Today we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives.
We have created for the first time in all history a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts.
Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth.
We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause.
Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion.
We shall prevail!
(amazingly ironic, given the current Apple, who've realized a "garden of pure ideology...secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts" in their iThing walled garden which they rationalize as protecting people from themselves)
Put an airlock on either end of the loading area. The "train" itself consumes most of the volume of the tube, so there's very little volume in the remaining space. Once it's sealed, you can bleed the relatively small amount of air into the very large volume of the rest of the tube.
Hyperloop doesn't run in a vacuum, just very low pressures of about 1 millibar (~ 1/1000 normal pressure). Just napkin math, but let's say the loading area is 1/10 mile long, and the distance between stations is 100 miles. Releasing the air in an atmospheric pressure loading area empty of a train into the tube running between stations would only increase the pressure in that section to 2 millibar. But, the train itself is the bulk of the volume, let's say 9/10. Now, releasing the air surrounding the train into the tube only results in an increase from 1 millibar to 1.1 millibar. I suspect the design accommodates much more variance than that. If you're at an intermediate stop, you can vent to the section of tube the train just arrived from, and not effect the next leg at all. And that can be improved upon - have a vacuum tank which is equal o the volume of the loading area, right next door. Now, you can quickly vent to that, reducing the initial pressure to 1/10 (the train takes up 90%, so there's a 10:1 volume ratio), and then vent into the tube, so now you're only talking a 1% increase of pressure in the tube.
All of which can happen quite quickly, you fucking dumbass moron.
The elusive 6.605 pre-release fell between 6.149 and 6.167 -- and "It is not known what possessed IBM to assign it a completely out-of-sequence number."
Maybe they had parallel development paths for a while, before deciding which way to go. That would make it being "half an OS" literally true.
That's not quite right. It's always been a simple majority for the Senate to confirm their consent for a court nominee. What changed is cloture - a purely procedural rule which previously required 60 votes in order to close debate and move on to the confirmation vote.
The abuse of rules is actually done by those who vote against cloture as a means of avoiding the actual vote. The only valid reason to vote against cloture is if there is still a bona fide need for additional debate. When those who wish to block a vote filibuster, filling the chamber with readings of Shakespeare, or phone books, or Dr. Suess, and then vote against cloture, it's a clear indication that bona fide debate was already complete and they're only abusing the rules.
No, it isn't. It disables more than just the fingerprint based Touch ID. From the article: "In the iPhone 7, both Touch ID and return-to-home functionality are locked by software if you replace the button." That is, it doesn't even function as a home button.
So, you think these others somehow know the specific details on Syria's planned attacks, including exact location and timing, so they're able to move chemicals and personnel into position in preparation for a split second coordination with the attack.
You've been wearing that aluminum foil hat for so long, it's given you dementia.
Russia has already admitted it was a Syrian government airstrike at Khan Shaykhun. They simply deny that chemical weapons were dropped, but instead claim that the chemicals came from a rebel chemical plant which was hit.
It's not clear why you think "other actors" were involved, or when ISIL got an airforce.
"As a rider, I don't give a fuck WHY it's cheaper for me. Cab companies here flat suck. I suffered permanent injury because of one stranding me, forcing me to walk several miles"
So, it's all about you, and blaming others for things you won't take personal responsibility for. With that attitude, you'll never have a happy life.
Hint: walking a few miles is NOT a hardship, it's part of life.
In this instance, they're defrauding the customer. They pay the driver based on the shortest route, and if they charged the customer for the same, it would be fair. But they don't, they charge the customer for a longer than necessary route. So unless they're making up impossibly short routes, it's the customer, and not the driver, they're stealing from.
"they are still way cheaper than a taxi despite all the BS"
Hard figures needed. Because, although the rider may pay less, Uber heavily subsidizes rides, and those subsidies must be included as part of the true cost when comparing with taxis.
It's said that Uber subsidizes over half the cost of a ride, so the true cost would be at least double.
So, we should expect the price to the rider to be less than half the cost of a taxi if they're truly cheaper. But, that doesn't appear to be the case. In fact, only when you add a 20% tip for the taxi driver, and only in one city, does that hold true (numbers are old, feel free to dig up more recent ones). In some cases, Uber is more expensive, even without considering the subsidies.
"If I was GM I'd rather have them talk out via (properly configured) HTTPS to the vendor at a fixed IP or range of IPs than setup a VPN to the vendor."
If you were you, you wouldn't have a clue about how an IPSec VPN actually works.
Why would they "connect them to the Internet?" There have to be a very limited number of robot suppliers, why wouldn't they just have VPNs specific to each to handle these service needs? Going through the Internet via a secure VPN is very different than connecting to the Internet.
(having said that, it's more than likely that's exactly what they're doing, and the summary/article has simplified it to the point of just being wrong)
Whoosh. Nor did the OP, who was sarcastically pointing that out. If you had bothered to read the article, the tripling was in reference to total debt, not the average personal debt figures given in the summary.
And it's not clear what you think your formula represents. The GP was correct, as far as the average debt figures given in the summary. The tripling of debt is mentioned in the actual article, and refers to total student debt.

Yep. If your (name of computing device here) is compromised,your (name of computing device here) is compromised.
Maybe they'll get a Nobel prize, just like Obama.

Uh, Godwin's law? If "new submitter dooode" hasn't heard from the news, drawing any such comparisons is very much off-limits.
Sorry he was killed, but some Spotify exec dying is very minor news. What did the three other people do for a living?

So, you think the home function only works for a registered finger. You're dumber than you sound.
No, it isn't. It disables more than just the fingerprint based Touch ID. From the article: "In the iPhone 7, both Touch ID and return-to-home functionality are locked by software if you replace the button." That is, it doesn't even function as a home button.
Don't you feel ignorant now?
Then the proper behavior is to simply ignore the new fingerprint reader, and force the user to always use a passcode.

"As someone who owns 2 iPads older than that..."
I wasn't aware that there was an iPad before the 1st generation one. WTF are you talking about?
I see your problem. You don't understand routing or firewalls, and think VPN means all-or-nothing. It doesn't.
"If I was GM I'd rather have them talk out via (properly configured) HTTPS to the vendor at a fixed IP or range of IPs than setup a VPN to the vendor."

Non sequitur. The title was giving a multiple ("nearly tripled"), not an increase.
"34 / (34 - 20) = 2.4%"
Say what?
34 / (34/20)
34 / 14
~2.4
240%
And it's not clear what you think your formula represents. The GP was correct, as far as the average debt figures given in the summary. The tripling of debt is mentioned in the actual article, and refers to total student debt.
