This. And to add my own expansion to this, the number of ants studied by humans is effectively zero. First, out of all the ant biomass, humans have only seen a very, very tiny amount. Ants are so numerous, and so ubiquitous, Google claims

Hmm. When I look at the graphs, I see nothing spectacular here, except for one. In all cases, they pretty much mirror every other country, which over time shows gradual declines. That is, except for Cerebrovascular. I have to wonder, what

apt is an incredible package manager. Don't blame the hammer, blame the carpenter. The problem here is packaging, and maintainer decisions. And yes, I'm familiar with the issues here, and the bugs filed. I think it was handled..

Not clear on why everything will be slower. In my experience, when you run your own hardware, you have guaranteed responsiveness to processing power, RAM speed, I/O. AWS rates, as an example, are so insanely high, that you can literal

Old crusty greybeard here. If you're being charged 10x @32k, that's 3k/week 'normal' charges. This makes me think that your infrastructure could be hosted for about $3k/year, redundant, with bare metal and min

Gun control is a uniquely US problem, at least in its current form. Yet this isn't going to have the same problem as gun control, for example, how easily can people obtain nuclear material? And terrorists? Sure, but an explosive truc

I'm not talking about fooling. Mass produced, these things would be 10k max. We're talking 10+, 15+ years out. What sort of fear do robot soldiers have? None. How does it make people "upset", if a robot soldier is bl

Just like drones used to bomb, as you suggest with Kansas. As time passes though, especially on an actual open battlefield, raw 'kill everything that moves" becomes more of a potential too. However? My logic was predicated upon co

This is bound to happen. There is no way it wouldn't I believe, of course in short term, we gotta worry about stuff like politics, solving hunger and world peace. There will never be world peace, unless humanity is no longer human, o

During development, and initial per-unit sales? Sure. Once mass produced, not even close. Think of: - training costs (training grunts isn't 100% free) - pay as soldiers wait to go on missions - and here's the BIG one, medical car

Really though, I'd likely just take what others have suggested. Just write your resume with role titles comparative to what you've done. List those large projects you've lead, and write 'Project Lead' or some other

One thing to Google is "constructive dismissal". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_dismissal#Changes... I am not even remotely suggesting that you bring this up to management. However, the concept o

Supposedly identical, yet the European one (French?) wasn't approved for use in Canada yet. Your response made me think back to my research a few years back. Mostly, because I am surprised that there are STILL shortages! For more tha

We tried the same thing, in Canada, with the yellow fever vaccine. There were shortages about 6? 7? years ago, and 1/5th dosage was consider a stop-gap, by conveying some immunity. (And, better outcomes overall, too) Not sure how all

If this is about the MC form, I found that if I pasted my CC number (such as from a pass manager), it would bork unless: - I entered the number - Then moved to the front of the input field - Deleted a char, and re-entered it, because - an e

Hah! I bet in the mind of a bank exec, it may very well. An amusing point. There are laws in some countries preventing this, but your point is entirely valid and even makes me wonder about opting out. Heeeey, wait a minute, is this some ba

I bought a current model on Amazon, about 6 months ago, but was really disappointed. I have a rooted Nook Glowlight, years old, yet I find it much better. The Dasung had several 'modes' you could choose, but none worked well. Wo

While the lead theory may indeed be true, one other thing has changed in almost all areas of the world. Birth rates. And with declining birth rates, comes a decline in the number of youth, meaning "more of the population" is of an

Tracking is different than historical data, for tracking can be a live, forwarded feed. And even with that, you'd need a court order to force compulsion. Historical data, if it doesn't exist, cannot be revealed. And so far, ther

I get what the author was trying to say, but it's still -- a very limited view. Mostly because of the last bit (better/faster). Birds are to planes, as humans are to cars. Yet can a car leap over barricades, climb mountains, tre

Saying I agree with the topmost comment, is not accurate. What I said, and with the context and nuance indicated in this thread, is different than what the top most comment's author said, and its replies.

The RFC does state that. Note the use of 'future' and 'corrected'. Understand context. The perm I state, is referencing that SMTP session, yet at the end of the session, your job is to bounce back to end user. Else, ho

With bare metal, you just have to roll your own monitoring. Primarily, only buy what you can work with easily. Mainly, esure raid monitoring can be scripted, and you really need not depend upon the manufacturer's horrid software (whic

I'll be the fly in the ointment here, the additional sand in your shorts, and say "This is why bare metal is better". Bare metal doesn't have to be VM/containerless. Roll your own. But at least in this case, you&#

Same people argue that email is a hot mess You're lumping together "email content" with "SMTP". SMTP isn't a "patchwork of standards", it has a very specific RFC for it. SMTP works very, very, ver

I just realised that you may not get the other side of the scenario. On a 5xx series response, you bounce. Where does the bounce go? Back to the original sender. This is the 'closing of the loop'. Original sender sees the messa

Email is extremely non-brittle, and everyone following the RFC is one main way it is able to be non-brittle. What is naive here, is that you think things are the way there are, for no reason. Mail is decades old, built upon millions of h
