At HF bitrates they can use a one-time pad. The only unbreakable cipher. A single hard drive shipped (or hand-delivered) to each transmitter location ought to last a decade.

It's not surprising because IPv6 completely ignored transition planning: https://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html Twenty years later, it still hasn't displaced IPv4. IPv6 was designed by a bunch of telephone-co

No, it's no different than the capacitor in that respect. Capacitance is dq/dV. A (fixed) capacitor has a constant capacitance C just like a fixed memristor has a constant memristance M. Both M and C can be used in differential

He'll be released to some kind of house arrest (or whatever the UK equivalent is), and be found dead the next day. It will be ruled a suicide.

Unlike regular debit cards, the Eagle Cash is managed on-base, using batch processing which ensures that the cards remained useful even when connections to banks and credit unions State-side are severed. This is really the whole point, bu

The card chips are issued by a trusted central authority and (supposedly) tamperproof. You can't "run EagleCash" on your laptop; it only runs on card chips issued by the military.

This is all kind of moot because of how popular DocuSign has become. You get no opportunity to redline anything -- unless the signature-requestor decides to grant you that permission, which they basically never do, because DocuSign has beco

Same here but with Home Depot instead. They're pretty good at filtering out the absolute junk, because having customers return products is really expensive for brick+mortar retailers.

I've totally noticed this. I bought two Delta Lt Zip microfleeces from them in 2018. They were expensive (over $100 each) but incredibly high quality, fit me like a glove, still wearable today after umpteen washes. In early 2020 I ord

It sounds good to people who are (a) in the larger group and (b) not in the small group and (c) shortsighted. People seem to be getting increasingly shortsighted these days.
