Oh the cherry picked, high income neighborhoods will still get Fiber to home but the rest will be stuck with whatever speed you can get. Your neighbor doesn't want to keep his trees pruned, well tough luck, not their problem. No line of sight between your apartment and the access point, put in a request and maybe in 10 years they will put up another tower
But as the last election proved, if anyone can blow a sure thing it's the Democrats...
Actually historically the Incumbent party looses the Presidency when the incumbent is not running. The GOP was also in control of Congress, the Senate as well as a large number of State legislative bodies and even a larger chunk of Governors. By all accounts it should have been a easy win for the GOP until they almost blew it by nominating Trump.
The most interesting part is that it was the Democrats system of Superdelegates, meant to prevent a non-competitive delegate (like Trump) that stopped the more populist Sanders from getting the nomination and some would argue costing them the election
Didn't trump just make America great again? How can we still have homeless people?
Because Seattle is a Progressive/Leftist hellhole that drives businesses and jobs away leaving people unemployed & homeless, for which the leftists then promptly blame the businesses and investors instead of their own insane and self-defeating policies.
Seattle got their homelessness problem the old-fashioned way....they *earned* it! As the Progressive controlled cities of Detroit and Chicago so clearly demonstrate, Progressivism kills freedom, jobs, economies, and the dreams of future generations,

The U.S biggest cities are NYC, LA, Chicago. Mind telling me how is it that the "conservative meccas of business" can't attract more businesses then these progressive hellholes? BTW the reason you hear about homelessness and other social issues in Progressive cities is because unlike the conservative hellholes we prefer to have a discussion about how to help those people instead of criminalizing homelessness so we can throw them in jail or force them out of town
The whole "public vs. private", socialism vs. capitalism debate is a big red herring when it comes to launch services. Because:
1) Most spacecraft are already built by private companies, either in part or nearly in whole; and
2) New private startups are offering far lower prices than the old traditional providers.
It's idealism vs. pragmatism. I don't care what ideology you have; new companies like SpaceX are vastly undercutting NASA and its traditional private partners (Boeing, Lockheed, etc).
Even though they are all building rockets doesn't mean they are trying to achieve the same thing. NK builds their rockets on a shoestring budget and sometimes they even manage to complete a flight path, quite a successful program for their purposes. NASA, the Air Force, and the various Spy agencies asked Being and Lockheed to build rockets that are reliable as possible and that's what they got, at eye watering costs of course. SpaceX and the new breed see a whole new type of a business plan, one where they are launching large numbers of mass produced satellites a month, if one doesn't make it than it is not so important. Of course NASA would be insane to take even a.01% higher chance of failure with the one of a kind, decades in development James Webb Space Telescope.
If courts can authorize the search on a device but it is technically impossible because the suspect can't be compelled to unlock the security than it only strengthens the law-enforcement case that they need legislation mandating a back-door into devices. One that can be abused without your knowledge or consent of courts
Sorry but the belief that New York are a bunch full of themselves, snobs is something that's been invented by certain Conservative media as a boogieman to rail against (although in all fairness in a city of over 9 million you are bound to get some of everything). For the most part we are just regular people and like everyone else we don't give a damn where or how anyone chooses to live. We are too busy worrying about our own problems with "Congestion, high prices, cramped living conditions, lack of green spaces, pollution," and dreaming of getting away for a couple of days
I'd go with the "firing of synapses without purpose" hypothesis.
It if was actually productive, evolution probably would have made it available to us without drugs. Psychedelics are not special, these are relatively simple molecules imitating neurotransmitters. So if tripping were so beneficial, it could probably be triggered through normal pathways, with the added bonus of being able to switch from high to baseline at will.
Until the very recent (in evolutionary terms) formation of large social groups that could support the development of technology, a state of hyperactive brain activiy that consumes even more resources than the brain already does, would not have been something that was very beneficial and selected for thru evolution
Then by all means keep using X11. Linux is open, nobody is forcing you to use Wayland, Systemd and you really enjoy a good fight, the emacs vs vim "holy wars"started on the glorydays of Usenet and is still blood being spilled with no end in sight
What surprises me is that they need a study to tell this. Just look around, everyone who owns a damn cell phone is using it at some point while driving. At every red light, you can see at least 1/2 driver looking at their phone. Best way to catch them: cops in buses to spot them. And best way to deter them: higher ticket price.
People tend to not follow laws that they think are irrational, and most people think that prohibiting checking the phone while the car is at a complete stop, is stupid. Want to make things safer, then require the gear be placed in [Parked]. I don't know about other states but in NY you can get be ticketed while parked at the curb if the engine is running. The Laws in this case should strike a balance that minimizes risk and provides the most benefit, rather then idealism that in practice is wildly ignored
I won't buy a phone without a microsd card slot, but other than that they look like a really good phone at a good price. If they offer a model with external storage the next time I'm in the market, I will consider them.
* Local money, not $US
He suggested you look at "something like a OnePlus 3T" not just the 3T model or OnePlus . There are dozens of Android vendors and models with about every combination of specs and features one might want. It would serve you well to at least glance over whats out there instead of blindly picking up another Galaxy version
You realize that this can literally happen anywhere, right? Including a hospital? You have no legal right to be on private property after being asked to leave. Period.
