RDP8 also supports RDP over UDP which further enhances performance in high-latency scenarios. I'm assuming that is also not factored into that claim either

The moderators do not control this process. There is an automated serial vote detection algorithm.

AFAIK, under no circumstances can a Stack Exchange moderator reverse a vote.

More info on the serial vote detection process here: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/126829/what-is-seria...

edit: I just looked at your profile and the deletion/banning of a user account will remove rep too, so I suppose in that manner a mod can "reverse" voting, but it's all or nothing. They have no way to flip individual votes.

edit2: Moderators are not employees of Stack Exchange, they are volunteers elected by the community. Of course employees can change whatever they feel like. This discussion is about the moderators.

Nope, they absolutely cannot. If you really doubt this, ask one in chat.

Moderators cannot even see who voted a question up or down, never mind reversing votes.

Mods can't reverse up/down votes

Airport restaurants only use plastic cutlery when they are located past the security checkpoint.

Edit: US airports. Since this article was about a US airline operating in the United States I thought that went without saying.

Yes.

But there are unicorns on Stack Overflow.

What exactly is the tax benefit to giving away almost all of your wealth? Tax loopholes reduce your taxable income, which lowers your tax liability. I don't see how you can come out ahead giving away almost everything. Can you explain what you think he is exploiting and what the benefit could be?

What part of the article do you have a problem with?

This is misleading. 34 new cities in 9 metro areas are being evaluated for Google Fiber. This is far different than Google planning on delivering fiber to all 34 of these cities, like the article makes it seem.

Here is the information directly from Google: https://fiber.google.com/newcities/

The HN crowd baffles me sometimes. It seems to move between "This person is too old. They are disconnected from today's generation," and "This person is too young. They don't have the experience to share meaningful anecdotes."

At what age would this person's comments hold water? 25? 28? 30?

> How much overlap is there with Whatsapp?

This is the question. Apparently a sizeable number of teenagers and pre-teens have zero interest in FB. It's where their parents post cat pictures and make dinner plans. From what I understand, Kik, WhatsApp, and Snapchat are all what's "cool" with the under 18 crowd. This move may ensure that FB still has sufficient data to mine on this demographic in the future.

There are definite "winning" strategies - like acquiring a monopoly on "jail row" and mortgaging all other properties to build it up as soon as possible. But does altering a game so that a child doesn't have to see the optimal moves from someone else do anything positive for anyone playing the game?

Monopoly only drags on for hours if you play by silly house rules like $400 for landing on Go, money for landing on Free Parking, or not requiring an auction when passing on purchasing a property. All of these common house rules artificially extend the game by either injecting cash into the game or slowing the acquisition of property.

A vanilla game of 4 player monopoly should take no more than an hour.

The prices that were quoted in the article are promotional prices for the first year of service to a new subscriber. It increases greatly (sometimes even doubles based on the package) after that first year.

The NFL is an entity which represents the interests of the teams' owners. The commissioner is appointed by the owners. It bargains collectively against the Player's Union and handles things like national television deals, officiating, and scheduling.

The teams themselves are where almost all of the money is. Each one operates like an independent entity that has to follow rules set forth by the NFL. This is why they're called "franchises." The NFL does gross millions of dollars each year, but it's a tiny fraction compared to each individual team and the teams themselves do not enjoy the same tax status that the league itself has.

I think the problem is that asking everyone that's ever messaged you from an iOS device to modify something on their handset every time someone in their contacts switches platforms isn't a reasonable request.

If someone had a Mercedes and only drove it twice a year, is it OK for someone to steal it?

Please, GB not Gb.

The capacity isn't exciting, the fact that it's DDR4 is.

> If the companies didn't want you to do this, then they wouldn't let you do this.

This is the kind of behavior and attitude that ruin nice things for everyone.

My car can go 100 MPH in a residential neighborhood, did the manufacturer intend for it to be used like that just because it can?

This is silly. It's an XP-era clone. The only people that are hanging on to XP are people that are trapped in an echo chamber of folks that don't want to upgrade, or are encumbered by some legacy LOB application.

There's no way that a shop looking for funding via kickstarter can match the feature development of Microsoft. If you want to disrupt Microsoft, it's sure as shit not going to come from a clone of their 11 year old OS which is 4 versions back now.

It actually comes with 16MB.

Also, it's MB not Mb. The difference between the two is a factor of 8.

There are some misconceptions here. RHEL does not cost a cent. Support for RHEL, which includes security fixes through the package manager costs money. Security fixes and other patches and updates are still released as source by RHEL, as required by the GPL.

If you really wanted, you could run RHEL with no subscription and compile your own updates from the source that they release. In practice, this is next to impossible to maintain as an individual, but it is exactly what CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other related EL distributions do. They remove the RHEL trademarked logos, compile the code released by RHEL, and make it available through a generic yum repository that doesn't require a RHEL subscription.

So, in short, RHEL doesn't cost money, support and packaged patches do. CentOS gives you binary and version compatibility of RHEL without the cost.

There was a more detailed account floating around. Essentially, each battery cell is in its own fire-resistant compartment. The fire crew that responded to the call used procedures that are standard for other electric cars, but are not proper for a Tesla. Essentially, they "punched through" these compartments in an attempt to extinguish the fire, which actually exacerbated the problem by allowing the fire to spread to other battery cells.

When the fire department arrived, they observed standard procedure, which was to gain access to the source of the fire by puncturing holes in the top of the battery's protective metal plate and applying water. For the Model S lithium-ion battery, it was correct to apply water (vs. dry chemical extinguisher), but not to puncture the metal firewall, as the newly created holes allowed the flames to then vent upwards into the front trunk section of the Model S. Nonetheless, a combination of water followed by dry chemical extinguisher quickly brought the fire to an end.

I saw a Nissan in fire a month or so ago outside of Philly. Car fires happen regardless of engine technology.

Better solution: require VPN connectivity and don't expose SSH on any port to the public Internet.

Running services on non-standard ports will make the next admin that takes over this server want to track you down and smother you in your sleep.

You can absolutely use time machine backups with a different Mac, the process is slightly different but still works.

Migrating a Time Machine backup to a new Mac

When you buy a new Mac, you can transfer all of your applications, files, settings, and other information from a Time Machine backup you've already made.

You will be asked if you want to transfer files when you start up your new Mac for the first time. Or, you can use the Migration Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities).

After Migration Assistant completes the transfer and you select your existing Time Machine backup drive, you will be prompted with "Inherit Backup History". Once selected you will be able to continue to use your existing Time Machine backup on your new Mac.

A UNC always references a network path. You can use \\?\ to reference a network path, but it can also be used to reference a local path too. \\?\ is not always used to represent a UNC.

\\?\ is an extended-length path.
