They'll just grow the average finance term to 9 years (it's over 6 now) and the sheeple will eat it. They won't stop eating it until their shivering in the dark, hungry.
Everyone you know who has a VW TDI has groupthink inflated MPG. They all get 70 MPG uphill both directions in a headwind and they prattle on about it to anyone that will listen.
Or they use to. Then they found out they are operating a public heath hazard and have become much quieter. Which has been nice.
we have no proof that thin thread would of actually worked
Actually, we do. Preparation for the attack didn't start weeks before 9/11. The plan originated in 1996 and the first hijacker/pilots arrived in the US in late 2000. If you stipulate that the timeline given in the summary is correct then "ThinThread" was in place and operating during the longest part of the preparations and it didn't impede anything. Again, assuming the timeline is correct then this is inarguable; we have our proof.
This documentary and it premise are bullshit. It's a particularly ugly species of bullshit as well; political narrative making. This "ThinThread" nonsense has been rattling around the left-wing echo chamber for many years now after getting started in the Baltimore Sun in 2006. It persists because it fits the world view that seeks evidence that 9/11 is "Bush's fault;" Bush killed the Clinton program that might have saved us.
So now they've made a "documentary film" out of this bullshit so all the libtards can cream over it. What a great contribution. No surprise this crap gets featured here either.
The people that put enough money into a Kickstarter campaign to actually hurt them or even upset them when it vanished are fools. I discount their feelings as such.
This planet is filled with legitimate manufacturers making multiple versions of everything physics, our knowledge and our laws will permit. If the toy you want is that important to you then go buy it from one of them.
investigate
Naturally. Bellow for cops. Cops will make everything better.
Always a rational why you aren't supposed to be on the list for "using less." Two others just like you; "I already use less, so I'm exempt. Make someone else use less." Always the same self-serving story.
Why not just cut back on fossil fuel burning? Oh no's, can't have that, can we?
You first. Start by recycling that power burning collection of polymers and rare earths you use to post things. Takes a lot of Chinese coal to make those.
Aside from most of your comment being incoherent I'd like to hear your remedy. Is some authority supposed to force the Minnesota Democratic party to support this candidate? Should his oppressors be punished in some way for criminally criticizing him?
I'd really like to know what you think should happen to correct this injustice.
There MUST be some set of indirections we can cobble together to tie this to Big Oil, Bush, banksters and all the other fair game I've been trained to hate. Somehow, just somehow this HAS to be capitalism's fault.
If you can add $10 to that rtl-sdr.com sell R820T/RTL2832U dongles (on Amazon) with temperature compensated oscillators, SMA connectors and other nice features for SDR experimentation. Start with that if you imagine using upconverters, front-end filters, etc.
You'll want a short USB pigtail for these devices, though; they are fairly large.
I've seen this as well. They're called "retirement homes," and they're populated with indigent elderly living on their government benefits. There are huge buildings full of them near all major public hospitals in the US.
How naive can you be? This isn't about "shoddy planning" or missing requirements. Those are symptoms.
Immigration is a political football. The immigration service is completely politicized, employing bureaucrats that bend to the will the prevailing administration, overlooking whichever laws need to be ignored and neglecting whichever projects need to be neglected, to avoid getting fired. The Powers That Be DON'T WANT an efficient, cost effective system, or they'd have applied the necessary attention to achieve it. They prefer the unmanageable, un-measurable, un-traceable mess just as it is.
We all know the oil reserves will be severely depleted by 50
Since the largest single source of anthropogenic CO2 is from coal, which is the most rapidly growing source of energy in the world and will remain abundant well beyond the next 50 years, running out of oil doesn't actually matter. Especially since our climate policy is about left-wing political prerogatives and not actual emissions, so we exempt all of the largest and fastest growing coal burners from limits, guaranteeing any CO2 emissions we might prevent ourselves will be matched and far exceeded by others.
You point is self evident to anyone that isn't a petulant little office drone wasting his employers time on Slashdot. A storage device is only one component in a system; this demo involved the Oracle software stack, CPU cores, RAM, PCI express bus and finally a storage device. Given this the results they've shown by changing only the storage device are pretty amazing.
Treaties only we obey. Let it rot another quarter century and if — after that time has passed — China and Iran want to sign+ratify, we'll see. In the meantime, pursuing this non-problem serves as evidence that we've solved all of our actual problems.
