From how these contracts were explained to me, this is a win for Boeing (probably). Most of these contracts have an initial deposit then payment on delivery however if the order is cancelled, Boeing keeps any deposit and possibly some or al

Not so positive other things to think about. Auto loan defaults are near record and are bundled similar t mortgages in 2007. Student loan debt is at record high with stagnant wages over the last 10 years. Personal loan and mortgage debt is

I don't put much faith in videos made by known con artists who until yesterday were up for felony charges. Not sure why some set of the internet clings to them either.

In my case there is a glitch in the 1903 install where having external drives attached forces a fail as the installer can't determine which is the Windows drive or something (per an error/forum I read at the time). I had coped the

That makes sense. With import tariffs in both countries aimed at goods from the other a firm may find it economically viable to shift production (like Apple) to another country with costs lower than tax paid to customs. That will force US f

Edison was ruthless about patents and their reach. There are many stories of him sending men to confiscate camera and film from early directors/film makers arguing he owned the content they created with "his" technology. He a

I wonder how that might work in combo with PiHole or similar on my network. Like, if they are replacing ads are those ads then blocked anyway or slip streamed through?

I've had USB C phones for almost 4 years now. Most micro USB cables have swapped to C with a few C to micro adapters around (1/2" dongles on a key ring). At work we just purchased USB C based drives for imaging/deploymen

Make a binding non-decision that favors the status quo? That sounds in line traditional conservative goals of preserving the status quo while doing the bare minimum to govern a la small government.

I think such a commission is good. Any effort that better demonstrates the will of the voters like registration drives, mail-in options, etc is worth considering given other costs are adequate. As far as I've seen the CA commission is

That is what I had meant but not how my wording ended up. Verify the contact info from the vendor/firm's site itself if possible.

I'm wondering, if the majority came to the conclusion that it's another branches' (or the states') problem to address, why did the court take on this case other than to state #1 "It's not our branches problem.&

The article mentions it is a VPS server owned by a company operating out of Iran. But maybe like me they turn on a VPN and are now operating out of "China" or "Turkey" or, gasp, "San Francisco". I think SF woul

I think a process like with unwarranted phone calls is in order. Take the name and contact info provided but Google for the information yourself and contact the official site/email/phone number for information.

There is a component to terribly written phishing emails where the poor spelling and grammar becomes a filter for people who won't fall for it. People who will fall for either won't care or aren't paying attention anyway.

Cost should play a role but I don't think it should ever cross your mind or need to be a decision you have to make. In your anecdotal situation let's say you fell and broke your arm and are now sitting in the back of the ambulance

Maybe they need a competitor that primarily offers full registration and partner insurance for gear creating a national registry for proof of ownership and history. This would be amazing for bikes too (there are state registries that overla

Which wouldn't be a terrible idea. Insurance is just another way to crowdsource money for stable/safe investments where the front is peace of mind. One could probably operate under a pure risk assessment model but why not put the

So they have one of the following: 1. Certification of renters insurance with the renters information, which if fake is fraud. 2. A waiver of some kind covering damage to the item, probably out of pocket I-accept-all-risk type signed by the

Probably. My auto insurance means nothing if I rent my car to someone, or so it was explained to me. Loan to a friend, covered. Loan to friend for cash, no.

This may make pricing more transparent but it isn't going to help anyone unless action comes from regulation or something. Martha may check which local hospital has the best pricing for an anticipated upcoming medical need but in the m

That's on the monitor, whatever process it is using to scan for input, warm up, or other needs. Buying a cheap offbrand monitor or something low end has drawbacks.

I think the author's dilemma is the data is proprietary and won't be open or released unless it benefits the funds position. Fund managers will act on their information to profit before the market reacts or release the data after

I haven't seen a lot for Zen2 based Threadripper news since the end of May so maybe I missed how they are doing those chips like via the same 8 core chiplets as Zen2 or something larger. If their yields are really really good, maybe th

I wonder why Wine doesn't have those libraries on standby. I can understand keeping installer/total install size and footprint down for any application but especially emulation which is already complex and going to push hardware.

If plans for diversifying supply and finding alternative markets for goods impacted by retaliatory tariffs had happened first, much of the short term impact of what are basically import taxes passed to consumers could be assuaged or limited