You do realize that there is not Constitutional right to operating a business. Business is regulated and often requires a license, which can be revoked just as easily as permission to be on private property. If a business doesn't serve the interests of the community it should not operate. Period
I say bravo to this brave guy for bringing to people's attention this completely OUTRAGES Federal law that forces Police officers to treat Airline customers like criminals at the Airlines whim. Everyone should contact their representatives to remind them that they still represent us (in theory at least)
Since I'm a little slow, do you mind explaining to me exactly how that contradicts my statement that "the filibuster was used sparingly?"
Perhaps I'm just not very good with the distinction between threats and action
Sorry but there is nothing in the linked Post about the "Cloud."
In fact for a distribution aimed at people PC's, focusing on the "Cloud," or as we used to call them "other peoples servers" would be really strange indeed
the only thing enforcing the fillibuster was tradition. which both parties supported. then the democrats killed it in 2013.
Before than the filibuster was used sparingly to block only the most extremes of appointments, The Republicans turned it into a WMD and blocked appointments en masse so they could use the confirmations as barganing chips to get concessions.
The Obama noamnie, Garland was a centrist the GOP should have been more than happy to accept rather then roll the dice on the Presidental election (especially once Trump became the nomanniee and most professional pollers called the election lost) but in todays political reality where people scream treason even for as little as their representatives talking to the "enemy" accross the aisle, there is little room for compromise.
We aren't talking about a training mission but a real fighting force. Pre withdrawal there were some 50,000 troops in Iraq, fighting alongside the Iraqi army as well as keeping them and the politicians from abusing the Sunni population too much. The administration decidede it didn't want to leave behind a training mission because it didn't want to be seen as sanctioning the cracdown on the Sunni population
The U.S withdrew because their Iraqi government wanted the U.S out so they could crack down with impunity on the Suni population. They did so by refusing to renew the agreement that kept U.S troops under U.S jurisdiction. The eventual crackdown and the dissatisfaction of the Suni population is what led to the spectacular collapse of the Iraqi force in Suni territories, ceding of half the country to ISIS.
It wasn't that the Iraqi troops were afraid of the small group of ISIS fighters comping from Syria, but they knew that the minute they showed up the Suni population was going to rise up against them and they would find themselves sourrounded, outnumbered and cut off from their supply lines
Look, half the reason people come to NYC is the fact that you don't drive - you take cabs or the subways. I know drunkards that moved here JUST for the ability to get drunk at any time of day or night and get home without driving.
I could see Uber cutting down alcohol related driving accidents in any other part of the world - even in Queens or Brooklyn (as there are places far from subways that cabs don't visit).
But if you are drunk and driving in MANHATTAN, you should be put in prison for being stupid, rather than for DWI.
Of course by NYC, you really mean MANHATTAN. 80% of the NYC popluation lives outside Manhttan, most of them not withing walking distance to subway stations and far enough from Manhattan for a eye-watering cab bill. This without even mentioning the people living across the Hudson in NJ, many who work (and party) in Manhattan
There is a difference between "It can't be fixed" and "The #rightwingnuts refuse to fix it".
There is blame on both sides. The #rightwingnuts that refuse to acknowledge there is a problem and the #leftwingnuts that not only refuse to understand that Nuclear ang Natural Gas have to be part of a resonable solution but activly work to against them even as it is largely replaced with dirty alternatives aka Germany and Japan.
considering the scale of this project I am surprised the cost is only US$272 million, has technology to do this advanced that far or are the Norwegians just very efficient. hell a lot of large buildings cost considerable more than this
Simply blasting and moving rock by barge is not all that expensive. Of the original 5.25 Billion cost estimate for the Panama Canal expansion, nearly $3 Billion was set aside just for the Locks and they are largely responsible for the disputed, $1.7 Billion cost overrun as well. In traditional automotive tunnels, a large part of the budget is for connecting infrastructure to existing road networks as well as Ventilation and Fire Suppression systems, all of which is not a concern with this project
If you ever manage to get your systems back, you would have to be pretty stupid to trust they haven't been tampered with, whole disk encryption or not. They could have modified the Bios, Raid controllers or even the firmware on the drives themselves.There is no chance I would ever plug in those systems back to a network connection ever again. Take the data and start over, is the only way to be safe!
Why would you want to encrypt the entire filesystem, there isn't anything of interest in/usr/bin or other standard system directories.
Encrypt/home ,/var and wherever else you have sensitive data. the decryption key should be kept on a off-site server that hands your init.d script (or system.d whatever you are using) the key once it passes a IP address lookup and ssh authentication. If moved off site, the servers will not be able to receive the decryption key because the ip's won't match (you could simply drop connections from anywhere but your ip-block straight from iptables or do something more granular) or you could just shut off the authentication server alltogether
The problem with huge dragnets is that they catch lots of things you don't want. The Detectives and the DA are going to feel pretty stupid when they get back a 100 pages of IP addresses back from Google. You might try to narrow down the list using Geo-location services (with the assumption the fax originated from the same area) however even if the final list contains just a few dozen IP's there would be no chance of convincing a judge to order the ISP's reveal the subscriber info. Google or any security reseracher could have told them this is a waste of time, let them find out the hard way

How is it "surprising" that they are using lower bands that you yourself explain are "great for covering long distances," to do exactly that?
