Honestly I'd be fully converted to Trump's Fuhrermojo if he managed to get a German company to develop the vaccine under operation warp speed... which ultimately is precisely what did happen. He can be credited for providing a lot of monetary incentive for production, but many people don't realise (or refuse to realise) the most popular vaccine given in America wasn't created by Americans.

Be thankful COVID happened first time, I wonder what Trump's mental gymnastics would be like having to simultaneously spend money on a vaccine while applying a 30% tariff on them.

Seriously? You're not keeping up, not only is Gen Alpha (yes it's A) a thing that exists, but it's also already been superseded, anyone born this year is already Gen Beta (the jokes will write themselves about which is the better generation).

The Alphas even have better Wikipedia entries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Actually that would be fraudulent contract since the terms under the contract were tied to information that one party could not possibly know. It's the same with knowingly selling a defective or stolen product. You are liable for this. The only issue here is that there's no entity left to sue - but in theory if this was proven to be a wide spread fraud the directors of the company could be barred from starting a new business in certain jurisdictions.

Well ultimately it still was the pilots fault as the pilot wasn't aware which system was malfunctioning, how the system worked, and didn't take appropriate action to correct for the problem. That is the reason why the FAA required recertification of all pilot training programs for each individual airline before allowing that airline to resume flying their 737 MAX 8s. See Appendix A https://www.faa.gov/documentLi...

Yeah the hardware was fucking rubbish, but there ultimately still was an element of pilot error in the crashes.

10ths of a second means significantly more data to be recorded, especially for continuously measured values. But really what is the outcome difference you're looking for? If this were a purely software error then the timing wouldn't be 1 second off (or even 1ms off). 1 second granularity is enough to tell us they changed state mechanically, whether by hand or otherwise. What additional info are you postulating to see here?

Actually it doesn't. That's the problem with granularity, you're chasing the difference between state (which is never defined at a single point for a switch) and scan time of the input system. If one switch is triggered within 1ms from the other, they have been triggered simultaneously, with any resulting error being the result of contact bounce. For a system that has a scan time of 1 second, it could very well have been that one switch had contacts which hadn't settled one side of the second mark while the other had to wait for the system to process its input logic again 1 second later. That's the OP's point. I don't think it makes any difference to the outcome or investigation, but it is important in some situations.

I have a real world example of this which I have experienced. On a Triconex industrial safety system there is a single switch that sets the system to OFF, RUN, REMOTE, and PROGRAM mode. It spends most of it's time in RUN, but I had to download some new code to it so I went to the system and flicked this switch to RUN. Unluckily as I flicked this single switch 2 of the system's 3 main processors saw one contact close 125ms after the 3rd processor, that was enough to trigger a diagnostic error and force the processor to reboot raising all hell in the control room as system fault alarms were coming up. One switch only, two different states in the same system.

The COVID mRNA vaccines were the culmination of decades of research into genetic vaccines that could be in essence engineered to target a selected antigen without the years of trial and error that are required by the methods we have been using since the 1950s. Within days of the virus genome being published, they had a vaccine design, the months it took to get to the public were taken up with studies of the safety and effectiveness of the heretofore untested technology, ramping up production, and preparing for the distribution of a medicine that required cryogenic storage.

It would be unreasonable not to give the Trump administration credit for not mucking up this process. But the unprecedented speed of development wasnâ(TM)t due to Trump employing some kind of magical Fuhrermojo. It was a stroke good fortune that when the global pandemic epidemiologists have been worried about arrived, mRNA technology was just at the point where you could use it. Had it arrived a decade earlier the consequences would have been far worse, no matter who was president.

The lesson isnâ(TM)t that Trump is some kind of divine figure who willed a vaccine into existence, itâ(TM)s that basic research that is decades from practical application is important.

That's a good post. It's a reminder that there's legit information out there and that it will be completely and dishonestly lied about by people like you. No the numbers in your very post do not support your assertion that most low wage illegals are on public assistance. In fact to get to that conclusion you had to lump it together with immigrants (legal) and families (also legal), and then still you only just got over half way.

On the flip side 100% of American workers in the same situation would qualify for the same benefits. That would be the conclusion you'd reach if you weren't being dishonest. By the way you misspelled your own username. You forgot the "au" at the start and accidentally replaced the z with a 1. But it's okay you came across as a racist shit even without the correct spelling, we got your point.

The device doesn't get bricked, it just gets blocked from online services which are effectively essential these days. For the record *all* consoles have this capability. The only difference is MS / Sony are somehow less evil that Nintendo in exercising their power over you.

Not universally. You're entirely dependent on the resize process not hitting a file that is in use, otherwise it will fail. This is ultimately the same thing restricting ext fs resizes.

He already tried that. The problem Trump is facing is juggling the expectation of the wider international community with that of Putin's hand up his arse.

In most countries (at least western ones) the processes and policies are the same as the USA. Just because you hopped over the boarder doesn't mean you're there illegally. Asylum seeking isn't illegal, it's a defined legal process and not crossing at a registered point of entry doesn't invalidate that process. Likewise elsewhere if you're caught somewhere illegally you are deported. If you were being processed through the immigration system your status was "legal" until such a time as the process concludes. This is the same as USA and elsewhere.

What is unique to the USA is that they are arbitrarily shortcutting the process and declaring people "illegal" without due process. That process is unique in the USA right now. I agree with you though, you guys should copy what other countries do, but copy normal western countries, not authoritative shitholes.

I can't even name a competent republican to be POTUS today.

One thing is clear: Competence has nothing to do with it. It's a popularity contest and there's no consequence for being really bad at your job. Forget about locally, the USA has had its reputation utterly devastated globally and everyone seems to agree is currently run by an absolute moron. They just put on a smiling face to him, while they actively distance themselves from America behind the president's back.

No worries, if you wanted other examples I've seen them in news sites, in reddit, twitter example. Adblockers will block the "sponsored" posts as well, these can't be blocked on a hosts level since they seem to come from the same server serving you the content you actually want.

But literally every little bit helps. Even with hosts based adblocking you're already a mile ahead of the normal internet which is just miserable to use.
