If it's almost exactly 2000 ms, it sounds like a retransmission timer, i.e. packet loss.

The only plausible explanation I've heard (other than Putin is just mentally ill), is that Putin has gotten high on his own supply of propaganda. He truly believes that Ukraine is being run by Nazis, and the US/West are building u

Having used a lot of Samsung software, I have to wonder if the root cause here is a language barrier. Their software frequently has translation errors, and their kernels are compiled on a computer in Korean Standard Time. For a lot of open

How many times have the Rays had a better record than the Yankees in the past decade? It's not all about the payroll any more. It's about who actually wants a good team and is willing to hire the right people . The small market e

If you don't think the conservative side doesn't have the same or more behind it, I really don't know what to tell you at this point. Who's funding the federalist? Who's funding FedSoc? They're just not as publ

USB is orders of magnitude more reliable, so I'd really have to go with bt. Granted, it's job is much harder but still.

Ah shoot, you're right, I totally forgot. It does make me wonder what the NGA does with a ~5 billion dollar budget then, in my head most it was allocated to new sats. Other than buy approximately 10 3080s I mean ;)

I'd be perfectly fine with that. My ideal scenario would essentially be a national ID that's also a smart card with u2f/federation. I realize there's a ton of details with accessibility but like, we have the technology.

The TreasuryDirect site makes me want to give the authority to the USDS/18F to proactively come in and say we're taking over your public facing website infrastructure to any executive branch agency. There's no excuse for some

And yet, everyone suffers because of it. We have endless SSN breaches because at the end of the day, having a unique ID for people is really valuable! We could have something way safer, but we get stuck with the status quo which satisfies n

But that's the point. Society has made raising kids extremely expensive. Society needs to fix itself if it wants to continue growing. And it's really not even that hard. We know what the issues are. It's entirely a political

Probably, but the actual hardware would need to cover the entire phone, which I think would be the issue. Not sure if that'd have battery life implications as well.

One thing I miss from my Samsung phones (I've moved to pixel which only has touch): Having the choice of both! Sometimes FaceID is better, and sometimes (or a lot given the past 2 years) TouchID is better. We have the technology. They&

This is part of the issue though: Writing things in C correctly takes more time than in rust (once you get past the initial learning curve) Writing things in C that appear to work may take less time. I think we can be reasonably sure th

That's an interesting point. Thinking about the timing, how much of the 5G push is due to LTE patents getting ready to expire?

This does prevent doing some cool stuff, but I have a rule that everything still has to work without HA. Obviously automation won't, but at the end of the day, the light switches are still light switches. The sensors will simply just n

Assuming a fixed number of platters, shouldn't (physically) sequential read and write speeds go up as capacities go up? The physical size is fixed, as is the rotation speed, so given the density increase, more data should be moving pas

Ah interesting, I assumed they were just a newer version of the wheel nut markers. The actual explanation makes more sense.

As one of the only f2p games in the mid 2000s, I spent a TON of time playing AA. It was pretty good! I'm kind of torn about it as a recruitment tool. I have an inherent aversion to the armed forces in general, and recruiting propaganda

To get any sort of reasonable performance you need paravirtualized devices, at least on x86.

It prevents google execs from burying P0 reports to other teams at Google though, which seems like the bigger risk?

Could you expand more on why? At least to me, it seems like there's no downside to publicly tracking responses from Google itself. Ideally P0 should operate mostly independently. Agreed that there should be more P0 like efforts from

Yes exactly. I didn't go to an Ivy League, but it was still pretty good. The 100 level big classes were waaaaay harder than classes for the actual major. Lots of dumb problem sets that were huge just to be huge. Lots of time writing la

>Pay more than the Chief Justice of the Canadian Supreme Court? Yes. Why not? One is a job in a market, with no "external" validation to make up for the lack of pay. The other is one of the most elite legal jobs in the world.

It's somewhat the opposite in fact (not exactly low status, but not on the forefront of a cool job either). It's the wordcel vs shape rotater meme/discourse.
