Interesting how so many are willing to accept "camera flare" as a concrete explanation.

One thing that bothers me about this explanation is we know those pilots had a lot of experience with those systems so I'd expect they'd know "camera flare" when they saw it on those displays. But it's clear from the audio they did not recognize it as that. And there was more than one pilot seeing it, and from different angles.

I'd like to hear what the pilots and ship crew members think about this.

Happy to chat anytime, if you want, my email is in my bio.
this response has more information about QC than I have passively read in 5 years.
Maybe there's hope. I just got a regular 980 (not Pro) last week, which was showing around 660-680 MB/s write speed on both direct disk (and through file system). Just moments ago downloaded the new firmware and ran the installer, and suddenly: 1.8 GB/s on direct disk. I'm using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1000M count=100 to test the direct access speed.

BTW, I followed the wget & cpio route from the how-to and ran the "fumagician" binary just fine on the headless box over ssh, no need to PS/2 anything.
Isn't it also common in Spain to take a nap in the early afternoon?
That is kinda how I remember it. Our computer was from Packard Bell, it didn't come with a proper windows disc and used some proprietary image installer for reinstalls. We did get the Win95 Extras disc as I clearly remember playing Hover!
China has already decided to send economic aid to Russia, US officials fear
Tibet is the source of many rivers essential to China and it's south asian neighbours.
That "four different pilots" stuff has not been confirmed as far as I know. All people involved in these stories are hustlers, including that one ex-pilot who peddles the story.

You must look at every statement they make separately. They give one fact that can be verified and then they tie lies or unverified stuff on that.

btw. Luis Elizondo is has not been charge of any UFO stuff. https://theintercept.com/2019/06/01/ufo-unidentified-history...
> I want the native app from a boutique software shop to somehow be better than the open-source alternatives.

In a very loose sense, it already is. The apps I’ve seen it compared with in this thread are VSCode and Emacs. The former has the backing of onenof the largest corporations in the world, and the latter has 40 years of development time put it it. That you can even use Nova, Emacs and VsCode in the same sentence, despite Nova being two-four years old and only have a small core dev team is really impressive.
Sometimes I think this sounds conspiratorial, and surely isn't happening. Who has the time or money to pay 5 people to just go around harassing and stalking people for political gain only?

Then I remember the story of the lady in East Germany who, after it fell, managed to get the Stasi records that finally proved that yes, they had been stalking her, harassing her, and spying on her.

They would do things like wait until she went into a store to buy something, then let the air out of her bicycle tires. Just stupid little harassing things like that, so that if she complained about it to her family they'd think she was crazy.

Next time you hear some nutcase on the street talking about things like this to whoever will listen... ponder things like this.
There's another comment to this effect, but I do wonder if this is fair to customers with non-traditional schedules. Plenty of people work nights and early mornings, and they have not been well-served by brick-and-mortar banks and other financial institutions that are open from 9 to 5.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but if your fintech startup caters to retail customers, I would urge you to make the snooze function dismissible if you haven't already. Maybe also store a record of the dismissal in localstorage or the like so that somebody who uses your site on the way home from their night shift at the hospital doesn't have to dismiss the snooze every time they use the site.

Agreed about the nastiness of V2 attacks.

However, the existence of nuclear weapons today doesn't seem to have prevented indiscriminate bombing (using whatever weapons: dumb bombs, unguided rockets, cruise missiles) of targets (including cities) in several countries in recent years.
Because crypto should stay crypto. The moment government controls something "in-crypto" then it's no longer decentralized, beating the whole purpose.
The author of the paper has examined the body of research and come to an informed conclusion, which they are sharing alongside their reasoning. Should the author instead present a case they think is wrong?
They were pretty heavily targeting civilian commercial applications. If they were keeping it under wraps we would have simply not heard anything at all.

I think the limit is 8 kgs. But there is a limit of 3 pets per flight. If no one else is flying with their pets, there might be an exception made.

The 8 kg limit is for the crate which is treated as cabin luggage. If you buy another seat, problem solved.

