So no, there's no real reason to get excited about the backlog, because a massive backlog does not automatically equate to a success.
You are talking about two different things to come up with your conclusion. Success financially and success in demand. Boeing fucked up the former. Tesla so far hasn't. Their losses have not been due to Model 3 mistakes, but due to continuing hemoraging of money based on their growth aspirations and constant spending.
Telsa is surviving on its backlog, it's in demand, cheap, and keeping the company floating with prospects. Boeing can be sunk by its backlog, given its production rate and the ability to quickly disenfranchies customers who pay a lot to end up in the queue with it.
Sunscreen protects you from sunburn, but not entirely from the UV damage
How does it do that?.... Blocking UVB. The blocking of UV is literally the scale for SPF.
Just put on a light shirt
What shirt? How do you chose? Shirts don't magically block UV. It's highly dependent on material, weave, colour, etc. I hope you're picking a shirt with a UPF rating. UPF50 is simlar to SPF50. In some parts of the world I would highly recommend both at the same time!.
Or be careful to spend just as much time in the sun as your skin naturally permits without getting burned
From the how to get skincancer 101 guide. This is the dumbest thing that has been suggested in the comments so far, and there have been some very dumb comments especially when browsing at -1.
Sorry but that is just horseshit. A large number of people don't need sunscreen beyond SPF50. But there are plenty that do depending on the UV factor of where you are and how long you intend to stay in the sun. SPF30 may be good enough for a large portion of the population but try spend a day fishing in Australia. I applied SPF50 4 times over the course of the day. Got home with a sunburn.
Though I do struggle to explain to europens why they see me in my facebook photo in the sun with a long sleeved shirt on. Never spend a day in the sun without SPF75, a rashie with a UPF of 50+, glasses, and a hat in some parts of the world.
And no, SPF50 implies 50 times the protection time for your skin. In extreme UV environments you can most definitely burn in the hours the sun is up, even if your sunscreen is perfecly applied (it's not, it pretty much begins to fade in effecacy as soon as its applied), and more importantly you don't need to burn to affect your body. Just because you don't go home a tomatoe doesn't mean you didn't just put yourself at increased exposure to skin cancer.
Why wouldn't it? Checking and ensuring the boot load is exactly as windows expects it to be is a standard part of any OS installation. Running apt-get dist-upgrade will also overwrite grub. The only difference is you're already running it so nothing unexpected occurs:-)
Switch to the "Semi-Annual Channel" rather than the "Targetted" one in the Windows Update Advanced settings. If you want a truly stable system you shouldn't be using the Targetted channel. If you don't have this option, upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, you're a tech head on a news for nerds site. Chances are you shouldn't be running the version targetted at common folk anyway.
That is an interesting choice of words leading into the summary. The bank chose not to disclose a "breach". The only thing here which was "breached" was a chain of custody for a data tape. The regulator was informed, and investigations were undertaken which identified the most likely outcome was that the tapes were destroyed which is what was intended for them anyway. Oh and the regulator didn't require customer notification.
The customer can't do anything about this. Largely they should be unaffected by it as well. Unless you're worried someone may find your receipt from "Illegal and Immoral things R Us" along with your name at the top the only other exposure is that this contributes 25 points towards a 100 point identity check. So not even enough information for identity theft.
So... the customer can do nothing. It's not confirmed that the data was mishandled. The regulator was informed and deemed it all okay. And all that really was identified is that a receipt for the destruction was missing.
How would the customer (I have 4 accounts with this bank) benefit in knowing?
Jesus fucking Christ, how naive can you be? Are you honestly trying to tell me that you don't already know that every smartphone, fuck, every piece of communications/data equipment in modern existence is compromised six ways to Sunday?
Should the government ban Chinese vendors from sale to the general public without providing any credible evidence? Hell no. Should they ban Chinese vendors from infrastructure projects or ban their devices on military installations, even if no credible evidence exists? Hell yes.
There are some things that should be done as locally as practical without any justification. National security and infrastructure is right up there.
However, in practice, if there's one thing that advertisers are good at, it's finding ways around laws and regulations about telling the truth.
Not quite. The laws are often enforced quite strictly and you hear cases about them being enforced constantly. The difference is between being truthful and being morally honest. When you really carefully look into advertising you have to see the subtitles in their message. Next time something talks about being the best, pay the most attention to the words around "best" rather than the word "best" itself. It's these subtleties that make people think that something is a lie when in fact it is the truth.
I caught out someone yesterday in another thread the same way when when I said "No Android phone on the market is banned by airlines". They predictably countered with the Galaxy Note 7, which I pointed out was withdrawn from sale and isn't on the market. My post was truthful, but morally dishonest:-)
Yeah I can provide you a bit of information. Lets Encrypt is a project that provides free SSL DV certificates. It's a CA that is cross signed by IdenTrust (giving it support in all usual systems), but also has it's own root which isn't widely used.
A lot of the flack Lets Encrypt gets comes from a few silly misconceptions:
1) They are free. Free means no people involved. Therefore it must be bad because where is the trust right? 2) They only issue DVs. CAs that only issue DVs can't be trusted because they aren't doing all the necessary checks right? 3) I was able to get a DV without sending through my passport or other ID, therefore they aren't doing the checks right? 4) Lets Encrypt gives you certificates in seconds, so it can't be through right?
All three of those basically come down to a misconception of what DV proves: That a machine actually controls content on a domain. Nothing more. Lets Encrypt achieves this free of charge through automated scripting. If you want a certificate for you host, the script works with the Lets Encrypt API through a challenge and response type exercise proving that the host the script is running on is able to modify a specific file in a specific folder associated with the domain that is having the DV issued. The certificates are only valid for 3 months at a time.
