Everyone who makes actual economic decisions based on this kind of data have long-ago abandoned confidence in government reporting. It's politicized and it's been systematically sweetened to preserve the illusion of low inflation and higher employment for decades.

Extraordinary claims... Seemingly the data influences the financial markets?

Submission + - Newly discovered ResHydra botnet can disrupt all US internet (wsj.com)

sturgeon writes: WSJ reports today that new botnet (reshydra) can generate 100+ Tbps plus attacks (10x size of recent largest ever Cloudflare attack!) and disrupt all internet traffic to US or other countries. Reshydra use tens of millions of compromised android fire sticks in homes and security web cameras in businesses around the world.

This should apply to anyone LOCATED in the EU, not just those who have a EU Apple account. You shouldn't be recording and processing the voice and visuals of anyone in that space because you'd still be processing European data.

If it concerns GDPR seemingly they'd be under the exception: https://commission.europa.eu/l...

When the regulation does not apply

Your company is service provider based outside the EU. It provides services to customers outside the EU. Its clients can use its services when they travel to other countries, including within the EU. Provided your company doesn't specifically target its services at individuals in the EU, it is not subject to the rules of the GDPR.

Putting the fact that your sole point of opposition is basically "I hate that people get paid for doing something of value for one who's paying them", which is a communist talking point and nothing more. It has nothing to do with driving laws.

What exactly do you think a role of a fairly expensive HMD would be in Amazon's logistical operations when used on the operators?

The current progress line in military piloting is Dashboard > Heads Up Display > Helmet Mounted Display.

On the road cars are already at HUD stage. There are plenty of cars that project a HUD in driver's field of vision ahead of the driver. This would be a natural extension of that, mounted directly to the head of the driver.

I see zero reasons why this would be banned when HUDs are allowed everywhere, unless it does some illegal distraction on the road. Which is unlikely.

>As for words vs concepts. You still don't seem to have grasped the square cube law.

This is why I don't like debating people who are word thinkers. They conclude that "there's some very basic thing that you don't understand, because words".

The fact that I specifically invoke the concept that REQUIRES it as baseline to be a viable concept never enters your mind. Because you don't think with concepts.

I think people forgot the entire point of the SIM card was so that you were not locked into a carrier. Once that sim card physically goes away, so does your ability to switch carriers and use cheaper sim's in countries you travel to.

I don't understand what your saying, afaik there are carrier locked phones with sim trays. Seemingly iphones can hold multiple esim https://www.macobserver.com/ti... (iphone users feel free to chime in because I can't guarantee that link isn't AI slop).

I'm just going to add that you also don't seem to appreciate the temperatures involved with remote heating with the "let's just heat pump from sand to remote heating". Your refrigerant is going to be some super rare golden grade stuff to handle those temperatures, if it even exists in commercial world today at all.

As for the rest, we seem to just keep talking past each other. You seem to think with words, i.e. "but this is not a heat exchanger, so you're wrong", whereas I talk with concepts "everything is a heat exchanger because it exchanges heat, here are the criteria that make making this work well difficult".

I don't think you understand what is being said, and end up arguing against wind mills as a result. This is what leads to these hilarious statements like "it's a heat bunker" (obviously, but the more surface, the more heat is exchanged, the more thermal difference, the more heat is exchanged) and "just heat pump it bro".

It's also hilarious that you think cooling municipal buildings is of higher importance that heating them in Finland, and that you can heat pump things efficiently with this.

Hint: it's really cold here in winters by your standards if you're worried about cooling buildings more than heating them. Non-human survivable level of cold during cold snaps if you don't heat your residence to a significant degree (unless you want to wear multiple layers of clothing all the time, and use proper thermal sleeping bags - doable but extremely unpleasant and efficiency reducing as most male Finns will attest, since we have to learn how to do that in the military). We don't use cheap and easy heat pumps for main heating circuit either for the same reason. Those become inferior to just simple heat resisting elements during cold snaps, because outside heat exchanger just freezes in our cold snap temperatures (and freezes over even outside of them) and you need to constantly resistively heat it to make it work at all. This is why if you heat pump buildings as a main heating source here, you do geothermal heat pumps. And if you're doing that, you might as well take the building partially or even fully off remote heating, because upfront investment in geothermal pumps with our kind of rocky ground is incredibly expensive. So it makes little sense unless you're in urban center where there's just not enough surface to drill into to generate enough heat, or it runs over one of our massive under city tunnel networks to even connect the building to central heating if you choose geothermal heat pumping as a primary heat source. Just avoid all the expensive connection costs entirely and go full geothermal if you can. Many do so especially on the southern coast where temperatures aren't as gnarly as inland and the north when living in more rural areas.

Comment Re:It's only okay to protect your cuisine.... (Score 1) 111

No cuisine is protected in Europe. The *name* of a cuisine is protected, either as a protected designation of origin with geographical indication (e.g. Champagne can only be called Champagne if it comes from Champagne), or traditional speciality guaranteed having to meet the requirements for the thing to actually be the authentic recipe (e.g. Jamon Serrano needs to be dry cured and cut from the correct part of the meat to be called that).

At no point are you restricted from making anything, just stop calling it something it's not. Your post has zero relevance to this ban.

if food is supposed to be made in a kitchen

Kitchen? Man I didn't know people existed who don't own a BBQ. Or do you not consider that food? Do you run through the park and stamp on peoples picnic telling them not to eat it because it's not food unless it comes from a kitchen?

They 3D printed a building but they didn't pressurize it so its not even testing actual simulation conditions and its the same building they used last year...

They're testing the performance of the crew, not the structural integrity of their habitat. Full bio-isolation in a sealed structure might be useful, but perhaps it's not essential at this stage.

[...] what exactly are they trying to figure out about human psychology and conditions of isolation?

Per TFS:

The crew will undergo realistic resource limitations, equipment failures, communication delays, isolation and confinement, and other stressors, along with simulated high-tempo extravehicular activities. These scenarios allow NASA to make informed trades between risks and interventions for long-duration exploration missions.

Mars apparently no farther away than any less affluent area.
