I read blog posts every day so I know for a fact there are still blog readers. He didn't lose his audience to Facebook. His audience wandered off because posts were not forthcoming after his attavist theocracy locked him up.
You would think after surviving Iranian prison one would have more significant matters on the mind than petty navel gazing about "shamelessly luxurious condos" and "invasive SUVs". Maybe he had to throw that in to make it Guardianista-worthy.
Agreed. Amateur radio requires graduated license tests. The result is a sharp bend in the histogram from technician to extra class licensees; most of the flotsam are kept off frequencies that resonate planet-wide because most use of powerful HF bands is limited to licensees above 'technician.'
One can imagine a similar tiered system for UAVs. Start with telecommand PEP (transmitter power) of maybe 25mw at 5GHz and no return video or telemetry for unlicensed pilots. That keeps it line-of-sight by nature. Escalate from there.
There should be an exemption for traditional RC activity over recognized fields. Pilots operating over self-governing club facilities aren't a part of the recent `drone' drama and don't deserve this regulatory friction. That sort of reasonableness is probably beyond contemporary federal government mentality however; if you're not a giant corporation or powerful pressure group then you simply don't exist, as the long established AMA (Academe of Model Aeronautics) has discovered.
They take their profits in Ireland to avoid taxes. They build their products in Asia to avoid the EPA, OSHA, NLRP, EEOC, et al. They get to pick their preferred rules on both ends. Yay "free" trade.
Tim is ordinarily so smooth it's creepy; words like "crap" are outliers in his vocabularly. He messed up a little here. But no worries. They'll have him say we need to "do something" about LGBT rights or "do something" about the climate and all will be well again.
No EPA/OSHA/NLRB/EEOC/etc. We all know this. We all indulge the big lie, burnishing our morals by feathering our own regulatory nest while isolating ourselves from both the costs and the damage.
squiggleslash..... Dude! This is supposed to be a Comcast bashing topic. A new reason has been found to vent our hate for Comcast, and you come here with your corporate shill excuses, pointing out the long history of generally successful utility billing and try to ruin it! What, exactly, is your problem mister?
I want you to stop posting for a moment and make an effort to recompense us all for your mistake. First, you are to find a way to pin this billing problem on a Republican. It's Tennessee after all. This should be easy. Then, you are to generalize the matter until you get to Net Neutrality, and show us all how this threatens our future, our liberty and everything. Bonus points if you can find a racial angle, or some other related grievance.
Don't actually post your effort. It's for your benefit and you're not supposed to be posting stuff for a while. At least till Monday. Give yourself the weekend to reflect on how it is you found yourself deviating from appropriate groupthink and consider ways you might prevent this in the future.
This characterization that "the Internet" got it wrong is such a lie. This was a deliberate shaming of honest brokers by media savvy enviro-bullies because someone had the temerity to push back before they found themselves marooned in a glass hell. The Internet was lied to by these assholes and you, dear reader, need to be keeping score about who the bad guys in this really are; you're being lied to and soon their going to be around your town, bullying you out of whatever land you happen to care about.
But the meme is out there now, and it will resonate forever in the libtard echo chamber; stupid 'muricans think solar panels will suck up all the sun........
I'm not chemist either. There are some details on the present state of affairs here.
To you point, "Marc Edwards is a civil engineering professor from Virginia Tech University" says, "water is [becoming] corrosive and it’s causing this higher lead, the pH value is plummeting, it’s becoming more acidic." So yes, I mean to say lower pH, or more acidic.
Often not. A recent example I can corroborate is Detroit. Over 50% of households in Detroit are delinquent on property taxes; they're tax squatters and have been for many years. They famously don't pay their water bills either. Some large fraction of your "bazillion other taxes" are contingent on employment, which is another rare condition in these areas. Otherwise you're just deducting income taxes from benefit checks or paying sales tax with EBT credits.
If the water was acidic enough to leach the lead from 30' of pipe to reach these lead-levels then the people would be complaining of acid burns
More making stuff up. You can go read primary sources here, with pictures and everything.
In our tests, this condition was 8.6X worse than Detroit water. Assuming this rate applies to the actual city pipe system, the last 16 months on Flint River water would have aged the pipes about 138 months (138 = 8.6 X 16 months) or 11.5 years more than using Detroit water.
Leeching doesn't require concentrated acid. It's a function of time. Leave slightly high PH water in contact with lead solder for many hours and you get a pulse of dissolved lead the next time you open the tap.