They do something similar with a wildcard certificate but rather than modifying just a file being served up by the host it also needs to modify a DNS record to prove the machine controls the entire domain.
Some people say that without humans in the process it's not a good verification. I say that because there are no humans in the process it's not a good verification.
Though one legitimate criticism is that this process is vulnerable to hacking in that if you can take control of routing you can pretend to be the domain owner for the purposes of fraudulently obtaining a certificate. My response to that is that DV certificates are like the door lock to your house and not a bank vault. Just like your house is susceptible to a brick through the window doesn't mean door locks don't serve a purpose, and if you have a bank vault maybe a DV certificate is not for you.
To be fair to Windows if your business is using the new update then it is doing so against MS's own recommendation and doesn't deserve to be called a business as much as a zoo, because only an actual monkey would be running the targeted release branch instead of staying on the semi-annual channel.
Why do you voluntarily beta test in a business setting?
This is why enterprises and power users are staying with LTSB
So to be clear you're saying this is why enterprises are using the system built specifically for enterprises? And that this bug in software not intended for enterprises and interacting with software on a rolling release that shouldn't be used by enterprises is somehow supposed to be alarming to MS?
Can we get a +5 "Well Duh" mod please?
Also you don't need to be on LTSB. Switch to the semi-annual release instead of the targeted one like a normal person, all this shit is sorted out before it gets rolled out to you. No need for some magical LTSB version that you can only access if you are an enterprise customer.
Propre way to do it is to clear the onclick of B when you remove it from the DOM
The proper way is to not have so many subs in the employ of one dom to begin with. They can't all be getting the attention they deserve. Get more doms, split them up and put them in separate rooms. It's an adult entertainment venue not a slave house.
When you start having a problem with all your software, maybe it's time to start looking at the platform on which its running.
Shit last time I saw a Chrome tab crash was back when flash was still a thing, and the tab was only brought down by the flash plugin. Firefox is equally stable these days, though it got hairy for a while.
By the way I'm not sure what you're talking about "ecosystems" for. It's a fucking browser. Throw in an add blocker, and browse the web. If you want an OS then browse the web using emacs.
1. I'm not lying. I'm talking MSRP. Not some Carrier's LOSS-LEADER or "Special Pricing" Pricing!
Epic fail. None of the prices I listed were special, discounted, or loss leading. Sure looking up the S9+ at walmart made it a whole $20 cheaper than the MSRP listed on Samsung's website, but that doesn't fundamentally change that you either were lying or have absolutely zero clue about what you were talking about. Even with your saving grace of saying MSRP you're either doubling down on the lies or doubling down on the ignorance.
2. Can you express that thought in a COHERENT fashion? You flip-flopped the "blame" at LEAST twice!
Okay I'll make it simple for you: Apple copied Android, other Androids copied other Androids too. If you want it even more simple then just repeat it using a retarded voice.
3. The "Panic" was pretty damned realistic, when there is VIDEO of a phone CATCHING ON FIRE ON A PLANE!!!
Oh you're talking about the Galaxy Note. Well like I said, no phone on the market is banned from an aircraft.
No Android phone on the market is banned from airplanes. There were phones that were recalled in a panic resulting in users not only being $0 out of pocket, but actually getting a significant discount on a replacement phone. All Apple users get is a middle finger, and they LOVE IT!
That's an impressive lack of self-awareness.
Not as impressive as your reading comprehension skills. Or do you want to point me to an Android phone on the market that is banned from airplanes?
So, don't be flapping your pie-hole about how you could be sure you wouldn't be violating the Engineering Act, since there may be rules that govern engineers buried in a bill called "Save the Spotted Owl".
And if there were (there are not), then it would be passable. Quite unlike an act that has stood on it's own from inception to passing as well as having multiple amendments applied to it directly and independent from any other bill. A good example of this would be.... drumroll... the Hatch Act.
So, don't be flapping your pie-hole about how you could be sure
Don't go making bullshit excuses precisely 0% relevant to the topic at hand. None of anything you said applies to this case. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having read your reply. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Personally having looked at the Tesla and Nicola pictures I think the trucks don't look anything alike when you account for the things that have to be the same
Personally I think they look incredibly similar. Personally I also think they are nothing more of a natural progression of the current offerings. E.g. think Volvo VNL with rounded edges.
Prior art should be findable in pretty much every futuristic movie or drawing.
Gnome does relay on pulse audio, ALSA, and other Linux oriented things.
Surprise Gnome, a desktop GUI relies on Pulse Audio, a sound system designed for desktop use in mind.
and I see them and gnome shoot themselves in the foot
In what way? Implementing functions of a modern desktop OS, all the while a few users bitch and moan because they don't like someone's name while offering no suitable alternative to the integration?
If people spent even half as much time creating a usable alternative as they do bitching about dependencies then they wouldn't be in this position. That's fundamentally the power Open Source was supposed to bring.
I will be immortal! My memory will never fade because I plan to write my name on this little chip and launch it.... into the sun.
I may not have thought this through. It may be a better idea to just put my name in a text file on a USB stick and drop it behind the couch. It will probably last longer than what is proposed here.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Nissan was barely ahead of Model S, at 12,9% (Zoe had the lead at 22,7%), which I'll never understand.
What do you not understand, the Leaf or the Zoe lead?
The latest results though show that Tesla is selling each Model 3 at a loss.
Explain. As you do also break down the differences between variable costs and fixed costs.
So no, there's no real reason to get excited about the backlog, because a massive backlog does not automatically equate to a success.