If you're looking for alternatives you might find the free, open source project I'm a dev on interesting too. you can run your own network if you want. Give us a peek? https://openziti.github.io/ If you like the project just give us a star on github so we can spread the word :) Right now we also have "a single controller" but you don't lose any network traffic if you have to restart it and of course - we are right in the midst of going "distributed controller" to eliminate that spof.
Yes, I too was surprised to hear Adams had not read the Cyberiad. The absurdist humor is very similar.

I grant you that the API for capacity and length when creating a slice in Go is bad because of this exact mistake, and I believe a few of the Go authors said they regretted it and would like to change it. However, it's odd to classify this as an advantage of Ruby, because pre-allocating memory for a large slice like this has been one of the biggest single performance advantages when we moved from Python to Go, and it's effectively a one line change. For known-to-be-tiny slices we don't even bother.
I love it! I'd totally watch that. (Kindergarten Cop with Xenomorphs? Heck yeah!)

This is my dream too. I'm working on it right now!

It's not perfect at the outset, but I've got a 10 year plan to make every step functional, increasingly monetizable, increasingly professional, and will work my way up the capability ladder one rung at a time.

I'd love to hear from other engineers interested in media, storytelling, graphics, etc. (My email is in my profile.)
It might be a tactical distraction that is needed at this point in time.
It wouldn’t make much sense for Russia to show their cards and use modern war tech on Ukraine, a country with a (relatively) primitive military. They’re barely even using fighter jets.
This analysis is saying it's likely 10 miles away, that doesn't track with the other evidence, does it?

This probably covers most of my time that I put into a thing.

Do you try to budget time for research when you start? E.g. “I want to try to get to my first prototype within 80 hours.”

I think when I went into this I didn’t think it would be very hard. I have experience pricing and selling software and experience pricing and selling my time as a consultant. What I’m finding in reality is that, although aspects of my experience apply, overall it’s a new kind of thing for me.
Exactly, but for a few decades now the US has been trying to do so.
Elizondo is a very sus character. He talks and talks but has produced nothing of any substance
TFA says that the brand literally cannot leave because they don't own it. It's devolved to local entities that they do not control.

There are consequences -- that their names are associated with not divesting, while their competitors do. They would probably be willing to accept the civil disputes, if they could, but they can't.

The most they can do is to make a demand that they stop using their name, and get laughed at.
Also the statements that people “worry might be believed” may not intersect with the statements that could be judged as plausible by an intelligent, rational person. There are a loooooot of dumb people out there, with uncomfortable levels of individual and/or collective power. When that cohort falls for something that smarter people see as blatantly false, it still can have nasty consequences. We should be angry at anyone who deliberately attempts to make them fall for it.
I don't understand. You have "developer forks". Everything after that is irrelevant. That's the whole point of open source.
If we blame the author for a work focusing on an abstract topic not directly concerned with injustices happening at the time, no scientist or philosopher should have done anything since no one would be free of guilt by that measure (including, of course, us forum commenters).

I doubt humans can even socially function (let alone progress) if we let the countless injustices happening every second occupy the entirety of our minds at all times—and it is the seemingly abstract works in philosophy, science that lay the necessary foundation for concrete progress that hopefully contributes to resolving those injustices.

That said, is this just an elaborate justification for my own inaction? Should it be the next obvious thing that used to be unthinkable to talk about (like racial equality in the early times of chattel slavery) that a conscious person ought to withhold meaningful but not-directly-helping contributions to humanity until—I don’t know the exact measure here—say, the world is free of suffering and violence?
Last I looked, yes. AFAIK, MacOS lacks the necessary underlying features in the kernel to implement containers (at least this kind of container) at all, so you have to run a Linux VM under the hood to enable rough feature parity, which is a waste of resources in my view. Yet another reason I'm planning to ditch MacOS for Linux full time very soon.
You can imagine them getting to some fussy custom authentication scheme like client certificates at some point, but IdP-based SSO logins --- usually email-backed --- are a practically-universal security best practice for corporate security now. The goal is to make it easy to enroll and offboard people and make it difficult to miss a step in offboarding and thus leave people with undesired access, and to have a single source of authentication truth that can be regularly audited.
In France, it was also deeply religion people of Christian or Muslim faith who felt is was their duty to tell me about the shadow groups controlling the world. The best part was that these shadow groups were all French, based in Paris.
That would be simple if twitter was the only forum. There's things that can't be said on Parler and Gab, too: stuff that was a minority (soft-censored) opinion 10-20 years ago, stuff that's still illegal to say in authoritarian regimes like Saudi Arabia, but approaches plurality in certain Western contexts.
No other country has managed to accomplish what CCP has in its coordinated campaign across the globe.

