It was a Nissan Patrol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Patrol A lot of the mods used to increase power considerably also decrease the MTBF of many components within vehicles.

Wrong. How many are from these 7 countries and do not have a green card? Now how many have been killed in Libya, Syria, or Iraq?

Wrong. It's entirely irrational to give this level of attention and resource to an issue with such relatively little impact, particularly when noting the contributing events that led up to this issue were largely ignored (and directed

Because it's virtue signalling. Nevermind that Chicago had more murders in 2016 than New York and Los Angeles combined, or that there's a rampant opiate epidemic across wide swaths of the country - this is a cause with visibility

Sorry, but it's Clos, which is named after Charles Clos. Pronounced "Cloh". This only bugs me because I've seen this done so many times - specific domain knowledge nerd rant over.

Well thought and explained. The sausage making of a (particularly dramatic) presidential transition is on display.

He was originally. The context is that Martin and him ultimately had a reasonable conversation, despite the guy being initially furious about Martin's perceived role in increasing drug prices.

Good question, and you're correct - it's a double standard. However, I have no clue as to why Chelsea Manning is perceived to deserve clemency more than Snowden.

Seeing this as well. The most ironic of my observations was that the most liberal of my friends would support the release of Chelsea Manning, but insisted on prosecuting Snowden.

Use Amazon Prime, but they'll need to deliver a bigger catalog and better recommendation feature for me to try Prime Music. I have hundreds of songs saved in Spotify playlists, love the selection, as well as the recommendation feature

Wow. The title is click-baity, but the article does make me empathize with the mother's position. I remember being a young kid in school and seeing the few students that just seemed so mentally imbalanced that they couldn't even

That explains a lot. Curious what happened - did the business model break to the extent that seasoned journalists that can manage foreign assignments are no longer on payroll or sought after? Is this a consequence of cost-cutting at news

When things like this are used as a pretext to sanction other countries, I will assume nothing and expect data. The bogus weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was enough to convince me that "just trust us" isn't sufficient da

Then why did the report attribute any of this to Russia without substantiating those claims? It's one thing to detail mitigations, it's another to call out Russia as the perpetrator without adding contextual value - the majority

Bad for everyone else, and it's up to the implementation to handle flow-control. Congestion-control handles network related loss/latency/load. Flow-control helps with receiver related loss/latency/load.

Observed this recently with a bug in Cisco's VSS. Some packets were being duplicated, which destroyed TCP throughput.

Also really enjoyed that book. The stories about the treatment of third country nationals (essentially contractors from countries like the Philippines and India working on US bases) were surprising and saddening.

I suspect something similar to this will come to pass, as well. The cloud is appealing for a number of reasons. The two biggest seem to be it takes care of the infrastructure and some of the stack. When and if those become trivial accompl

When you're so broke that an extra couple of dollars will put you in overdraft territory, it's not reasonable. At least they inform you in most hotels. I have not used Lyft - I would hope they do the same.

I'd rather he uphold the constitution rather than some implicit "security professional agreement".

What ideology am I putting above facts? Where did I say I wanted the sea level to rise?
