The maintenance guy laughed and told me that this was by design. If the florescent tubes go out every six months, maintenance â" and the leasing office, indirectly â" will have two opportunities each year to get into each apartment to look for problems not being reported.
Bullshit. What's happened is that the ballast is not working properly and the maintenance people make more money replacing tubes every 6 months than replacing the ballast.
Tristani was allowed to sit in the media area but said she was not allowed to move from there during the meeting. Other protesters were allowed only in an overflow room that had a video feed of the meeting.
It speaks to the current atmosphere,â she said of Washington after President Trump took office. âoeItâ(TM)s a Trumpian atmosphere not only with the press but with anybody who has a different view.â
This is Trump's legacy: thugs employed by the government feel immune to any restraint. The stories just keep on coming about this type of behaviour from government employees, for example, the abuses committed by ICE.
Look at the assaults committed by Erdogan's bodyguards. Yes, Erdogan has immunity as head of state, but his bodyguards don't. Why hasn't anyone been arrested and charged?
We can't have both ? Make it very efficient, all while allowing more headroom for power. That's how you use technology.
Two words for you: pumping losses.
With gasoline engines, the larger the engine, the larger the pumping losses. There has been some work with what are really variable size engines (shutting off cylinders, etc.) but they haven't been very successful.
It's because of this conflict that we now have turbo-charged engine: instead of making the engine larger, use a compressor to stuff in more air, but the amount of extra power that a turbocharger can achieve is limited.
What costs was Comcast incurring that the caching server/CDN node would have alleviated?
Are you so dense that you have to ask this question?
Read the thread and you will discover that in the predecessors to this post, someone claimed that Netflix was forcing Comcast to incur extra costs in transporting Netflix traffic across their peering points.
These Netflix caches provide a mutual benefit. Comcast didn't want that because they see their future profits coming from holding Netflix and other VOD providers to ransom.
No, you are showing your ignorance what is wanted in the real world.
So my driveway isn't "the real world"? When I park my electric vehicle and charge it overnight, does it transport itself to an alternative universe? Another reality?
I live with an electric vehicle. I suspect I know a lot more than you do about what's realistic.
Those long trips? They are the exception and, as you pointed out, even faster charging is coming soon.
Today, if you have a Tesla, you probably only need to wait about 30 minutes, and that wait can be while you eat or get a coffee. It's not like filling with gas where you have to stand by the vehicle while it is charging. Remember that you just spent 3-4 hours driving, so you probably need a break anyway.
As for that second article, ISPs are not obligated to give free datacenter space or network access to anyone, especially not a previously abusive user. Did Netflix offer to pay for the rack space and transit they wanted, or were they expecting another free ride?
That statement shows that you are simply a partisan prick.
Space in a datacenter: trivial cost to Comcast. Transit cost: effectively negative!
Netflix offered to reduce Comcast's costs and Comcast refused.
Comcast has shown themselves to be the abuser, time and time again.
Netflix was the cheapskate buying transit from other shitty providers and then acting like they had nothing to with the congestion issues that arose between their ISP and the ISP(s) of their customers.
My prediction is that, while Trump remains popular amongst people who voted for him, he will be safe from impeachment. Impeachment would likely turn these voters against the Republicans.
But once his base starts to turn away from supporting him, then impeachment becomes likely as Trump will be a liability to the Republicans instead of an asset.
Comey was investigating his Russian ties and Gingrich is calling for Comey to testify publicly about his firing.
I think that you will find that is fake news.
According to this article, Comey has declined to testify in private, but has indicated his willingness to testify in public. It's not clear if he has been officially invited to do so.
The ROI on this is probably insignificantly low, so we're stuck with this sort of shit.
I don't think you are using the term "ROI" correctly.
Setting up the whole ransomware attack could have been set up with a few hours work. $26K for a few hours work is a pretty good ROI, especially if you are not in a first-world country.
The issue is the damage caused to make $26k, but perhaps the ransomer doesn't care about that. It's an externalized cost.
Don't buy a house in an HOA area. If enough people realized what they were getting into, houses in HOAs would lose value and people would the whole HOA system would fall apart.
As I just posted in another reply, you sir are a clueless idiot.
The reason the FCC declared ISPs to be common carriers was because Verizon sued and won when the FCC tried to impose net neutrality rules without the common carrier status. The court sided with Verizon, but pointed out that the FCC could achieve its objective by making the common carrier declaration.
So, no, net neutrality cannot occur without doing this.
Breaking up the companies won't make an iota of difference. Well, maybe it will make an iota of difference, but only that. The smaller companies will not compete with each other. The issue is lack of competition for the last mile, which come about because there is a natural monopoly on last mile access, plus many cities have exclusive agreements with ISPs.
No, the solution is laws mandating access at wholesale prices for competing telecoms companies to the last mile connections. We could call these competitive companies CLECs. That's a novel idea, or, it was until the courts got rid of it.
If their violations were so obvious, what case can be made for going after their clients? I mean, sue the people who hired them to make the solicitation calls.
This. There is precedent in the UK: that's how pirate radio was largely shut down.
They will just abscond with their ill-gotten profits and form another company beyond the reach of the long arm of the law to continue raping and pillaging phone lines.
And this is where the Libertarian ideal is a crock. It won't protect against exactly this behaviour.
I don't believe the claim from the "tech advisor" that in his reply, "illegitimate" was the intended wording, because of the use of "a" instead of "an" and the other text in the reply.
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps if the NSA concentrated on cyber security instead of cyber attacks, this might not have happened?
State legislators continue to show that their concern for local government doesn't extend downwards from their own level.
The Federal level is too high, the city level is too low. The state level is just right: the "Goldilocks" level.
Bullshit. What's happened is that the ballast is not working properly and the maintenance people make more money replacing tubes every 6 months than replacing the ballast.
A Leaf with the 30kWh battery would handle that commute easily. Also, the range of the Chevy Spark would probably be sufficient.
But.... it does depend on where you live. I noticed a significant reduction in range during the very mild N. Cal winter in my Leaf.