Errmm...The Cyberiad certainly has plenty of 'sexual' content, but it may be considered too bizarre or disturbing for a mainstream audience, especially the story of the HPLDs.

Some in the US even argued for using nuclear weapons on Vietnam, out of frustration with the lack of progress with conventional war.

Imagine how that would have gone -- dropping nukes on the Vietnamese in order to "save" them from Communism.

Thankfully saner minds prevailed.
Maybe in the courts, but you can get your youtube channel shutdown or even be permanently kicked off your ISP (and the internet, unless you have more than one option) based on nothing but unsubstantiated accusations that you've violated copyright
It's more fun to read about idea's instead of actually turning them into reality, it sounds like a discipline issue. Then again it's not like you need to spend time doing something you don't really want to do anyway, you'll learn plenty in school. If you really want to learn more you can always do the bonus assignments that some classes have.
Chinese grad students have already copied all university research lab hard drive contents and sent them back to China. One of them admitted to my friend to doing it and being sent to the school by the Chinese military. Chinese grad students are a massive espionage risk, second only to Israeli nationals.
Could anyone ELI5 to me why I might use tailscale? If I don't have a use case for a VPN is there any use case for this product, or if I did want a VPN, why this and not some other service like Nord?

Asking from a place of curiosity, I don't quite understand this company. I suspect it solves a lot of issues related to provisioning your own networks ... Which would explain why I don't quite get it because I've never done that.
In a world of modern disinformation, we can no longer presume mad vs non-mad statements based upon our own worldview. Different people have been told different things throughout their lives, and if nothing from another PoV pierces that bubble, then it simply seems normal to them. And that can go for any person, not just "the other side" be it R vs D or any other two groups.
I've stopped shopping at Home Depot and now always go to Lowe's, due to Home Depots inability to track and pack their own stock, in their app/website.

There's no way to know if something actually exists in the store, before driving there. If you call, they look at the app and say yes. If you ask for help finding where the pile of "40 in store, aisle 12, bay 15" is, they look at the app and say it's out of stock, where you can sometimes then go find it a few aisles away, but almost always not. I've wasted so many hours, with so much frustration walking around those damn aisles.
Awesome to hear about the equity! only the taxes and interest of a mortgage are expense. if those are less than 1600, youve improved on renting. hell, I do not think you will find a rental for 4-5 people for less than 2600 near NYC anyway. Maybe Flushing.

The baiting comment was because the goal of your post seemed unclear to me, but it did come off more as a vent for watching paychecks come and go

Keep an eye on the market, you might be able to increase your paycheck. alternatively, start a passion project that might be able to generate some side income. Also consider if there is more opportunity with your current employer. it is mildly annoying, but ask for more responsibility and then after you are handling it well ask for a raise. it is annoying because ideally you get the raise and responsibility at the same time, but it is very rare to see it happen that way
This is the hardest part for me. I undervalue my time and I know that customers do, too.
Reminds me of Gang stalking[0]. It always seems to happen to people who present themselves as generally not very mentally healthy, but sometimes you have to wonder. If you were the very unlucky target of some deniable, organized harassment effort, it would certainly take its toll on your mental health.

School being daycare or not has nothing to do with this issue. If your child needs to be somewhere at time T, you as a parent typically need to take them there at time T, so you can only arrive at work at some time T + delta.

Now, while companies often have absurd requirements of their employees' time, I specifically chose the Wal-Mart example to illustrate a non-absurd requirement: a site needs its store clerks present at opening time to be able to open at opening time.
Some person has to take responsibility for it in case their is some kind of fraud involved in the copyright claim. You can't just say no one is responsible because the computer did it all by itself.
This is such a weird ploy. Is there any link between the impersonator and the CCP or is it just a lone scammer intimidating immigrants? It's interesting too that "impersonating a peace officer" applies in this case.

