Now that I'm thinking about it, I'd have to go with S3 buckets being the one I can recall most stories about as well, but in many breaches it's often not stated what the backend is unless you start to dig into the details of the breach, and sometimes not even then, so who knows what the real breakdown is? Also, it's probably got as much to do with relative market share as anything else; if you have x% of the market, then x% of the breaches is going to be par for the course if your code and average level of user DBA competence are on a par with everyone else's.
Nor is the fix, at least without rooting the phone. You can "uninstall" these bundled apps without root via ADB (ideally having removed any app data via the normal Settings, Apps option first):
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
Although it's still only faking it; it's just removing it for the default user (user 0) so the stub remains on the phone's system partition - a full uninstall does require that you root the phone. You won't see it in the app list or be prompted for any further Store updates though, although it may get re-instated after a full OTA update.
Apparently some (but not all) government workers are pulling out of talks and other events as well due to the shutdown, CES included - Pai was apparently only the start of it, although I suspect, like Pai, some are probably just using the shutdown as an excuse. YMMV as to whether anything of value has been lost, naturally.
I agree that history being written by the victors, or survivors if you prefer, definitely applies and it's also obviously highly subjective; those inverted commas were there for a reason. I'm pretty sure that even some (but definitely not all) of the worst-regarded dictators in history had nothing but good intentions when they started out. History does tend to give a pretty favourable opinion of the Roman Senate when it was (briefly!) working as intended though, at least from the perspective of a significant majority of the citizenry, those that were enslaved or otherwise being invaded/oppressed would obviously have a different view - you certainly can't please all of the people all of the time. When you stop looking at the aggregate view and get down into the weeds of history though, then you're absolutely right; no matter how good the majority has it there are always going to be those who are getting the very, very, shitty end of the stick.
Historically, the one form of government that seems to get the most good things done is "Benevolent Dictator". Unfortunately, as history will also attest, most such leaders, or occassionally one of their successors, inevitably proves the maxim that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Unless you can come up with a way to maintain a party system akin to the Roman Senate at its peak and are ruthless in your removal of responsibility from those who start to waver from your defined constitution then the people are eventually going to need a way to change not just individual party members but the entire party.
Besides, even if you've got a one party system, there are still going to be factions within that party, just as today's parties have their Tea Parties, Brexiteers, Hardliners, Reformists, or whatever other name they might want to go by. It might be "The Party", but it's still going to be multiple parties in practice.
A combination of poor and inaccurate phrasing from TFA. The densest part of belt does indeed lie between Mars and Jupiter but, depending what objects you decide qualify as being part of the asteroid belt, outlier asteroids and those with highly eliptical orbits can be found all the way inside the orbit of Mercury to beyond Saturn. There are also three significant asteroid groupings that lie on the orbit of Jupiter (known as the Greeks, Trojans, and Hildas). Bennu's orbit also happens to just cross that of Earth - it has to really, or there wouldn't be an impact risk - but the majority of it does indeed lie between Earth and Mars, although it's always much closer to Earth's orbit than that of Mars.
Yep. That was my thought too; surely the ranking member of each government department subject to the shutdown would have to be considered as essential personnel? At the very least *someone* has to give the order to staff to return to work, so this is yet more cowardice from Pai, pure and simple. Still, given that his boss is Donald "You're Fired!" Trump, perhaps he ought to consider the possibility that Trump might be peering out of the Oval Office window with a pair of binoculars per this Dilbert classic.
Kind of related, but there are currently no $1T companies after the stock market tumbles of the last year or so. According to the chart in this article on Apple's update, all the FAANG companies are now firmly below $0.8T, and Apple now has the US' fourth largest market cap, behind (in order) Microsoft, Amazon and Google, having fallen somewhat more sharply than the rest.
Now when you download somebody's digital life works, or other intellectual property, in the form of torrented movies or games, etc. some other unknown third party can directly profit by making it available to you for a little bitcoin?
I think you missed the part about the utility of having your torrenting of somebody's digital life works, or other IP, permanently recorded in a blockchain to the MPAA, RIAA, and their like. Sure, if you want that *NIX ISO or some Creative Commons a little quicker then perhaps, but anyone with a clue who wants to commit a little copyright infringement is going to avoid this - and, if they're paranoid enough, the client too - like the plague.
The crater is named for Theodore von Kármán a prominent early rocket scientist who is better known for the Karman Line, the notional point at which the atmosphere becomes too thin to support aeronautical flight. This is also referred to as the point at which space begins and is defined by the FAI at 100km, although the USAF and NASA award outer space badges at 80km and the actual point will vary depending on atmospheric conditions. In that light, it seems quite likely that KSP named their character as a nod to both von Kármán and Werner von Braun, so yes, there is a relation of sorts.
