Why not? That's how we handled baggage fees after the 2008 recession. And the TSA and PATRIOT act after 9/11. And the Selective Service after World War II. And federal electrical production and the minimum wage after the Great

The incentives are not aligned with the class action members: sweetening the pot to get HP to accept the settlement means the lawyers can move on to another case, instead of this one dragging out.

This change: https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/ means that Alma is no longer covered by STIGs and other RHEL-specific certifications. Rocky is usually permitted to piggyback on such things. This has

Alma is no longer binary-compatible with RHEL. Nothing wrong with that decision, but that makes it "RHEL like" and not "RHEL compatible."

Some very important hardware vendors don't either. Can't use GPUDirect Storage with Mellanox OFED on Centos Stream. Works fine under Rocky.

Carriers use emergency services regulations to assert that unapproved devices should not be permitted to place or receive calls. The carriers claim they'd be liable if someone should dial 911 and the device doesn't function well

I do not have the time or the inclination to perform a comprehensive literature review for the benefit of a web forum. The body of work in this area is massive, well understood, and public. You can replicate results in any university micr

Yes, if the DNA target is present, it will be replicated. If it is not, it will not. The point is to see whether that happens (positive result) or not (negative result). If, after PCR, there is a shitload of viral DNA in your assay, you

For a diagnostic application, the cycle count doesn't really matter. Either the DNA your primers are targeting is present or it is not. That's why they talk about a "positive" or "negative" PCR test -- the pr

This satire seems misplaced, since the drugs are not coming from a government and are not free. Perhaps a better satirical article would result from actually understanding the topic under consideration.

Your AI hallucinated. It probably confused the KOSA in question (Kids Online Safety Act) with a local children's soccer league called "KOSA 14/15" ( https://www.redrosearena.com/team/102420 ). You&#

The PACT act increased the number of veterans eligible for VA health care by hundreds of thousands. Additionally, I question whether attacking the VA's budget, which in its entirety is less than four percent of government spending, is

backup MX systems are useful, but the above faq is ... naive. it's fairly simple to deploy a backup mx that does not accept mail unless the higher-priority mxes fail a health check.

Absolutely buy a sports car, regardless of age, if that's something you're into. It won't fix anything structurally wrong with your life but you're definitely allowed to have fun.

My point is that slashing the budget will not result in meaningful management changes, just a reduction in services. "Reporting to NASA" and "being part of NASA" are two different situations. AURA, which runs STScI and

NASA does not directly operate JWST anyway (AURA does that via STScI), but the idea that NASA is bloated and Northrop/Ball/L3Harris are not is hilarious. If you know of people getting paid to 'sit on their hands' at NAS
