Also consider that while star sign might be the stated reason for incompatibility, the truth could have been an impression or gut feeling and so the astrological mismatch is simply a way to give a reason for their feelings, whether done consciously to save face, or subconsciously to have something decisive to latch onto.

While I agree with the premise of your statement, remember that: 1) A court order is only required for a subpoena to request information that the service provider isn't already voluntarily providing. It has been common pratice for decades where telecoms and now social media works together with federal entities outside of a legal action. And this was not limited to trap/trace. 2) It's never so specific to be about protecting an individual candidate. It's about the foreign interference, and if that interference backs a specific candidate and attacks their rivals, then it will look like they're trying to protect the rivals. But at the end of the day it they have to trace it back to the foreign influence campaign if they're going to do anything with it. If Twitter jumps the gun and suspends or bans someone they're trying to work backwards from before having evidence its unfortunate but I blame that on Twitter not having stricter standards about such a partnership.

Honest to goodness the results don't seem worth it for the power usage. Pre-baked lighting, environment maps, material shaders look _really good_ and are easy to get decent frame rates out of without sacrificing artistic freedom. Why are we making it more difficult for ourselves with global illumination which just introduces more problems. It's just very difficult to realistically light things while still maintaining high-visibilty of game assets in dynamic situations.

It sells graphics cards but I just don't think it's very practical.

These exist in many different generations (sensor-based traffic control devices) but as there are state and/or local certifications each solution and implementation must meet to be deployed, plus the additional cost of installing and periodically calibrating sensors, they are not warranted unless the situation calls for it. The inconvenience of waiting an extra minute at a minor cross-street doesn't usually cut it.

If you live where there is a light that causes disruption or accidents because it needs sensors based on the traffic flows nearby, you should bring it to the attention of your local government. At the very least you could get them to do a study on it.

This is what the subreddit mentioned in the article sort of "discovered"; they spend a lot of time obsessing over the details and subtle variations they can get by working directly with factories and artisans in China. By using a real design as a template they cut out the difficult part of designing the whole concept from scratch and can work from a template but still achieve quality with some minor tailoring.

Incidentally, did you know that PowerShell on Linux respects the XDG specification? It was rather unexpected when I first noticed it and it just tickles me pink.

Only for grandfathered-in systems that are critical to keep operating that can't be replaced. New systems and lower-impact existing systems cannot use 3DES at all, unless it's only to decrypt stuff previously encrypted with it.

NSA is the entity in the DOD which sets certain minimum requirements and validates their cryptographic implementations. NIST owns the overarching standards for the whole government and sets requirements and performs validations through NVLAP that NSA doesn't, usually with their input.

When you see "FIPS", that means NIST approved/validated.

NSA approval/validation is relevant when the system has to handle classified information and often (but not necessarily) you start with components that have FIPS certification.

"[...] a bored ape is pleasant to look at [...]"

Is it really, though? Maybe the word you're looking for is striking or distinctive. Possibly-- competent. But pleasant is not the first word that comes to mind.

BAYC had first-mover advantage, there isn't anything particular about them that wasn't done better by a project that came later. That they are uniquely fugly made them stand out as a novelty.

Related tech that got traction is BLE in servers with corresponding apps, like Dell Quick Sync. Lets you flash the ID light of a server from your phone, among lots of other things.

All of this assumes that other games will "play by the rules", in the sense that they won't let you use an item that you don't own. If I can see the resource (and in all current models, the content of the signed media/document an NFT authorizes is public) then I can use myself if my client is so configured. Most games give value to loot by forced scarcity, NFTs don't implicitly enable this at all.

The wireless is something for guests, and is hacked together with something you know works with an open router OS, or something off-the-shelf on an isolated VLAN.

You're in the boat of deploying OpenWRT or similar low-cost APs presenting the same SSID on a shared VLAN, plugging them into your favorite PoE switch, and manually configuring their channel strengths, etc. It isn't so bad if it's a one-and-done thing, but all of the out-of-the-box solutions are very IoT.

Enterprise solutions with your self-contained WLAN controller and APs (not including PoE switches) are typically pretty pricey (>$5k, can spend a lot more).

I mean, the issue is some people don't want to run a whole desktop or laptop with a 20+ watt power supply to provide the occasional wifi to a phone/tablet. Unless you're running a media server plus other services (or you have a lot of end users on a fast connection) I feel like a pfSense setup is a bit overkill, and this is where OpenWRT on your ARM+Switching SoC-of-the-week excels.

Oh!

Well I agree with you there about the office demanding a certain level of, uh, Presidentialness. Whether on social media or not.

I was just being hyperbolic about your typical blue-check twitter user coupled with a (possibly unhealthy) sprinkling of self-deprecation.

You're welcome, sorry if I came across strangely.

It's just that I think people forget that the office of the President, while important, is a civilian executive position. It is unlike Chief Justice, or a 3* General, which require lifetime commitments to achieve.

I believe it was intentional that the office of the President to be public and administrative, more like that of a mayor than of a king.

And that's what we shouldn't lose sight of.

Don't take my word for it

Not only this, but the offices of the SECDEF and secretaries of each service branch are also led by civilians, to which the JCS report. There are strict limits to the number of positions in those offices that can be filled by uniformed officers.

I don't trust Biden any further than I can throw him, but he is a known devil who is under scrutiny for his neoliberal legislative history. It was a smart move to veep Harris.

In a way his tough on drugs/crime history was necessary to pull in the hand-wringing boomers and fingers crossed he's flip flopped there and wants to be the cool grandpa who gets to legalize it before he croaks as his legacy or whatever.

I'm paraphrasing and streamlining several people's opinions on the matter here.
