No, they require it to be centrally monitored, not user monitored. I just went through the process with 5 different insurance carriers for a new home.

There's election year vaccine precedent: Gerald Ford in 1976 with an "upcoming" swine flu. It's one of the reasons that Jimmy Carter defeated Ford. Sadly, the vaccine was rushed and botched. Some people ended up with Gui

Indeed. With a US presidential election in November, any vaccine delivered in October and touted by the current administration will be met with extreme skepticism, even by those who routinely take vaccines. Remember hydrochloroquine?

In aggregate, possibly. It's highly location and feature specific. Does your condo have an exclusive-use backyard or deed patio area? That price is jumping by huge amounts right now in SF. Is it in a high-rise only served by elevators,

Using autopens worked out well for Laszlo in the Frito Lay giveaway (Real Genius). Enter as many times as you like,no purchase necessary.

I have that same question, "Why and who does this benefit?" It seems like everything runs in the cloud these days and is fronted by huge CDN's. The performance on 80%+ of websites should be really fast already due to local pr

Europe tech has always been different than US tech scene. The societies are very different. Here, the armed protesters demand haircuts and tattoos. In Europe, the French are flooding Spanish border towns in search of cheaper booze and smoke

Three of them were just flat out dead. Old firmware would work with a 220GE that I had. It did work on a 4th. Three of four were straight broken. That's bad product.

The single session thing is annoying. I'm guessing it is related to their various data provider regulations. The large brokers can get around this because, well, you are not really seeing pool depth and the like.

Peterffy is a long time industry vet. He brought a lot of tech to trading in the 80's. He knows very well how things work.

I doubt that Facebook tries to hire Hack devs off the street. No one uses Hack except FB. They hire PHP developers and teach them Hack in boot camps. The point being, you can hire good php devs.

I'm saying the AMD chipsets are bad, the mobo manufacturers don't really do anything different from each other these days, and they're hiding behind the very few parts that they qualify for their boards. If the RAM comes from

Nice victim blaming. The problem is the chipsets, not the retailer.

by scurvy 6y ago
I understand what you're saying about the P4 boards and that largely echos what I'm saying. The vendor chipsets are bad, AMD's are worse than Intel's, and there's not much a mobo vendor can do. Intel boards do need

To some degree, yes. However, that assumes a functioning BIOS release is available and works...many incremental releases are no functioning despite release notes saying otherwise. Many times, you can't downgrade the BIOS either. So you

Mobo makers are hiding behind their QVL rather than making a functioning product. "Sorry, we only tested this version of Crucial memory, not that version." Never mind the fact that they use the same in-house Crucial stuff undernea

3 boards via Amazon, 1 via NewEgg. The NewEgg one works. What's a physical retailer? San Francisco is the supposed capital of the tech world. It only has a single computer store (Central). It's not even open right now. I guess you

Bought 1 board, returned twice. Third worked. I also bought an Asus which had similar non-POST'ing issues (slightly different). I tried an Athlon 220GE in each one, too. It's not just a Ryzen 3000 problem being too new and requiri

QC could definitely be an issue. If you built yours last year, it was probably with a 2000-series Ryzen? Those were easier to work with given the gear at the time. The 3000-series and x470's are definitely a problem. Here's a clip

>First gen Ryzen (1000 series chips) had some memory compatibility issues, but 2000 and 3000 chips haven't had many issues. It's true that you needed to do a BIOS upgrade on x470/B450 boards when 3000 series chips were rel

The AMD Ryzen platform holds so much promise. There's just one problem: all of their consumer chipset motherboards are terrible. Really, really flakey and bad. If you're used to slapping in name-brand memory to a board and booting

That's what the strategic petroleum reserve in Louisiana is. They filled massive salt domes with crude oil. The salt keeps away bacteria that can foul the oil.

There were still mechanical failures all over in safety devices. We're drilling much deeper than under higher pressures now than Deepwater Horizon. To imply that deepwater oil production is safe, is crazy. Storms happen. Mudslides (und

Did you read the part where I wrote, "there's no place to put the stuff?" I also specifically said "front month contract". June oil is barely over $20 today and will probably drop under that mark by week's end.

by scurvy 6y ago
That might have been true 20-30 years ago. Today, all of the easy oil has been tapped. They're going out farther, deeper, and under much high pressures than before. Oh, and they're less regulated. > You don't drill a $100

Considering that the front-month oil contracts went negative today (paid to buy a barrel of oil), I think more (well funded and adept) players will try to hastily arrange more storage facilities. There's just no place to put the stuff

I'll follow up my own post with anecdata rather than edit. My father was pretty good at giving differential diagnoses. He always said, "everyone lives, you just need to figure out what they're hiding and not focus on the why.
