the Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program announced that it would defer all equitable sharing payments for forfeitures, both civil and criminal, to state, local, and tribal partners for the foreseeable future.
They are still taking the money. Just not sharing it with local law enforcement.
Yes. But the path of the tunnel runs through what is essentially an old land fill. So the machine should have been designed to deal with old steam boilers, scrap iron, chunks of concrete/rebar, etc.
So there is a correlation between low IQ and poverty, more so in the USA than elsewhere. But which is the cause and which the resulting effect?
In countries without a mobile class structure, high or low IQ has much less effect on an individuals than in the USA. Your destiny depends on your ancestry and inherited position. In the USA, people are free to rise or sink to an economic level defined by their individual capabilities. The smart become wealthy, the stupid sink into poverty. The end result gives the same correlation between poverty and IQ, but for widely different reasons.
Otherwise, the design would need to be improved to mitigate or improve the handling of situations where only 1 piece of lat/lon data is available.
This is a good point. And it seems that the existing design accounts for the loss of one piece of data by the use of an estimation algorithm. This algorithm is the one that takes the last known heading and 'projects' an assumed position (sometimes incorrectly) along that route.
But here's the problem: That estimation algorithm is a Boeing-built (or subcontracted) piece of software, which means that it is tightly coupled to its data source. And rather than ensure that the bandwidth exists between avionics components to handle such a critical function, Boeing saw fit to 'fake' the data. And worse yet, transmit what appears to be valid ADS-B position data without flagging it as degraded. Even worse, we can assume that complete data actually exists on the aircraft data buses, since we are not hearing complaints from pilots that their nav displays are suddenly jumping 70 km.
I imagine that ATC software is capable of doing a reasonable amount of error detection and correction, displaying a last known position within an indicated error volume in airspace. And that ADS-B developers have considered how to handle missing transponder packets. So perhaps the best approach would be to send partial data, properly flagged and let ATC sort it out. Of course, this might result in lots of warning flags next to Boeing products on their displays.
Hotels and apartments are two completely separate classes of business under most zoning laws. So if it's an apartment, you can't run a one room hotel out of it.
Suppose rent controls force landlords to rent property out at below-market rates? Is it "fair" that a tenant can then sublet at market rates - even if the lease specifically prevents subletting?
Second things first: If subletting is prohibited, there is no AirBnB income.
If rent control forces landlords to limit their rates, then how can tenants rent (through AirBnB) at higher rates? Rent control is rent control. So why can AirBnB break the rules?
All share equipment and data streams. So what are the odds that a 787 broadcasting a bad position is also fooling surrounding aircraft into a collision avoidance maneuver (false positive) or tricking them into thinking the affected aircraft is not in conflict (false negative)?
In busy airspace, pilots cannot rely solely on ATC to maintain separation. So that's why these collision avoidance technologies were developed. Shame if they don't work correctly.
Therefore, humans eating animals are less efficient then humans eating plants,
What kind of plants? Ungulates are able to process much lower grade plant material than humans can. And much of their food can be consumed by grazing rather than raising them on cultivated food sources. Grasses are some of the most robust plant types and may very well expand into some of the more marginal environments as atmospheric CO2 levels rise. So there is going to be more food for cattle (cue the MOOOOO guy) and a resulting rise in the beef supply for people.
I installed Debian on a laptop some time ago. Occasionally I'd experience some temporary performance issues. A quick review of 'top' showed mongodb to be at the top of the process list, hogging resources. I've looked at a number of apps to figure out what might be using it and found nothing, so I killed it. Nothing seems to have suffered, so I just disabled its startup.
Is my understanding correct? Did FAA give Boeing the waiver it sought? Did Boeing take advantage of this waiver and mixed the traffic?
Yes.
Did this mixing of traffic result in the dropping of some GPS packets? I don't know. But if Boeing's example of error handling in this case is any example of their competency in managing critical systems in general, I'll be taking a train.
... is that the problem was traced back to the 787 avionics network. Information sent from the GPS (where the data originates) to the transponders (where it is sent out to air traffic control). This is the same network which attracted attention when Boeing asked for a special condition exempting the 787 from a requirement to isolate critical functions from things like the passenger entertainment system. Now, nobody has tracked down exactly what caused this communications glitch. And they may never do so. But their innovations may be coming back to bite them in the ass.
Because they are some of the most popular vehicles in Africa and the Middle East. I have a couple of Landcruisers* and people from Africa stop and talk to me when they see me with a nearly 40 year old truck still running fine. That's the brand's reputation back home as well.
