Good point. An army that sees all others as subhuman and sees only the next death is one that has to keep fighting. It has no choice. It's the only thing it knows. It can keep conquering more territory outwards, or it can slaughter its own government inwards. History shows those are your two options.

Whether or not Russia conquers Ukraine, it will attack other countries - vast numbers of bored, underpaid soldiers would seek entertainment elsewhere if they didn't.

I don't know where you live, but where I live, putting things in a bag in the recycling is expressly not allowed. As such the AI scanning can simply mark up anything in a bag in the recycling as improper recycling. and issue warning to the resident.

Frankly repeat offending should be followed with a fine,

This is what I'm going by:

The report said that in December 2018, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a special airworthiness information bulletin based on reports from operators of model 737 planes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged.

The airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an airworthiness directive – a legally enforceable regulation to correct unsafe conditions.

The same switch design is used in Boeing 787-8 aircraft, including Air India’s VT-ANB, which crashed. The report added: “As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory.”

1. Were the safety guards, which were optional, installed?

2. We know investigators are looking into the computer system, does this mean the computer can also set the switch settings?

If the answers are "no" and "no" respectively, it was likely an accidental bump.

If the answers are "yes" and "no", then one of the pilots lied.

If the answer to the second one is yes, then regardless of the answer to the first, I'd hope the investigation thoroughly checks whether the software can be triggered into doing so through faulty data or the existence of software defects.

Agree with all your points.

It's possible I might have missed these, but they're also major considerations with COVID:

1. It causes scarring of tissue, especially heart tissue. That's why COVID sufferers often had severe blood clots in their bloodstream. Scarring of the heart increases risk of heart attacks, but there's obviously not much data on by how much, from COVID. Yet.

2. It causes brain damage in all who have been infected. Again, we have very little idea of how much, but from what I've read, there may be an increased risk of strokes in later life.

3. Viral load is known to cause fossil viruses in DNA to reactivate silenced portions. This can lead to cancer. Viral load has also been linked to multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue, but it's possible COVID was the wrong sort of virus. These things can take decades to develop.

I would expect a drop in life expectancy, sometimes in the 2040-2050 timeframe, from life-shortening damage from COVID, but the probability depends on how much damage even mild sufferers sustained and what medicine can do to mitigate it by then. The first, as far as I know, has not been looked at nearly as much as long COVID has - which is fair. The second is obviously unknowable.

I'm hoping I'm being overly anxious, my worry is that I might not be anxious enough.

My latest vaccine shots had the 6G upgrade, to take advantage of the higher-speed web access when the networks upgrade, but if they're selling those frequencies to high-power carriers, then I won't be able to walk into any area that handles AT&T or Verizon. :P

Seriously, this will totally wreck the 6G/WiFi6 specification, utterly ruin the planned 7G/WiFi7 update, and cause no end of problems to those already using WiFi6 equipment - basically, people with working gear may well find their hardware simply no longer operates, which is really NOT what no vendor or customer wants to hear. Vendors with existing gear will need to do a recall, which won't be popular, and the replacement products simply aren't going to do even a fraction as well as the customers were promised - which, again, won't go down well. And it won't be the politicians who get the blame, despite it being the politicians who are at fault.

Neither the USA or Israel is a signatory to the ICC, therefore the ICC has no jurisdiction in the case and they are being sanctioned by the USA for what they see as judicial overreach. The claim that the "Palestinans" are signatories is a reach given they are not a recognized state.

It is not so much that Bibi should be immune from criminal charges but that the USA has from both sides of the aisle, had long standing issues with the ICC and overreach.

Apart from the CPU requirements. I can buy a brand new laptop with Windows 11 that is *LESS* performant than my original Surface Book model with Core i7 CPU with GPU base which is unsupported entirely due to the age of the CPU, not because it doesn't support instructions that Microsoft want to use in Windows 11.

No VSphere Essentials very specifically said that it was *not* for production workloads in the licensing terms. I would not be surprised if people abused that but that is different from it being allowed.

Further on VSphere Essentials 6.x and 7.x was limited to a maximum of two 16 core processors (you could turn on hyperthreading as well) per server. With Vsphere Essentials 8.x that was lifted to two 32 core processors.

The problem with the Broadcom strategy is that there is no easy on ramp. Even if I am a big player where do I hire admins with VSphere experience in 10 years time. It will be like running a IBM mainframe I will have to hire someone with no experience and train them. That is not a good long term strategy in IT.

Personally if I think cutting VSphere Essentials was the right move, but I would have left VSphere Essentials Plus, hiked the price but thrown in say 100GB per core of VSan. If I am not spending $$$ on storage arrays then the price hike would be acceptable. As is we are reluctantly off to Proxmox later this year before our VSphere Essentials Plus is end of maintenance.

We looked at Azure Local but the pricing is just as bad as VSphere.

There was an Essentials Pro version that *WAS* designed for production use, which they discontinued in November of last year. It was similar to Essentials put included vMotion and some other stuff.

On exactly what the detector is capable of detecting. If they're looking, at any point, for radio waves, then I'd start there. Do the radio waves correspond to the absorption (and therefore emission) band for any molecule or chemical bond that is likely to arise in the ice?

This is so basic that I'm thinking that if this was remotely plausible, they'd have already thought of it. This is too junior to miss. Ergo, the detector isn't looking for radio waves (which seems the most likely, given it's a particle detector, not a radio telescope), or nothing obvious exists at that frequency (which is only a meaningful answer if, indeed, it is a radio telescope).

So, the question is, what precisely does the detector actually detect?

You can't retrospectively change a license in the UK. Therefore, anything installed or, for that matter, downloaded before Oracle changed the licensing terms in April 2019 is immune to their bullying. US laws don't apply in the UK.

As regards the different departments, you, as your IT admin for your department, get a stringent mandate (been there working in a UK University as an IT admin) to report on all your Java usage and remove anything before April 2019 and switch to something else if you really must continue to use Java.

This would not just be a Java thing; we have had similar mandates about VirtualBox and OracleDB, though we never used the latter in the first place. Some of the central "corporate" databases are still using Oracle, I believe, though I understand exit roots are planned, may even have been implemented by now.

Are you telling me that those 400Gbps DAC cables I have just purchased won't work because they are copper?

I would note that no products have ever been offered for sale that support 40GBase-T and given 40Gbps Ethernet is a dead end nothing ever will.

I would be surprised if anything is ever offered in 25GBase-T either as it suffers from distance limitations too. It's all DAC or optics in the data centre so there is nothing to jumpstart the market. It's a bit like 10GBase-T. I have hundreds of 10Gbps ports but they are all SFP and not a single 10GBase-T to be seen or is there ever likely to be because I would have nothing to plug it into.

There was a survivor from the plane who described a loud bang before the plane crashed.

The problem with football fields is, which type are you talking about? Is that Association Football fields, Rugby Football fields, American Football fields or Australian Rules Football fields?
