So if we could completely annihilate a mass equivalent to the Moon with an equal mass of antimatter and capture all of the energy with no losses to heat and without ripping the device apart, that would work?
Compressions force the blood flow. If you can keep some blood flow through the brain, almost everything else is survivable/fixable. Compressions are 100% vital. Brain tissue dies real quick without blood flow.
Also if you're doing it right it is fucking exhausting manual labor so switch out every minute if you have another person available. And you will probably break some ribs, that's just how it is.
The shallower your incline is, the more air you have to fight through post-launch to get to orbit, during which you're losing velocity. And to get into low-earth orbit you have to reach 28000 kph (17000 mph) because it's not so much about going up as it is about going really fast.
So you need to leave the end of the gun going fast enough to lose speed to air resistance and still reach and maintain orbit. I haven't attempted the math, but it seems like your vehicle would burst into flame going that speed in the atmosphere.
The inspections are happening in Cyprus before the trucks are shipped to the pier to be unloaded. The trucks unloading at the pier are already past the inspection point.
Therefore not smoke and mirrors because the potential delay you're talking about is already past, and the aid is currently being delivered.
You mean between March and May of 2024? None so far as I can tell, though it's hard to find specific information. HR 8034 passed the House on 20 Apr 2024, if that's what you're referring to, but it hasn't passed the Senate or been signed into law yet, and in any case it is a funds appropriation bill meaning that all it does is earmark some money from the federal budget for the purpose of military aid - no material has been shipped yet based on this bill, nor will be for awhile.
What I love most about this scene is that it represented anarchists fairly decently. Yes they're a bit silly but so is the whole film. However they didn't equate them with random chaos or Anomie....
Well, yes, but the skit is also making fun of the anarchists. When Denis tries to explain their overcomplicated beureacracy, the point is that their commune is functionally broken and incapable of accomplishing anything as a community, which is why they live their lives digging in the mud.

"When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town, and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world."
Start with self-love friends, and then extend that love to the people closest to you.
Political violence comes from the desire to change the world, but caring for yourself and others close to you will bring a more effective and worthwhile change than violence.
The CEO also claims that users' Signal messages have popped up in court cases or in the media, and implies that this has happened because the app's encryption isn't completely secure. However, Durov cites "important people I've spoken to" and doesn't mention any specific instance of this happening.
[...]
The Register could not find public reports of Signal messages leaking due to faulty encryption.
Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Durov's entire criticism seems to be based on implications and have no actual evidence of any technical problems with Signal. He's basically just throwing shade at a competing business, which amounts to whining.

