Ditto. I used to ride 6 miles to work on a second-hand "touring" bike (Looked like a 10-speed), wearing nicer casual clothes, and I would ride in the bike line if it existed or the sidewalks otherwise, since as others have noted there are very few people out walking, especially in Arizona where the temperatures were often well over 100 F in the summer. Never had problems with vehicles since I didn't choose to ride in the road and hold up traffic, which would be frankly suicidal, regardless of the law-- also never had a cop stop me if I was on the sidewalk, which was where I often rode to the lack of bike lanes on major roads. The guys I did see wearing biker shorts on expensive bikes were always much more aggressive and not afraid to pass me by veering into the road, must be something about all that spandex :-) I just don't trust vehicles enough to try and ride in the middle of the road, and while I always give bikes in the road plenty of room when driving it's not pleasant having them essentially block normal traffic flow, and things get chaotic and dangerous when that happens.

Exactly. Dancing around the label for someone who was taken out while killing innocent people is rather silly. He died due to his actions, behaving as a terrorist, murdering others. You'd have to be pretty dim to call him anything else under the circumstances.

I would love to see a more layered approach that would defeat the use of MitM attacks like proxies that essentially strip away any protection you might have otherwise had from TLS (i.e. corporate proxies). Also the idea that a trojan might install a rogue proxy and add its certificate into any browsers present on the system is really unnerving, since you'd essentially be naked when visiting "secure" sites, and once the change was made the trojan wouldn't even have to hang around in the OS. Adding DoH just seems like dumping more traffic into a vulnerable transport, although obviously if your HTTPS traffic is compromised they already know what your DNS queries will be.

"More RPM is practically free: higher voltage (better insulation, which is light) and essentially no other structural costs until the RPM is so hysterically high that you have to strengthen the rotor so it doesn't fly apart.) So the aircraft motor application has advantages."

While this might be true in other settings you're limited to the blades of the props breaking the sound barrier, above which efficiency really takes a serious hit. It's why there was a more-or-less hard limit on how fast propeller-powered planes could fly.

Buzzword bingo, it is. --We have "problematic", "marginalized", and more zingers, pretty clear that the author is looking to complain about people saying not-nice things to them and is trying to frame this as a problem that affects more than themselves. Criticism is built into the review process; it's not a bug, it's a feature, regardless of how harsh it may be.

However we're talking about software not a pharma lab with physical assets to seize. Grabbing the hardware at an office that is part of a world-wide software distribution network is about as effective as trying to put a hand-sized patch on a 30-foot hole in a ship... It's not even going to slow down the free transfer of information, and there's nothing to seize that could likely have an effect on that. Also who uses a SWAT-ish team to kick down doors for an office environment, not a meth lab?? Usually lawyers are the first port of call in a situation where there are contract/legal disputes. This just smacks of authoritarian theater to show what mad skills Putin has when he's not happy with you.

"These problems are easily solved and largely overblown by right wing talk shows that don't want the problem solved humanely."

You're kidding, right? California is run by and for Democrats and the left wing, it has a super-majority in every level of government and it's not possible for these scary right-wing types to get any legislation passed. It has been this way for decades and out of every state in the union California is the absolute worst for the homeless issue and the extremes that are quickly becoming the norm, with the plague being a shining example of a disease that shouldn't be present in a modern first-world nation, yet manages to crop up in Cali. Flame on everybody...

Citation needed. I've enjoyed Dave's content for several years and never got the impression he would do something as petty or reactionary as doxing a user, however I don't hang out on the forums much so I may have missed it. I would legitimately like to see examples of this happening, so if anyone has links I would appreciate it.

"The usefulness in market making is so that people don't have to worry about whether they're losing money short term. They don't have spend time to shop around for better prices, because somebody else provides the best price or near the best price at a cost so tiny that it's often not worth the effort to shop around. HFTs make like a cent off a hundred dollar trade, much smaller than what a vending machine takes selling you a can of pepsi, and we don't hear you complaining about big evil vending machines."

Except people usually don't put their retirement funds in soda machines.

Except that RF doesn't travel well underwater, so forget having any connectivity if it's submersed. And that means no Bluetooth too, another fail.

I'm confused, I went over to the site, entered the info for a new account and... I'm in. I can see the articles the links for creating new articles or sub-wikis are enabled, it all appears to be working. There was never a request for payment. Maybe Jimmy has decided to let people try it out for a month before pleading for a subscription?
In terms of content it's pretty sparse at the moment, lots of sub-wikis but very few actual posts, quite a few foreign-language wikis. I'm sure once the word gets out that you can access it for free (For however long that lasts) it will at least spark a little more interest now you can see what's available. Good on Jimmy if that's the plan, since otherwise you're essentially dumping some money in a black box and hoping it contains something worthwhile.

"Funny, I played a lot of PC versions of Xbox 1 titles on a Celeron OC'd to 464 MHz, a Geforce 2 MX, though I did have 256 MB RAM. Ran games great on XP."

Yes, XBox ONE.... The Xbox 360 is a completely different beast and is a new from the ground up redesign, including a PowerPC-family processor (FYI all current consoles use PowerPC processors). The original XBox was nothing more than a modified PC, which accounted for its size and power-consumption. It's also why there are a limited number of games from the original XBox that will play on the 360 since it must use a virtual machine and emulation to translate x86 opcodes to PPC.

15 watts max power dissipation, runs 1.2GHz ARM processor w/Debian or Ubuntu. Has dual 1GbE ports, eSATA, SDHC, (Internal 4GB microSD w/OS/kernel), 2 USB host, 512MB of RAM.

I have nothing to do with the company, just a happy customer. Using the latest Debian repos make updates a breeze and with that amount of RAM it has no problems running anything you'd every need for routing/file services/print/etc. I use one at work and have been meaning to get another for home use as my DD-WRT is getting a little long in the tooth.
