It was obvious to me he got it right, actually, and I AM an engineer. And it was most likely caused by some construction worker tightening something that was supposed to be tight already and no be messed with in the field in the absence of an engineer. When it yielded instead of getting tighter...boom.
Now, why someone thought it needed that is another question. Concrete gets harder and drier for *years* after initial set. Wanna bet someone moved it too soon and too wet?
Pence was an excuse. Was the rest of what I said BS? Did Trump not today - in the previous story here - diss the crap out of Amazon? Could it be they're looking for a way to duck the storm that's coming to all these data-grabbers by offering something that might deflect attention from their other issues?
C'mon, if you think any of this works by the letter, much less the spirit of law, you need to get out of the basement for a couple of decades and find out how stuff works out here.
Or maybe just live a couple decades in the first place, and gather some data from other than media that is only there to sell ads and confirm your biases. Check some stuff out yourself -with your own eyes. Work in a political party, as I have, for example.
Government is almost certainly why they are doing this....Remember the outlook of our VP? And the current gov noise about how Amazon may not be a good thing? I can add 2 and 2, I'd bet they can too. That Facebook thing really got the anti-big-tech thing rolling. They're all running scared they'll be regulated our of their business models. I'l reserve judgement on whether that'd be good as the devil is always in the details (and loopholes for "friends of officials" - which is how they got here in the first place).
and experian while you're at it.
You'll have about the same success. You think they'll just forget about you? I never had a FB account...that I can log into, that is. Doesn't mean much about what they've got on ya. Heck, they even put together adopted kids with parents when one or both don't have accounts, and some friend noticed....and outed some sex workers as having two accounts, one under a pseudonym. I laugh at puny efforts in the face of that.
Mod up ^^^ but maybe too sensible for Slashdot. More for bigger vehicles that do all the real road damage (abrasion isn't the worst - load flexure is). Which is why diesel is higher taxed now.
Corrupt and evil leader trying to hang onto power by suppressing all dissent. Because even Erdogan knows he is evil and what he would do if he were subject to such a nasty leader himself. It's all about what a shrink would call "projection". Never ends well, whether it's this guy, or say, Nancy Pelosi not wanting me to have a gun because she does evil things with B52's and boots on the ground....
Yeah, I guess. Been a long time since I've seen any but an embedded ad get through my blockers.
Obviously, it works again. The last month or so has been pretty strange for/.
Suddenly, with linux/chrome, when I click on a heading it takes me straight to posting, and I can't see any comments, though the header shows some. I even have mod points. Help!
MIPs/Joule is also AMD fail. Otherwise, I agree. It's also a big reason Intel failed in the portable market. Fast, but HOT. ARM beats both in that niche, which took over more market than Intel and AMD could cope with easily. Not all questions have only two possible answers.
You can try this at home, no need to keyboard warrior from the armchair with no data. ,
I've been posting about this here and on the Reg for about a month - the OP is "late to the story".
I did an experiment with two fresh machines (new MAC addrs) and found that it's not so biased one particular way as it is super-prone to the echo chamber effect.
(FWIW, I watch some of the milder "conservative" stuff now and then myself)
Given an initial "hint" it will take you further down that path - either side of the current partisan madness.
The really weird stuff- like the Nazis, we didn't test, but didn't see any (but some on the right would think Maxine Waters is about as stupid...). I thought the shoe-shop ray from Hitchhiker's guide had been cranked up and turned to "partisan" to destroy my planet.
Worse, in playing around trying to learn how this worked, we tried having our right-wing and tech aficionado channel check some left wing stuff. It then dumped the tech as it assumed we wanted "politics" and there's only so much room.
.
All the variations, coming from either "side" worked - including a test of "real sci/tech" vs "pseudo sci".
Same crap. .
Don't believe me, try it yourself! Fun for all!

This video from 43c3 "dude, you broke the future" has more and better insight....and, it's obvious then.

To say someone is wrong, Wolfgang Pauli would say "you're not even wrong".
I will agree, and after reading the utter BS, not even rational, and very self and observation-contradicting commenters on phys.org who keyboard-warrior instead of do real science and make actual observations, I'm glad I didn't sign up.
One might as well sign up to some alt-politics conspiracy theory site...for all the effect it'll have.
At least physorg keeps the nuts all together.. maybe one grenade....
Quoting tons of other errors doesn't make it right. Truth isn't up for vote.
All those voters might matter more.. NRA has lots of members but a lot less money than any cableco (or FB or GOOG or.....). And unlike the noisy shouters, the members DO vote.
They're all optimized for x86...the opsys less so - what func to call in what library to do something is likely done by #ifdef, certainly not the compiler. To the extent there's more than one way to do it, my bet is that the code organization is optimized for Windows, at a design level well above the compilation stage.
You might more-usefully wonder how compilers compare on say, ARM...

To a government who calls you Satan? OK. BuhBye.
I know a few EV owners who use solar power exclusively. They don't commute, but are basically off-grid and off the utility radar...I'm one of them.

Fee? How about the increased power drain to meet the spec? Battery life is too short as is.
It's sad that it's a legal issue - not one that involves fairness, honesty, justice or any other thing the legal system wants us to believe.
For once, we agree...Must be the lack of partisan politics. I knew civility was possible still.
Oh, for mod points...^^^^

The caller, the shooter of an innocent person? It needn't be an either/or issue. I say, both!

Rust is perfectly secure! How can so many adamant evangelists be wrong?
We non Californians sure don't want to. Cali is broke, or Calpers wouldn't have to lie about rates of return on pensions, for starters.
Why would google care? The entire point is to support more platforms.
