With all the shenanigans lately, perhaps the best way to fix problems with providers and the FCC is to vote for canidates who don't take PAC money. Crony capitalism doesn't seem to be providing the best infrastructure, regulation, or competitive rates.
The user info is just the ballot info^ no information about the name or anything else is used just like the images we already store today. Too many people confuse Bitcoin with an encrypted distributed ledger.
Lmafo, did you not read my comment??? The key and user info is put on the paper hand filled ballot, by the machine, AFTER the ballot is turned in. It is hidden to the user and preserves the voting data in a secure distributed ledger rather than a centralized location. Paper is the primary method, the blockchain is backup for when legitimate or illegitimate accidents happen. We *already* use image backups of voting ballots, this is a method to ensure those backups are far harder to fake and nearly impossible to delete.
By fraud, I mean inside jobs that paper ballots don't protect against. We aren't looking for the cheapest solution, but the most secure one. The number of times paper ballots have gone missing, or been accidentally destroyed, even when subpoenaed, is astounding. Keep the hand marked paper ballots, count and use them as the primary method, mark each with a digital signature that is the identifying owner and the key in the blockchain that the voter does not see. Have all the voting precincts across the state, or nation, distribute the ledger using the digital credentials to verify the chain. This will put an end to "losing the ballots" and wiping a single server or losing a few USB keys being viable voter suppression methods while still using the paper as the primary method and blockchain to reduce fraud. The sheer number of times this has happened sickens me and something needs to be done besides some paultry fines people gladly pay to change the outcome.
Actually I prefer powdered sugar for my solids based flamethrower. Looks awesome and generates massive white billowing clouds that stink like carmel. Plus it generates molten sugar that sticks to objects that get too close kind of like a candied napalm.
Maybe he means this incident considering we are talking about Rich Rebuilds. There are many reports of Tesla being dicks to people when they find out the vehicle is salvaged, whether or not this attitude is approved by management.
Actually it's closer to a peak of 240k/s if you look at table 3. Though the gravitational gradient must not be too large given the massive size of the black hole in question here, it would be amazing If it were possible to see a close pass stretch a star into a ribbon and watch as it is torn apart. As it is the star must deform considerably under those enormous fields.
It's not so easy to make a phased array by using traces on the PCB. Modules like these make it easier to implement, which will help out the smaller companies the most. It's easier to switch to differently located arrays within the phone with these modules as well. You need something like this when you go run 26-47Ghz like these do as the signals are easily attenuated.
One of my pet peeves about cell phone antenna design is form over function, with a larger and more sophisticated antenna the range can be enhanced significantly as you can increase the gain and area over which the signal is captured. Instead, as the signal to noise ratio dropped due to advancements on the radio side, manufacturers let the antennas atrophy and hid them wherever they could leading to designs where customers simply are "holding them wrong".
How would this stop startups in CA? Couldn't they just open a shell company somewhere else and run the servers that way? If they are looking to stop honest startups in CA from this then they have lost before they started.
I can see how this would work with phone calls, but how is this supposed to work on the global internet? It's has no teeth when the bot servers aren't located in the US, and possibly creates asymmetrical issues when companies are located in the US but serving foreign markets. I just fail to see how it's practical. A better approach might be education because the average American confuses bots with troll farms, or macro/algorithm enhanced human accounts, or simply other people online. Simply educating people what bots can and can't do, and how they typically operate with today's tech, and what to look for might be more effective. Then again that's education, so your mileage may vary on that front.
I actually don't mind eating most GMO products that I've come across, I find them to be equal or superior to natural ones if you just compare them taste wise with the natural store alternative. I am opposed to drenching the world in glyphosate, which is the main reason I oppose some of them. Others, like the GMO salmon that grow twice as fast, I'm only opposed to lax regulation because if it were possible for them to escape and breed in the wild it would wipe out natural populations.
I myself am staunchly anti-drug. My country is, of course, in the news as legalizing recreational marijuana, something that I have personally opposed.... We typically don't live in fear here that police are going to grab a drug dog to sniff out your car if you refuse a search. But regardless, it is certainly something to think about, and makes me rethink some of my attitudes.
It's actually not uncommon in the USA for the cops to plant drugs in your car if you give them attitude or they don't like you. Not only was cannibis made illegal to discriminate against minorities, but it's used to jail them in private prisons and labor for almost no to no money. I think they used to have a word for that, s- something. A pet peeve of mine is just how highly disingenuous it is to be anti-drug and pro alcohol, very very few drugs make people lose all common sense and do stupid things that get people killed like alcohol. Not to mention the millions of people born with birth defects and the medical costs associated with it. Neither is a problem with cannibis, both are serious problems with alcohol.
