They are only addressing the economic argument, not the human rights argument.

Typical for EU bureaucrats.

ECB, World Bank, EU, BIS, IMF, NATO - one big incestuous club.

Some day ... when search engines are invented, I won't have to write down your references to look up at the library next week.

TIL:

apt-get install git-lfs
git-lfs clone (huggingface repo url)

regular git clone gives you tiny pointer files.

PS Thanks, Babs!

The headline can only be understood *after* reading the submission.

I'll say it again - I use ReVanced because it has accessibility settings YouTube refuses to expose (default video speed, etc.)

I use it with my YouTube Premium subscription.

Google better not violate the ADA by blocking accessibility tools - that would be a criminal act.

> all these companies lock customers into binding arbitration

Don't assume this in the case of fraud or theft without speaking to a lawyer.

Usually the whole agreement is void if crimes are committed.

And you need to find a judge who agrees, not convnce the legal academy.

Yes, the damaged craft needed to be written off.

NASA beancounters and politicians took a risk. Astronauts died.

Again.

It was said at the time that the white paint on the early shuttle tanks served to also keep the foam together and reduce drag on it.

They scrapped it to save money and increase payload by a tiny fraction. But mostly to save money.

Engineers: this is necessary.
NASA Bean Counters: nah.

Every freakin' time.

Is it still forbidden for a local hospital to pay the ISP so a radiologist can get stat MRI's faster than his neighbor gets cat videos?

Some places have like 10 meg of bandwidth for the neighborhood. FCC may imagine everybody has gigabit FTTH.

I asked the developer to have some way for red/green colorblind people (9% of males, probably 8% of sysadmins) to be able to change the colors.

My electric bill is too damn high.

Interesting.

I'm building a solar battery from LTO cells and am now wondering about adding a simple square driver.

Gotta see if they're NMC or not. 20,000 cycle rating natively might go to 40,000?

The length of relaxation period was
the same as current pulse, resulting in a Duty Ratio of 50% under PC charg-
ing. The average current for all three charging modes were kept the same
(1C, i.e., 2.2 A), thus the current during PC charging (2C, i.e., 4.4 A) was
twice as large as that during CC charging.

> Only the Soviets were so uncaring for public safety to build a nuclear power plant like that,

Years ago a commenter here claimed to have been involved with Chernobyl and the way it went down is that a grad student in nuclear engineering wanted to run his pet theory experiment on the Chernobyl reactor.

Everybody said no up and down the chain.

Bu his father was high up in the Politburo and ordered it.

Soviets do what they're told.

It sounds plausible enough that a smart researcher could probably find the father and son from records.

Correct.

And not using radio either. The Chinese already have satellites doing some sort of quantum communication with ground stations and that much is public.

SETI should refocus to atmospheric and oceanic data analysis.

If you follow this subject long enough it is obvious that this pattern will replay.

Ten years ago it was nanotechnology that explained the Fermi Paradox.

Next decade it might be psychedelics or something.

However

> and the total lack of evidence that they do exist

That is false. There is an embargo on scientifically statistically significant evidence in the public domain (go ahead and try to FOIA it - say Nimitz/Princeton, and see what you get - it's been denied repeatedly).

The existing eyewitness testimony would win any civil or criminal court case.

Hynek reassessed based on this.
