I haven't been to the blue hole, but I can easily see nonchalant guides leading people to ignore any misgivings they had from what little training they may have had years ago.

More likely that the target depth is down near 50m, which is well into the narcosis range for surface gas mixes. Particularly for inexperienced divers it is very easy to not realize what is happening and become too stupid to save yourself.

The keys to wild success are getting in early and being lucky. I'm entirely sure a lot of the early people at Amazon were in fact quite bright and hard working, and many good decisions were made, but plenty of other people knew selling

If we can demonstrate to the beavers that BGP blocks running water, they may train themselves.

Discussions about naming schemes make me think of the old joke "until I got married, I had no idea there was a wrong way to boil water" or other variations of banal tasks :) Perhaps there is an answer lurking out there in the univ

It's not, that's nonsense or a gross misunderstanding. In any case making gun barrels has been doable with fairly simple metal working tools long before 3d printing - particularly if you're not hung up on reproducible quality

Quic has been around long enough that I suspect it's simply a common policy for both tcp and udp on 443. If you just want to charge for access, rate limiting is easier and there is almost never any local person involved in managing it.

Been doing wireguard over udp 443 for a long time. Works pretty consistently. Probably take a few years for the low-effort network blocks to figure out how to deal with that.

A better law that more precisely addresses the various situations instead of depending on the verbiage chosen by the long dead.

It's anything but the largest projects really. Even mainstream linux support for a lot of laptops is still iffy. Too much work for too few people and fewer willing to pay to make it happen. It will be interesting to see if further ARM

Unless you need multiple concurrent writers or some kind of RBAC it's going to be really hard for anything to beat the KP database just because it already takes into things like that into account, along with optional entry history, arb

I mean my laptop from 2014 had 32g (and like another 4g on the graphics processor) so that's not exactly outrageous for anyone doing serious work. My laptop from 2019 also had 32g and was less than 2000 usd. Obviously most people don&#

The geometry calculations across matrices for 3-dimensional euclidean objects are both relatively easy to do directly in hardware and repeated in only slightly varying ways for the various rendering stages. Given the increasing sizes of fra

UPNP doesn't "punch holes in NAT." It is dynamically configuring NAT to provide a specific translation. The same kind of dynamic translation happens the other way for any allowed outgoing traffic, and lots of old NAT traversa

This sort of thinking is endemic in industrial networks; they finally internalized basic ipv4 concepts in the late 00s and never considered maybe the stateful tracking required for UPNP and other NAT tricks also might exist without it. I&#x

In the very long term converting excess generation into methane is almost sure to happen provided that can get accurately carbon priced versus ground extracted gas. It's not even just seasonal capacity shifting, any situation that weig

It's not even really a question of attention so much as maintenance. Fixed up front costs are easy to handle as capital that can go into their rate cases, but more so power equipment lifetime is measured in decades and the discharge li

It's not cynicism, it's understanding capacity factors and how difficult large scale storage is. If solar panels have a capacity factor of around .25, which is what we're seeing in real installations worldwide, then it is nec

There are USB drives that do vaguely similar things but it's all in software. It's difficult to do that unless the filesystem has append only functionality, metadata blocks are rewritten all the time even if data isn't. For a

This is primarily why I use Brave, particularly on phones. I've had some form of ublock and js whitelisting since 2002 or so and don't even recognize most sites without them. I assume a lot of the potential "early adopters&qu

Bullshitting is manipulative storytelling. Some of what a bullshitter says is true. Some of it they even believe is true. Some of it they desperately want to be true. What's outright false they would say is unimportant and deflect rath

Had Texas been attached to the eastern interconnect, and remained connected through 25-30 GW of shortfall, yes, rotating blackouts would have been spread across dozens of states. The blackouts in the MISO and SPP areas were not as bad, but

Nobody had a problem with it being "global warming" until the mid 90s when political interests made a culture war point. They would have done so regardless of how accurately the phrase described the phenomenon.

Indeed. I mean, I own Telsa stock, so I'm not unhappy about what it's doing, but I'm not about to invent reasons why it makes sense. Eventually the major manufacturers like Toyota and VW are going to pivot and Tesla is going
