I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said. Automattic make WordPress, Automattic want WP Engine to pay for part of the development cost and are making life difficulty for WP Engine until they do. WP Engines only recourse is to fork WordPress into their own project, but that then means they would have to pay for the development of their fork.

Automattic could decided to take their money and liquidate the business tomorrow, nobody can force them to continue developing WordPress. GPL does not entitle you to continued support from the developer.

Re: A Mystery to Me

Amazon won because they didn't make a profit, they focused on getting rid of the barriers that make people not want to shop online. For example allowing you to return goods though simply pressing buttons on the website instead of having to email to request a return form. Only once they had market dominance did they start making a profit.

Re: HDR

It hooks directly into Direct3D so that it can access the game's internal data, then it uses machine learning to map the internal colour and luma information to HDR.

Re: Question.

The safety record per flight hour per person is better than most military helicopters including the black hawk.

Re: Why?

It means that the satellite will overfly the same place at the same time of day, so for weather data you can make better comparisons.

Re: The other side....

"as this is not the correct way to treat people"

There are a few cases when it is appropriate, I saw somebody try to clear a jam from a still running industrial metal shredder by climbing into it and trying to dislodge the jam, the foreman spotted and hit the e-stop and then tore into the guy.

Another case of appropriate shouting was when some guy cut off a lockout tag and turn the breakers back on, this blew the main fuse as the sparky had also connected the live to earth as a secondary safety, the sparky had words to say to the moron who remove the tag.

Not the AC you asked but ARM is more locked down, which is why if you want to install Linux on an ARM device you need a custom image made for that device whilst with x86 you can just use a generic installer.

ARM and RISC-V hand a lot more control over to the device manurfacturer.

Re: an email that appears to be a legal notice

Nope, they just send you an email saying "You have a new message in your account" then you need to login to their site to read it.

"Does anyone know if this is an actual issue?"

I know about 10 years ago all the schools near me had to get new carparks and dropoff zones as the heavy SUVs were tearing up the tarmac.

Re: What a shame

Most larger companies renewed their licences up to the maximum right before the price hike (5 years), so I don't think any are paying the new price yet. Companies have until 2028 to migrate before they are hit with the new price of ~£150 per core per month.

Re: "Carr wants to revisit Section 230

New accounts on the Reg need their comments manually approved, and only when you are 'trusted' do they let your comments automatically be shown, so the reg is acting as a publisher for comments since it pre-moderates comments. This is different from what Section 230 covers where sites do moderation after the comments has been made.

Re: Or a break-wire sensor on the valve

That only really works for things like phone or cars which can then send a warning. The random power banks that people buy from china are not going to add a speaker to give a warning.

Re: Vaguely surprised …

You can use MDM to capture and retain iMessages and RCS messages.

Re: Surely that shouldn't be possible ?

He was part of the IT team managing the crypto systems used to store the data, since he had access to the system and the crypto keys he would have been able to access all the data stored.

Re: What does an NPU actually do?

It's the same as Direct3D where each GPU needs a Direct3D driver, with DirectML each NPU will need a DirectML driver.

It's not a mitigation, by 10 we expect kids to know not to murder people, if they don't then they need to be removed from society for the protection of others. That they access content that was inappropriate for them and it damaged them is even more reason to lock them up since they are already damaged and a danger to others.

The priority must be:

1. The protection of the public. Why should people who have already demonstrated that they are willing to kill people be given the opportunity to do so again.

2. Punishment of the perpetrator and justice for the victim.

3. Rehabilitation if possible.

Re: "external cameras [..] provide a view for the enclosed operator"

For a real world example.

During the development of the 737 Max the simulations shows a nose up tendency for the aircraft, this is why MCAS was introduced.

But Boeing test pilots never reported this nose up tendency during test flights, and both the FAA and EASA test pilots have said that there is no noticeable nose up tendency with the 737 Max.

MCAS exists because Boeing managers trusted simulations more than the options of test pilots.

Re: First world problems

Why are you using the RAID from your BIOS? You should be using filesystem level RAID as supported by any modern filesystem or something like mdadm.

Re: Profit

Firefox is already made by the for profit Mozilla Corporation who are owned by the Mozilla Foundation.

Re: (sigh)

Is this a jobs program or a national security program?

If it is a national security program then why does it matter.

Re: How about approval only if...

This is what I have been saying for years, having multiple different networks just adds both infrastructure inefficiency and spectrum efficiency.

Re: Very Long Indeterminate Wait

Around that time ATI were also releasing VLIW GPUs that were twice as fast for lower power draw than Nvidia GPUs, and yet only matched them in actual game performance due to how complex it was to write optimised drivers for VLIW.

Re: damn shame

It's a package so I don't have an exact breakdown.

There will be a 850MW burner at Teesside and a hydrogen gas production plant (splitting natgas to make hydrogen and CO2) at Merseyside, the government is also going to be paying for the electricity used for the carbon capture, the total cost to the government will be £21.7Bn.

Private investors are also putting in another £8bn.

Next gen tanks will likely be lighter armoured, like the new M10 Booker the US has introduced. In the UK the Boxer 120mm would be a good option.

In Ukraine the Bradley IFV is proving to be one the most effective armoured vehicles, it's 25mm chain gun will disable a tank at range (destroy optics and sensors, and jam the turret ring by getting slugs lodged into it) and penetrate the armor in close quarters.

An modern ATGM will always disable a tank these days, so it only needs to be resistant to light arms fire and small explosives.

Re: I agree

Same as what currently happens, the number of X-Rays your hospital can interpret per day drops, currently a single radiologist cannot interpret an X-Ray on their own.

Also it takes far longer to interpret an X-Ray than to take one, so you won't be making any of them redundant, you will just be increasing how many X-Rays you can do per day.

Re: "that speed up the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP),"

Once you get to the level or elite athletes it is not their muscles that fatigue first, performing at that level puts an enormous stress on your nervous system and it is your nervous system that fatigues first.

Re: Think first...

Similar story to this:

https://archive.is/4K5XK

(Original page is now down - http://maritimeaccident.org/library2/the-case-of-the-rusty-assassin/)

The story is about people falling unconscious after entering an anchor hold as all the oxygen had been removed from the air due to the rusting of the metal.

It doesn't even need to be noxious gases, if you breath air with no O2 then the O2 in your blood will defuse out back into your lungs, one or two breaths and you are out.

Re: Singing the "Microsoft Blues"

Because shitty device vendors don't properly implement the specification and only write their firmware to just about work with what the current version of Windows uses. Then when Windows decides to start using another feature of the spec to increase performance the shitty firmware on the drive craps out.

"STEP 1 : BAN SHORT SELLING"

Shorting is an essential part of keeping the market honest and regulated.

"The rest of the world uses 100km."

The space agencies in the rest of the world uses 80km, rounded down from the 83.8 km that Karman calculated.

Only the FAI (a sports body) use 100km

Re: WD has form

Stores devices use a generic driver, when they have bugs it is in the firmware.

Re: They can afford it, and we need them to...

Yeah the fixed rate that will be paid for power from Hinkle Point C that people were complaining was too high... is now lower than current market rates.

Re: Outdated

One of the big ones was lottery tickets, those sales were handled with a different machine which was connected to the Horizon POS. The connection would keep dropping and cause the messages to get re-sent, but Horizon would count them as multiple sales even though they had the same sale number.