It actually has a basis in fact - the "experiment" was conducted - but people tend to use the analogy in the context of the frog getting boiled. In fact, the frog will actually jump out of the water once it becomes too warm for the frog, so the correct usage would be to either describe the scenario and posit a "what you you do?" type scenario, or make the actual outcome clear with the implication that even a frog is smart enough to get out of the water.
Nope, I know full well what the saw is about and the literal intent of the statement. You apparently missed the sarcasm over the implied irony in mine over your use of one tired old saw to dismiss another though. Still, while we're on the topic:
Liberia and Myanmar also still officially use the imperial system and neither have even launched a space probe, let alone put a flag on the moon, so the statement is actually demonstrably false as a logical construct.
Notes from multiple European engineers on the various early NASA space projects show that they used the metric system for calculations and drawings, at least in part, so it wasn't just the Imperial system that ultimately got Apollo to the moon. (Given how that hybrid usage worked out for the Mars Climate Orbiter, it would be quite interesting to know how many measurement system conversion errors were caught due to NASA's diligence of checking everything multiple times, but alas that data point doesn't seem to have been recorded, at least not in any public source I've found.)
The US - like the rest of the world - uses metric for pretty much everything connected with STEM or that matters that isn't entirely contained within its own borders, and much of the stuff that is besides. For its part, NASA ostensibly transitioned to metric around 1990, although some imperial usage does persist, most notably on the ISS, and made it official in 2007. The only real difference compared to the legacy usage in the UK is that at least the US didn't bother to make metric official before deciding to pick and mix.
Really, *both* the metric vs. imperial saws are stale, wrong, and need to die.
Yes, along with Pallas, Juno, Vesta. In total 37 asteroids were assigned planetary symbols, although astronomers realised these were not actually "proper" planets about 50 years after Ceres was first identified and recategorised them.
This tired old "flag on the moon" flame again? Sorry to bust your bubble, but I'm pretty sure that both the USSR and China use(d) the metric system as well. Not sure about the Lunakhod rovers, they may have just have the "CCCP" text, but Chang'e 3 definitely had the Chinese flag on the side.
It's also the "done thing" where I am in the UK, and that's despite soil here being saturated with nitrates since so much of it was essentially marshland until large scale drainage for agriculture a few hundred years back. Sure, we have a lot of cash crops (at least until the EU stops paying out the subsidies) that a given region's soil lends itself to that get more land than any other crop each year, but crop rotation, or just allowing fields to lie fallow for a year or two, is a given. Most farmers will also plant multiple crops each year in the same field as much as possible, typically harvesting one in spring and the other in the autumn, or using it for livestock. Crop leftovers such as stalks, roots, non-salad leaves, etc. are generally left on the field for a bit, then ploughed right back into the soil.
Other than a few pastures, typically close to the farm where animals are kept over winter or on hillsides that are not really suitable for crops, I don't think I've noticed any fields that always have the same crop year after year. Unlike the US though, we don't really have that many massive fields - a few tens of acres is probably the norm, and they're also typically fenced, hedged, or dry stone walled off from each other - so I guess that also lends itself to crop rotation much more readily than some of the vast expanses I've seen while in the US midwest.
What's retarded here is the grasp of English, both in the writing of TFA/TFS (which is clearly lacking clarity) and the comprehension of what was written (lack of clarity aside, at no point does it actually state that the FTC sent an email to any Netflix users, let alone all of them).
AFAICT, all the FTC has actually done is made a blog post on their website - the linked "flare" - about some phishing emails that were sent by scammers targetting Netflix users. We don't even know how accurate that list was, it could easily have been the usual shotgun blast like all those other phishing emails you get for banks etc. you've never done business with.
Not in the UK, which is something that badly needs addressing, IMHO. It's *far* too easy to ruin someone's life just on the grounds of a faked accusation these days, especially if you are accusing a public figure or someone with celebrity status and/or can get a little rightous indignation going from the tabloids on the back of a legitimate movement like #metoo or whatever. There are already some nebulous getout clauses for the media for cases "in the public interest", but realistically I think the anonymity of all parties should be protected until formal charges at the very least, and ideally until the matter is settled in court, at which point the court may also opt to rule on any limits on disclosure. Obviously if any party chooses to waive their right to anonymity that's their decision to make, and in the case of the accuser doing so them there may be a case of that also removing the protection of the accused, but that is certainly not something that the media should decide upon.
