Pfizer has provided these details to the CDC about shipping and storage of their candidate: the vaccine can be shipped in “dry ice pack” boxes, but that dry ice will need to be replenished within 24 hours of receipt. The shipping carton needs to be closed within one minute of opening, and not opened more than twice per day. Vaccine vials, once removed, can be kept at refrigerator temperatures for up to 24 hours or at room temperature for no more than 2 hours after thawing.
It was clear early on that Biden was losing to various other moderate Democrats
The RCP average shows that Biden was in the lead nearly the entire time. On October 7, 2019, at Warren's peak, she just barely edged into the lead for a single day. Other than that, Biden was always the favored moderate (i.e. non-Sanders) candidate.
I feel like people on Slashdot often complain every chat service is just re-inventing IRC. But adding voice/video chat that works in a web browser is legitimately a useful feature for a chat room system. And, they're silly, but people like emojis.
What would you propose as an alternative? Mumble and Matrix look like the closest alternatives I can find.
Mumble does not look user-friendly enough that I would be comfortable recommending it to non-techies. Among other problems, it doesn't appear to have a web interface and there is no official Android app, although it sounds like the unofficial one works fine. I'm fine with putting in some work to set up a server (see my sig: I'd much rather host my own chat server), but clients need to be easy enough to use that my friends won't give up and go back to Facebook Messenger (and accept that they have to find other workarounds to talk to anyone boycotting Facebook).
Matrix didn't work very well last time I tried (Android app crashed trying to make a simple voice call multiple times) but that was several months ago now. Hopefully it's better now? Maybe I should try again.
I do pay for Discord because I want them to keep being able to host their chat service. It certainly has issues, but it seems better than the alternatives for what I want out of it.
He's talking about the Motor Voter Act which directs DMVs to make it easy for people to register to vote when they get a state ID or driver's license. Of course, you have to attest that you're a citizen just like when you register to vote any other way.
And the list of people who are registered and who vote in each election is public, so if non-citizens voting were actually a thing that happened, it should be easy to find evidence of it. The fact that no one is putting forth anything other than vague insinuations to that effect suggests it's not actually a problem. This article from Time agrees.
Since Netflix has started pushing pedophilia so hard
That complaint is a new one to me. What are you talking about?
God bless Lili St. Cyr!
Serious? No. I don't seriously expect really safe speed limits to be set up by any democracy that has so many motorists in it. But I do think that's what we ought to do. As a civilisation, we are killing our own children at an appalling rate, just so that motorists can catch up to the back of the next long line of stationary traffic a few seconds faster. In town, slow down.
Look at the scenario you described. A car doing the speed limit towards a marked crosswalk... it's such a familiar scenario that we forget to be horrified. Think about what we're doing here. We have footpaths across the street specifically for people to walk across. And then we have motorists driving straight at those footpaths, at such speed that it would literally be a crime to go any faster at all, at such speed that they couldn't possibly stop should anyone suddenly walk out on the path. These motorists expect everyone else in the world to pay attention, to stay out of their way. God forbid they themselves should slow down! They're 'doing the limit' and that makes it OK.
That limit is obviously much too high. It should come down. Twenty is plenty.
Then let's redesign those footpaths. At the moment there are raised paths either side of the street, and when the path runs across the middle of the street it is lowered. For the convenience of motorists, of course; otherwise they might have to slow down. Well, let them slow down! The path across the street is a pedestrian walkway just like the paths either side, so let's have it at the same height, for the convenience of people using wheelchairs, people pushing infants in prams, people with mobility issues. We'll put a gentle slope to either side of the path so that it isn't a nasty bump for motor traffic. Well, I mean - so that it isn't a nasty bump if the motor traffic is moving at a safe speed.
Not only that, 0% of the effort has to do with the GNU part. The article title is accurate in using the term Linux. You get the kernel to run, then you grab a binary userspace from your favorite distro. Linux is what matters. The rest follows automatically because it is barely hardware specific if at all.
You only port GNU/Linux once to any given architecture. After that, all devices using the same architecture only require porting Linux to them.
Yes, because when I put Linux on a PS4 I certainly didn't spend several months figuring out how to write hardware-specific Linux components for the PS4.
But hey, I guess GitHub is some shady website that serves shady black box binaries, and implementing kexec as a hot-patchable module for the FreeBSD kernel is a decidedly shady technique. Right.
Little ARM and AVR chips almost always have embedded Flash memory, and high-performance chips like x86 CPUs and mobile phone SoCs almost never do. It has to do with silicon technology. It is not practical to put Flash memory into a cutting edge silicon process for a bunch of technical reasons.
So yes, it's ROM. Mask ROM. Not writable.
IANAL, but as far as I know there is no such "exemption". You're probably thinking of Sega v. Accolade, where Sega used a trademark system to require games to have the string "SEGA" in them. That was chiefly about trademarks, not copyright. You're probably also thinking about the DMCA exemption for reverse engineering for interoperability purposes, but that is about anti-circumvention, it doesn't mean you get to distribute copyrighted data/code.
You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing viability of FORTRAN. -- Alan Perlis
