Comment A and B systems (Score 5, Interesting) 40

Back in the last quarter of the 20th century, many POTS telephone switches had an A side and a B side.

During software upgrades - and yes those were a thing - they would route all new calls to the A side and wait until the last call on the B side ended before they would take the B side down for the upgrade.

Then they would do some testing before bringing up the B side.

Only after they were confident that the B side was working would they upgrade the A side.

This worked in part because they could schedule upgrades when the load was low enough to be handled only by half of the switch's capacity.

Comment Meta is a Nazi company. (Score 3, Informative) 56

Meta is a Nazi company that banned people for posting #NeverAgain and links to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (the British government's official Holocaust Memorial Day organizing office and remembrance agency).

It's absolutely no surprise that a Nazi company run by Nazi Zuck would do things like this article describes either.

Submission + - Scientists Turn Plastic Waste Into Edible Cookies (futurism.com)

fjo3 writes: In the event we turn all arable land on this planet into a barren heath incapable of growing food, humankind may have to resort to reaping what we sowed by eating our own plastic pollution.

A team of researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale just demonstrated that this was possible by using specially engineered yeast to create tasty — and yes, edible — cookies which they 3D printed out of plastic waste.

The yeast breaks down the components of plastic compounds and agricultural byproducts like discarded plant stalks into proteins, fats, acids, and flavorings that we can eat. When these are combined together, the mixture is fed into a 3D printer that spits out cookies of any desired shape.

If he worked with a steady supply of actual instrumentalists, people that spend years developing their skills and produce music regularly, he'd understand why so many musicians dislike AI.

He has. For a long time. The problem is, apparently he doesn't like to pay them, and they're not aware of that before the fact.

Re: Anthony, I think the constitutional right to a fair trial should have been respected. That the numerous clear violations of process require a ruling of mistrial, removal of the prior judge, and a retrial.

That's not a "left" thing, that's a CONSTITUTIONAL thing. Don't you claim you love the Constitution? OH RIGHT... YOU RETARDICAN KLANWHOREFUCKS burn crosses because you're Constitution-hating Shit-eating Trailer Trash Klan Inbreds.
