I keep seeing this sentiment, and it seems like wishful thinking.. The paper is out there on how to defeat the poison pill: trigger the pill, let the stock tank, offer at a lower price per share but at the same market value plus what was put into the company to acquire the new stock by the diluters. Full market price is full market price. Look at Musk's investment in automation at Tesla he knows how to play the long game. ttps://scholarship.law.nd.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1102&context=law_faculty_scholarship

So the power supply used to change the speed of nuclear warships from bare steerageway to 30+kts rather quickly is not responsive to changes in demand? Friend you seem to have some conceptual errors.

There is a lot of things you need to do if you take a plant out of operation, and there is a significant amount of decay heat from fission products that does require external power (basically what caused fukashima's fires) to cool over days if you turn a plant off, but you are oversimplifying solved engineering challenges to present them as intractable challenges.

SO the US military is heavily reliant on GPS, and they know it, and so do professionals on the other side. There is a lot of good reason to think that if the US gets into a Large State action, which is relatively unlikely but. . . , then the opposition will employ GPS jamming to negate some of the more smart and collateral damage avoiding systems. I've been out for almost a decade, so I don't know if secondary powers have reliable and ubiquitous GPS jamming capabilities, but I'd bet dollars to donuts IRAN has spent significant funding to acquire GPS jamming. All of this gives a a context for why the military both uses training aids (marker blackout over GPS, manually disabled data links, and whatever more high tech the have devised) and real operate in jamming training, possibly as final training, certification training/exams, if my experience in sibling forces is any guide.

Remember "Don't be evil"? Security bug, won't fix block the demo to decrease awareness of security hole, that's evil.

As my algorithms professor said on his programming project. A program is just a number, pick the right number.

At least he made it funny.

On the flip side between where you can get out in a survival suit, where rescue submarines can get to, and places where the people tank will go crunch before you hit the bottom, pretty much everything is covered for USN submarines; it's a very safety conscious community.

>Social cohesion is far more important than both your obstinacy and your problems, and if you persist, we will burn your ass at the stake. It's ugly, it's sad, we wish we didn't have to do it, but it reflects the reality of society.

Wow, How do I make sure I never interact with your "society"? To me this attitude is strait out of Orwell and Huxley?

Umm. . . it probably wouldn't be cost effective for you: the NRC is pretty brutal in it's regulations. I'm very gun-ho on nuclear power, but that is one bureaucracy I don't mind charging ~$4-500/hr for people to review submitted designs for approval and then painfully inspecting operating plants.

Because this requires brick and mortar industrial hardware to be logistically salable, lacking that it becomes vaporware.

I think an unconscious bias may be that a bad but free connection that can negatively impact the perception of web solutions from casual users, which in the end is the revenue base for everyone here involved in B2C business models.

Yes, though if I understood things correctly that one had the option to add capabilities using fmri vetted coders.

So does Waze do something more aggressive than Gooogle's faster route option. This is the second article Ive seen blaming Waze, but I get similar recommendation's as a casual Google Maps user who checks which of three routes is fastest in each morning.

I don't have a personal list but I'd suggest scraping r/programminghumor for stack overflow links would generate a statistically significant test set.

In my own experience ~7/10 times the duplicate question is something entirely different and I have to spend longer searching because of someone's ignorant pedantry.

The hurdle of bringing "government data" back inside the government lifelines is one of the things large contractors can use to minimize the risk of the contractor being changed.

It's a non-trivial challenge as the government agencies seldom staffs up to the level of tech personnel required, and can't really afford to attract sufficient talent to automate without outsourcing the support contract.

Source: I've been adjacent to these efforts in the DOD/Mil sector with a military region BOSS (Base operations Support services) contractor in question.

So what would the trust criteria be? There is a lot of credible disagreement about trustworthy media sources today after all.

Maybe doing due diligence, reading a few primary sources, before you choose to believe or act on something?

IANAL but my TLDR is Swarm applied for US licencing to launch, got told no, because there devices are too small for some ground based tracking systems, but launched anyways because they already had bought space on an Indian launch and they didn't have time to move ownership to a better regulatory body. On the plus side it's time to look at who owns the support & development contract for the air-forces satellite radar, probably LockMart, because they will probably get a contract to improve to a 5cm or less resolution.

That said wasn't the state of the art production previously measured in single digit square centimeters?

Can you please post a blog guide on administering these paper-cuts.

SCOTUS oral arguments are some of the best sardonic comedy you will ever find. It's nine well educated professional masters of their field basically who only have to care about each others opinions, grilling two very accomplished journeymen arguing opposing viewpoints. Find a case your interested in, listen in and you will probably be entertained.

I'm going to have to snoop around and see if I can find any specs on this, and the lawfare of if it can be elected.

How's your simming of this situation going?

So this is lawfare between a company that makes something and a company purported to have stolen their design. I guess the question that really would make it interesting is what country is the purported design thief in?

>Diet, exercise and personal responsibility still do matter.

As an aging former military member it seems like personal responsibility is becoming more and more a foreign concept. I'm saying this not to kvetch but to get peer perception on the thought.

Yes it's meant as a little bit of self depreciation on a name that's a personal reminder: "don't be the big butt plug"

What percentage voted?

Unfortunate if so, nothing will change until someone organizes class actions, and then the victims get at best enough to buy a lunch, a cheap lunch.

Hmmm . . . so two questions:

1. (serious) What recourse do customers have when the company says your warranty is void because you broke the seal? Because the tech on the phone isn't going to have the power to do anything, he's reading from the binder. (Edit really asking: I'm sure someone here will already know the formal complaint process) /edit

2. (sarcastic) How long before the companies get the law changed de jurie instead of just de facto?

One a la cart solution, but still to complicated for most users, and not yet ubiquitous enough is buying the season of a show as it comes out. I've seen this work with next day or same day availability for the one show I actually wanted to watch through Amazon and or Google Play.

Replying to keep track and or follow your github when/if you post this.

I haven't kept the situational awareness bubble on the whys of today's wars, but generally it is or is supposed to be a case of 1. We need to beat up A to protect B or 2. we are eventually going to fight so lets do it in their yard and not mess up ours.

These are generally morally good reasons to spend blood and treasure
