Just because everyone was operating on the assumption that high energy cosmic neutrinos exist doesn't mean that it isn't worth proving that beyond all doubt. It wouldn't be the first time if the results was unexpected, or if it turned out a whole load of accepted physics were based on a faulty assumption.
Tesco's - one of the UK's largest supermarkets - came out a few months ago and said "We've migrated off VMWare because of the licensing". They did it in months. On the major backends running every store in the country.
They had a massive dispute with VMWare and are suing them (they say they bought a perpetual licence, VMWare then cut them off), but while they did that... they just migrated their ENTIRE infrastructure.
Sure, it's a big thing to do. But it's not impossible, doesn't take years and - like Tesco - you don't need to wait to do it. If it's THAT business-critical? All the more reason to have an alternative ready to move to at a moment's notice.
Companies CHOOSE to get tied in, they CHOOSE to only ever run one system, they CHOOSE to make the migration painful, they CHOOSE to hold back on it in the hopes they can negotiate to carry on just as they are. And those are all DUMB from a business-continuity point of view and no substantial organisation should be allowing that to happen.
Pretending that huge organisations paying Broadcom millions are somehow powerless in this is actual complicity in the worthless side of IT where everything is just absent of any redundancy, resiliency, independence, failover, etc. etc. etc.
rich people are not psychopaths
Being a psychopath/sociopath is a key ingredient in getting rich. Generally some opportunity had to come along that required a disregard for the welfare or fairness to others. A lot of folks stepped away from an opportunity because they didn't think it was right, but a wealthy person likely seized upon some such occurances.
So far so good? Surely the camera must have given this cop an image of the car that he could see was the wrong colour. It should never have got as far as her apartment.
Huawei was targeted because it was an R&D powerhouse, and all it did was make them redouble their efforts. Sanctions can't do much about patents because if they tried, it would just make other countries invalidate US patents in response.
Apple charges $300 for an additional 512GB of SSD storage on a Macbook Air. So that 12GB is worth $7.
If it's the hidden nature of the camera that you have an issue with, button and other wearable, concealed cameras have been available for years too.
Well, true. But that's not an excuse to keep repeating the same mistakes.
Should have made Web BASIC.
Javascript's type handling is atrocious, and that's pretty fundamental to a language.
The main benefit of AM is that it propagates very, very far. For emergency use you only need one transmitter working, to cover a very wide area. Not the multiple systems that you need for Starlink to work.
Many EVs support vehicle to load, so you can run appliances off them in the event of an outage. The issue is more to do with the planning that needs to happen for things like that to be useful. If you are going to rely on a battery, you need to make sure it is charged when you need it, which precludes also using it for general driving.
It's more of a nice to have.
Every accusation is a confession with you lot. People whine about imaginary problems? Fed up of being told you are a bad person for your beliefs?
Good luck with this. Shaming people for being fat worked so well, I'm sure belittling them will get them to have more kids too. It certainly worked when people pointed out the deficiencies in your behaviour.