Isn't that usually done by the journal's editors, who usually do the job unpaid?
So what value does the journal add? There may be some value, but now that the cost of publishing is effectively nil, the value is very small.
Are you so dense that you have to ask this question?

FTFY.
You are showing your own ignorance and biases about EVs. Nothing more.
Plugging your car in at home and allowing it to charge overnight avoids all those annoying trips to the gas station.
That statement shows that you are simply a partisan prick.
Space in a datacenter: trivial cost to Comcast.
Transit cost: effectively negative!
Netflix offered to reduce Comcast's costs and Comcast refused.
Comcast has shown themselves to be the abuser, time and time again.
Bullshit!
It's also quite telling that Comcast refused to install the content caches that Netflix and others offered for free that would have drastically reduced Comcast's peering traffic.
My prediction is that, while Trump remains popular amongst people who voted for him, he will be safe from impeachment. Impeachment would likely turn these voters against the Republicans.
But once his base starts to turn away from supporting him, then impeachment becomes likely as Trump will be a liability to the Republicans instead of an asset.
Or change their business model. With less competition, gas prices will go higher and there will be a profit on selling gas.
I think that you will find that is fake news.

It's also shaped so that air entering is not mixed with expelled air as much as a human's nose will do.
This. There is precedent in the UK: that's how pirate radio was largely shut down.
And this is where the Libertarian ideal is a crock. It won't protect against exactly this behaviour.
The missing claim here is that Section 702 produced actionable intelligence (and I don't mean of the "blackmail politicians" type).
Otherwise it's just more pointless spying on Americans. More meaningless waste of taxpayers' dollars.
The truth is a little more subtle. Podesta asked his his aids about the phishing email, who told him that it was legit.
I don't believe the claim from the "tech advisor" that in his reply, "illegitimate" was the intended wording, because of the use of "a" instead of "an" and the other text in the reply.
