Issuing paper currencies is a licence to steal. And steal they do.

The commonwealth bank was off the air to me for almost 8 hours. At this point I gave up and went to bed. 3 hours later, people were still reporting problems.

If 11 hours is 'briefly' how long would a long outage have to be?

I think it is going to take a long time to repair the damage from 70 years of rule by the CCP.

- Deliberate destruction of all civil society institutions. There is just you, alone against the state.

- Setting person against person, even within the family, with betrayals and forced confessions. Trust no-one became the motto.

- Rampant corruption lies and cover-ups. E.g. we now know covid was covered up for many months before the news leaked out.

The CCP must be amazed at the naivety of the West, falling for their "later on, I'll be good, but 'temporarily' I'll be bad" spiel.

All I can see in the article is promises and guesses about what they might be capable of. Zero runs on the board in this space, where Tesla has a huge lead.

On top of that they have a proven track record of fraud and deceit.

This market reminds me so much of the late 1990s. I remember back then one company announced they were going to move their servers to Linux and their stock price doubled. I like linux but this is not a game changing move. Today, VW announces that they plan to sell electric cars at some point in the nonexistent future and their price explodes. Same old...

You forgot to provide the evidence for this. Perhaps because the evidence does not exist.

My question is: What observation from the LHC would disprove string theory? If ST is compatible with every possible experimental outcome, it predicts nothing.

> Good grief, dude. Not everything has some deep underlying 'message'.

You obviously didn't read the interview with the "Vagina Monologues" lady - who consulted on the file - who basically agreed with everything the Return of the Kings claimed.

You may remember VM as the play which included the famous line "If it was a rape, it was a good rape". Before you get outraged, be aware that this was a lesbian rape and therefore it's OK.

> I don't buy for a second that men are more likely to be the victims of violence, intimidation and other physical threats.

What planet do you live on? Planet feminism? Go look up some statistics. You know,some factual information.

inb4 facts are mean, and patriarchal.

> From one male nerd to another: not acceptable.

Give me a break. Please turn off white knight mode before you embarrass yourself further.

> The whole point is women can't know a-priori who the good guys are and the penalty is being raped or killed

Here's a hint: it's hard to know whether a women is a bad risk too. 5% of women have borderline personality disorder. Another 1% bipolar, 1% schizophrenics, all in all crazy adds up to around 15% of women, and they often look just fine. And they can wreck your life.

>

You post is typical of its genre in that you show absolutely no appreciation or empathy for the problems men have. There is no balance in your post. A complete lack of quantified factual information. But lots of "muh feelz".

Far more men than women are subject to capital punishment including stoning, but you only care about the women.

Men are far more subject to violence than women.yet the calls are all for "an end to violence AGAINST WOMEN":

Far more men have their genital mutilated than women (and just as severely based on loss of nerve endings) but feminists like you don't give a damn.

> Seriously, read TFA, it's a thoughftul piece.

Yes I read it. Another fact-free piece hating on men and shaming them.

No he didn't hang around men's rights sites.

The closest he got was his enthusiastic participation in an ANTI pickup artist site. That is a site that shames men for trying to make themselves more attractive to women.

He hated women, but he hated men just as much. 4 of the 6 people he killed were men. He had fantasies about killing all the men in the world other than himself Saying this case is about misogyny is laughable.

Also noticeable how we are again getting stuck into white males. Even though Rodgers was half Jewish half Asian hardly a typical white American. When a man does a bad thing he has to be redefined as 'white', as with George Zimmerman, a hispanic with recent black ancestry who shot a black thug who had attacked him. Zimmerman had to be redefined as white, even to the extent of his pictures in the media being retouched to make his skin color whiter,

> The paperback edition of Brad Stone's The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon — a book Amazon disliked so much it denounced it — is suddenly listed as 'unavailable.

This would be disturbing if true.

I just did a search, All editions are available and in fact I just bought the Kindle edition now.

Sorry I can't upvote you as I have insufficient karma..

> This is just more of the same delusion. Even a simple, inexpensive DAC

The oversampling that DACs use is to avoid artifacts from the reconstruction process. I have implemented these algorithms myself. But the DAC cannot reconstruct what is not there. And there are inevitable losses in the digitization process with a limited number of bits.

> 16 bit isn't imperfect given that it scales from the lowest detectable audio level to a level that would cause hearing loss.

You are confusing two things here. The 16 bits has to suffice both for the dynamic range of the music and for the structure of the wave form.

The dynamic range of the human ear is ~100db. 10db is worth about 3.32 bits. So 100db is about 33 bits, or twice the entire space we have already.

On top of this you need room for the wave form. Realistically if you want a pathetic 8 bits for the wave form, you are left with 8 bits for dynamic range or less than 30db.

So much bro science in this thread.
