The longer it goes on, I expect another statistic which is once the backpay check clears, people quit. Because this is bullshit. The backpay will not cover the financing costs of going into debt to cover bills, food, rent, mortgage. The gov

The entire event was over in less than a minute, and during that time there’s only one thing pilots are working on: maintaining what little control they have, and gaining as much altitude as possible without loss of control. This is consumi

Treasury should offer to pay 5 cents per penny turned in. That's a penny more than it costs to make, but probably still cheaper than the cost to resuming making them, and might incentivize getting stagnant pennies to move out of circul

If UEFI Secure Boot is enabled, Fedora kernels detect this and lockdown. And hibernation is then disabled. The reason is lack of an autheticated hibernation image. This work has had several proposals but still isn't implemented. I&#x27

It wasn't only family members. Biden granted clemency or pardons to over 4200 people. Notably for the same blanket pardon from 2014 to 2025 for family members, includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, and General Mark Milley. And all of the members

Some workloads may do better with zswap. Cache is compressed, and pages evicted to disk based swap on an LRU basis. The case of swap thrashing sounds like a misbehaving program, which can maybe be tamed by oomd. System responsiveness though

Which is why it's infuriating that health care companies implement secure email by asking the customer to click on a 3rd party link in an email. An email they're saying is an insecure delivery system. But we're supposed to cl

Part 103 vehicles can't be operated over congested areas. FAA considers anything more than sparsely populated as congested. A single church in the middle of nowhere might be sparsely populated. I'm not even sure you can take off o

I disagree. There’s significant amounts of airspace set aside for military use. They can turn off the transponder there. When operating in congested terminal area airspace they need to follow the same rules general aviation, air taxi and ai

I assume they just want to redirect the required payroll taxes into the stock market via privatization. Currently it goes into the trust fund which buys U.S. treasuries. https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/ProgData/assets.htm

As far as I'm aware 14 CFR 107 lacks anything like what applies to aircraft in case of power plant failure. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/part-91#p-91.119(a) The catch all under both regulations is an

The video perspective might be misleading - but if the area surrounding the crane is as totally devoid from other obstacles as it appears? I wonder if the operator maybe didn't see the crane. How is that possible? No idea. 14 CFR 107 c

They hardly need to dump them. Merely not buy as much as they're expected to. It may have happened during the week of "liberation day" when tariffs were announced, resulting in reduced bill buys. https://fortune.co

The backing disk or file will only be written to if cache eviction on the basis of LRU comes into play, which is fine because that's probably worth the write hit. The likelihood of thrashing, the biggest complaint about disk based swap

Reform is done legally. The statute this falls under requires the fee be based on the administrative cost to process the application. Changing the statute requires Congress to act.
