There is no compelling reason for most people to use a VPN at home. If you live in a repressive regime that doesn't allow you access to parts of the internet, perhaps you would want to use one. If you're using hotel / coffee

One of them leaked it to the press. So no.

I wish I could have as well. Unfortunately she died a couple of years before I joined the Navy. My rate (DS) was heavily influenced by the things she did.

Commodore is (now) a title, not a rank. It was not always that way. Commodore can refer to a Rear Admiral (Lower Half), which was Grace Hopper's rank (IIRC it was awarded long after her retirement). Commodore can also refer to a grou

No, I didn't "imply people should have known about the throttling", I said that pretending people didn't know a bad battery would cause the phone to perform badly was silly. The exact nature of that bad performance isn&#

The amount of overhead they’re allowed to charge the government is also closely regulated. You can’t charge 440k of overhead for 60k of hours. And that’s the point, it’s why you don’t see people getting paid 500k a year to work for the gove

Actually I didn't phrase that right. Anything else they want to pay the engineer they have to pay for out of pocket -- they can't charge the government for it.

by jki275 7y ago
Overhead comes out of company budget. The company has to make it up. They can't charge 500k for the job, they can charge whatever the DCAA approved labor rate for the engineer is per hour. Anything else they want to charge the gov f

Can’t hire a contractor at that rate either. DCAA controls that very closely. If a defense contractor wants to pay someone that kind of money they generally have to pay the difference between what dcaa allows and that price out of their own

No, I'm not "moving the goalposts". The accusation is that Apple downclocked the phone in order to degrade the phone's performance and make people buy new phones. In fact, Apple downclocked the phones so that already deg

I get what he's asserting, I just think he's wrong.

You've got it correct -- that is Japanese culture. Perhaps there are exceptions, it wouldn't surprise me if they exist -- but the norm is what you wrote.

by jki275 7y ago
Are you sure about that? I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that your battery going bad would degrade performance and it was time to get a new battery.

by jki275 7y ago
Are you suggesting it wasn’t known that battery replacements were available for iPhones? I know I personally replaced several batteries over the years in iPhones, I don’t think that was a big secret. There were shops you could drop your ph

I don't work for the Captain. I've been retired for several years. He's not my superior and his rank doesn't matter. He made it a news item, and I'll second guess whatever I want to. The Captain sent the letter t

I don't really care what HASC has to say about anything. They're a bunch of political hacks. From their own letter: "While Captain Crozier clearly went outside the chain of command, " -- they don't even understand
917.
by jki275 7y ago
Yes. He sent it to at least 20 people outside his chain of command. That's what you do if you want to make sure something gets leaked. There are formal and proper reporting channels for things like this. He went outside them, on pur

He may not have actually leaked the memo -- but he made sure it got leaked. SECNAV's call was the correct one.
919.
by jki275 7y ago
He did fall on his sword, sort of. The problem is that letter shouldn't have been made public. He sent it to enough people to make sure it was made public, and that's why he got fired.

Well, "the economy in the abstract sense" is the thing that is employing people. Claiming that those people would still definitely be employed in a different economy is simply saying it would be the same economy. And the claim
921.
by jki275 7y ago
I think it actually does, otherwise those people wouldn't be employed at all. And I'm curious, you say it should contribute only to "most individuals" -- which ones, specifically, in your framework, should be excluded?
922.
by jki275 7y ago
Do you think the ideals you argue for exist without an economy?
923.
by jki275 7y ago
That's a fair point. I use either a ssh config file with all the correct options in it, or the -p option if I'm doing it without a config file, perhaps that's why I've never had a problem.

The vietnam era missiles were really bad missiles with a really bad pk. Lack of a cannon wasn't the problem, and adding one wasn't the solution. Fixing crappy missile technology was the solution. I don't think there's

I don't think it does anymore. You have to activate the screen and slide left to get the camera. The volume buttons still work for the shutter though, which I use all the time.

Not everyone carries a phone, let alone a smartphone. Not everyone wants to. Geotagging pictures is a very important use case for a professional photographer, and relying on the user to provide GPS through another device is not advisable. A

Customers often don't have much choice. Most people don't make car buying decisions based on the head unit.

I'm using ssh to a named server online using a port >8192 from a 10.15.4 machine right now. Have had no issues with it at all.

Not really. They mostly use proctortrack these days, along with algorithmic analysis of the answers.

All depends on the course of study and the people you're in it with and your own motivations. I've done both for a very long time. There used to be value in going to the computer lab and spending hours and hours working through p
