taxidump··on A news helicopter was struck by a suspected drone, causing substantial damage
>The problem is people disabling that existing 400’ limited mode without FAA approval.

>Would mandating ADS-B on drones provide enough warning to other aircraft?

I assume the same type of person might just disable the beacon..

taxidump··on Climate change and nutrient pollution are depleting oxygen from oceans: study
Maybe the reason you are getting pushback is your tactic of insults. Blowhard, HN crank squad and anti-science nuts... The best way to represent a position here is through dialog, not name calling. Emotional jabs tend to undermine your argument.
taxidump··on Climate change and nutrient pollution are depleting oxygen from oceans: study
That "blowhard" has added more to this discussion than you have with this comment. Would you like to counter his position, or just call names?
taxidump··on Man Loses Home After Failing to Pay $8.41 in Property Taxes
>The more educated women are, the less children they tend to have.

I think this is due to women having to enter the work force and repay student loans vs. educated women choosing to not reproduce because of education.

taxidump··on New class of painkiller found in a mud sample
I was mistaken and had opioid lumped in with opiate.
taxidump··on New class of painkiller found in a mud sample
Kratom is not an opioid.

How do you track the train barrier state?
taxidump··on Why are people getting worse at “The Price Is Right”?
Travel sites are the worst for this.
taxidump··on Apple 'loses money on phone repairs'
If they take the stance that repairs are a loss for Apple, then they should stop their anti-repair tactics and allow 3rd party purchase of replacement components. Imho.
taxidump··on The Innocent Pleasure of Trespassing
The apartment was illegal, possibly not zoned for residential or not up to code. The act of helping someone move would not be illegal. He had every right to sue.
taxidump··on Spleeter: Extract voice, piano, drums, etc. from any music track
To add there is a format of music called Stems designed for DJ's and live remixers from Native Instruments which is a disassembly of the song into it's various parts.

taxidump··on Ban Facial Recognition at Festivals
Illegal immigrants are not sent to prison unless they committed additional crimes, usually they are deported and sent back to their respective countries.
taxidump··on The $68k Fish: The future of salmon in the Pacific Northwest
>So people are allowed to fish and kill a lot of them and you guys are more limited on fire many you can fish to reproduce? Wow, I never cease to be surprised by how stupid government can be.

Can you rephrase this in the form of a sentence?

taxidump··on New PDFex attack can exfiltrate data from encrypted PDF files
A company I was a contractor for would send payment invoices with a password. The password was the last four digits of the ID number specific to the contractor. Our CRM we all used had every contractors ID number in their profile publicly available. When I asked what the point was I was told upper management required a password and this was the easiest.
taxidump··on Airbus hit by series of cyber attacks on suppliers
I am not following your borderline racist comment about a name. Why do you assume stolen credentials? Low hanging fruit could be the entry point, but advanced attacks are common with state actors so this is highly assumptive and brings nothing to the discussion.
taxidump··on Microsoft has removed the “use offline account” option when installing Windows
>but how is it "screwing"?

Because all you get for $1000 is a one nice stand?

taxidump··on Facebook, WhatsApp Will Have to Share Messages With U.K.?
I can not find any source that many thousands if not tens of thousands died in Europe in 2019 from the heat wave. Can you point me to your information source? I believe you are confusing the 2003 heatwave from over a decade ago with the one in 2019.

The 2019 heat was directly implicated in the deaths of at least 15 people. Five died in France, four in Germany, three in the United Kingdom, two in Spain, and one in Italy. Nine of these were drownings, attributed to people cooling down, and another involved an exhausted farm worker who went unconscious after diving into a pool. The three who died in hot air were aged 72, 80 and 93. Approximately 321 million people were otherwise affected by similar temperatures in the same countries.[1]

taxidump··on Man Who Hired Deadly Swatting Gets 15 Months
That's quite a conclusion. This relationship between a programmer and a man who was shot during a swatting seems off. Would it be the gas station's fault who provided gas to the police vehicle en-route? A police officer using deadly force without any potential to be harmed himself is where the failure lies.
taxidump··on Khashoggi children have received houses in Saudi Arabia and monthly payments
You need to think like the leader of a nation, not like the leader of an advocacy group. This is a playing field most people can't comprehend.
taxidump··on Vinyl set to outsell CDs for first time since 1986
>physical analog medium (superficial, but has value to some)

I dissagree that vinyl medium is superficial. It is different entirely. Vinyl has a unique sound. Dynamic entropy is added during the playback from imperfections, many favor this outcome, not all.

Audio sources for vinyl duplication will undergo a seperate mastering process that is taylored for the vinyl version. Even if you do not request another mastering any good vinyl shop will have some adjustments they make before duplication.

All these variables will produce another version of the audio at the end. This will change propective and therefore put a perfect digital copy above or below the other in their mind.

taxidump··on Arizona State Students from China Detained at LAX, Denied Entry to US
Should we hold them in temporary confinement until we can complete their hearing, or just let them promice to return and plead their case?
taxidump··on Arizona State Students from China Detained at LAX, Denied Entry to US
>You mean there are two standards in USA one at the borders another in the country.

Yes. Also there are seperate policies and rules for citizens and non- citizens at the border.

>So all countries denying reporters, human rights workers or dissidents or protestors to enter their borders are doing it correct, because the rule of law is inside borders not outside.

This discussion pertains to entry into the US.

taxidump··on Arizona State Students from China Detained at LAX, Denied Entry to US
Agreeded, what is the alternative? Due process at the border? Do you see the hold up this will cause? We have an appeal process for entry denial.

Edit to add, citizens are entitled to due process while I am only referring to non-citizens

taxidump··on Arizona State Students from China Detained at LAX, Denied Entry to US
>we should at least try for "innocent until proven guilty"

This method of justice is reserved for our court system inside the US and most likley not work for our borders due to the fact agents must make educated or gut decisions.

>I'm all for the government denying entry, but it should be clear what the offense was.

This seens to be a contradiction to your other thought.

taxidump··on Verified by Twilio
I have several pbx systems running, and granted this is a newer concept. Maybe this will help residential calls, business calls on the other hand will most likely allow the consumer to still take the path of least resistance.
taxidump··on Device vanishes on command after military missions
The Liberator(?) Was entirely plastic I believe. Not just the lower. It may have had a metal firing pin.
taxidump··on The first solar road has turned out to be a disappointing failure
I am unable to downvote but I would if I could. Many reservoirs are for municipal water supplies and not for marine life. It is common to cover them to reduce evaporation. To jump to the conclusion that floating solar arrays would "fuck the fishes" is obviously not well thought out.
taxidump··on Tracking Sex: Implications of widespread data leakage and tracking on porn sites
Also included in the movie Snatch. Big black dildos were used...
taxidump··on Why Lie Detector Tests Can’t Be Trusted
I passed a polygraph, I was untruthful and still passed. The person administering the test had done tbis for the FBI for 15 years. I had no special training.