> CHP officers arrested the driver under charges of forging/possessing a fraudulent public seal and impersonating a peace officer. A police official has told KTLA 5 that the man's charges will be treated with the same severity as they would if it were American officers he had impersonated.
If you're a dummy like me, 25 bps means 0.25%.
Nope. It's a global game changer because it's cheap. The third-world nation that invented it will still be stuck begging people to use it even for free.

I agree with all of this. I don't think people that sell their own goods realize that every situation has different COGS. So you can't price the product based on the market. Especially considering non-handmade items that can be made for pennies in bulk.
Your view of software seems to be very limited.

There is plenty of good software out there, that is only useful in limited.

I wrote code for small drone. If you don't know what you are doing you can easily burn down your house, with one of those (lipo are no joke).

SQLlight is great software, but if you try using it in wrong situation, you are going to have a problem.

In my experience for most of the software, the only answer is: it depends on what you are doing.

And sometimes even not so good software is best solution for a problem.
I learned about them through word-of-mouth through various "maker" types of people.
Yes this has already been tested in existing commercial turbine engines and works fine. It's safe and won't require any changes to aircraft or aviation infrastructure.

The sticking point is the cost of manufacturing the fuel. It will only be economically viable with some major government intervention.
> but it does make it sound like unsupported software

Pretty much every open source license contains a section along the lines of "there is absolutely no warranty". Older projects make this crystal clear in their readme. Newer, hipper projects don't, but that's only because they don't state it as explicitly.

Open source software is unsupported software unless you paid for a support contract. If you still get support despite not having paid for such a contract, then that support is an incidental gift that can go away at any time for any reason.
The goal of the education system is to flatten society.

Both of my kid have been homeschooled up until 5th grade. At home they used to do less than 20min per day of ’school’.

After a few month at school they now find the pace incredibly slow and they can’t stand the waiting they have to endure.

They both score 80-95% in all classes.

My son is learning programming and video editing and piano by himself, my daughter is writing small novels in a second language.

We didn’t teach them much at all, they mostly learn just by themselves.

They now want to go back to homeschooling so they don’t have to wait to learn nothing.

They might be a bit gifted, but I think that the main difference is that they didn’t go to school, they didn’t get used to waiting and learning at the same pace as everyone. I think that most kids a much more capable than we think.

Now I think that unschooling + a bit of tutoring would be incredibly powerful.
It's an extra precaution: it guarantees that the people who are doing the implementation never see the original copyrighted work, so copying is impossible.

If the same person reviews the product being cloned, writes a spec, has it reviewed, and does the implementation, the other side can argue that knowledge that was not in the spec was used in the development. They might or might not succeed in this argument, but cautious companies firewall off those who have seen the original product and those who develop the clone, especially if the competing company has a litigious reputation.
Cloudflare will only block inbound traffic in two situations:

- if the request contains an exploit (the Cloudflare WAF)
- if the website owner created a rule to block a request

Most of the "this website uses Cloudflare to protect..." is a consequence of the second one.

To make things easier Cloudflare has a switch to automate the second one - basically it just looks at IP threat levels based on honeypot services all around. Visitors receive a "level" based on IP, region, browser version, etc and if the level is above the switch (Low, High, Medium) then it's blocked.

People go for this option - set the switch to High and block almosty everything. Other people will set it to Low or Off and then create their own firewall rules - for example a website owner can create a complex set of rules (in addition to the Cloudflare WAF exploit, or replacing it). See https://community.cloudflare.com/t/the-firewall-rules-we-fol... for an example.

People will see the page sayng "Cloudflare blocked you" when in fact was most likely the website owner.
Really depends where you define the starting line. Compare the two starting from birth, and definitely harder in 1905. Compare them as fully qualified individuals ready to apply, probably an edge in 1905.
don't forget the overt "influence the influencer" investments into organizations like the NBA, Disney, etc.
On GitHub a fork is a lightweight thing. People fork the repo in order to contribute because they can't push to the original repo. It's not like you are philosophically against Emacs and decide to fork it to produce XEmacs.
