SABRE is pretty good compared to the card file it replaced.
It's just a heavy metal umlaut for someone who could have written "state-level" or "country". Like forcing the word "geopolitical". I would not get too worked up about it.
The more recent US hegemony in radio communications technology was held by pioneering Bell Labs work leading to patented implementation as 3G standards. I think the US rested on the laurels of those patents for too…
Won't errors due to cosmic rays be an increasing issue at these process sizes?
My bank just said that there was "no error" when I did this after Amazon failed to deliver something last year. I imagine that Amazon makes up a good portion of their chargeback complaints now. Separately, I had my bank…
On a printed receipt at a restaurant, I once saw suggested tip percentages where the corresponding currency amount was greatly inflated and nowhere near the actual percentage.
There is a heater for the vidicon which had to be shut off due to power budget. This heater had been on since launch. After being switched off, turning on this heater back on, or the vidicon's cathode filament (itself a…
It also has a vidicon tube for gathering images, although that can no longer be switched on.
You have to be logged in, so you can also see a register of who has browsed your own tax returns. I once saw that somebody I had dated 7-8 years prior had checked up on mine. It was a hoot.
Growing tensions over whether US employers interview process represents a good-faith effort to hire
Where does 2.73 come from?
This cannot be the "the first time such rock-and-roll acoustic engineering has been employed in a church" if it is referring to digital delays. The other weekend I visited a gospel church which used maybe ten dbx…
'92 Olympic Dream Team (US) in basketball. Asking anybody to play against them was pushing the boundaries of ethics.
Apollo 11 command module computer did receive a patch from Houston to the running executive in core memory while in flight to the moon.
UFOs as such are as American as Elvis. Foreign spies can waste their time figuring out how much somebody has read into The X-Files. In our society, we can openly wonder about these things with a sense of humor. Imagine…
KDE5 Plasma is superb. I wish that it ran on OpenBSD. However I do not wish to run Wayland, D-Bus, or any sound server on an OpenBSD installation. So, I wish that it were light as twm, fvwm or OpenStep.
I saw a UFO maybe 12-13 years ago. It did not look like anything a human would design, even with advanced technology. It looked something like the oblong silver blob in The Flight of the Navigator, just hanging there,…
I think that centralization of power is a spurious correlation. It may be part of the equation, but there is more to it. Norway has a single national police organization which extends the local level. It is…
I do not consider logging into iCloud to be part of "finishing setting up" my computer. In fact, I would like more out-of-the-box visibility into the phoning-home that Mac OS X performs. With Xcode specifically, I think…
I forgot Xcode, it should be included, plus all the Dictionary files, considering how much storage is on even the base configurations being sold.
It's called a beat. The very greatest musicians have struggled with it. Try going to a piano, and playing two notes, black or white, that are immediately next to each other at the same time (a half-step interval).…
Counterpoint: Their job is to protect with the highest professionalism, indeed with their life, a democratically-elected person whose opinions and actions they may personally disagree with or even resent. It is a very…
HN does not let me edit now, but I regret using the derogatory term "keyboard nazi", lest somebody take it as a challenge to prove they are more than that. Disaffected people have largely the same insecurities as…
What is objective about a law? It still comes down to judgment calls. First Amendment aside, I fear that restricting speech would result in a backlash from Neo-Nazi types, or worse, a national situation like The Gulag…
We really do not have a sense of these things. We are often overconfident in our limited senses. I was being poisoned by carbon monoxide from my oven and did not realize it until it was too late. I told myself "it…
