I've bought a few MRE components by the case (100 units per case, or thereabouts, IIRC) that were identical to what was in the contemporaneous MREs. I would assume that these are coming directly from the upstream vendors supplying the company with the MRE contract.
I wonder if there's a targeted misinformation campaign.

Sure is a complicated way to say that there are rotations somewhere in qm though. In particular once you realize that rotations are a good way to describe how a particular property is preserved under certain group operations, symmetry you might say.

Europe didn't assign 3.8-3.98GHz band to 5G - outside of limited deployments in UK, the allocation stops at 3.8GHz and the next band starts way further than 200MHz away from end of aviation bands.

A worthy replica Rolex that feels similar in quality to a real one will still cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. The $20 dollar replicas feel noticeably cheaper and will not provide the same satisfaction.

If people feel like they can get more personal enjoyment from spending money on a digital asset that everyone else can enjoy for free, great. That's a signalling game. But I don't think its hard to understand why a lot of people are skeptical on the real utility behind NFTs in regards to art and creative works.
Most of these projects were driven by competition with USSR. I.e., push for results under limited resources. With globalization we have eliminated it and are now left to rot, splinter and wait until the competition between the shards of the former empire sparks progress again.

Except, there's also China with superior morale, superior education and superior efficiency, that might have better plans for the resources left behind a fallen empire...

Haven't seen either Tuple or your solution, but I assume at the very least Tuple wins out if the two programmers aren't using the same editor.

>Make a backdoor for the government and all organized crime will also have a backdoor

I never said to add a back door. I said we should add a front door. The cryptographic protocol should take into account the needs of the government too. To prevent abuse from organized crime it should be made difficult to fake warrants.
I've got a vision-only model Y. I don't know how good the radar-based ones are, but I do know the vision-based adaptive cruise isn't great. Does a fairly poor job of maintaining a consistent distance to the car ahead, compared to other cars I've driven. I also had to turn the automatic emergency braking to its minimum sensitivity setting after it slammed on the brakes a couple times for no reason.

So I don't know if the radar-based was better, but the vision-based isn't very good imo. (FWIW the vehicle's been great otherwise.)
The article's language is hyperbolic and it focusses on outlier predictions, but life will be worse than it could have been, in large part because of the context in which this weather will be happening.

First, weather effects. A larger percentage of GDP will have to be spent on repairing weather damage. That means higher insurance premiums, one way or another. More will also have to be spent beefing up infrastructure and structures against weather and sea level rise. Harvests are likely to become more volatile because of more extreme weather events, so food prices will be higher than they would have been.

Conflict will rise because of the inability of many governments to deal with these issues, so more will also be spent on military force and internal security.

All of these are manageable with other things being equal, but they're not. Non-renewable ground water is being drawn down. China will find as Arabian Gulf countries have, that desalination is not without its downsides. Its south-north water projects will be vulnerable to weather too. I have no idea how inland South Asia will get its water if, as predicted, the Indian Summer Monsoon becomes unreliable.

At the same time we will in the process of trying to eliminate fossil fuels, which currently provide 80% of our primary energy and which are currently essential for producing steel, cement, fertilizer, and industrial chemicals at moderate prices. More of GDP will also be spent on the substitutes as well as the structures and equipment needed to produce them.

The main bit of missing context, though, is demographic. Working age populations will be shrinking during this time¹, and the proportion of the old elderly (older than 75) in populations will increase. The latter almost certainly means that healthcare will take an increasing fraction of GDP also². The former means that these burdens will fall on a smaller group.

With more spent on insurance premiums (one way or another), more expensive infrastructure, more spent on health (one way or another), and higher food prices, people will have less disposable income than they would have had otherwise.

1. Outside sub-Saharan Africa, a region which is not noted for effective government.

2. There's an interesting paper on the UN DESA population web site, describing how over the 20th century two things have happened to lifespan. Life expectancy has increased, and the variance of age at death has reduced dramatically. Currently most people can expect to live to 90 ± 5 years compared to 75 ± 20 in the mid 20th century.

Crucially, though, death is preceded by about 15 years of ill health, and this period is not shrinking. People now have a "healthspan" of 75 years, followed by 15 years of increasing demand on the medical system.

