For those who don't want to Google, the 7 layers are numbered 1 through 7, not 0 through 6.
Layer 1 is link layer signalling like HDLC.
We who are actually in the business do indeed use the term "Layer 0" to refer to power/physical cabling/infrastrucuture. I've even heard "Layer 8" bandied about to refer to managers and politics, but it's less popular.
You can put a PoE power injector and fiber adapter in a NEMA box next to the WiFi. That would require AC power at or near the antenna (more money) but it keeps the surge out of the data side.
Honestly, unless it becomes a fad, far cheaper to just replace the fried equipment.
After having watched numerous threads on xda fizzle because the participents didn't have the ASM chops to reverse engineer bootloaders, I think GP's point is pretty valid. Don't underestimate just how much control humble boot/driver ROM writers actually have over the landscape on which everyone else walks around.
Also learning ASM gives you a better feel for how the hardware sees your higher level code, so it helps to build instincts about what is likely to work well and what will drag ass.
BTW after x86 and ARM, or maybe even before ARM, MIPS is a good one to know.
TCL also has a waning wind behind its sails in automation of some router platforms, though the trend in higher layer network gear seems to be drifting towards python from what I can see.
Well, maybe you don't choose it, but your family is like, we were thinking of filling the grave with concrete, but now we can shoot the bastard to the moon and finally be really, really rid of him.
Take action RPG's for example. In Secret of Mana for SNES, if any player has the menu open, gameplay basically pauses and the other players can't do anything.
Similar problems in so many games. Even UT engine based things like Borderlands where the onscreen menus don't pause the game but they do not adapt to the screen aspect ratio and can be very finicky to use, or even see.
This would not happen if devs treated split screen as a full feature and not just an afterthought.
(Actually bothering to allow people to set aspect ratios in the first place would also make poor-man's-SimulView possible.)
I think they are actually rather important for SE jobs. SE's need to know lots of product details without needing to know much of the stuff that only comes from sweating through the particular problems of an admin job.

Allergies are usually protein based. Soy oil may not contain any proteins, depending on its level of refinement or processing.

That's because the demand for the right stuff also increases demand for the wrong stuff.
That's a confused mode of thinking. You could just as easily say that demand for alternatives to it increase demand for it, because it causes people to turn away from those alternatives to a buyers market.

Atheism has no tradition, stories of faith, or organizational structure
Wrong, right, wrong. There is organized atheism and there are "traditions" of a sort in that those involved in atheist activism tend to historically exhault certain influential figures of philosophical importance to them.
And wrong, you don't get to label atheist ideals as "faith" or "belief" because that is twisting words. You could say some have a fair degree of dogma, though.
This. Part of these systems has to be that you cannot prove to another person how you voted, whle still allowing you to prove to yourself that your vote was correctly counted. There are schemes for that but they mostly require the voter to be intellectually able to trust mathematics.
If you're thinking of launching your own company... it's worth scanning the list to see if any of these potential crises are brewing in your setup.
I thought the whole point was to jump in head-first and just hope the thing gets bought by an aquisitions team from an established company or pull all the copper out of the walls on your way out and end up breaking even (and therefore having employed yourself for a year or three.)
Pv6 can (and generally does) use transient random addresses for client computers. No machine keeps an IP address for more than about an hour usually.
That is not likely to catch on in many enterprise environments, which is one reason for slow adoption -- first hop security had to be secured along with DHCPv6 snooping so that addresses could be held fixed. Yes, even for clients. Most of the auto-address self-configuration stuff is crap. It was crap in IPv4 zeroconf and is still crap in IPv6.
This I can readily agree with. NAT provides nothing security-wise than a firewall can do.
NAT's sole purpose is address scarcity.
Unfortunately, no, NAT has been around long enough to pick up some "off-label" uses so to speak. Once a server is set up to work correctly from behind a NAT people start thinking of clever tricks to play with NAT and some of them have become an integral part of network functionality.
Especially it is used a lot in cloud service redundancy/bridging setups.
There are actually poorly engineered adgets out there that cut off well before an alkaline is tapped. They are the same ones that have trouble operating off NiMHs.
(Whereas the ones the SP mentions that drain the hell out of batteries need to be used with care with NiMH as they can decrease rechargeable shelf life by doing that.)
Ever since LSD NiMHs hit the market I have not bought a single alkaline oter than to put in gifts given to someone who can't handle rechargeables.
Another special way DC is dangerous is because, while AC will cause your muscles to jerk around, DC will cause them to clench in one direction. Which makes it kinda hard to let go of the wire.
You can tell, in fact, that you were MITMd post hoc, because you can compare the cert that was used versus a copy of the cert obtained through other means. That's easiest to do if you have admin access to the server, of course, but those of us that do, know that MITM attacks are rare.
Is your google broken? This has indeed been addressed (by actual scientists) and the estimate of those impacts are of course refined as models improve.

To add, these days, Power Over Ethernet is becoming more common. It might be turned off on public ports, but often it's there.

I keep hearing this argument against NAT but somehow everything right now is running fine. What exactly is broken?
All the things we worked around to get things to work through NAT. And a few thigs that you would be using if we could figure out how, but cannot.
You're welcome. It would have been much easier without NAT.
Pv6 can (and generally does) use transient random addresses for client computers. No machine keeps an IP address for more than about an hour usually.

NAT has no security benefits.

Most button cells are actually "lithium primary batteries", not considered "alkaline" in common parlance.

Just tax tires and eliminate the gas tax. Done. Next problem.
Well, brush motors and a dynamo back to back in a rotary convertor would have done it, even then.
Another special way DC is dangerous is because, while AC will cause your muscles to jerk around, DC will cause them to clench in one direction. Which makes it kinda hard to let go of the wire.
I was aware of that. It dodn't bear on the subject matter of my comment.
MITMs are different than just sniffing.
You can tell, in fact, that you were MITMd post hoc, because you can compare the cert that was used versus a copy of the cert obtained through other means. That's easiest to do if you have admin access to the server, of course, but those of us that do, know that MITM attacks are rare.
No one seems to address that possibility.
