It canâ(TM)t be considered critical enough. At work we have three teams that get alarms of expiring certificates, just to make sure it doesnâ(TM)t fall through the cracks. The next phase will be complete automation of the renewal process against the internal CA, with a review before the final deployment of the renewed cert.
Particulates from tires are a non-issue, as studies have discovered a species of bacteria that evolved the ability to consume vulcanized rubber, which has been doing just that for decades, eating the tire dust alongside roadways.
So, just because it's been happening everywhere, even though it's illegal, that makes it right? Okay, sure, we'll do that. I notice very few, if any, other first-world nations are pulling this kind of crap.
It's not really a function of price so much as a function of skill level. Most of the H1-B folks I've had the displeasure of working with had very little experience, skill, or talent. Were there actually a glut of workers in IT, I'd say it made sense, but there aren't, and it's getting worse every day as more are imported annually, displacing folks that make better business sense to hire in every aspect save for price. There's a saying, "you get what you pay for." It may look good on paper to replace that $150k/yr rock star programmer with five $30k/yr H1-Bs (supposedly illegal, but it happens, and more often than you think), but one high quality developer will consistently produce more and better code than an army of mediocre ones. The biggest issue with this is, even though IT business process automation represents a major part of a given company's competitive advantage, if all the companies in a market play the same game and begin to all suck equally, any lack of advantage due to poor systems becomes moot. As a result, what used to be smart work done by smart workers becomes the domain of the MyComputerCareer lowest-common-denominator. And real fast, we're all out of a job.
These studies suck. What was the coil temp? 3.8v? What was the power level? I'll say this, for most light-use coils, 3.8v will torch the ever living hell out of the fluids, burn the wick, and impart a foul taste so bad you'll throw the coil/wick assembly away if it's a replaceable unit. Example, I have a 0.16 ohm quad-coil unit set to 75w, and it's putting 3.46v through the coil to get that rated power. They've got to be pushing over 450F on the coil, and at that temp, it will burn a cotton wick, rendering the coil useless unless it's rebuildable. These studies are funded by people that have a vested interest in either A) government overreach, B) the tobacco industry itself, or C) the nanny state (but I repeat myself).
None of this is valid. I've run the output of my vaporizer (a Wismec Reuleaux RX200 with a SMOK TFV4 tank) through the local gas spectrometer at the college around here, and damn if there aren't all of five chemicals: water, vegetable glycerin, flavor, menthol, and nicotine. Exactly what's on the label. Surprised? I'm not.
That was never a goal of the system. The "4K" is referring to video playback and support for 4K content, not games. This should, however, get them to 1080P @ 60FPS for pretty much every game in the library, and they've said that there will be an update path for developers to allow their games to support the new hardware performance. I think it's one of the biggest wins in consoles, that we've reached the point where it's possible to have nearly perfect backwards compatibility with older games while hardware continues to improve, with only a patch update to the games to support ever-expanding hardware performance. It's straight out of the PC playbook, to be certain, but at console price-points, with console-level reliability and ease of use.
Someone needs to film said proclamations then have the Department of Labor take HP up on charges of collusion to set prices. Somewhere, that stuff has to be illegal.
I dunno about you, but I like to have at least the minimum protection that the products I buy somewhat resemble what it says on the box, rather than simply being a box full of a picture of a duck in a funny hat. Because fuck you, that's why.
Exactly how is putting lawyers out of business a bad thing? Other than the unemployment, these guys in specific have been some of the most usurious jackasses, problematic to a fault, and if machines can do this to them first, then there's hope for preventing large-scale unemployment by mechanized labor.
I think you hit the nail on the head with your "planting it" comment. There's no available computer power to search all the data in realtime, only to sift through it after the fact. Thus, it becomes all about catching someone after the fact rather than catching them before something happens. With such a system ripe for abuse, it becomes trivial to invent a crime where none may have existed so as to dispose of "undesirables." It's already been mentioned somewhere that surveillance is reaching for ever-more encroaching levels, but to what extent? What does the government hope to achieve?
I think they've seen the writing on the wall, that sooner or later our shaky systems of finance and employment are on the verge of a massive correction in the form of a significant crash, and they're hoping that by enslaving us all they can ensure their survival in the face of a massive public uprising, but that's just between you, me, and the microphone-laden wall. It won't work, never has, and likely never will. All that this will ultimately succeed in doing is guaranteeing a much harder swing-back of the pendulum when things finally do let go.
