The caverns have salt walls. The water erodes the salt caverns.

The lack of hurricanes also means that heat is not being removed from the Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, future hurricanes are likely to be more powerful and more frequent.

And marine populations will suffer. Changes in currents will affect shipping. Overall a disaster.

I wonder if our fisheries or our insect-pollinated crops will collapse first.

Plant a garden area with native plants. I have several garden plots across my property and over the years I have been removing all non-native vegetation and replacing things with natives. By keeping the area around my orchard and vegetable gardens all native I have noticed an increasing number of native bees, moths, butterflies and beetles in my garden area, pollinating the things I hope to keep alive long enough to harvest and eat. I have my first good crop of olives this year. I'm pretty stoked.

You can make a difference by giving native insects and birds a place to hang out, safe from insecticides and other unnecessary afflictions.


Future meaning the next weeks or even next year?

This does happen every El Niño this years is pretty wild. Every local forecasters is saying "IDFK" and they are right. The the great Atlantic conveyor also starts to die this year we are in for evolution!

If 4-5 degree temperature jump comes true it will be an extinction for many species in tropical and sub tropical areas and millions of people will die as those will hit wet bulb temperature ie it will be to hot and humid for mammals

Came here to say this.

I saw someone call out the stock performance of $OC (shingles) vs strong el ninos... it seems so obvious. What else is like that?

Or name it after whichever society preceded the Aztec.

> the high end RAM could theoretically operate at 16000Mbps

Just to nit, HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is RAM operating in the terabits per second range.


shitty CAPTCHA’s and simple checksums have been ruled to be “effective measures”, so this would probably be too.

However, Section 1201(f) is designed to allow developers leeway in reverse engineering to make "independently created computer programs" talk to other "computer programs". But this usually distinguishes between talking to a binary (good) and reading a media file (bad).

My guess is the encoder is probably legal under 1201(f) because it’s reverse engineering a DMCA covered application to create new media files for it to use. But the decoder would be illegal because it reverse engineers a DMCA covered application to extract copyrighted media.


No, on appeal the simple checksum was ruled to NOT be an effective measure. [0]

And while courts might have ruled that a CAPTCHA might count as a "technological measure" they haven't gotten as far as ruling them as "effective" yet.

But in general yes. The protection scheme doesn't need to be well designed or free of design flaws to count as "effective". But from what I can tell, it does need to be a valid attempt at some cryptographic scheme requiring a secret known only to the copyright holder.

You're underselling this report. The court found that a whole lot of computer code that's intended to be a roadblock to interoperability isn't copyrightable - great news for adversarial reverse engineers everywhere. Recommend reading.

Also it was an appeal to a preliminary judgement. The lower court said: okay, you're most likely going to lose so you have to stop selling these until we find out whether you lose. The appeal court said: actually this case is almost completely bogus and you're probably going to win, so you can keep selling them.


As others have mentioned, the NASA soldering standards / workmanship standards (which I can no longer find an easy link to) were the most helpful for me. I was really bad at soldering before finding those. Now I'm merely mediocre, but that's fine because I can do everything I personally need to do on a PCB.

Windows LTSC / IoT comes pretty damned close. It's the only version I install. I'm always shocked by the <20 processes running in Task Manager on a clean install.

It may be 20 less but still hundreds. I'll never understand the LTSC advocacy, it is still the same thing except they mopped up the most disgusting looking liquid seeping out to the floor but didn't touch the huge turd sitting in the middle.

No in my case it was literally just 20 processes or so. It didnt fill the default window size.

> There also seems to be a lot of ‘privacy’ tools popping up on github lately.

FWIW, O&O ShutUp10 dates back to 2015, with the launch of Windows 10. This isn't v10, it's "Shut Up, [Windows] 10!".

O&O Defrag has been a trusted tool since 1998.

That said, I largely agree with "No source code? No thanks." as I don't want to worry about a private equity group buying O&O Software and doing with it what they will.


Google was pretty amazing for about 15 years, not 1 to 2. Google rocked from its launch (1999ish) until around the time it shut down Google Reader (2013ish).

The actual reason was when they pushed Google+ and tried to make that the centre of Google. Everything else that had a social element had to be killed. Anything that breathed the same oxygen as plus got the boot.

Including the inanity of the + operator being a "this word unchanged must appear in results" modifier. So when they hot patched search, it broke, as +aliens looked for the plus name aliens only.

Then some bonkers spokesperson for google said "oh just use quotes", which at the time did nothing even remotely the same. I loath this person for eternity, her lies, and her waving off of reporters concerns.

Thus verbatim was introduced, validating quotes weren't the same, yet which wouldn't work with date ranges, and is lame.

So goes the "professionalisn" of Google, or "screw around like uncoordinated idiots".

To say Plus was inane and destructive to Google is vastly understating. And everyone involved in Plus were buffoons.

You know, I wish could speak freely on this topic, but as a public forum, I have held back some vitriol.


Im glad someone else still remembers the plus operator. I miss it.

...and them pushing Google+ despite their users best interests was the first signal the good years were finished.

Things have accelerated since then. Maybe compare their time to a billion users to scale the golden age. I’d guess it’s almost over.

It's 30mg per vial. In addition to that being the going rate for 300mg total...the calculations and final price for 20 weeks match up to 300mg total, not 300mg per vial.

Clearly you don’t have a family member who uses CGM’s. They are extremely sensitive to RF disruptions, and often fail for mind bogglingly dumb reasons.

2s on / 2s off would completely disable all of their functionality until the interference was gone. And possibly much longer - they are finicky.


Bluetooth operates in an unlicensed band. If any medical device relies on any unlicensed band for any life-critical thing that is horrible design.

I would absolutely support consequences to any device manufacturer if a death is caused by a jamming of unlicensed frequencies. (In my opinion, medical devices should be able to keep you alive in any jamming scenario if feasible. But using licensed bands is just bare minimum.)


How is additional paperwork supposed to help? Jamming is already illegal and usage of ISM bands is quite strictly regulated.


> How is additional paperwork supposed to help?

Additional paperwork reduces the likelihood (in actual, observable practice) that unintentional interferers exist to impact your critical-to-life application.

Furthermore, by moving your critical-to-life application away from common frequencies of interest, you avoid being collateral damage to jammers targeting unrelated applications.


surely there's a failsafe if they're that sensitive and finicky.

Counting my lucky stars I don't need one, but if I did, I don't think I'd rely on it if it's that incapable of staying up.


So they are sensitive to RF but for some reason all the RF around you, from the power lines in the walls, the WIFI, the towers, they are immune to those?


This is such a first world problem. The speakers the post refers to are probably in a third world country where no medical equipment uses Bluetooth so jamming it poses no danger.


The reason why they don't use Bluetooth is because, they don't exist at all. People either die first before receiving the device, or the condition that requires it is rare in that part of the world
