You've got me thinking about multiplying two imperfect oscillators together.

IIRC the thrusters are also used for station-keeping since practical Lagrange orbits are unstable.

I think that if you follow the recommendation to disable password-based authentication, then fail2ban is downgraded from a near-requirement to a defense-in-depth tactic. It's not nearly as important to restrict the number of retries if

Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite. The Mach number has two velocities that cancel out, and velocity tends to be an easy concept to grasp, making it a textbook example of a dimensionless number. The part where Mach numbers are convert

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, but consider it noted - I'll take a look at some more up to date statistics soon.

Yes, and...? It seems worth clarifying. I am concerned that you are perceiving my comments as being fastidious or conspiratorial in attitude, that is definitely not my intention and I apologize if it sounded rude, I am just concerned with t

>Citadel is a big company, but it's not that big Nice try, but Citadel is the largest market maker and if it were an exchange (ostensibly, it might as well be one!) then it would be almost as large as the CBOE! Source: Image from Qu

I maintain that collateral is very liquid as it increases and decreases every single day and is a product of risk and volume. Collateral has two "outs" where one is simply reducing risk or waiting for risk to go away, and the othe

The implication here is that there were not any "extenuating circumstances," and by that I mean that the circumstances were artificial and were the result of a direct action made by Robinhood as a result of their own poor business

"This theory" is the theory that "Robinhood runs a casino dressed up as a brokerage, and packaged their offering as if settlement was instantaneous, rather than an efficient fiction built out of loans extended to everyone inv

The article quotes a third party source who claims "According to the source close to the NSCC, the lower amount came about because of Robinhood’s decision to limit trading in GameStop and other meme shares." but then the article g

There are actually supporting claims for this theory from investors on Reddit who transferred "meme stocks" out of Robinhood and noticed wildly incorrect cost basis reports on fractional shares, with some screenshots showing value

What evidence do you have that the NSCC waiver was conditional on a voluntary trade halt? I haven't been able to find the article that you mentioned

Robinhood was able to raise 1 billion dollars in capital within a very short time frame to cover any later requirements. It might be a stretch to say that it was easy, but since it is being used for collateral (very liquid), they would hypo

What countervailing evidence would that be? Do you have any links which explain what you mean?

That's untrue. The DTCC waived the additional capital clearing charges for all clearing members prior to market open on January 28th. All DTCC clearing members satisfied their requirements before the market opened. EDIT: Updated with s

True, and HTML5 video tends to "just work," however I've found that many people have practical issues with hosting their own video. For example, not understanding video conversion, hosting behind bandwidth or request rate lim

Very amusing but I take issue with the article's claim that "Here’s (yet another) argument against using third-party embeds" - this might be an oversimpified perspective when it's actually a good argument to use subresou

Modern computing is in need of the "Secure Attention Key" concept. A dedicated user input which deliberately has no other function than to escape any kind of virtualization or input capture, and ensure that subsequent communicatio

What's the point of an automatic shutter? It seems like security theater, unless the goal is to protect the camera lens from dirt and scratches.

Something that comes up every time I hear a discussion about this: Just cracking your knuckles is different from actually overextending your knuckles. The latter is definitely harmful.

Perhaps a fake USB device that issues power or sleep button requests could work. I had limited success with this on Linux using an HID keyboard emulator. However this won't work on a machine that's too far gone to respond to USB,

I'd be more concerned with the fact that the increased quantity and precision of the antennas allows collection of extremely fine-grained location information.

The SoC used in the Pi 3 does not have an Ethernet MAC. It's always provided via USB. The CM3 does not have a USB Ethernet device onboard, it's provided by the carrier board.
