Maybe your parents didn’t teach you empathy when you were growing up, as is so prevalent these days. There are millions of retired people on fixed incomes who bought their homes when they were normally priced. For example, my grandparents bought a house in Los Gatos for $30k in 1969 and now it’s priced at $1.4M. Is that their fault? Why should elderly people, who cannot take the stress of being uprooted and moving, be forced to sell their homes and lose their balance sheet savings in the process? If anything, discounts on capital gains and property taxes should be based on both income and balance sheet apart from real estate ownership. What if that were you?
Juan from the Blanco Lirio channel just consolidated the rumors that two (2) Tor (Gen 1) (NATO: SA-15 “Gauntlet”) short-range missiles were probably fired from a battery near the takeoff path based on NATO forces’ SIGINT identifying a lock-on from fire-control radar onto the aircraft and radar tracks of the missiles. It’s interesting how Western sources could identify such signals either from space or hundreds of miles to the south from the Caspian. I guess there is also a possibility of visual/IR sensors seeing the exhaust plume of the solid rocket motor moving quickly at a distance.
I remember the smell of carbonless copy paper from an Okidata dot matrix printer hooked up to an AT&T 6300 (same as Olivetti M24) at my dad’s garage (shop). It’s like an earthy “new car smell,” probably cancer-causing VOCs, but it is what it is.
Canonical, FreeBSD, Joyent and upteen Sun customers over 15 years disagree with an opinionated non-programmer jerk with anger issues espousing Tweet soundbites lacking any data to backup a wild claim worthy of John McAfee.
No 747 has been used for mainstream commercial passenger service for almost a year because it’s an old, uneconomical design that simply can’t compete anywhere except in cargo.
That makes it a 737 NG. The NG’s structural components were mostly manufactured (badly) by a subcontractor, Ducommun, but Boeing insisted on installing them anyhow. In 2010, there was a cover-up and a whistleblower; Al Jazeera broke it in a long-form documentary that apparently no one watched.
You watch too much CNN or MSNBC to dredge up the disproven Russiagate conspiracy theory FUD. Maybe you should wait for investigators to provide their preliminary findings, eh?
FAA: “You’re under arrest for unlicensed drone operation!”
Is this sort of scenario we really want? More government control and monetary extraction from every single, benign human activity? Should kites and paper airplanes require licenses too?
So, has HN turned into a political conspiracy theory and propaganda factory to beat the drums towards war? I just don’t see how this is relevant except to egg-on the paranoid InfoWars hobgoblins.
North American feelings are more important than data, rationality and logic... because ignorant people “know better” than climate scientists and subject-matter experts. It sucks, but that’s what most people believe and they vote that way too.
Basically every US Navy ship with radar constantly records radar data. It would be easy to demonstrate the aircraft’s flight profile to exonerate the ship. Hiding it means they’re hiding the truth.
Whether things are causes, consequences or side-effects is overly-simplistic, linear thinking that isn’t helpful when there are many real pains. Don’t bikeshed on labels or categories, please.
Inverted totalitarianism imposed by the consequences of extreme greed by the very rich has created ALL of these conditions: divided-and-conquered polarized populace, learned helplessness and corrupt government.
The only viable solution is, unfortunately, violent overthrow of the established order because peaceful revolution has been made totally impossible. It’s the rich’es fault for creating the status quo and ours for accepting it. It’s not an anarchism vs. capitalism vs. communism trinary choice, but a difference in continuum of corruption of the established order working for the people on one extreme and working for only the elites on another. Incrementalist “hoping” nibbling on the periphery or peaceful change aren’t going to happen because the elites concede nothing (except crumbs) without a fight.
It’s typical for centuries, if not millennia, that politicians will start external dramas (i.e., wars) as smokescreens to deflect and to distract from internal controversies.
Possibly from a “BETAMAX” features point-of-view, but it’s not as pervasive as WiFi (“VHS”).
My front door lock is Zigbee only because a WiFi camera is its WiFi-to-Zigbee bridge. Everything else is WiFi.
Maybe in the future smart home stuff will convert over, but then it means one company or another will have to sell a bridge and be the gatekeeper. Perhaps the home/ISP-provided access points should include Z-Wave / Zigbee that is open to provision and configure from FAANG’s and smart home products?
