When people say things like "without fear" they generally mean what a reasonable person would consider fear inducing.
That's actually less demanding than the law, which in the UK where Tim is from does actually require you to consider the other person's mental state to some degree, e.g. telling a suicidal person to kill themselves can get you in serious trouble.
Equally, most of the anti-PC speech I can think of is just attempts to smear and shut people down. Accuse them of calling you a Nazi, call them an SJW, demand your freedom of speech...
Discussion of anything controversial quickly gets derailed by people wailing "help help I'm being oppressed!" like a Monty Python sketch. They are usually careful to get their argument in before saying "but you can't say that any more" even though they just did.
Instead of complaining about it, just make your argument. If someone does call you something, tell them why they are wrong.
It depends on your needs. Even with this vulnerability of requires significant skill and effort to bypass the lock, so it's still very effective against most adversaries and has zero performance cost.
If you need SSD performance it's the only option. VeraCrypt is fantastic but there is a major performance hit, especially if you disable AES acceleration because if you don't trust the SSD presumably you don't trust that either.
Sure, some very vocal fans make a lot of noise about notches and headphone jacks, myself included, but do they represent the majority?
The number of companies introducing notches and removing headphone jacks suggests that they must be getting some market feedback. Contrary to popular belief they don't all just copy Apple, they do extensive market surveys and testing with potential customers all through the prototype stage.
It sucks but I have a feeling us notch hating headphone jack lovers are in the minority here. Most would prefer a bigger screen, battery and the like.
It's not just the tight curve radius, it's the much smaller "wiggles" in the track. When travelling at 250kph they are going to throw the car around really hard, possibly even off the rails.
I can't find the reference now but I seem to recall that Japanese high speed lines had a tolerance of 10mm/10m, travelling at similar speeds. The track is inspected every single night with a laser measurement system.
Strange that they didn't mention he cost then. If it was radically cheaper then showing the numbers would have been more impressive than giving people a ride through a completely ordinary tunnel.
A lot of businesses have to cover core hours that their customers demand, so can't easily change their working hours. They need people to be there to answer the phone 9-5. Switching to permanent DST would help the most people enjoy evening daylight.
No-one liked Spiderman 1. They just really wanted a good Spiderman movie and were hoping that Spiderman 2 would be better.
Transformers is the worst of that. I so want it to be good... And now the new one has the proper G1 character designs, I don't think I can resist watching it.
Interesting that they only have a couple of 100Mb/sec ethernet ports per 768 application processors. They must not be expecting to shift much data between cores.
Thanks for confirming my suspicion. This is just a basic tunnel, nothing special or interesting, doesn't demonstrate anything new or innovative. All they did was prove they can dig a medium length tunnel, which isn't exactly news.
I get the walk before you can run thing, but why is this news, why is Musk tweeting triumphantly that he built a bog standard tunnel that's not even state of the art, and why are they bothering to let people ride through it? I think most people have seen a tunnel before, maybe even had their car driven through one on a sled.
Looking at the video the track is nowhere near straight enough to support those kinds of speeds.
At that speed the track has to conform to extremely tight tolerances to avoid derailing the train or throwing the passengers around. I suppose they would argue that this is a test tunnel but surely one of the most important things to test is the ability to lay the track within those tolerances and maintain it at those levels during operation.
Japanese high speed rail inspects the track every night using a laser measurement system. The trains themselves are inspected from the outside after every run, and then more extensively every 36 hours. I guess they think that the sledges will need much less maintenance to safely maintain those speeds.
I'm unimpressed, so far all they did was dig a bog standard rail tunnel.
The only sensible way to do this, if you really must have remote access to the voting machines, is to have the machines connect to a VPN in your secure data centre. Anything that requires the machines to accept connections is a bad idea, they should be connecting to your secure network and verifying with up to date certificates and encryption protocols.
Incompetence is the correct answer. Their software sucks and is buggy. Installing updates and doing diagnostics on site is an expensive process, so the bosses demand it be made cheaper. They could do it properly, have the machine VPN back to their servers or something, but that requires infrastructure and administration... Cheapest option is just to enable FTP.
Security is an expense they don't need. If someone hacks their machines they can just play the victim and besides which failure isn't really a problem when you have he politicians in charge of the bidding process in your pocket.
I've never understood why good movies cost the same as bad movies.
Because they rely on people not knowing that a movie sucks and wasting their money on it. Before the internet existed it often took a while for word of a bad movie to get around. Nowadays that information spreads at internet speed. They haven't caught up yet.
Just look at movie trailers. They really don't want you to know the truth about most movies. Charging less for bad ones would just signal to people to avoid seeing them.
Also, movies should cost more on the opening weekend, and then decline in price each week.
Hollywood hates anything that devalues movies over time. Discounted DVD sales, rentals, TV broadcasts. They love things that keep the prices high, like DRM infected digital downloads and cinema tickets. They will always resist anything that drives down prices.
I'm still waiting for a cheap Star Trek style tablet that I can use for electronic document display. There are some reasonable ePaper based tablets but they are expensive, and the slow refresh rate makes browsing a bit of a chore.
On the one hand we have this useful driver that seems to be working well enough. On the other they left the enable by default flag set, probably by accident as they had to in there for development. Is it really a good idea to reject the driver and tell them that they should stop contributing for what is a fairly minor mistake?
Take off also produces a lot of pollution with the engines working hard. Hybrid planes that use electricity for the take-off and near major cities could have quite significant benefits for particulate pollution and of course noise pollution.

The iPad Pro costs about 10-15x too much, the software is craptacular (no SMB support or USB drive mode etc.) and the battery life is way too short.
Brother make some decent sizes ePaper document readers but they are also about 10x too expensive to be worth it.

Security is always a trade off.
Why does the bar have to be "offensive"? Why not "violates privacy" e.g. doxing and revenge porn?
Whatever the solution it's going to need to support spam filtering.
The focus is always on offence, but it's a straw man. Triggered snowflakes are easy to argue against, doxing and silencing not so much.

Fast and Furious Nine
Honestly I'm looking forward to that. 7 was great. The Rock took out a drone by landing an ambulance on it.

80% milk, 17% water, 3% coffee.
As opposed to people who drink 97% water and 3% coffee, otherwise known as "black coffee".
By that logic you drink coffee flavored water.
Milk or water, it's still coffee.
I don't know... They also found that people who have it with lots of milk are agreeable and personable, and I take like 80% milk.
True fact.

Couldn't find any evidence of that on Google. Got any links or search terms?
