Unlocking phones does not free the individual of contractual obligations...
Yes, there's room for abuse in the system.. and perhaps prepaid phones won't be as well subsidized.. but people getting contracts typically take a credit hit or require a hefty security deposit to offset the risk.
In this case, the developer sold the user account & repository for money (no ownership change to monitor).. so if you were not privy to that transaction, you really couldn't "easily" avoid this without e.g. forking every repo you depend on and bringing it in house or some other likely painful defense mechanism to implement
That’s why businesses pay Redhat, Qt, Unity,… Clear contracts that reduces the risk of compromised dependencies. Or you vet your dependencies (it helps when you don’t have a lot)
Wouldn't help in this case, the post author banned the bot in the robots for, but then when asked the bot to fetch his web page explicitly by URL...
If a user has a bot directly acting on their behalf (not for training), I think that's fair use... And important to think twice before we block that, since it will be used for accessibility.
If starlink thinks it may have 40,000 satellites at full capacity[1] .. and we expect at least 1 if not 2 competitors..
With a 5-year lifespan for an LEO sat, that's potentially 120,000 deorbits every 5 years...
That will add up quickly... I don't know the science of aluminum oxide increase to ozone depletion.. but this can certainly warrants more research and consideration
The satellites are typically much smaller than historic satellites. I think ~50-60 are launched in a fairing that would house 1 or two older-style satellite.
Starlink satellites have gotten big. The V2 Mini they are launching now is 1600 lb, and they fit only 20 some on Falcon 9. The V2 for Starship will be 2700 lbs.
All of those starlinks are designed to burn up though. And there will be many thousands more of them then there ever was of those older larger satellites.
Why would the number of satellites be pertinent here? It’s a mass problem, and starlink satellites are tiny compared to most of the satellites that are up there.
Im guessing it would make sense to release more pro ozone catalyst. It may even be an option to release more it from the ground, as an inverse to CFCs.
NOx is also has a global cooling effect, taking the edge off climate change.
NOx and VOCs from power plants and diesel vehicles produce ozone.
NCTUE was new to me... I love that they're apparently gathering all this data to sell, but if you don't want your data to be sold, you have to snail mail them or call them...
Agreed. The demo highlights "extra" AWS code for authz + authn, but doesn't explain how f0 doesn't need it... Does the server need to set an ENV? You could argue that's no different then one AWS auth method.
This looks like an interesting product, but it's missing some key technical details to woo engineers -- both how it's done and how reliable the CDN+service is.
I certainly agree speeding is not the sole cause of accidents...
But your conclusion is not supported by this -- if anything it encourages towards a similar result through technology...
Less people can speed.. less police officers would be needed to police 'just' speeding, those police officers would not be able to collect money for their local municipality.. and would be assigned alternative duties, or focus on wreckless driving (which could still generate money)
Texas went through that conclusion as well starting about 15 years ago. If speeding must continue to be heavily enforced and officers are needed elsewhere then just use technology to automate that enforcement. This was incredibly unpopular and such technology was removed through various forms of democratic and legal processes at great expense to various municipalities. This was the final nail in the coffin that killed heavy enforcement of speed and traffic light violations. Instead speed and traffic light violations are used as evidence in determinations once accidents do occur.
During this same time period Texas has become drunkenly addicted to traffic circles. Supposedly these simultaneously ease congestion and reduce accidents. These are also generally unpopular, but not so much so to warrant large law suits or rush to the voting ballots.
The article mentions hydration (a process to reduce the penalty of first access of a data block). This is done by essentially reading the entire EBS volume with the tool like fio or dd. The time it takes to complete this process is relative to the amount of dirty blocks. Therefore, it will take twice as long to hydrate 20 GB of data compared to 10 GB.
The article talks about fio to warm the drive... That's basically fast snapshot restore[0]. This reduces the "first access" penalty for "dirty" blocks. This is probably the slowest part of the entire article (it's about 10 seconds per dirty GB to fio the disk).
The political leadership generally can't fire civil servants for that reason. When Trump was in office, he complained about it a lot, and key part of Project 2025's policy plans are to get the rules on that changed: https://www.project2025.org/.
