> Let me be clear: this is pure speculation. The evidence is public, but there are no leaks or insider rumors that confirm I’m right. In fact, I am building the theory with this post, not just sharing it. I don’t have privileged information—if I did, I’d be under an NDA anyway. The hypothesis feels compelling because it makes sense. And honestly, what more do I need to give the rumor mill a spin?
Computer power has been increasing all the time, but that hasn't kept people from experimenting with the limited power of their time (which ultimately led to better solutions) rather than waiting for the more powerful machines.

> The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as the nation's central bank. The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government and reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress.
> Some observers mistakenly consider the Federal Reserve to be a private entity because the Reserve Banks are organized similarly to private corporations. For instance, each of the 12 Reserve Banks operates within its own particular geographic area, or District, of the United States, and each is separately incorporated and has its own board of directors. Commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System hold stock in their District's Reserve Bank. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. In fact, the Reserve Banks are required by law to transfer net earnings to the U.S. Treasury, after providing for all necessary expenses of the Reserve Banks, legally required dividend payments, and maintaining a limited balance in a surplus fund.
IT wasn’t amused when I reported it as phishing attempt.
> “Since it was not possible for us to question the captain, we have asked the South Korean authorities to help with the investigation at the ship’s next port of destination,” a Taiwan Coast Guard official said. A Taiwanese national security official said the ship was due to arrive in Pusan over the next few days.
And Ikea Bittergurka as enclosure is a great idea for my next project.
Cloud providers also have some dedicated fiber between their data centers.
> HIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
> Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many week
Wouldn’t it just be the server which needs to be accessed from the outside? And the control interface is not that bandwidth-hungry.

But they shouldn’t be seen as dogma. (Well, unless you do it on purpose: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95 )
The other part is how many people you need to produce music. There are tools which can replace some of the work, such as mastering, playing an instrument or even making me a singer with a decent voice. Not for the high end, but still a threat to studio musicians.
Solid advice. But how do I get encrypted voice communication? Are Signal‘s or WhatsApp‘s calls encrypted?
Also, they sound so much worse than an old-fashioned call.
And an interesting asymmetry:
> The left main bronchus is the most common site of pin impaction.
> Although inhaled foreign bodies commonly lodge in the right bronchial tree, scarf pins more often settle in the left tree. Numerous authors have attributed this finding to the Bernoulli phenomenon, which states that coughing, laughing, or speaking creates stronger negative pressure in the narrow left bronchus than in the wide right bronchus.
From the document it seems they want to be able to intercept and decrypt all communication (even complaining that car manufacturers don't retain enough data).
Not just hierarchy but to create a common ground for everyone involved. Very helpful. If you’ve ever felt awkward at an event because you didn’t know the customs — this is to avoid that.
EDIT: here is another example, UN protocol in Geneva https://www.eda.admin.ch/dam/mission-onu-omc-aele-geneve/en/...
That means they have gone all the way to prove it’s safe and effective, and now have to convince the regulators.
Can anyone find the studies?
I would imagine that programming languages need another vocabulary and you will also need to deal with LongVariableNames, delimiters, tabs etc.
The author wishes for courts and insurance to replace such regulation, but that would be more onerous for businesses (especially small ones).
It would also be slower and more random to react to new insights, because instead of having a structured agency consultation process, it will have to make its way through the courts.
On the other hand, perhaps the summer intern would have had an easier time finding something (and the defense more time to spot potential gaps in their arguments).
The UI prompt was: “Are you sure you want to discard ALL changes. This is IRREVERSIBLE.”
This, after the user wanted to stage their files for the first time. What does “changes” even mean in that context?
But also trying a new tool on 5k files that aren’t saved elsewhere isn’t advisable.
The FReT algorithm (if I understand correctly) works on equally spaced points in time and projects on the same grid into the future. So it would seem that interpolation is not possible with this method.