We're now over 30 minutes into an automotive related story and so far not one TDI neckbeard has chimed in about getting 69 mpg while towing a boat uphill.
Wonderful. I don't know if the scandal will ever improve anything with regard to emission standards, but I am certain the Internet has already been improved.
Boom. The other word for "nitrate salts" is "bomb."
For better or worse, we're all going to be reading about the unhappy end of a molten salt storage system somewhere. Either a steel melting all-alarm fire or a smoking crater.
Yes, the 1911 is preferred in some circles. Inside the military there is desire for "prestige" weapons, and limited issue of boutique Colts have occurred for this reason. Outside the military you find a lot of dick waving by arm chair warriors; there is a species of shooter that salivate over the big.45 and mythologize Browning. None of this is relevant to procurement of a standard issue weapon, and the US won't be selecting the 1911.
Regarding people "who kill people and break things" the 1911 and the.45 ACP has seen almost no adoption beyond the US military, and law enforcement mostly ignored the 1911 for 70 years until good semi-autos appeared. The rest of the world has never shared our fetish for that gun.
I've heard `men' complain about the size of grips on double stacked* pistols. The M9 grip is indeed bulkier than other double stacks.
I feel like too much attention is paid to these complaints. Sufficient training can overcome slightly too large grips. No amount of training can make up the lost capacity of a single stack magazine.
Capacity is really important. There is a ratio of shots to hits in combat and it's relatively high; I've read 12:1 and 15:1 from different sources. The peanut gallery will cry "aim!" and they can be safely ignored; real combat frequently precludes careful aim, and suppressing fire is a standard and important tactic, even with handguns. Better to have more rounds.
There are a large number of women in the US military. They're typically not found at the tip of the spear with the Rangers or whatever, but that doesn't mean they don't need weapons. Is it necessary to complicate military sidearms to accommodate their smaller size? I don't think so; a modern polymer double stack the size of a Glock 19 is perfectly usable by anyone larger than a child, weighs a lot less than the M9 or 1911, has twice the capacity of the latter and is more durable and reliable than both.
This `problem' has been solved for a long time now. One hopes the DOD doesn't need a too many more billions to figure this out.
*pistols that have magazines with staggered rounds for higher (almost 2x) capacity. Famous double stacked pistols include the M9 and most Glocks. The Colt 1911 is not double stacked, and has a thinner grip and relatively low capacity as a result.
I've studied Chernobyl extensively. Chernobyl did, in fact, melt down. After the initial explosion reactor fuel and graphite lay in a pile of rubble, heating itself both thermally (due to the graphite fire) and through residual decay of fission by-products. This created corium; reactor lava made of fuel, concrete, steel and anything else caught in the mass, which burned through the floor of the reactor and flowed, in liquid form, into lower levels. The corium nearly reached a pool of water below the reactor, which would have magnified an already awful event.
There is photographic evidence of this today. You're simply wrong.
The worst reactor disaster our species has yet caused was the explosion and melt down of Chernobyl; designed by government researchers, built by government owned industry, operated by government employed staff and named after every intellectuals favorite opium dealer; V.I. Lenin.
But don't let actual history impede your little world view. Go right on indulging the bullshit they trained you with.
They haven't been "languishing", most of them have been implemented in C++.
Apparently Stroustrup doesn't agree, which is why he is proposing sweeping changes to the language. His actions are more compelling than your claims.
These days, Rust is competing with C++ and a lot of other new languages. So you better make a compelling argument if you want people to invest time in it.
The arguments have been made, and many have found it compelling. You're free to think otherwise. The compelled do not care.
So asking for more information makes me a "hater" according to you?
You didn't ask any questions. Not one question mark. You argued about the meaning of Stroustrup's proposals and falsely accused me of insulting someone. Anyhow, there is ample information publicly available to you about the rational, design, implementation and flaws of Rust, published by the Rust creators, including why they did not choose to try and adapt C++, if you're actually interested. If you have not bothered to examine this — as I suspect — then I'm left to conclude you're just another irrational hater.

desperate search for nuance

Also, global warming.
Indeed. It's just a little workplace violence from the "JV team."
Why are they attacking France? What do they hope to achieve?
Caliphate. Sharia.
They say as much. Hard to hear them when you listen exclusively to Blame America First crap, though.
A few more of these and it'll finally get through. So no worries; you'll get it at some point.
