Large lithium reserve found in McDermitt Caldera along Oregon-Nevada border

No, we do not have this technology (unless this is a pencil and paper ballot). And we should not be duped into believing the technology exists to be "fully auditable and transparent, yet completely anonymous". It does not and it probably cannot exist.

Governments everywhere: The response Maarten received from the CISO should be a model for security response. Everything else with the Dutch government may be a tyrannical horror (I don't know) but this published response was correct.

"This Court sees no rational basis for not allowing unvaccinated classroom teachers in amongst an admitted population of primarily unvaccinated students, As such, the decision to summarily deny the classroom teachers amongst the Panel Petitioners based on an undue hardship, without any further evidence of individualized analysis, is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable. As such, each classroom teacher amongst the Panel Petitioners is entitled to a religious exemption from the Vaccine Mandate."

"Yet, using p<0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance, the bivalent-vaccinated group had a slightly but statistically significantly higher infection rate than the unvaccinated group in the statewide category and the age ≥50 years category. However, in the older age category (≥65 years), there was no significant difference in infection rates between the two groups. This suggests that while the bivalent vaccine might offer protection against severe outcomes, it may not significantly reduce the risk of infections entirely."

Yes, SPF makes forwarding suck

This is one of the best descriptions of statistical bias I have ever read.

"Dr. Eyal Shahar is a professor emeritus of public health in epidemiology and biostatistics. His research focuses on epidemiology and methodology. In recent years, Dr. Shahar has also made significant contributions to research methodology, especially in the domain of causal diagrams and biases."

I always like to see the software engineers as the source.

The list of failures is so long how much security engineering took place at Microsoft?

It is possible the crash that contained the race condition was planned. But how would anyone know the race condition existed? We know now so it is likely, based upon the successful attack, it was known prior to the key being exfiltrated. How many of our organizations have the same race condition and our keys are/have been vulnerable? No one else has keys that are valid for more than a year, right?

Let's say the race condition was unknown to the attacker. How can the attacker find the key in the dump? Did they have a scanning tool looking for key data? If so, how long was that running on MS network before it found the keys in the dump file? How many of our organizations' keys are in dump files? Are they all expired?

Hmmm, after experiencing a similar "Insufficient Disk Space" situation once, there is now a folder with 10 Gb of "data" I can delete to "remediate" the situation in short order.

" This study demonstrated that disposable masks (KF94) released higher concentrations of TVOCs in comparison to cotton masks, with values of 3730 ± 1331 µg m–3 for KF94 and 268 ± 51.6 µg m–3 for cotton masks. The concentrations of TVOCs in KF94 masks are high enough to pose a concern based on indoor air quality guidelines established by the German Federal Environment Agency."

"According to a report late last month by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (Nyserda), large offshore wind developers are asking for an average 48% price adjustment in their contracts to cover rising costs. The Alliance for Clean Energy NY is also requesting an average 64% price increase on 86 solar and wind projects.

The IRA includes federal tax credits that can offset 50% of a project’s costs. But renewable developers say their costs are increasing faster than inflation and that the projects will “not be economically viable and would be unable to proceed to construction and operation under their existing pricing"

>The more nuanced your position, the more difficult it is to express in the short amount of time that you may have to speak.

My experienced with nuanced positions I have held and heard others present is they are either overthought and as a result overly complicated OR the presenter is really a salesperson and has something for you to buy.

BEV's are not proven over the course of history. If anything they have already failed once. The first time they failed was because of the lack of infrastructure. The economics of ICE are well proven. If the BEV cannot be viable without legislation that should tell you something is dramatically wrong with them, not encourage more legislation.

Too bad for the folks that work there and the massive amounts of GDP that will now go to China.

Another way to read this Malone identified issues with mRNA vaccines 20 years before the media decided to ignore them.

My question to pilots. What is a Airinc and it looks like the grounding was cancelled by the FAA, but is this just the obtuse wording?

Updates and the updating process are fraught with problems. Adding a requirement for updates to occur can compound those problems.

Some updates deprecate code. If that code is needed for critical functionality the update renders the device useless for that application.

Updates require some level of connectivity. It is becoming increasingly more common to insulate an IoT device from the Internet. Either through a VPN, an internal firewalled network, or completely disconnected. This is at odds with an IoT "requirement" to update equipment.

Updates require downtime. When do updates occur? How often? Can they be scheduled? If I have several IoT devices from the same manufacturer can I aggregate updates with an intermediate software package which then controls deployment?

How are updates tested? Are the original requirements from the initial manufacturing process kept or does this change over time and result in a broken IoT device.

I believe those that manage distros can also make mistakes. They will probably get found quickly for the largest distros however.

Interesting. I always use an adblocker so never noticed. There are a couple of really good ones out there. You may want to try uBlock or Adblockplus. Both seem to work well.
