Some of the loitering munitions drones are doing exactly that.

Switchblade 600 has a shaded charge based on a Javelin one.

It does say his legs were severed. So probably massive bleeding immediately and with the damage to the car, there was no chance to save him.

I would wager that he chose it due to the name being simple and "unused". Kawasaki is a motorcycle brand so it would be slightly confusing, Akihabara is quite long and harder to pronounce.

You vastly overestimate the amount of western help to Ukraine. Sure there is some equipment that reached the front but that is mostly handheld weapons (anti tank or short range anti air). These types of weapons usually do not win was but increase amount of attrition to the opposing side.

Russia's "victories" are extremely small and came at a great cost. They cannot win the war by having these type of battles with these losses. It is just not sustainable. Whatever metric you use.

Their plan was to topple the government and expectation was that most Ukrainian army will surrender due to fear of mighty Russian army. Once that failed they have entered into a conflict they cannot win conventionally and that will cause them massive damage for little to no gains. Whole operation in the north of the country is exactly the model how this war is going for Russia.

And the worst thing for Russia is that they are still not "all out". They are not mobilizing hundreds of thousands of conscripts from previous years so it's likely that soon they will be outnumbered on the battlefield. Once Ukraine brings up their reservists and new volunteer units to the battlefield it is to be expected that the tide turns against Russia.

Ukraine right now is trading time and small villages for attrition against Russian forces. It is working very well. Similar game plan was used to great success around Kyiv, Sumy and Chernihiv.

I'm quite intrigued by his system of writing. It's nothing magical, he works on it hard and the process is roughly connecting various ideas together. He finds interesting ideas and write them down and then when the time is to go for a book, he tries to find ideas and concepts that work together. He then writes a rough outline of a book and then goes and fills in chapters after which he gets multiple reviews/revisions before it goes out.

Sounds almost like getting a rough requirements or ideas, then writing a more detailed specification and finally fully developed software that goes through rigorous testing and refinement.

It's quite different to how I thought most writers write. My assumption it's more straightforward with little preparation.

I enjoy reading a lot. However I do not really have complicated imagery in my mind when I do.

Since learning of aphantasia I've had several moments when I am at the edge of falling asleep where I can see clear visual images. I do not have control over the images and they usually relate to something that happened during the day. It's fascinating to see as I usually can't visualize almost anything - the way I would describe it is that I can "talk" about what I see in my mind, kind of like I have a text-based game in my mind and when I am visualizing, I am describing what I want to see, not what I am seeing. There are no details that I notice without consciously bringing in.

Online shopping at the more secure sites.

Agreed, but it depends a lot on how much you value your time.

When starting out, you are usually not going to be low balled as you are cheap. Your time is not worth as much either and you are trying to climb the ladder.

Once you get to proper level of compensation, your time becomes much more valuable and the number of offers that meet that level of compensation become much lower. This means your best call is probably to move to talking money first.

Of course, you might miss out on some opportunities but you'll save a lot of time.

They were fired because of WebSphere?

The quote I mentioned is just a quote, but it points to a part of a reason. If you are a CEO or a high level executive of a big company, going with IBM or Oracle is a safe bet. It's not very likely you will be blamed for failures of IBM or Oracle. It may be a money hole and bad for business but it's a much safer bet than going with some smaller vendor instead of big name vendors.

"Nobody ever got fired for buying an IBM."

Given your experience, it should be extremely simple, especially if all you want to do is drop NginX infront of your NodeJS server. All you have to do is install it and add a line in the config that points traffic to your NodeJs instance. Btw often times people use Nginx as SSL termination and use http to the backend (if on the same instance).

Let's Encrypt can automatically add lines to the nginx config that enable SSL, but in some cases it doesn't work properly and the config is malformed. In any case not hard to fix.

I've read an article making that exact point. I've tried finding it but no luck.

