You can call EMS in such a situation if you can afford to wait. Fire and rescue usually will not bill you, and may find the proprietor at fault.

It does two things (or three, but all of which use the same hardware). PC sampling, and counters that tick on specific events. The events can be processor instruction related, like cache misses, or kernel events.

It's usually marginally funded and/or essentially private ventures that back out or go bankrupt. There's cases of restaurants having to close down because they simply don't have renovation funds. If it's truly a pub

A solid rocket engine. It's not hard. Did you mean missiles or drones?

A lot of the cost in defense contracts is paying for guaranteed domestic supply in the event of a war. If you buy COTS parts and outsource your machining I see $10k as very achievable, the majority of that being metal and explosives. The el

And I'd invite you to re-read my comment. He agrees with my main point: > In static-system vs. static-system warfare. Thus, in Syria – where the Syrian Civil War has been waged as a series of starve-or-surrender urban sieges, a hall

That's not how it works? That's all I get? I'd refer you to the site guidelines, barging into a thread and going "NO U" is not a real conversation. A siege of a city is more impractical than it ever has been. In anc

Tanks help anchor infantry to the front line. They are mobile fortification. But they are more for open field combat than for urban combat. You're not the only one seeing tanks as partially obsolete. Force projection via planes is typi

They are amazingly useful in real warfare. Drop nerve gas on a city, walk in a couple days later. WMDs are the only way to really take a country by force, and of all of them, chemical weapons are the most palatable and also the easiest to p

Not true anymore. RDP encodes the entire desktop as it is more efficient than relaying the draw commands. You will notice compression artifacts on a poor network connection as RDP reduces the bitrate to compensate.

Everyone who can please go find the bug report where users were outraged about the page visibility API and comment. If Firefox can block popups for the user's benefit, it can mess with the page visibility for the user's benefit.

You sure on the oxalic acid aspect? I could see it maybe for bugs, but I figured the crystals would be too tiny. Oxalic acid causes kidney problems in larger organisms because it is hard to process. I suppose its crystal formation and poor

Quite different as disputes between businesses are seen quite differently from consumer and business disputes. The protections in the US are not nearly as strong as, say, Germany, where it's entirely possible that a grocery store can&

Nope, brand new. You can pay entire sticker price up front and get them unlocked.

This is generally news to the hyper-libertarian HN clientele but I am pretty sure enforcing your rights as a consumer isn't supposed to open you up to retaliation in the US.

I just went to Best Buy's website. There's unlocked phones. It's typically the carrier branch stores that don't sell unlocked devices, though they often do in my experience (you'll get the phone cheaper somewhere el

Did he try to do anything in a small claims court? Get a consultation with a lawyer? This is such a slam dunk it seems infinitely worth pursuing. Obviously yes you'd rather not, but I never see updates on if the issue gets solved.

Not markup on the parts. The whole product you are initially sold.

NewPipe has loads of random breakage. But as a plus, it doesn't need you to sign in. Despite my issues with needing to log in, seeing Vanced go is horrible. It is an insanely well put together app.

The speed you want them to run is a factor also. The rule of thumb hasn't applied for a while, he's right in noting that in the post.

It's typical to have a markup goal of at least 10x going from place of origin to destination market. It is a scam. Source: involved in electronic design and manufacture.

Showing up in person is its own kind of pathology. If they offer masters online, why not undergrad? There's a lot of threads here with amazingly tone deaf people who are just "go to school" or "get a masters" when t

That's why you put it in an inches thick metal case and drop it down low. What, you think they just didn't consider that ?

Binding to C/C++ libraries or other system libraries is not something that's well documented, officially. On Windows there's a lot of 3rd party effort that is easily searchable. But for a long time the interop layer was not (

It's the incentivized/induced demand problem. Build out a new freeway, suddenly it's full of traffic. Same thing for power. If you make power cheap people find more ways to use it. This is still probably a good thing, but som

The .NET frameworks (blazor, etc) are too complicated. Peak FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition there. The interop layer than you have to go through to do a lot of stuff is actually quite tame. It just needs more time on Linux.