GM dropped it's water contract with Flint earlier this year because of the high PH.
Do you seriously think the Flint River has those levels of lead as a natural effect?
No. No one seriously thinks that because the Flint River isn't the source of the lead and only ignorant morons like you believe it is. The lead is coming from the ancient plumbing in Flint because the naturally and well known high PH of the river water is leeching it.
Shouldn't the people who polluted the river bear some of the blame?
The lead isn't coming from waste. The river water is acidic and leeching lead from the plumbing. The largest contributor of acid to the river is decaying plant matter; leaves and whatnot. There is a lot of that in Michigan and inland water frequently has high PH levels.
But nice corporate hate rant. You've been trained well. The city of Flint — 100% anti-business Democrat since Johnson — ruins its own water supply and it's somehow the fault of "corporations."
US cities can and do have it. Just not your city. Your city is dysfunctional. Your city is governed by business hostile leaders and citizens that have impeded the necessary build-out. Congratulations.
I haven't had difficulty getting broadband service since about 2001. Recently I began living in semi-rural area and I have business class Internet service in my home. So don't extrapolate the faults of your little misgoverned libtard utopia across the rest of the US. We haven't all governed ourselves into an Internet backwater as you have.
I tend to agree in theory BUT the big corps will just take the H1B and a bunch of other jobs and move them elsewhere.
The quota would still be filled at the higher wage, but the H1-Bs would be higher quality and possess skills for positions that are actually difficult to fill, as opposed to just cutting labor costs. So it's a net benefit to the nation.
As for $110k still being too little for Silicon Valley et al.... whatever. It's a free country. Move. There are plenty of tech employers that exist in places where compensation is aligned better with costs. Your poverty is self-inflicted. Enjoy.
The press conference had to do with this D-Wave quantum computing system and its capabilities. It was not a forum for hashing out general security questions. The reporters question wasn't specific to D-Wave or anything in particular; just "government computers". And the panel didn't "shut down" anything, either.
This is another low quality click-baity "story" like that Intel-AMD crap that got posted yesterday.
Because there are a lot of zeros involved. The creator supposedly holds a large amount of bitcoin mined early on and now it's worth a fortune; $400-$1000 million, depending on who you believe.
Authorities see all those zeros and all precedent and due process go straight out the window; instant door kicking time. You could offer them proof positive of an ISIS cell with a chemical weapon in a Sydney residence and they wouldn't move this fast.
Exactly. Not allowing AR-15's and Glocks is why Paris didn't have mass shootings at Charlie Hebdo and the Bataclan. Mass shootings only happen in 'Merica like Obama told us.
Intel still sells stock coolers for all of their CPU's, they just don't ship with them.
Huh? The last two I personally purchased (Ivy Bridge i5-3570K and Skylake i7-6700) both provided a heatsink+fan.
Intel coolers are more than adequate unless you are going crazy with overclocking. Intel coolers don't bend Intel CPU's.
Both 100% true. The fans on the Intel coolers are quiet under common loads (gaming included) and the temperatures are in spec at all times. The only time I've ever heard the CPU get loud enough to matter was running prime95 to deliberately load the devices.
I don't know what "high pressures" kriston is talking about. The Intel cooler, particularly on the Skylake, didn't require high pressure to install. Honestly the Skylake case kind of confused me because so little pressure was needed.
This is about overclockers buying out-of-spec aftermarket stuff. Self inflicted.
Slashdot Mirror
Years of listening to europhiles prattle on and on about the wonders of diesel cars, and stoopid 'muricans with their cowboy gasoline hotrods.
So much for that noise. Let us know when you get your fleet fixed and burning gas.

Bernie Sanders wants to raise wages of H-1B workers - Nov 25, 2015
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wants to reform the H-1B program, in part, by "substantially" raising prevailing wages.
I tend to agree in theory BUT the big corps will just take the H1B and a bunch of other jobs and move them elsewhere.
The quota would still be filled at the higher wage, but the H1-Bs would be higher quality and possess skills for positions that are actually difficult to fill, as opposed to just cutting labor costs. So it's a net benefit to the nation.

I don't know about the 6700k. I didn't mention the 6700k. The post I replied to claims Intel doesn't ship coolers. You appear to believe this.
Here are four distinct unboxing videos showing the Intel branded fan+heatsink emerging from the i7-6700 Intel sealed package. Case closed.
