If it pays the bills

Folks gonna play the game.

How common of a name is Soham Parekh in India?

At one time I was in a tech group with three Mike Johnsons. Assuredly different people, though slightly confusing.

But I don't really feel sorry for these startups going for global minimum wage and getting burned.

Hire an American named Steve from Akron and you'll be less likely to be scammed.

Lol. You're ridiculous. One might think you're afraid of what you are already pretty sure is the truth.

If nothing else, CO2 levels are part of "the total environment." You know what NOAA stands for right? That second last A?

I've actually seen something similar to that happen. A company I worked for accidentally doubled everyone's pay on a payrun. They could successfully reverse the transactions when the payment went into a regular bank account. But for employees who had their wages go directly towards paying off a mortgage, the transactions couldn't be reversed. They had to deduct it from the next payrun instead for those employees.

Wells Fargo is pretty bad. Citibank strikes me more as incompetent than outright dishonest like Wells Fargo seems to be.

Sorry, I meant *intentionally* non-standards-compliant.

Could it just be that they don't support DP Alt mode at all, and that their dock uses DisplayLink instead? Or that they don't implement the split mode where half the bandwidth is for USB and half the bandwidth is for DP, like most docking stations might typically use?

It's way worse than underhanded. It means that your USB-C Switch can't connect via USB-C to any USB-C-equipped television sets, because those by definition won't send Nintendo's nonstandard VDM. If it were even remotely acceptable to play fast and loose with the spec like that, given the history of the MFi program, you can assume that Apple would have done it, yet iPhone hardware supports any generic off-the-shelf USB-C hub, complete with HDMI.

But yeah, since DP is licensed by a different company than USB, the USB branding doesn't cover it. :-( I'm reminded of this XKCD. The most compelling thing someone can say about the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it isn't strictly illegal to do what they did. That's the ultimate concession. One more reason to stay away from Nintendo, as if them pulling the product from Amazon weren't a good enough reason by itself.

Rules for thee, not for me.

of all possible timelines.

I wish I had the points to mod you up.

Probably depends on its characteristics.

He had quite an amusing series of papers popping the bubbles of all the 'debunkers'.

He never proved what it was but he sure proved many things that it wasn't, as claimed by ThE eXpErTs.

Midwit scientists abhor an unknown and run to bad ideas like a safety blanket.

FWIW his grad student at the time had the better ideas, involving relative motion of solar systems within the Galactic Plane. His models were the best fit for the available data.

But Amazon Prime app requires account. Freevee didn't.

It's convenient to make up your own facts, yes? NOAA's mission, as established by several congresses, is rather more than weather forecasting.

https://www.congress.gov/crs-p...

The agency’s history dates to 1807, when the Survey of the Coast—a precursor to NOAA—was established. In 1970, President Nixon created NOAA as part of a broader reorganization plan.

In its current form, NOAA’s responsibilities or functions are divided among six subagencies, or line offices: National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS); National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); National Ocean Service (NOS); National Weather Service (NWS); Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR); and Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO).

In July 1970, President Richard M. Nixon sent Reorganization Plan No. 4 (hereinafter referred to as the reorganization plan) to Congress.6 In the reorganization plan, President Nixon proposed the creation of NOAA to protect life and property from natural hazards, better understand the total environment, and explore and develop ways to use marine resources in a “coordinated way” within DOC.7 Most Members of the 91st Congress supported the reorganization plan.8 Under the terms of the statutory authority under which the reorganization plan was submitted, the plan went into effect on October 3, 1970.9

NOAA's Mission: Science. Service. Stewardship.
1. To understand and predict changes in climate, weather, ocean and coasts.

2. To share that knowledge and information with others.

3. To conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources.

I replied to a specific post. You seem to want to make some statements that are tangentially related to what I said then, when presented with compelling counterarguments, change the subject and talk about the article?

Count me out.

Can you create a storefront on Amazon that is linked to by Kingston?

"Sold by Amazon" means Amazon bought the thing from Kingston and is now selling it to you. Are you accusing Amazon itself, not one of it's random third party sellers, of selling counterfeits? If you can prove that you can probably get a pretty good payout.
