I'm not sure you can target oceanic CO2 over CO2 in the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is an equilibrium process driven by the partial pressure of CO2 in the atmosphere increasing. If you start reversing acidification, the ocean is ju

Disclosure requirements for contributions to federal campaigns are similar. Most states have voter rolls which are covered by open record laws, will release personal information on all registered voters. Address included. I'm not sure

It would take some serious "skill" to plug in a PCI device and not have it grounded. There are at least a half dozen ground pins in the interface itself. I don't see what tying the GPU to ground again is meant to accomplish -

For the same reason you'd shred sensitive documents instead of just throwing them out. If you're a government agency giving advice on discarding potentially scheduled pharmaceuticals, advising people to flush them is an easy way t

Ahhh, thank you. I knew there had to be some standard behind their preferred number use - just didn't know what it might be. The number of Ikea things that you can mash together and have work is awesome.

It may qualify as an "odd filler hop" as you call it, but I was really surprised to board an A380 for a short Chennai to Sri Lanka flight last year. (The half-dozen other Indian flights were all 737/A320s)

You have a point. I think "not organic" in this context is shorthand for "not allowed in organic agriculture." Scanning the reg, the USDA's list is titled "Prohibited Natural Substances."

That's probably insufficient for the usecase. A single AS can advertise many different routes for different IP blocks that have dramatic geographic differences.

Overbuilt and overengineered are two different things. Overbuild a car and you have mass in all the wrong places. Do it right, and you get passenger protection and crumple zones. The problems with over engineering are probably more subtle -

Because NAT is an abominable hack with significant technical and administrative overhead. My home is not intended to be a public space. But, it has a unique address, just like any other bar or restaurant in the area. Being able to locate it

I think the most productive way to look at it that for NAT/NAPT/cone NAT to work, a necessary prerequisite is a default-deny inbound firewall policy and stateful connection tracking. Once you have that, layering on NAT is possible

It's hardcoded to be broken in too many devices. NANOG has long and winding threads about reclaiming the class E space - there was consensus that it wasn't possible to get enough devices unbroken for the space to actually be usabl

We haven't always had CIDR. Saying that not carving a single /24 out of a class A network is bad UX when variable length netmasks weren't even in use yet is a fundamentally silly misreading of history.

Is Tesla not big enough to negotiate off-peak discounts? Do US carriers not support that type of thing? It's such an obvious solution I can't believe they don't do it. When I visited Sri Lanka, $8 at the airport got me a SIM

What you describe matches my understanding perfectly. Even if you leave finance charges out of it and are discussing debit cards - the interchange revenue is way more than enough to cover fraud liabilities. Throw in account fees, and you&#x

by oasisbob 9y ago
Yup, that's essentially how the system works. One reason that can work in the US is because there is so much money slopping around in the system from high interchange/network fees. An issuing financial institution may bear most of

Works fine in Safari here. Wondering if your request is being intercepted by one of the many network devices out there which hijacks 1.1.1.1 for its own use.

That's a strange way of looking at it. ISPs take all sorts of actions to both increase performance to customers, and to reduce their costs. A competent ISP operating in good faith will execute and expand peering agreements when it make

The article credits three journalists in the byline, with four other individuals credited as contributors. Given that this was published a day after the SF Chronicle piece, I think there's a good chance the article has deeper sourcing

Sure, crypto-shredding seems like a great approach for some things. But in many cases the whole reason systems use these structures in the first place is so that there's transparency and public verifiability.

Are your banking sites smaller? (Eg, credit union) One core financial stack I know of stores home banking passwords unencrypted. They transcode ASCII -> EBCDIC to obscure the password and call it a day.

Is this restriction more common in certain countries? In the US, I've fortunately never seen paste blocked on a login page. Wondering why.

This gets close to something else I've been pondering lately - how to deal with immutable data structures in the realm of GDPR. Recitations in GDPR require systems to be designed with privacy in mind. Immutable structures like the Bitc

I was really pleasantly surprised with LAStools. It's mostly closed source, Windows only, and the free version is subtly crippled - but it works really well. Getting it running under Wine was dead-simple. There's a significant com