It's "well-regulated militia", and SCOTUS has already ruled that it's the second part that's more important, and of particular interest in firearms ownership and carry. Consider this: would that there were actual armed citizens present, with appropriate training, would 9/11 have been able to happen?
Your'e forgetting something: in most cases, managing operations is exactly what's required to continue "making product." Those that forget this are doomed to failure. Momentum may keep you going for a while, but eventually you'll hit the wall.
Great, so not only are you paying for a 24x7 staff to watch your ops, you're also paying someone else's overhead and profit margin. In the long run, it's still cheaper to bring things in-house once you're big enough.
3) Cut the cord, Great Firewall of America. We stop routing traffic to and from unfriendly parts of the world. For this work we have be willing to cast a broad net. You can't say lets cut off Afghanistan and Syria but let Pakistan and Iraq stay connected. After all the boarders weak and ISIS/Taliban/What have you will use the coffee shot the next town over if that is what they have to do. We would need to consider cutting off 'allies' (I use the term loosely) like Turkey and Saudi Arabia in regions know to be terror hot beds as well unless they are prepared to police things somewhat like option (2) although that is more practical in their societies.
Actually, it's pretty easy to do. The blocks are assigned out of a resource group, and you can simply black-hole (null-route) traffic sourced or destined to those/8 networks (for IPv4, v6 might be a little tougher). I used to block all of APNIC due to the high incidence of attacks that came from those networks.
And every Western nation that has banned firearms has seen a massive increase in every facet of crime that's not murder. Go ahead, look it up. UK Home Office of National Statistics. The UK has, by my last count, 800% higher violent crime per capita than the US, and nearly 2000% the property crime as the US. Either Americans are just way better behaved (unlikely) or guns act as a really great deterrent.
Then there's the slow creep of government overreach, but I won't delve into tinfoil hat territory just yet. Just remember that the first thing totalitarian dictators do is disarm their people.
It's pretty telling that should a Telstra user (who's experiencing slow performance) activate a VPN, suddenly they have no issues whatsoever downloading from the various Apple services. The only way this could be the case is if Telstra is intentionally throttling (by way of some QoS method) traffic destined for Apple's address ranges. Their claims of a cable cut are bald-faced lies, nothing more. That they've "fixed" it shows the degree to which they've been caught, and relented their behavior. While the motives for this remain to a certain degree unclear, it' appears to be yet another case of a big, unregulated "communications" company (I place quotes due to the obvious nature of their desire to bleed their customers for all they're worth) pushing around their users as though they were a commodity to be monetized. Hey Apple, you want to not look bad? Pay up or else!
I wonder how far off the OSX requirements will be. Typically OSX users pay a higher price for the kernel's greater abstraction between layers, although I've not really dug into the internals terribly deep for a few major revisions. Is that still the case or have the graphics APIs come along at a similar pace to DirectX? What's Apple calling it now? Metal? IIRC this is an IOS-only bit of tech, but it would help whole bunches for it to get ported to the main OS.
You're also ignoring the UK's monstrous rates of property crimes and violent crimes excepting murder. Seriously, it's a major problem they've not got a handle on.
Uh, no. The UK has 2000% and 800% higher property and violent crime than the US, respectively. The only thing they have the US beat on is murder, which is a bit of a special case as usually the victim and perpetrator know each other.
Exactly since when have auto manufacturers standardized on anything? Go to AutoZone. Look at the oil filters. There are literally dozens, and that's a pretty common part. Hell, there's not even such a thing as a standard oil. Manufacturers have _never_ created a standard part, everything is unique by brand and model, and I just don't see this being any different. Exactly how large a battery are we talking here? Maybe, if the range was 5000km, it might be useful, because that's about the range of a severe-duty oil change interval, but I guarantee that it won't be as cheap as an oil change.

Does Tesla? AFAIK, theyâ(TM)re non-GAAP for generating their numbers. That, plus the junk bond issuance? Run.
Get ready for a whole new round of internet censorship, brought to you by the Corporations, for the Corporations.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

I have several demos that suggest otherwise.

Mods: kill both this and parent, we're off-topic.
Unfortunately, the bulk of them are working harder sucking at writing software. Ask me how I know.

Famous for wasting money, time, and energy. Fusing any element larger than iron is energy-negative.
