Turing was also involved in Sigsaly, so it's not surprising he ended up working on a second-generation machine that removed some of the drawbacks of Sigsaly.
Here is what's missing from that MS document:
If you are still using Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac, it will stop working fully on 13 July 2026. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook will enter 'reduced functionality mode', a euphemism meaning you can view and print documents but cannot edit, save, or create new ones. Microsoft's documentation doesn't clarify what this means for Outlook users.
Why is this happening? A certificate expiration is forcing Office 2019 into read-only mode, though Microsoft acknowledges this only obliquely in the FAQ. Without a current certificate, the apps can't confirm you have a legitimate license.
MS says this about it:
What you'll experience: You can open/view/print, but you can't edit or save
Word is a second booster at the site in the horizontal integration facility was also destroyed.
After inspecting the HIF and booster, BlueOrigin reported that both are okay.
What's more important is that the China Space Agency refers to them as astronauts, not taikonauts, so it's time to stop inventing new words for 'astronaut' for every country that puts humans in space.
We don't do it for any other occupation, so why needlessly complicate the word 'astronaut'?
nothing at all should be in the Start menu except your own choices
That's not quite what I meant. I expect the Start menu to contain:
- everything that is part of the OS
- every application I install.
To me, the phrase "discover new applications" sounds like Microsoft intend to deploy shovelware, where the first indication that anything new has been installed would be new crap in the Start menu. That's what I don't want.
One of the points was to be able to organise by category
I used that extensively on older Windows versions, but the recent versions have enshittified the Start menu to the point where that no longer works. OpenShell remedies that.
it is a key way for users to discover new applications
I don't want to "discover" new applications in the Start menu, ever.
The ONLY applications that appear in the Start menu should be the ones that I PUT THERE by installing them, so I don't need to discover them.
things like:
- rapid movement of heavy structures like those grid fins and the engines
- rapid pumping of propellant
- separation of the stages
For comparison, a single Space shuttle main engine turbopumps were rated at 17 MW for the oxygen side, and 53 MW for the hydrogen side.
That's not a series of tubes, THIS is a series of tubes!
I asked because I play with the speed control on videos too, and I can rarely set it above 1.5x before it gets unintelligible. But I guess for those "I've heard it all before" videos that doesn't matter.
If I have to watch corporate training videos.. then yeah 5x is fine.
5x? Are you a chipmunk? Overdosed on cafeine?
Giant Lego bricks did happen, at a slightly larger scale, over here in
That's true, but easily the most common complaint in the EU regarding e-bikes is the stupid top speed that is targeted at dense populations with heavy bicycle use,
In the EU, standard e-bikes are regulated to a top speed of 25 km/h. We already see an increase in bicycle accidents due to cyclists being unable to handle 25 km/h safely. This applies to kids who don't know their limits, and older people who have been cycling without assistance all their lives and are now getting an ebike for the first time, and are driving faster than their reaction speed warrants.
I have a faster model (similar to the Class 3 from the article) with a top speed of 45 km/h. It is regulated as a moped, so I need liability insurance, a drivers' licence and I'm required to wear a helmet specifically for this class.
In the part of the Netherlands where I live, I get the option to use this on the road network, or on bike paths. On a bike path in the city, at 45 km/h I'd be a danger to unassisted bikes which rarely do more than 20 km/h. 45 km/h is also incompatible with the road surface of many bike paths, and with the limited sightlines into site entrances etc. When I'm on a bike path, I rarely exceed 30 km/h.
CA's approach isn't "ignorance and stupidity", it's paying attention to what has already happened in other places.
So the albedo goes from 12% to 16-18%. Is that significant, in view of the four orders of magnitude brightness difference we already have?
in what way do you think I did that?
I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated. -- Poul Anderson
