Pro 14" 10 core is better than the Dell Xeon in about every way, performance, price, performance per watt, etc.
When they do go up are they any easier to shutdown? I don't see how Gab going away time soon.

Exactly! We should practice being a beginner for our entire lives. It's a constant reminder to have that beginner mindset even where you think you are an expert.

I took up Jiu-Jitsu at age 40. Talk about humbling. I also catch myself occasionally doing what you did and mention how terrible I am/will be as a defensive mechanism.

But, the more comfortable I got at being a beginner led to even faster learning. This attitude has spread through other parts of my life, even areas where I'm not a beginner, and has led to improvement across the board.

There's a DC-3 near me that is/was being flown for short-hop cargo flights.

Unfortunately, some idiots decided to treat the plane like a jungle-gym one night, and ended up causing many thousands of dollars in damage to the plane...probably walking on parts of the wing they shouldn't, or something.

I haven't heard it pass over my house in quite some time, so I guess he never got it fixed up. I hope I'm wrong.
We've owned an EV for two years and charging at home has been a huge deal, especially for my SO.

She needs to get to bed early, so when hanging out with friends she hated having to go to the gas station on her way home. Often resulting in panic the next day. More than once she ran out of gas cause she forgot to look when driving off in the morning.

It takes about 3 seconds to plug in the car when we get back home, and we never have to worry about running out when we drive away in the morning.

Hydrogen would have to be significantly better in price and range to offset this for our future vehicle purchase. A mere 2x range increase over pure EV won't cut it.
They're all operated by partners. Flixbus only owns a single bus they use for PR purposes.
I have encountered both, I'm sort of leaning towards being charitable since the "just asking questions" crowd tends not to write articles about their behaviour!

That lack of transparency seems to be a theme. I have difficulty with blood draws as well and I have never encountered a health care professional that didn't immediately switch to "ok, which arm is usually best" mode.

Some countries even still use it for military service, such as South Africa, which has a handful of examples re-engined with turboprop engines for maritime patrol use.
Not all. Navarre was out, then it was conquered in 1512. And yet, it was not fully integrated into Spain. They had their own currency and customs. Also, they had no military service duties.
That until mid 1800s.
Thanks to Drumpf's efforts, the Taliban is now accepted as a legitimate government. Why would they be de-platformed as long as they follow Twitter's rules?

Hell, even Taliban recruiting online is now officially no different than the JDF or the USMC recruiting online. Just another government recruiting for their army.

As long as they aren't preaching/encouraging violence (besides recruiting for their military), or preaching hatred, then they are within the terms of service.
Wow here in Spain it's the opposite. My provider (JazzTel, part of Orange) still does only IPv4. IPv6 isn't even available if I'd want it. Not that I do, really.. there's no need yet

I also learned about the concept of pressure curves, and that they're really annoying both to implement and to get right: https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/2619, https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/pull/2622, https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/1170

The two one-liners above to convert pressure to lineWidth are the result of playing around with no idea what I'm doing for a few minutes. They... work, in the sense that I can tolerate them for about 30 seconds :) but I keep playing with them because they don't "click". I wouldn't mind suggestions for how to actually do this (my google-fu isn't finding anything, likely because I don't know what to look for). I had a poke around Krita, but only found C++ abstractions.

I also stumbled on http://willowsystems.github.io/jSignature/#/about/linesmooth..., which is an awesome looking bit of open source code. It implements both realtime curve extrapolation and pressure approximation for devices/environments that don't report that.

But that's mostly phenomenon of this new smartphone era. That market used to be completely dominated by 8bit or 16bit Atmels and PICs (an probably still is, but ARM is gaining market share fast).
> You can only mature the calves if you can spare the milk, and you get a lot more calories from just drinking the milk.

Perhaps in the short term. But after 10 weeks calves exclusively eat grass. And after a year on grass the riginal 10 week dairy calorie investment is dwarfed by the beef fat calories produced.

I think it comes down to land costs and labour costs. Most Irish land is only suitable for livestock. Rough grassland is cheap. And hand milking is labor intensive. The Dexter cattle breed originated in Ireland, is suitable for both dairy and beef, and is tough enough for harsh conditions. Scaling up on beef male cattle makes sense if the grassland is available.

The Miyawaki Method [pdf]
Given the development of FlixBus / MeinFernbus over the past 10 years here in Germany, I would expect them to massively expand the network very quickly.

