Note it's not that number, but roughly the square root of that number, that matters. And they might be quite non-uniform. If the scheduler tick and the nanosecond clock are synchronous, you could end up with a few thousand popular val

We're not talking about nanoseconds of real time; we're talking about nanoseconds as measured by the CPU doing the processing. Nanoseconds are not likely to be a uniform variate.

It's mentioned in the RFC as being explicitly monotonic based the time-based design. Implementations that need monotonicity beyond the resolution of a timestamp-- like when you allocate 30 UUIDs at one instant in a batch-- can optional

Unfortunately, security screening already pays disproportional attention to the disabled. E.g., we are talking about this in a thread about metal detectors, which will flag on most of these people.

> There is no possible way to detect that visually. Well, let's not go that far. Security personnel definitely detect people carrying weapons by gait and the way their clothing hangs. Certainly computers could help do the same.

Note that I said lower false positives and equal or slightly better false negatives, which aligns with what you say customers want. Of course I suspect venues really don't care about false negative rates much at all, so there's a

I don't know anything about the devices that are being sold, but it doesn't seem impossible to me that with better signal processing from a metal detector, you could reduce false positives a bit while maintaining or slightly impro

Ukraine is modifying a large variety of smaller aircraft to be suicide drones. Yes, A-22s/A-33s are used which cruise at like 100-120MPH or so (though there's been some talk of turboprop conversions of the same, too). But other

A regional jet on approach and a prop aircraft in cruise don't necessarily look that different in ground speeds, altitudes, or even radar cross section to most radars.

I'm not in favor of a full-on precautionary principle for everything. But if you take on too many 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10000 risks, eventually things go badly. Russian roulette or reckless driving looks safe-- for awhile. Note the person

Presumably that's gotten a lot harder/less likely given that we've had billions of years since and life fills a lot more niches. But that's not really something to bet civilization on without a bit more evidence.

Lots of users of engineering notation do this.. 1M5 = 1,500,000, 22k1 = 22,100, etc. The unit takes the place of the decimal point. A missing dot doesn't change the meaning.