Also, it may not be unreasonable search and seizure. The article is written a bit one sided. If the cop smelled marijuana in the car, he/she was well within their rights to search the vehicle.
Bullcrap. Cops use the "I smell marijuana" excuse to violate citizen rights on a daily basis. I once refused to have my car searched, the cop says in a sarcastic tone "oh, I smell marijuana!" and proceeded to start searching. I said "why did you even ask?" Which nearly got the shit kicked out of me for. 5 cop cars and 2 hours later and they found nothing because there was nothing and never had been. I guess I'm lucky they forgot to bring thier own drugs and plant them on me, or give me 10 conflicting commands then summarily execute me with thier firearms when it's impossible to comply.
My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it." but at least put some F's after those numbers so we know they are USA only numbers, not international standard!
You realize forty rods per hogsheads is 0.0362 leagues per 9684 pony or roughly 3.7 microleagues/pony. You must have a ton of ponies to get mileage that bad, sounds like my kind of car.
Those plugs are designed to contain the transformer, and give it space to cool.
also to keep your derpness from plugging 12 things into a single outlet and burning your house down.
Seriously, who writes this garbage and how does it get on/. ? Next week we'll have some executive's coming-out-as-a-brony as front page news.
FFS.
Giving the transformer space to cool was literally a larger problem with the magnetic coupled copper based old school design that went out of fashion around 2010 and now is rarely seen. With the advent of cheap efficient switching circuits, modern designs can be shrunk due to greater efficiency, due in large part to high frequency low loss designs where you can pump a small amount of energy (small cheap parts) a very large number of times a second instead of huge parts at 50/60.
tl;dr There really is no good reason for these bulky designs.
That's why in the future people won't grow in wide open fields with nothing below them, there simply won't be room for the trillion inhabitants. We already have shipping container farms that can grow 2-4 tons of produce a year and use water and fertilizer extremely efficiently. I'm sure in 50 to 100 years you could grow all types of produce or vat meat in the same space requirements. If we had inexhaustible power, say from fusion, there isn't a reason due to physics the shipping containers couldn't be stacked 1000 deep anywhere, even under cities.
Surface area of the earth 196.9 million sq mi, population density of New York City 27,000 per square mile, yields room for 5.3 trillion people on earth, not making new land or using the oceans in any way. The surface you can see will eventually be a thin film on a very thick layer of growth. 120 years ago the top scientists were saying the earth couldn't support even 5 billion people and they were right, using tech from the 1900s. Don't assume the earth can only hold 11 billion in 2100 using 2000 tech.
I really like freemium games that push cosmetics only such as skins, dance moves, and other non-essentials. It opens up the game to the most people, levels the playing field between players who pay and those who don't, and still allows a fun incentive to invest in the development of the game. I can't stand and refuse to become invested in games that use loot boxes using actual currency as the method to obtain end game content, must have equipment, or are the only way to get it in a reasonable amount of time.
Electric motors are great in terms of power to weight, efficiency, reliability, control ability, and size to weight. Batteries still suck and are heavy, getting a 20 minute run time isn't going to be easy. Until batteries improve an order of magnitude, a hybrid design may be the best bet. Gas powered engines are far more efficient when run at a single rpm, they can be compact and reliable, and generate the majority of the power for the craft with a much smaller battery pack and much lighter overall weight for extended run time applications.
Yea yea whatever. Next you will be saying this so called "survivorship bias" means that not a single one of my parent organisms died before successfully reproducing, effectively winning the lottery a trillion times in a row. Ludicrous, I tell you.
you have zero point zero to the zero chance of understanding the point or import of the article anyhow.
which is interpreted as 0.0^0 which is 1 therefore a 100% chance of understanding. Using mathematics, it's clear the OP has the highest respect and understanding of the point and cherished regard for the content of the article.
Congratulations, you have just identified the real reason we won't ever have free college for all. Without GI bill applicants, the US would either have to tone back the 8 simultaneous wars where we drop a bomb every 20 minutes or create a draft, both are unthinkable - from an oligarch and populist view.

Go ahead, Mod me a troll because you disagree with reality. Destroying ballots to avoid a recount while subpoenaed for said ballots happens.

And yet nobody has trouble with square roots being defined, even though sqrt(4) is +/- 2.
I think if the square root is negative you are imagining things.
Touché. That's what I get for a quick read before my coffee between tasks.

Remember when one of SpaceX's rockets exploded, and they thought one of their nearby competitors sabotaged it?
Don't be ridiculous, it was actually a meteorite impacting the fuel tank.