3. The above is all predicated on the assumption that our political class can deal effectively with the situation, and wants to act in the interest of all citizens. It's a best case.
From the article

```In the Java ecosystem, it’s common practice to specify “soft” version requirements — exact versions that are used by the resolution algorithm if no other version of the same package appears earlier in the dependency graph. Propagating a fix often requires explicit action by the maintainers to update the dependency requirements to a patched version.
This practice is in contrast to other ecosystems, such as npm, where it’s common for developers to specify open ranges for dependency requirements. Open ranges allow the resolution algorithm to select the most recently released version that satisfies dependency requirements, thereby pulling in new fixes. Consumers can get a patched version on the next build after the patch is available, which propagates up the dependencies quickly. (This approach is not without its drawbacks; pulling in new fixes can also pull in new problems.)```

The microprocessors owed more to the minicomputers like the PDP-11 than the mainframes.
If it were me, I'd prepare a basic contractor agreement with an hourly rate. And as a retainer, that agreement would guarantee a minimum number of hours a month. You would commit to provide those minimum hours but will not commit to go above that. If you do go above that minimum number of hours, they pay your hourly rate.

For example, you charge $100 per hour with a $1,000 per month retainer, guaranteeing them 10 hours per month. If you and they agree to go above 10 hours for a particular month, you charge $100 per hour in addition to your $1,000 per month retainer.
Own a Y, and absolutely couldn’t explain how much I love this car.

That said I am running into a complaint: somebody backed into me in a parking lot last week. The car is still mechanically fine, but with a damaged panel and bumper now. This is a bummer for me, since I’ve been meticulous about washing it, always parking at the end of the lot, etc. car detailing has actually become a hobby as a result of enjoying taking care of this car.

The problem is that Tesla simply doesn’t have the parts to fix this right now. I made a service appointment, and they sent me a message the next day cancelling it due to a parts shortage.

So I’m kindof at a loss now. My car has a dented/scratched panel, and I can’t even get it fixed. I’d be really frustrated if this was something preventing it from driving.

That said, there’s a reason the for the parts shortage, long order wait times, etc. The model Y is basically a perfect vehicle. I can’t recommend it enough.

(And this article is just a cherry on top. We bought this car originally because we knew it was really safe, and we just had a baby. So reading this is just affirming.)
It's hilarious (to some people), and those people paid to take part in that perceived hilarity.

Yes, my company launched an NFT app that is not on any blockchain (although we're looking into how you can export your NFT to a blockchain of your choice if you want). An artist can certainly sell their art in our app and on ethereum, say, just as an app can be on iOS and Android, or a stock can be traded on multiple markets. We have had people try to upload copies of bored apes and so on and we reject those, but if it's the artist, that's fine.
I have as much and I can't think of more than 2 that got removed in the 12 years I got my Steam account. Games no longer available for purchase (but still playable) is something the publisher controls. Bit weird blaming Steam for a publisher pulling their game from the store.
Pi is the ratio of a mathematical circle to its diameter, but there are no physical circles which have that ratio as exactly Pi, and even if one existed, you'd never be able to distinguish it from one that was merely equal to Pi to the accuracy you are capable of measuring, because you'd need to measure with infinite precision, which you can't.
Do governments typically provide reimbursement to the household for holding their house hostage for over 27 years? Or did the government just declared they can't and forced the homeowners cooperation?

The very nice weasel wording used tries to make it sound like 40 countries approved above 3.8GHz, but the further paragraphs explain that only japan did so, without going into much detail other than the low guard band.

The FAA complaint is about 3.8-3.98GHz, and all other examples involve no frequency allocations above 3.8GHz

But it’s NOT free. You keep repeating that, but I’m not sure why.

Are you saying that because people didn’t have to buy Windows for their computers since it was included?

They paid in directly. You’d buy your computer for $2000 and Microsoft would get $350 (or whatever). Because of the price Microsoft charged, the price of your computer with artificially high. Because of Microsoft agreements with computer makers, you couldn’t choose NOT to buy Windows. So you had to pay the money. Since you had to buy Windows, there was no price competition.

Even after the antitrust settlement this was still a problem. Remember when netbooks were the fad? Well it’s really hard to sell a $500 laptop that’s good if you’re required to pay Microsoft $250 for Windows. That’s why we actually saw ones that shipped with Lenox. In competition, Microsoft released a cut down version of Windows that was limited that they charged less for.

What do you know, competition worked. That couldn’t happen before the settlement.
I've found similar networks when inspecting other brands of router. It's not an uncommon sight these days with vendors and their 50 different proprietary mesh negotiation protocols.

While I did wonder how they generated the SSID (In this case it was 128-bit hash, underscore then the vendor name), I didn't really look too hard into it as my goal was wiping out the vendor's firmware anyway. I did spot some features like configuration sync that made my "this'll be written properly..." senses go off though.