Like it or not, commercial computing is primarily Microsoft environments. Businesses are moving to Azure/O365, but there's still a lot of on-prem AD out there, and a lot of businesses that are stuck in between with some form of hybrid hodge-podge. It's definitely more difficult to do admin tasks for individual Windows endpoints vs. Linux, but on the other hand there is no FOSS equivalent for AD forest management. In a corporate environment, the ability to manage large numbers of endpoints at scale is more important.
If you have to manage Windows systems you should learn about Windows-native tools, rather than trying to drag the Linux-native tools you're used to onto Windows just for the sake of familiarity.
That said, installing (and updating) software on Windows is absolutely a pain compared to the relative simplicity of a Linux package manager and I'm 100% with you on that. I highly recommend chocolatey, which attempts to work as a package manager for Windows. All of the software that you install with chocolatey can be updated with a single command, similar to running updates in a package manager on Linux. If you can implement this on the Windows systems that you have to manage, it will make things easier.
Regulators said Tolstedt and the bank’s former CEO, John Stumpf, bragged to investors about the scale of the community bank’s open accounts, despite the fact that millions of accounts were fabricated by employees trying to meet unrealistic sales goals set by management.
If it were up to me there would be a government office specifically to audit businesses in such cases. When a court deems it necessary, a team of auditors would be attached to a company and have access to all of their financial records, for the express purpose of determining how much of their revenue was gained through the illegal activity. The company would be responsible for paying all of the expenses of the audit team for as long as the audit takes (if the company drags their feet in giving access to records, it costs them).
For the same time period, a government representative would be given a seat on the company executive board and be privy to all board meetings. As long as the company is under audit they are also under operational observation.
At the conclusion of the audit, all revenue determined to proceed from the illegal activity is forfeit, and a fine is issued for each violation.
But whether a few hours or a few days, eventually I start having issues with the displays. Monitors will black out. Not boot. Eventually the whole system just stops working in a way that I can figure out.
This sounds more like a hardware issue than software. Can you provide more detail? Have you done basic troubleshooting steps like trying different power cords and surge protector/power strip? What is the full list of hardware for your system? Have you reseated the RAM? Replaced the CMOS battery? (a dead CMOS battery will prevent system boot)
Huh... and that's repeatable? How long could you go on Linux before the blackouts, and did you run on Windows for a similar amount of time with no issues? also, when the blackout happens does it recover after a little time, or do you have to reboot to get video back? (is it just a screen blackout, or has the system crashed?) When the screen is black, can you reboot with busier backwards?
One issue that I've had on Linux installs is that the system doesn't recover properly from hibernate. I've seen this on laptops and desktops over more than a decade. When this happens the screen goes black and the system doesn't respond to any keyboard or mouse input, the only way to recover is to force a reboot. Maybe check your power management profile and disable hibernation.
Otherwise there are a lot of reasons that the screen might black out:
power issues - what is your PSU model? Linux installs are frequently not as power efficient as Windows on the same hardware, generally because Windows does a lot more throttling by default.
overheating - Windows (and the Windows hardware drivers) might be configured to throttle the CPU and/or GPU to manage the temperature automatically without telling you, while Linux might be giving you the full unthrottled system power and overheating.
video drivers & multimonitor - as others have said already, this could be an issue with the Linux video drivers. You should verify which driver you're using as [email protected] said. Are all your monitors the same resolution? I've definitely had trouble with mulitple monitors if they were mismatched.
bad CPU core - this one's a long shot, but Windows tends to be a lot more single-threaded while Linux is more likely to try to balance operations across all CPU cores. Maybe one of your cores has an issue, and when Linux tries to use it it triggers a system crash, while Windows just never gets around to using that particular core for anything critical (and so never triggers the crash).
SSD/swap file issue - most Linux distros will configure a swap partition on the root hard drive by default, which is used as an extension of the RAM. Windows doesn't use a swap file. You have plenty of RAM so there's not really a need for it, so you should try just disabling swap.

Qubes - an OS that compartmentalizes system functions (including userspace) into separate VMs, with the intent of keeping them secure from each other. Kind of an internal zero-trust approach. Complicated to use.
Alpine Linux - stripped down to create a reduced attack surface, with the intent to provide only packages which have been vetted for security. Fairly straightforward.
Redox OS - a Unix-like OS written in Rust (not actually Linux). Limited, still kind of a prototype.
Damn Small Linux has been revived with a new version recently, which is nice to see.
HoloISO - a community built reimplementation of the Steam Deck OS.
I've heard though of some people spending upwards of like $150. For food?
I certainly have never spent more than $35 ~ $50
Are you talking about one meal, one grocery store trip, or one month of food expenses, or what?
and it's just me.
OK, so you're not trying to provide food for a family, so your perspective and experience is limited.
I don't know why these other people just struggle.
Perhaps their situation is different from your own? Perhaps they have other concerns in their life that are different from your own? Perhaps the cost of living where they are is different from where you are?
I think still that it comes down to bad budgeting and maybe some poor lifestyle choices.
So you're ignorant of what problems other people might be facing, and to fill in that gap in your understanding you've decided to blame the people who are having problems. Great.
The first step to solving a problem is recognizing that you have a problem.
But that's only the first step. If you aren't identifying that problem in specific terms (not vague generalities) and also proposing a solution (again not vague, and preferably SMART) then you are just complaining.
Ok, good? All you can do with Iron Dome is shoot down mortar rounds and slower-moving rockets (and maybe drones?) - it really only works for defense. I don't see the problem.
This is already at the point where we can replace an intern or one of the less good junior engineers.
This is a bad thing.
Not just because it will put the people you're talking about out of work in the short term, but because it will prevent the next generation of developers from getting that low-level experience. They're not "idiots", they're inexperienced. They need to get experience. They won't if they're replaced by automation.

Maybe it's time for these massive publishers to become irrelevant anyway. They're only in it for the money. Steam has proven that there's plenty of market for games made by small, independent publishers.
They were either the most powerful weapon in Star Trek history, able to destroy multiple enemy ships with a single burst, or they were basically a laser pointer. There never seemed to be any middle ground.
