Long before the E.U. legislation went into effect, there were long consultations which standard to adhere too. So tech companies had enough time to read the writing on the wall and move. That was the reason why USB-C was ubiquitous everywhere when the due date came. Apple was struggling for some time, debating the idea, but finally caved with the 16 series.

Your argument is a typical strawman argument. You postulate the idea that the E.U. came up with USB-C as the next standard out of the blue, and then argue that companies were already transitioning when the legislation was finalized. But your postulate is (probably intentionally) wrong.

Fucking dihydrogen monoxide. Terrifying stuff. Did you know that it can cause terrible burns and skin damage in liquid, solid *and* gaseous form?

I mean, First Nations people aren't native to The Americas, either, they wandered over a land bridge about 15,000 years ago.

Aedes aegypti is an invasive species to North America, only been here for a few hundred years, so I doubt that the food chain has grown radically dependent on them.

Four hours is about halfway from NJ to Barcelona. I'm not sure I see the point in turning around.

Not exactly. Personal originally meant "not shared with another person". Originally, it meant a computer only you have access to, only you install and run software, and only you store and retrieve data.

Apparently, you have never installed Nagios. Back in the days, when you ran the install script, it wrote out what it was doing, and then suddenly the lines appeared:

It was the same warning to you to vet any code before executing it.

Pretty high, I would wager. Alcohol and coding don't mix.

I predict the same for the enhanced games. There is not much to win for competitors in the games outside the event. Except for some sellers of questionable supplements, there are probably not many wanting to advertise with steroid-pumped up people, and there are not many other events they can start in. They have to earn all their money with the enhanced games. That means you only get second-level people competing, which will turn the show into some kind of Survivor set on a track and field court.

The article even mentioned the relationship. When laminar flow turns into turbulent flow, aerodynamic drag increases. Turbulent flow in turn is what we hear as noise. You can also reason that noise is acoustic energy, and that noise is a parasitic load on the action we want the fan to do: moving air from one side to the other side.

Doping was done under medical supervision before. It still was not safe. Florence Griffith-Joyner and Marco Pantani both were doped in hospitals, and Eufemanio Fuentes was a physician whose speciality was doping. Being from Europe, I know more of the European side of doping, including the death of Birgit Dressel, who was a patient of University teacher Armin Kluemper.

Someone remember the XFL? This one petered out quickly too.

Yes, but only for the young'uns who didn't live through big tech layoffs in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, or 2010s.

Echos of the 'multimedia franchise' days when part of the plot was in the video game, part was in the comic books, part was in the companion app that was delisted two years later.....

The ability to convert a spectrogram to sound has long been known in the speech research community. In 1950 a device known as the Pattern Playback was built at Haskins Laboratories. You would draw an artificial spectrogram and feed it to the machine and it would play back the corresponding sound. It was used to perform experiments on the acoustic cues for speech perception. The original machine was last used for research in 1976. See the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