I do note that there is a Wifi Alliance spec for this kind of thing now though. It's called Wi-Fi EasyMesh. I can't imagine anyone apart from actual SoC vendors taking the effort to implement it though, as it's a 163 page specification, available only on request or by alliance members. (Well the vast majority of chipset manufacturers are members, and the specifications have leaked anyway)

Edit: Scratch that, there were actually 3 different hidden SSIDs. The one mentioned above was a hidden IoT SSID, the other two were VendorMesh_hash and VendorMesh_WPS. :S

But Apple was not prohibited from including other browsers as well. For example, years later, Safari.

It might be a matter of deciding how far you want to go with something.

If you want to try something just to see if you like it then it doesn't matter if you drop it any time. However, if you choose to commit to something then you must follow through and that requires discipline.
FYI, I received this email from my .au domain registrar (not AWS) a week ago:

Hey, just a quick update on your .au domain(s). Our backend provider for .au is changing their backend provider, and they'll be sending two emails explaining the move (as required by the .au registry): one on December 20th and the followup on January 18th. To be clear, absolutely nothing will be changing to your account, and you don't have to do anything with the emails... they're purely informational. We're just preemptively letting you know so you won't be alarmed.

And yesterday received an email from Hexonet like the one quoted by OP.
This is more like selling shovels during a pandemic.
Every company has different budgets, which I get, but you're basically arguing it's only worth ~$0.16/hour (based on 160 hours/month), which seems pretty suspect given that developers (in the US) cost around $100/hour all in.

Based on that cost structure, if it saves the average user 15 minutes per month then it has paid for itself.

I make this argument solely because when it comes to developer/professional tools, tens of dollars per month is a fairly trivial cost.
We test drove the Y and passed on it. We found the visibility out of the back poor, all the mirrors tiny, and the headrest also tiny and my head kept rolling off it. Do you not experience these problems?
i3 or Sway are good alternatives to EXWM, but they are not as customizable. For example I like switching between buffers using autocomplete or cycle between the ones that has the same major mode. I like to toggle certain buffers like Firefox with a shortcut that hides it if it's visible, shows it if it's hidden and opens it if it's not open. I like to filter out buffers that are not part of the current project. All of these work better if applications can be treated as buffers.

EXWM has a few issues like freezing, buffers vanishing into thin air, applications that use multiple windows or fullscreen not being displayed properly. It's developer also vanished around a year ago, it is barely maintained. It is not perfect, but it is powerful. Mucking around in text files, C and shell scripts to replicate my setup would be painful.
I can see how it would make _some_ things more liquid. Imagine if the average residential real estate transaction didn’t require a titling agency. You’d be able to buy a house on a Sunday, or after 6pm.

An 60k is easily an entry level salary. And 300k is easily a principal engineer's salary. Put the two under the same job title and then you can say to the jury, "it's not just credible that this salary range could exist, this range actually already exist right now."
well it depends on the license. An NFT of an olive garden may be meaningless, while an NFT of an artwork with a license that says the NFT buyer has all rights to the art may be meaningful. And in theory you could make an NFT of an actual Olive Garden - it would simply be a digitised bearer share. But bearer shares are mostly illegal nowadays to prevent money laundering.
How is that relevant to this discussion? IIHS is an independent nonprofit. It’s a completely different organization.
You should change your app to match their infra instead of changing their infra. Why can’t you?
Omg yes, please make this a reality. I made a pointless web-scraper to harvest artworks off of museum websites last year. Why not make them all NFTs and sell them? Would there be any validity to a cease and desist from the Louvre if you just made an NFT of the Mona Lisa? Is this already a thing?

I think there's a point there about what comes in the box. If this is your first iPhone, your first Bluetooth-capable device, yes, you're stuck with awkward compromises without spending more money.

Still, for most people it's not their first such device, so they already typically have their own infrastructure of chargers and BT headsets etc.

The video is just of that one test but multiple Model Ys are crash-tested in different scenarios before the rating is assigned. I think you're talking about the moderate overlap test.

They must also be available with a front crash prevention system that earns advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.

Philadelphia just smashed its all time murder total. They have more murders this year than 2013 and 2014 combined, and the year isn't over. We could abolish the police, as many have proposed, and completely eliminate all police killings. But that doesn't mean the massive net increase in overall murders that would result is somehow good or desirable.

They also make a great 16 port SFP+ 10G switch (CRS317-1G-16S+RM) usually available for ~$350 which is nice for a prosumer setup. They also have a 10/100/1000/2500/5000/10000 RJ45 transceiver which is nice because it lets you migrate things over without having to upgrade everything or buy a separate multirate gigabit switch.

I do my actual routing on a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter though I've used MikroTik there as well in the past. I avoid most other Ubiquiti products though, particularly the UniFi line.

In both cases HW accelerated NAT and routing greatly outperforms an unaccelerated ARM/x86 Linux/BSD PC. Particularly when it comes to new session latencies not just saturating the bandwidth.