There was an interview with one of the founders, André Schwämmlein, in the FAZ a few weeks ago in which he talked about his vision for the US to become the biggest market for them [0].

Google translate version:

> FAZ: In the US, greyhound has been synonymous with intercity buses for a century. Should the Americans think of the green Flix logo instead of a greyhound when it comes to bus transport?

[...]

> Schwämmlein: We are now bringing a lot of young people to the bus, for whom traveling by bus was not an option before. However, the image of many providers in the USA is not where it should be. We want to show people that the bus is an attractive alternative to the car. It WILL, of course, take a long time to grow in, given the size of the country. But our ambition is to see FlixBuses in Hollywood films at some point.

> FAZ: And in the sparsely populated Midwest?

> Schwämmlein: There is certainly still potential for the future. In the core relations in particular, we already aim to be the market leader in the near future.

> FAZ: What do you do differently than the established providers?

> Schwämmlein: It's about customer orientation in connections and stops. In L.A., most providers have one, two, or three stops - we have ten and we stop at universities, for example. Or in Vegas on the Strip and again in Downtown. We think of networks differently - not in terms of operation, but rather on the basis of the customer. If people want to drive from L.A. to Vegas on Friday afternoons to party, then the timetable has to map that with more trips instead of driving every hour all week when demand is significantly lower. The passenger determines the timetable.

> FAZ: Will America one day become the biggest market for FlixBus?

> Schwämmlein: It is very clear that this will happen within the next few years. In terms of potential, it can even be expected that it will be as big as all of Europe.

Mac Pro is supposed to be expandable.

The most elegant solution would be to have a motherboard with cartridges. You're buying as many CPU/GPU/AI/RAM/SSD modules as you like and getting anything you want. Wanna crazy build farm? Put plenty of CPUs and some RAM. Wanna GPU farm? You've got it. Want terabytes of RAM? No problem.

Not sure if it's possible to implement. But I'd love to see it done this way.
I get it. I see no room to be perplexed since he explained it.

Aside from that, in general, requiring a student to do without a magic tool so they are forced to percieve and understand some fundamental that the magic tool hides, is hardly a new or perplexing concept. Otherwise, you get exactly what he just said, they got.
tl;dr, but it reminded me of the "big" news yesterday that via ML you can guess bank ATM codes from shielded hand movements. Reading down, it turned out you could guess 30% after the 3 try limit imposed by the machines. Not terrible, but completely impractical unless you steal a LOT of bank cards.
Probably due in large part to WordPress

Spain is not tropical. It has three main climates:

- Atlantic. Windy and coldish climate, with lots of rain. Like the UK, or worse.

- Continental Mediterranean. Hot Summers (over 40c) and cold Winters (below 0).

- Mediterranean. Overall a warm climate with a few days of slight cold in Winter, with OFC some spots of cold winter depending on the location.

- On top of that, the mountain climate, chill and always snowy in winter.

Then the Archipielagos (Canaries/Balearics) are their own thing, and Iberia has several distint microclimates and terrains everywhere because the highly mountainous orography distorts the overall climates a lot.

Think of Spain as a micro-condensed US, where you have near every climate in the Earth.

I was curious how the solar storm giving radiocarbon works. It seems approx:

In the storm the sun chucks out hydrogen and helium ions.

>It is not uncommon for [these] to collide with an atom in the atmosphere, creating a secondary cosmic ray in the form of an energetic neutron, and for these energetic neutrons to collide with nitrogen atoms. When the neutron collides, a nitrogen-14 (seven protons, seven neutrons) atom turns into a carbon-14 atom (six protons, eight neutrons) and a hydrogen atom (one proton, zero neutrons).
So does big business :)

There is a pretty well known speaker who wrote about his first public speech. He was to record himself, and it would listened to by some 5,000 people. He spent hours and hours re-recording himself, until a older friend stopped by and laughed at him, as follows:

"You are being nervous because you think that you might not be perfect, and doubt creates a feeling of nervousness and unsurety.

Well, I can dispel the doubt. You won't be perfect. In fact, you will be pretty lousy, because it is your first time, and it it is in front of a relatively large crowd.

So two pieces of good news. You needn't be nervous. And its not so bad that it will go lousy. Because everyone knows it is your first time, anyway, and they are expecting you to mess up. And this way, in the future, you will actually be great!"

A lot of wisdom there, IMHO
