...and went through paperwork hell to get basic services established. Even after I had water, electric, telephone and sewer, I couldn't get cable services because their mapping service didn't believe the address existed, and the effing USPTO still can't manage to deliver mail because they insist on filling the PO box with junk mail and cancel service when I don't empty the box frequently enough.
Because "everyone" knows that an OUI can be trivially looked up, so the fact that they needed outside consultants to tell them shows their pathetic level of understanding.
"Classic confinement is intended as a stop-gap measure to enable developers to publish applications which need more access than the current set of interfaces enable. Over time, as more interfaces are developed, snap publishers can migrate away from classic confinement to strict.
Classically confined snaps must be reviewed by the snap store reviewers team before they can be published in the stable channel. Snaps which use classic confinement may be rejected if they don’t meet the requirements.
Users should not attempt to override a strictly confined snap to make it ‘classic’ as this undoes the confinement and interfaces defined by the developer. In addition applications published as strict snaps may misbehave when installed with the ‘–classic’ switch."
The SNAP version of VLC on Ubuntu doesn't work to play video files mounted on NFS, and hasn't been able to do this for months after the bug was posted.
Even worse, the SNAP version of VLC cannot play video files from an NFS mount. This bug has been posted for months with no resolution, demonstrating once again Ubuntu's obsession with shiny distractions over making their distribution truly functions.
(Sarcasm intended.) It's a good thing that these problems were found in defensive systems, thus ensuring that Mutually Assured Destruction can continue to be our world security policy.
Even though this security audit found numerous problems, surely none of this kind of stuff is going on in our country's offensive ballistic missile systems....and it's not as if we have a President that goes around goading other country's rulers to lob a nuclear missile or few in our direction, so we have nothing to really worry about.
On North Korea, it's clear that we have a very decisive and insightful President who is doing a great job staying on top of their development of new sites for launching nuclear weapons: "Maybe they are. Maybe they’re not. I don’t believe that. I don’t. And, you know, could. And which is — if it — if that’s the way it goes, that’s the way it goes. You know, I go with the way we have to go," [ Trump interview on Fox News with Chris Wallace, November 2018 https://www.foxnews.com/transc... ]
Besides, these defensive systems already fail about 20% of the time on carefully structured tests where everything is tuned up and the brass is watching, so we already knew we couldn't depend on them. https://www.mda.mil/global/doc...
Ajit Pai's FCC's definition of internet service as an "enhanced service" relies upon a ludicrous claim that DHCP service, which advertises a DNS service, that a user has no obligation to use whatsoever, qualifies it. Everyone is free to use whatever DNS service they wish just by sending DNS requests to someone else, but the FCC definition assumes that an ISP's DNS service is irrevocably bundled with the handling of IP packets. The FCC is simply wrong, and someone, someone, anyone, please, with enough legal savvy and authority to call them out on their false assumptions needs to do so to resurrect common carrier protections and network neutrality.
Anyone who configures their router or computer already has the capability to send their DNS service requests to anyone other than the ISP, and the recognition of that simple fact blows a giant hole in the FCC's justification for their inability to support network neutrality.
I went to the trouble to look at the patches themselves, and they appeared to be lacking any documentation of which test case that was failing was fixed. If the bot did a better job of documenting the rationale for the patch, perhaps they'd get a better acceptance rate. (And by the way, the acceptance rate wasn't reported in the article, only that 5 patches were accepted over a 6 month period. - Was that 5 out of 6, or 5 out of 100?) Otherwise, I'd think that a program-generated patch, that indicated that it fixed a failing test case and didn't cause any additional failures in the test suite, and clearly indicated that it wasn't claiming proprietary rights to the patch would be generally welcome. I don't see the need for any secrecy.
....it was the choice of cost function. They could have chosen the cost function so that no school had their time moved up more than, for example, 30 minutes. The end result might not have saved as much in bus costs, but by removing the objectionable results, they might have successfully implemented the optimized schedule. If they had asked parents about acceptable start times in the surveys, surely they should have exposed the problem up front.
This wasn't even a piece of space junk - it was a object purposely made and launched from the mother satellite. This reduces the complexity by major factors: 1) this junk was of the perfect size and shape to be captured by the net 2) it was nearly matched in speed to the capture net 3) it was at nearly the same velocity (speed and directly) 4) it was in the exact effing orbit. 5) The resulting combination then slowly de-orbits, using up all the equipment.
This means that you have to have one of these gizmos for each piece of junk. If you boost several gizmos at once with one mothership that has all the maneuvering capability, you're going to use up lots of maneuvering fuel to match orbits with each object. If you boost each gizmo separately, you'll need even more boost fuel.
Can I offer a wild-ass guess that increasing buffer space on the DAC chip can allow the phone to extend the time between wakeups and thereby spend more time sleeping, extending battery life?
In this context, Mindfulness is an oxymoron, where to become mindful is to remove oneself from one's own mind. It's the application of adding a level of indirection (*) to every variable. For myself, I've rather make everything inline and register variables.
If you actually read the Op-Ed, it's very clear that the "Resistance within the White House" is not the "Deep State" that Trump whinges about. This "Resistance within the White House" is a part of the radical right wing of the Republican party that finds Trump repugnant but wants to stuff in as many tax cuts for the wealthy and ultra-conservative judges as possible before the Trump White House is consumed by hellfire. There is NOTHING honorable that they can claim to be accomplishing by doing so.
One of the popular hashtags regarding this publication is #VeepThroat, based upon the use of use of the word "lodestar" in the op-ed. It's not at all clear that this is dispositive, or even a willing or unwilling false-flag signal. But the term is enticing, particularly as Woodward's "Fear" is coming out on 9/11.
By itself, the statement "94% accuracy" means nothing - without an understanding of the rate of false positives and false negatives in the diagnoses. Because of the generally low incidence of the specific diseases in the general population, better than 94% accuracy could be easily achieved by a black box that says "healthy" with respect to all diseases to be diagnosed. Of course, such a black box is totally useless, though it certainly could "transform medical care"!
There's nothing in the article and nothing in the IG investigator's report that suggests that Wilde "signed official government documents stating that it had been done." It's more as if performing the check will cause an application to be flagged if the NICS check shows disqualifying information, but applications will still be approved even if no check is performed, as no disqualifying information has been collected. TFA also states that the NICS is use to find "non-criminal" disqualifying information, and that separate NCIC and FCIC criminal checks _were_ performed.
Read it carefully: what it says is that they found 365 applications where Wilde was supposed to have done a "further review," presumably to the NICS database, based upon some other criteria (the precise criteria is unstated, but characterized as "non-criminal disqualifying information"), and when that "further review" was performed, 291 were found to be ineligible.

Even the above post says "many years ago." 110+220 V power adapters that don't require an explicit switch ARE the norm these days.

The rest of the time, what are you going to do with a car that has no steering wheel?
