Actually, ProtonDB indicates Crysis runs just fine on Linux.

It depends on the cat. Some will self-regulate, others will not.

In a perfect world, maybe. Not in this one.

It's so the billions of disgruntled former workers can't storm the castle.

Who could have predicted that drones flying outside during the day might have to deal with direct sunlight?

If you've ever wanted to try this, I highly recommend "Dig This" in Las Vegas. They'll teach you the basics and then put you in a an excavator or bulldozer, with an open course full of big heavy things to move around. It's great fun.

Geiger counter with built-in taser. It's a feature, not a bug.

> Wind turbines are noisy up close...

Citation needed. I toured a wind farm a few months ago, and they were barely audible at ground level.

Relevant video from USCSB, from a propane explosion in 2007 that killed four people.

Like all other forms of carbon, diamonds will combust in the presence of oxygen.

The opposite extreme: physics-based rendering that models the entire optical chain of a film camera, including the emulsion layers.

When you say "hand track", you're not kidding.

I was expecting something with motors controlled by a person, but this is literally picking up the dish and pointing it by muscle power.

Back of envelope, a 1 meter parabolic antenna at 1.7 GHz gives about 12 degree beam width (FWHM), which is what makes this practical. Very clever.

The first few roundabouts I encountered were terrible. One was next to a school, yet it was too small to be navigated by the school bus. One had stop signs instead of yield at every entrance.

As a result, I hated them until years later, when I encountered one that was done correctly. After that, I completely flipped my opinion. Done right, they can completely beat a traffic light for wait time and throughput.

The bill used an incredibly over-broad definition of "harmful material". Then it makes the bookstore and its employees liable if a child ever accesses allegedly harmful material. (Even if it's sold to someone else, and the child accesses it later.)

You don't see the incredibly obvious problems with this?

American telecom companies have been caught making up fees that don't correspond to any government-imposed tax. Sometimes they do control that portion of the bill.

You're probably thinking of chip-scale atomic clocks (CSAC). There's at least two companies that make them [1][2].

Look at moneybags over here paying $30 for a watch. /s

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

No. Removing space debris is more like snatching bullets from mid-air than picking up trash.

They are welcome to bring up such arguments at a trial, where they can be contested fairly before judge, jury, and the general public.

Jury trials are another important constitutional right that's being infringed. Until the facts are resolved fairly, those accusations are suspect.

I will also remind you that some of those affected are (were?) permanent residents. If they can take that away without due process, it's only a matter of time before citizens are also on the chopping block.

> Meanwhile, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been detaining and trying to deport pro-Palestinian students who are legally in the United States. The administration is targeting students and academics who spoke out against Israel’s attacks on Gaza, or who were active in campus protests against U.S. support for the attacks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Thursday that at least 300 foreign students have seen their visas revoked under President Trump, a far higher number than was previously known.

How is "deportation without a trial" not a deliberate attack on people exercising their constitutional right to free speech?

They did. They are legally required to use those systems, which also make it easy to archive the official government records that are also legally required. Every government employee has annual training emphasizing these legal requirements.

The problem is these officials chose not to use the secure systems, because they don't want those records to exist.

This is entirely wrong. OFDM is necessary for WiFi etc. in order to maximize spectral efficiency (i.e., bps per Hz for a given unit of radio spectrum) and mitigate multipath.

The main purpose of the GPS spreading codes is to prevent self-interference from the other satellites and to increase the effective bandwidth for the cross ambiguity function (i.e., to get a nice, sharp cross-correlation peak in the time-domain). The pre-spreading data signal is only ~50 bits per second, so spectral efficiency is not a primary concern.

Absolutely not. The GPS and Galileo spacecraft are all pointed at Earth. This demo is a special receiver that can piece together glimpses when that signal happens to slip past the edge of the Earth and reach the moon.

If you "share with partners" in exchange for money, that sounds a lot like selling.

Why does the Windows filesystem allow filenames with invalid strings?

It seems obvious that attempts to create files with such filenames ought to be blocked.
