i am genuinely interested why you find it harder to recommend mint. I stopped distro hopping a few years ago, all my boxes are setup with mint and run flawless, so I didn't look elsewhere for a while.
No I think it fits perfectly AM, in Germany it is even called Motorfahrrad (MoFa, motorized bike). The pedals seem silly but I remember using them on step streets. Anyway just compare the specs here
https://bmdv.bund.de/SharedDocs/EN/Articles/StV/Roadtraffic/...
"a maximum design speed of up to 45 km/h"
"an electric motor or an internal combustion engine with a cubic capacity not exceeding 50 cc or
a maximum continuous rated power of up to 4 kW in the case of electric motors"
And the specs mentioned in the artikle
"...his brake layout again confirms that the bike is intended to fit the “50cc” moped category, with a top speed of 28 mph(~45 km/h) and no more than 4kW of power"
You might want to review the EU driver licence classes then.
Class AM
"Two-wheel vehicles or three-wheel vehicles with a maximum design speed of not more than 45 kilometres per hour (28 mph) and with a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimetres (3.1 cu in). "
ok i guess I'll have to admit/adress some errors in this case.
1. Malthus is still cited(and applies I think) a lot in historical papers when discussing preindustrial societies and that was the mindset I was in when I wrote the comment.
2. I didn't really consider "endless" in the scenario present. In an endless world you you' ll get infinite wars. Whereas in an finite world you get finite wars so the "endless" we world will always more wars then the finite.
Sorry I don't comment on Russo-Ukrainian war online as I want to avoid to get the discussion into a flamewar.
"Applying this same analysis for wars that happened 500 years ago is more difficult" Yes it is and there a still colored discussions about this e.g. consider the Roman expansion in into Greece. There is a camp which argues it was (initally) a defensive move to counter a pact between Macedonia and Selecuid kingdom against Egypt (Green at al), which would distribute the power in eastern Mediterranean against Rome. The other side argues Rome was just build to expand endlessly and it was aggressive move. Here I'm slightly on the first side, as I think Rome wanted to consolidate after the Punic Wars. But after the inital wars the following wars were clearly landgrabs, which provided with Rome with rich areable land in the east.
Anyway I argue, to wage war up until to modern times you needed control land as this paid your military, in rome were talking about 50% of state income, most from landtax. And this created the initative to wage war of said reason (we are getting into interstate anarchy theory see. e.g. Eckstein or Waltz).
I said mostly. We will find a lot of examples following this ideas, narratives, symbols the author mentiones in modern time but also earlier (30years war, crusades etc.). But until the industrial evolution, state income was basically taxes on land(in coin but also in big part in kind) and this was mostly fought over. I don't disagree with you, I just think the author has the balance the wrong way around
"Those who have studied the past should not be surprised. The most contested subjects in human history have arguably not been land or fortunes, but symbols, ideas, beliefs, and possibilities" I read a lot of history and I'm quite sure it was mostly about land
Back in the days before I got into SWDev, I was working as eventtech(sound/light), which is quite a shady buisness at time. Most companies only have minimum employees and hire freelancer when needed, for events obviously. Anyway since not all events are successfull, paying and agreements may not always be honoured, which results in lot of backtalk and rumour regarding liquidity and/or payment practice of said companies.
Anyway of course this was also mirrored in online discussion of specific forums, for Germany especially in the PAForum.
The answer from PAForum to counter fake accounts was actual proof of identity, by sending a copy of passport and a phone call. This made this forum no1. for jobs and feedback about companies, since people needed to add their reputation for it.
Services are hard to scale and need a lot of moderation but for specific needs it may make sense.
/Opinion:
"Makers of BT devices can't agree on many important common things (easy discovery / pairing mode, priority, etc)." => I think it is not the creators of the devices (peripherals), it is in my expierence the SmartPhones (Apple/Google)
=> iOS won't let you discover BLE Devices which have only generic or costum services/characteristics
=> iOS will hide parts of advertisment/discovery data from app developers
=> iOS won't let you know if a device is bonded/paired via API
=> on iOS if you want to initiate bonding, you have to initiate it from the peripheral
=> Android sometimes "forgets" keys of paired devices
=> Android sometimes scrambles data from characteristic notify()
=> Android sometimes "misses" characteristic writes (ratio 1:1000000)
This is just what I could come up with in a minute. I develop both FW for peripherals and Apps, so my 2 cents
=> It's almost never the peripheral/fw and most time the Smartphone
=> RF noise is (almost) never an issue, glitchses come from phones
Yes all the time, my go to topic for learning new techs is usually hexes (I don't know why I'm obsessed with HexMaps...). Anyway when I dabbled with F# I did exactly this, browserize it with Fable(https://fable.io/).
Usually I loose interest after a while so I implemented HexGrids + some strategy/tactical stuff on various techstacks, but never finished anything. It's ok its more about learning the stack than actually releasing.
Hmm they only context I know it is in context of test automation as "Hardware in the loop".
Apply nightly firmware to ble-perpheral via ssh-
Install nightly app build on mobile via adb-
Test ble connection -
Test ble bonding-
Test interaction between the devices-
control some relais to trigger certain events-
curl to see if events land in backend....
would be tedious to do it manually. That said everyting is in git...
I'm not sure if this was the case in Munich, I could be off on the details but if remember correctly the city built it for 2 clubs (Bayern and 1680) and the rented it to both clubs. Later when 1860 yielded because they couldn't pay , Bayern bought all the shares. Also both the Autobahn (Äusserer Ring) and Mittlerer Ring(North) were restructure at this time for other reasons(traffic)so cost cannot directly be added to the stadium. So yeah I think this staduim was supported by public money, but I think it really is hard to put a number behind this.
"Since the invasion, I haven't seen any articles on the topic and the US media have gone suddenly silent on their involvement." that's just not true pick your favourite search engine and you see articles on this topic from every major outlet.I checked for this Nyt, WP (US) , der spiegel(ger), guardian(uk). You see articles coming up the last 2 weeks, another spike was 2017 and before 2014. I guess if ran an analysis for I'd see spikes mentioning Azov, whenever the Ukranian topic was in the media
If these are Bluetooth LE devices they surely integrated advertisement, it just means something different in this context and could actually explain the technical problem which the parent had.
I don't think Putin has a single reason, the reason you stated is one in particalur an US one. From a Western European view, my best guess is, he also wants to destabilize EU (with a lot of NATO memebers). Remember Syria an the refugee crisis? This gave TailWind to a lot of right wing parties, which are mostly ProRussia (AFD, FPÖ etc). Incidentally left wing parties, "Die Linke" comes to mind, are also Putin fans. So any polarization within EU will help Russia to sell its resources and don't get sanctioned to much. IMO Putin is playing the divisor.
No, your average home tv is not designed to run 24/7. These Digital Signage Monitors are supposed to do this. Try running your average costumer tv 24/7 for half a year and see how the color & sharpness is. Also they are repairable (normally).
Could you please explain how you got this number? If I look at the statistics for the most countries in Europe I'll see a ratio of around 2/100 between detected cases and deaths (Germany, Belgium). That would mean that we would have around 5x more cases than we detect ,if we see "mild" as doesn't die. If you define "mild" as "not in hospital" this number would be even higher (meaning in some case that more than 100% of the population of a country would have had covid). So please explain your numbers and reasoning.
