I agree, in the grand scheme of things it's really nothing. It doesn't really bother me that someone somewhere published some nonsense. It only irks me the persistent defense of these obviously wrong decisions. Just admit you fucked up and move on. If the publishers did just that it would long have been forgotten.
I suspect your case is not that the packets are simply dropped but that the TCP connections are reset. Lookup your TCP stack statistics to verify. If that's the case try to find out if the resets are made by your side, the source or the intermediaries.
Because they understand that being a sociopath is considered to be 'bad' by the society. What's so difficult to understand? Liars and pretty everybody also think that being good at lying is an advantage but admitting to being a liar is simply a bad tactic
Geee... I thought it was crystal clear that when I stated 'a sociopath would never admit to being a sociopath' it was about a confession where you genuinely admit you are behaving badly out of your sense of remorse. Any kind of 'tactical' admissions simply don't count. It's like with pathological liars, they too, can sometimes admit to some lies but still maintain that they are 'generally' honest.
Just a few years ago HTTP2 was the best thing since sliced bread and any criticism was silenced. This begs the question if HTTP2 was so great then why did they come up with HTTP3? SACK is not a silver bullet because when you have high latency high loss link then nothing really helps. The difference is that HTTP2/3 folks like to deny reality and claim that they can do better when in fact they can't
The Sokal article wasn't retracted and the editors still claim that they didn't make any mistake allowing his nonsense to be published. Can you see the difference?
It doesn't matter what issue they put his nonsense in. What matters is that his article was designed on purpose to look 'intellectual' but was made up of total nonsense to prove his point that the editors will allow any junk to be published as long as it looks 'sophisticated'. And he indeed proved it. That's it. They would be better off just admitting that they made a mistake but noo, instead they pretend that nothing happened and it is all just a misunderstanding. And you completely unnecessary carry water for them.
I'd like to see an example on the same level as the Sokal article. That is a completely made up gibberish that is full of difficult words to look complicated and sophisticated.
Yeah, right. Once caught with an egg on their face they just say "it's a prank bro!".
Ecyclopedia.com take on what the so called Science Wars was:
"The term science wars refers to a complex of discussions about the way the sciences are related to or incarnated in culture, history, and practice. These discussions came to be called a "war" in the mid 1990s because of a strong polarization over questions of legitimacy and authority."
Does it sound to you like some tongue-in-cheek discussions and joking around?
Lame cop out. The article was a complete nonsense. It wasnt something like an unortodox view of things or passable article that missed some citations or whatnot. It would be like Nature publishing ramblings of some schizofrenic and when called out on it explaining that it wasnt peer reviewed
Typical residential air conditioning is using 4kW of power. So your 40MJ of energy would be used up in 40MJ/4kW=10000 seconds, or just 3 hours. And its only theoretical, because it assumes 100% efficiency in storage and conversion
Sure they can. They simply 'forget' that there was a camera there but when a dispute comes up then they suddenly realize that actually there was one and surprisingly there is relevant footage, too.
I think metal work started with gold. It naturally occurs in a 'ready for use' form of nuggets. You don't need to melt anything and nuggets are very soft and easy to form into any desirable shape. Most likely it's initial use was the jewelry because shiny!
< you might end up earning less after tax as a manager than you did as an engineer as your salary increase puts you in a new tax bracket
That's not how progressive taxation and the tax brackets work. In reality you pay higher tax rate only on the amount above the threshold. So if, say, the tax rate is 20% on the income up to $10000 and 30% above it then if you earn $30000 you pay 20% on the $10000 and 30% only on the remaining $20000. You don't pay 30% on the whole $30000. Why is this misconception is so common?
As you say it yourself it happens sometimes. So they can have these one-on-ones in a conference room, can't they? And yet, somehow they need their private offices at all times. Strange.. :)
There is no law that states postdated check can only be cashed after the specified date. Some banks will happily cash your check immediately and simply ignore the future date on the check. There is no guarantee that you can always cache a check either. A check can be cancelled by the issuer at any time by making so called 'stop payment order'.
Exactly. It's much, much easier to get promoted if you brown-nose or schmooze with your boss. If anything, being the hardest working man in a team is a sure way to not get a promotion because you are too valuable as a work-horse
