The summary says:

For the first time ever, a CCTV camera in Myanmar captured real-time footage of a supershear strike-slip earthquake moving at 3.7 miles per second.

There is no "realtime footage of a supershear moving at 3.7 miles per second." The horizon in the video is at most a few hundred metres away. The entire "realtime footage" is of the ground moving at about 3m/s.

I think the 3.7 miles per second is the speed at which the earthquake travelled along the ground from the epicentre. At 50 frames per second, it's travelling 120m per CCTV frame which means there's no recording of the rupture propogating, only of the 1.8 seconds that it took for the ground to move around 3 metres.

It was around 3m/s.

The employee specifically tasked with security, or with providing departments with funding they need, are paid to stop the pests.

That the pest is guilty doesn't need to be said. But if you were supposed to keep the pests at bay and failed to do so, you're guilty as well.

No. I was replying to somebody who wrote about H1b and I had an H1b in the late 90s. Not sure if anything's changed in the requirements since then, but it wasn't just an any old route in to the US. It was a bit of pain all around. Probably not worth the hassle of the expense and time to apply for one, unless there's no enforcement of the prevailing wage requirements for example and it really is used for undercutting local talent. I was certainly on a fair wage at the time.

That kind of defeats the purpose of bringing in people who have specific skills. Furthermore, as a former H1b myself, I know that the salary has to satisfy the Department of Labor's prevailing wage. If you want to make the salary threshold higher, no need to turn it in to an auction, just set the bar higher.

I decided the US wasn't for me after three years and moved overseas. I then worked 1099-MISC for another American company for four years (until it was bought by a company with an international office near me). If I can do that, what's the point of capping H1b numbers?

I was taught to write quotes as 66 and 99 when I was at school, but they graduated in to straight quotes that lean to the left or the right. Straight (vertical) quotes was always viewed as a limitation of typewriters and not done when writing by hand, and those typewriters of course have gone the way of the dodo.

This whole discussion reminds me of 1990's and early noughties flame wars on the Usenet from grumpy people who didn't like HTML. Thanks Netscape! Hmmm, that reminds me of the dodo again ;)

Were you paid for the building's security? Or were you the person who requested that a screen door be installed instead of a solid one to reduce costs?

If you answered "yes" to either question, then you do share the blame.

The weak link were the bean counters. Unless their IT was of the CEO's nephew variety, they repeatedly asked for money for backups but had the requests refused.

If a phone is configured to automatically update, why can't Apple create an iOS update that is specially crafted to give easy access to the handset? I.e. remove the security. Is there something inherent in iOS and iPhones that means that can't work?

Or more likely, trying to source smaller memory chips would cost more. And as C64 already uses bank switching, there's no reason to not allow switching to more banks. Like, C128 shipped with 128KB, could be easily extended to 256KB, and its CPU could handle up to 640KB.

As 128MB = 32768 4KB pages or 65536 2KB pages (I don't know the granularity of the I/O port used for bank switching), I suspect this limit is due to bank numbers not the memory chips' size.

And the fun thing being, original software that was able to handle different memory sizes (64/128/256/640) might be able to use all 128MB without modifications.

Well yeah. The difference is, GPS works with a signal much below the noise floor, while the magnet inside Earth is quite powerful.

The single decker ones have been around a while, but the double decker ones entered service recently in 2021. Looks like there's a trickle of them being deployed around the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Buses are a different public transport story though: TfL has 20 hydrogen buses running in the centre of London on routes 7 and RV1.

Why are you harping on about Starmer when the data leak and the relocation scheme were setup by the previous government?

You appear to have benefitted from dubious moderation too either by people ignorant of the story or simply supporting their political views and disinformation.
