Now where have I seen the diagram on pg9 before?

"The '193 Patent employs the unconventional solution of providing a flag that indicates both merging and skip mode are to be used. This allows for more efficient coding of merge and skip information"

"For example, the encoder can now indicate that a block is being merged and uses skip mode by using a single flag."

Which flag enables ethical behavior within the legal profession?

"Wavefront parallel processing" allowed parallel processing of rows of chunks in "wavefront" style, where each row could be decoded by a separate processor, and decoding of a given chunk in a given row could proceed once the processing of the row above had proceeded to the chunk immediately above and to the right of"

Had to check the date of the patent to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. Well yea it does say "Mar. 14, 2017".

"The '272 Patent employs the unconventional solution of partitioning: using one type of coding to encode smaller values, and if that coding indicates that the value is larger than a threshold, another type of coding is used to indicate how much larger the value is"

There is no other explanation... I am losing my mind.

I'm getting the distinct impression many of these fusion startups are scams. Term igniting plasma in the context of fusion reactors means you have started fusion. All they did here was create plasma.

The business model is just an endless rope-a-dope of milestones that lead nowhere. Even Trump has a fusion startup (e.g. TAE)

You misread or misunderstood the statement. Nothing was said or had anything to do with those who didn't vote.

Yes, I think an effectively dead leader that isn't being replaced is better than a living one presuming the goal is regime change.

I keep having flashbacks to Sharpiegate. My personal guess Trump is mostly just making shit up. His public statements had the same vibe as the babbling about Iran having Tomahawks.

The "point at hand" of my post was exclusively a response to the absurd characterization "because of the poor downtrodden Iranians".

I don't think #1 makes all that much sense given ample opportunity to bomb North Korea when it didn't possess nukes.

I don't pretend to have any idea why we are or are not bombing any given country. I never supported bombing Iran but I do support continuing it for the sake of regime change now that the bombing has started. I would say compared to North Korea Iran is different in a couple of relevant respects.

1. Iran is the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism. North Korea except for a criminal enterprise to make money for the regime mostly keeps to itself.

2. Iranian regime is largely seen as illegitimate by the vast majority of its population. North Koreans are so brainwashed it isn't clear to me that is even the case.

I have no way of knowing what was part of any equation. I do know there was global outrage over many tens of thousands of protestors being murdered by the regime over the course of two days. I also know Trump made threats against the regime over murdering citizens and stated "HELP IS ON ITS WAY". It was shortly after this that US military assets in fact started heading in the direction of Iran. The Israelis seem to at least rhetorically be concerned with protecting Iranians taking out check points, regime members responsible for mass murders and conducting overwatch missions around recent Persian new years holiday celebrations.

I have always assumed regime change at least the kind that would lead to RP's prosperity project is less likely than not to be successful. The best measure that tries to be objective I've been able to find is this.

RP, BB, DJT, CENTCOM...etc have all repeatedly asked Iranians not go out and protest due to danger from regime and bombs actively dropping. There will be a time for it. That time is NOT now. People are still protesting from their homes at night and IRGC goons are still shooting up apartment buildings trying to suppress people shouting anti-regime slogans from their windows and balconies.

I have never in my life argued for attacking Iran or North Korea or any other country. Now that we are attacking Iran any goal short of regime change is in my view counterproductive.

The guy "leading the country" is likely either a vegetable or outright dead.

People don't seem to have any clue of the extent of the oppression in Iran nor are they aware of the extent to which legitimacy has been irrevocably shattered. Saying shit like "because of the poor downtrodden Iranians" is a manifestly ignorant assessment of the situation.

Fake data?

I don't know what fake data means in the context of hidden data so I can't really evaluate what you are saying. Generally while anyone can argue whatever they feel like affirmative evidence is required in court. Simply having unused space is not a crime. Suspicion it might actually be used for something else is not evidence of anything.

It is mandatory for vehicle vendors to provide but not mandatory to use. The radio antenna can simply be grounded out, radio board removed or relevant fuse pulled.

The solution for duress passwords is hidden data.

Only if completely owning the enemy and whopping ass with virtually no losses of your own is losing.

It has only been three weeks. Iran's power projection is being systematically attrited and Hormuz will be opened soon one way or another.

This isn't true. I seem to remember during WWII Japan signing an instrument of unconditional surrender without anyone so much as stepping foot on the mainland. The Japanese make the ayatollahs look like a bunch of care bears.

Likely within a weeks time most Islands within the Persian golf will be occupied by the US military and there will be capabilities in place to suppress remaining Iranian harassment.

Thousands of oppressors have already been eliminated and there have been numerous targeted campaigns to protect civilians from imminent attack from their government. Leadership directly responsible for deliberately murdering of tens of thousands of civilians have been systematically hunted and destroyed. Much more is still needed.

While obliteration is overselling production and delivery capabilities are actively being degraded.

Infrastructure, industrial base and weapons themselves have already been severely attrited and it has only been three weeks.

I completely agree, there were no imminent attacks in the first place. This was a war of choice /aggression by a mentally deranged nutcase.

While I didn't support starting the war I sure as hell support finishing the job. They are sure as shit are not going to stop attacks in the strait or against their own people even if the US walks away tomorrow.

I think it is hilarious people are saying we've already lost when what has already been accomplished so far is amongst the most realistically optimistic scenarios. I hope we keep degrading the IRGC, deny it access to profit and keep fracturing their command until the whole bloody thing is attrited to hell then let the Iranians do the rest.

The FCC lacks the authority to ban imports and can only compel providers of telecommunications services not end users.

What they seem to be trying to do is prevent FCC certification testing of new devices and strong arm independent testing outfits which is an abuse of their authority and not something enabled via secure communications act.

Elites hire people to carry weapons on their behalf. When pay checks dry up or there are competing offers the equation fundamentally changes.

These are complex systems and I don't think counting the current number of guys with guns is the deciding factor. The IRGC is a (criminal) enterprise. You can demoralize and starve it of money and resources and deny people paychecks or offer people paychecks from different bosses. The bank collapse itself was triggered by over extending to the IRGC.

Large scale wind is a way better choice than solar for the grid and well worth extra maintenance costs.
