A bullet fired straight up will come down in free fall (and tumbling). Certainly not lethal nor very dangerous. Bullets fired on ballistic trajectories can be lethal OTOH, That's even a machine gun doctrine to hit enemies behind cover.

Best case NTP is in the order of millisecond precision. Completely inadequate for this case.

My statement also applies to modern PTP servers, e.g. https://www.heoldesign.com/T108-GPS-GLONASS-BEIDOU-GALILEO-T... If you are in the market for one, IMHO nowadays multi-constellation should be a baseline requirement.

Politically driven shutdown. But the point I just made makes it unlikely, it's not the weapon it once was.

I would understand if it was a full GNSS outage, must most "GPS" equipment nowadays is multi-constellation, using as much as four (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, BeiDou). The loss of one constellation should go undetected by most end user

See also the Blackfish documentary (which seem to have left Netflix sadly). Almost all captive male orcas have a floppy dorsal fin, that is a definite sign of ill health and seldom happens in the wild.

Just throw the candle in a bucket of LOX. The candle energy density number is very biased, as you still need to bring O₂, which weights a lot.

Data bundled with the code is good, but code mixed with the data is a whole different thing. Notebooks are better than Excel in that regard I think. As for expecting people to religiously and accurately observe procedures, I work with human

Consultant, so I see lots of different customers, mainly industry. Many Excel sheets are a form of shadow IT, no proper way to get the app they need in a reasonable time, so people jury rig something with what they have. I suspect I see mor

In my experience, oftentime Excel is also used out of desperation from not being able to install proper tools, it's not necessarily the only programming solution the users know, it's the only one IT let them have (in the case of t

Excel doesn't have a compeling, standard way of doing version control that I know of, and most Excel files mix freely data and code in the same sheet, which makes debugging pretty hard. Excel files go from assets to liabilities when th

The main issue with that site, is that every time numbers are involved they are wrong, often by an order of magnitude... Here one wildly optimistic number is kWh/year on the 10kW turbine, but I suspect the energy cost of building a fib

I cannot fathom how they put obvious mistakes in the training material (e.g. hairline in the last example). How are they selling something when their own training material shows it's total bunk. The time and money spent on that could b

The issue is that in this specific case, it was willingly publishing things powerful people wanted to be published. (Also I'm euro and don't have a dog in this fight, I just lost all respect for Assange and Wikileaks).

by brohee 7y ago
The election outcome is obviously much more multifactor than that, but that doesn't change the fact that Assange was coordinating with Gucifer 2.0 against Clinton. Wikileaks wasn't neutral in that election.

I was about to read it, and then saw they were citing Filliol, which put me off to say the list (the dude is completely discredited since he "broke" AES). Also, interestingly, none of the authors seem to have left much footprints
