I checked one from the article at random (hdtoday) and it was definitely hosted/fronted by cloudflare. DNS wouldn't help here. Sigh.

I don't understand why more people don't run a local recursive resolver. It isn't hard.

Additionally, I'd love to see every consumer router have a local Unbound recursive resolver (or similar) included. Ideally, used by default. With an optional forward to the local ISP or a 3rd party DNS resolver if absolutely necessary.

Having mega-resolvers like cloudflare, google, 9.9.9.9 etc makes them an overly attractive target.

If it's tap-and-go then there's less opportunity to present a tip box to fill in.

Around here, places that don't regularly involve tips tend to not require a signature. But where tips are anticipated, then a signature is almost always "required". Its Oh So Convenient that you've got the pen and are about to write just next to the tip box.

The card I use most often doesn't even have a signature sample. Most card machines will print "Signature not required" but tip-anticipated places will often still ask for a signature in a bit of spare space.

I'd be more inclined to suspect that it was a choice of Carrot or Stick.

Electric lawn mowers make less noise than gas-powered ones.

Opened it 3 times in Firefox private mode, got 3 different results, all apparently "unique".

Chrome private browsing seems consistent, but much slower.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Someone who broke their neck and was suffering from paralysis. You can control a chair or exoskeleton. People who can not hear today have cochlear implants, this is not all that different and might (eventually) work better. Or speak, or see. Other people who are disabled in various ways.

Oops. To continue: I'm just not seeing that it is so hard to access. But then, I use a Linux desktop, which has always come with a proper PDF renderer, there has never been a need to download "Acrobat".