This. The GP cites Elon Musk / Tesla, but completely fails to consider the huge amount of overstated negative press that gets thrown around every time Tesla makes even a minor misstep. Tesla is apparently one of the most shorted companies in US history, yet seems to be (mostly) doing the right thing and, when things do look a little marginal, getting themselves out of the fix. Who has the most to gain from this exaggeration, and thus according to Occan's Razor is most likely to be the prime contributor to it? Yep, the short sellers. They have their place, but it's far from as black and white as the GP seems to think.
Drones weigh about the same as some birds, but contain more rigid/robust structural elements and, typically, fairly volatile LiPo batteries which often combust pretty easily if damaged, although not necessarily explosively. Birds have been documented to cause significant, even catastrophic, damage to fragile elements of aircraft's fuselage, especially the nose, cockpit, and engines which are the most likely points of impact, so the assumption is that a drone impact would be at least comparable, and probably worse. It should be noted however that many impacts on airliners are on the nose, which is not a structural element but a rather flimsy cover over the radar assembly so any impact there always looks a lot worse than it actually is in terms of overall airframe integrity.
It's also entirely possible that the recovered drone is a fly-away from an earlier, and otherwise perfectly legal, flight that just happened to run out of power wherever it was recovered. I'm hoping that if the police do manage to establish the formerowner they are a little more circumspect in their follow up, and take a little more care in ensuring that there isn't a second media witchunt if the tabloids manage to somehow learn that as well.
All indications are that the media worked out the identities some of them (not all, it has to be noted) and decided to run with it on the assumption they were guilty. Possibly that was via a tipoff from within the police force, possibly from the same neighbours who tipped of the police in the first place, or possibly even through actual investigation of their own. Regardless, and unlike in the US, it's certainly NOT the policy of the various police forces in the UK to release the personal details of suspects, or even those formerly charged with a crime for that matter. This is 100% on those elements of the media that decided to publish and be damned or, more accurately I hope, publish and be sued for libel.
Pulling out of Syria is him hitting back at them for it.
DNC vs. GOP issues aside, people have been saying for decades they wish the US would just GTFO of the affairs of other countries and stop interfering. The world is going to be a much better place as a result - if they're correct. Regardless of the reasons behind the decision, at least with Trump's insular approach we're going to get some idea of how valid that position is over the next few years, right? Well, assuming that the more likely scenario of either the Russians (Syria and the rest of the Middle East) or Chinese (Far East) moving in to fill the vacuum and providing a same shit, different day result.
Of course, if you're actually on the ground in Syria and on the "wrong side" of those that now hold the advantage in terms of power and equipment, the short term outlook isn't looking too good. Consider what happened when the Viet Cong swept south following the US withdrawal from Viet Nam, for instance - the Kurds need allies *fast* to protect themselves from Turkey, and where do you suppose they might turn for that support?
It's making a point about medical researchers making assumptions and/or cherry picking situations/test candidates that will skew results towards a preferred/anticipated outcome. The Christmas issue of BMJ is intentionally lighthearted, something that probably should have been made clearer in TFS to avoid the amount of "WHOOSH!" that's going on.
And from this I can conclude that either you did not actually read it, failed to comprehend what you read, or (just possibly) really took issue with how they presented their point, despite the Christmas issue of BMJ being intentionally lighthearted.
Hint: this has nothing to do with people jumping out of planes and everything to do with the extent that medical researchers assume things are so rather than actually demonstrate that is the case.
5kg is absolutely a major problem in the right circumstances. The nose of a plane (where this impact occurred) is generally a pretty flimsy cover for the radar system and has a very limited amount of structural integrity in order to be radar transparent, so even a fairly small bird can cause a lot of damage. There have been instances where the resulting investigation has concluded that similar amounts of damage were caused by hailstones, and even *air pressure*. Google images of "airplane radome impacts" and you'll find plenty of examples and their most likely causes.
A few people have brought up the materials difference of a drone vs. a bird, but I'm not seeing many mentions of F=ma yet; the velocity of the impact is obviously going to play a major part in the level of damage for a given object. Keep in mind that most in-flight impacts are going to be on the front profile of the plane due to the direction of travel, which includes the radome, engines (turbine blades are not as fragile as the radome, but are still fairly brittle), cockpit windows (armoured glass, but again, F=ma), some flight control surfaces, and (potentially) the landing gear. Basically, lots of opportunity for that unfortunately specific bit of damage that could really ruin your day.
