I know vets who have moved states simply to leave a poorly run VA region and find a good one, so yes it very much does.

Interesting. I think I would prefer a world where companies would do right by their customers and there be no need to take them to court, but if it was indeed accessible online then hey maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Either idea seems li

Based on my experience with corporate accounting, this is all too likely.

My parents had to resort to this to break out of their contract with AT&T when mobile service went to absolute shit following the 4g rollout. Repeated trips to the local store were met with them waving vaguely at the service map and ref

>I guess you never saw a proper tape library? Does the robot armature in the enclosure swapping tapes around in Schwarzenegger's Eraser count? Thanks for the example, that is a lot of tape and a lot of throughput.

Do any of these theoreticals account for filling the storage media with data at the source, or ingesting it at the destination? Yes a container of tapes is a lot of data, but how long would that reasonably take to write to tape? How many

Give it a few more years and the annual Call of Duty title may well hit a tb. The latest one is up to something like 300gb iirc.

Unfortunately, drives are not so common these days. I had to go buy an external USB DVD drive to see the images given to me after a scan, just last year.

You have the vacuum serviced, of course! Like any other appliance. My parents built their dream home in 1999 and included a central vac, it needed some TLC in the mid 2010's so they called the company up to service it since it had a li

It would all come down to the Cost Benefit Analysis, whether retrofitting an e.g. unused warehouse or misc. industrial space to be a datacenter would be more cost effective/time efficient than a brand new building with all the general

Who should the proceeds go to? The offending owner? The local municipality in which the offence occurred? The regional government coffers? Per the article you would have to be exceeding the speed limit by a very sizable margin to be eligibl

Neither did I. At the controlled area of the shipyard I've been in and out of recently those deemed important enough to need phones inside had ruggedized flip phones with no cameras, it felt like something out of 2009.

It need not be an adversary, these cables are just laid across the seabed aren't they? Uncaring dragnet fishermen could be a potential culprit. God knows they cause enough damage to everything else down there. Or as other commenters sa

Yeah that is what I was trying to get at. In such a case I certainly hope the likes of WF would reap what they sowed.

I was on a project that was subject to the cleared UAS list you linked, and I cannot recommend either Parrot (incredibly long boot times, underpowered motors meant it was slow and had poor station keeping in high winds) or Skydio (bad heat

I'm as pessimistic as anyone else about the Great Recession and our government's response to it, the lack of bankers ending up in jail, no big bank break ups and all that. However, were WF to make a series of bad business decision

Just anecdotes or vibes, having been on both sides of that one. I'd call it more of an "indoor" vs "outdoor" work dichotomy, honestly.

Solid "you had me in the first half" energy. I was seriously raising my eyebrow until I got to the bit about parachute-less participants jumping from a half meter altitude. Well done.

The thing that's always got me is how loose a hold Excel has on the clipboard. Copy a cell and you best not do anything but paste it where you want to, cause so much as breathing will clear that copy.

I find it curious that people generally applaud Costco for paying good wages to their workers yet don't extend that consideration to those who build the stores. Is it latent classism? Disdain for tradespeople? Is outsourcing bad when i

Pepsi had a chance to kickstart the Snowcrash weirdo corporate microstate world and instead they sent their navy right to the scrappers. Cowards.