Essentially point was that Lego was scared of building/allowing a game that allowed "free blocks" as their whole business was selling blocks for money. It seems very short sighted but as any legacy business they tend to fall into that trap.

This is why they allowed various games that utilize block as a art style, but there were not many building games.

But it doesn't stop us from using trains that get broken into? I doubt it is an important reason. Plus, driverless lorry can just keep on driving to their destination or a safe refueling yard.

Thank you. I'd say that is very convincing, especially with him walking about on 16, 17th and 18th.

When scanning a QR code, is the date visible anywhere on the page? I am trying to guess whether someone just edited a PDF with a different date (might explain why they chose 16.12 - you need to change a single number). Alternative would require someone back dating a test in the system.

In any case, not a good look for Djokovic.

Someone plotted test result IDs and times and the outlier is Djokovic's positive test - https://twitter.com/msuvakov/status/1481018537368035330

From the whole timeline, it would look to me as someone created a later test result that they backdated for him to be able to apply for a Visa. This would explain why Djokovic was out in public at the time he was apparently positive (I doubt he would have public appearances after a day after a positive test) and it would explain the test result ID discrepancy.

It could also explain why the positive test result was generated on 26th and the negative one on 22nd.

You need to be on the venues IP/WiFi. If the staff uses the same WiFi they will be banned as well.

The name of the institution that conducted the test is on the test result. It's a different one but I don't know if they would constitute private or public and how it works in Serbia.

In my case since I work B2B and my clients are mostly B2B as well then VAT is not really cost to the other side. They just subtract VAT they pay to me from the VAT they need to pay.

VAT is a problem if you work with end users directly, they can't "subtract" it like that.

I'm not from Bulgaria but I think what was said is that you depending on profitability of your company you can pay out a part of the profit as a dividend (using the lower tax rate until the cutoff) and then the rest as a salary.

It's not one or the other. As a company owner you can use both the dividend and pay yourself a salary.

You can drive it but where can you see the speed? (I am talking about Model 3)

They are asking user to use the passenger seat control which is hard to reach if you are in the driving seat.

Now a real catch would be to get a B21 raider or some other prototype/secret airplane.

There were a couple of sightings of it - usually it was so high that it's hard to be sure but it looked different enough to B2.

That graphic is quite bad.

Not all markers follow the same logic. For the "Terry's Gate" the white line seems to point to the location of the gate, while when showing homes they do not point to homes but use the icon to designate location.

Depending on what they used for TWRA Camera the camera may or may not be located on the property. I am leaning toward not on the property as there is no real reason why they would point outside of the property with the white line unless they wanted to show where it actually was.

The way it works for me (I can't visualize like that), it's like I am writing a story. I can say I see a tiger, then think about it and write down more details but I am always consciously adding stuff to the tiger. If I want details about number of stripes, I need to think about it and then "write" it. Never do I see something I am not consciously forming.

Well, I did have a strange experience couple of nights ago. I was falling asleep and I saw something similar to a "movie" in my vision. It was a highly sped up simulator game I played, but it was quite vivid for me.

Am I understanding this correctly. You are vulnerable if you log user input, for example especially if it is on a public facing API.

Next time go to your bank and charge back.

The scientist that found this potential planet in the old data did calculate the location where the planet should be and provided it in his article.

I'm sure there will be follow up studies and some telescopes will be pointing.

I doubt the movement pattern of Roomba you observed is to make it feel alive.

Early Roombas had no sensors so they implemented randomization in movement and bounces to allow it to cover the room. With newer models they received sensors and started to clean in straight lines - depending on the manufacturer it may be first around the edges and then straight. Similar to how a human would mow a lawn.

Explanation that they are adapting it as a feature film instead of a limited series because they want to provide more breadth feels disingenuous. Limited series should provide more screentime than a movie.

Also I feel that a tv show would work better - with all the flashbacks you need to have.

I've read the books but so long ago I forgot almost all about it (I remember the sandworms and that I liked it).

What did you feel left behind about?
