poor states with lower average income will spend a higher percentage of income

But the graphic uses an absolute USD value of 1000, so percentage of income isn’t represented. It seems more like the big ass trucks are an issue in more swaths of the great plains than just in Texas.

I wonder how betrayed the people in the Appalachian feel when their supposed “own” Vance stood for this.

They are hardly even in the US market. Only via Murena with their e/OS/.

Those are both way more useful than exploiting a lazy coder’s fuckup

I never said social engineering, physical breaching, exerting force on people, and other ways of compromising systems weren’t useful. They just aren’t hacking to me, otherwise the term is too broad to be very useful.

You’re free to come up with your own definition, I was asked to define it and that’s my best shot for now.

You know my first instinct wast to reply with: “No.”

Maybe I should have stuck with that. I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

I’d start with the following, and refine if necessary:

“Gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer resource by technical means.”

• Port scanning --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained*
• Using default passwords that weren’t changed --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected*
• Sending spam --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained
• Beating the admin with a wrench until he tells you the key --> Not hacking because it’s not by technical means.
• Accessing teacher SSN’s published on the state website in the HTML --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected, and on the contrary was actively published**
• Distributed denial of service attack --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained

* Those first two actually happened in 2001 here in Switzerland when the WEF visitors list was on a database server with default password, they had to let a guy (David S.) go free
** The governor and his idiot troupe eventually stopped their grandstanding and didn’t file charges against Josh Renaud of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, luckily

I haven’t heard of a firewall failing open when overwhelmed yet. Usually quite the opposite, a flood disables access to more than just the targeted device, when the state table overflows.

But maybe there is a different mechanism I’m not aware of. How would the DDoS change the properties of ingress?

DDoS is not hacking

Ist das beim TÜV auch gestaffelt, dass Neuwagen noch nicht so oft müssen?

Bei uns in der Schweiz ist es typischerweise so 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2 Jahre. Aber wie immer sind wir zu föderalistisch, als dass es einheitlich wäre

They do actually burn gas locally, I wasn’t trying to dispute that part. It has become a political discussion in Memphis. Apparently they wanted to start operations on turbines before the grid access was ready.

The linked video is a bit unclear to me. The don’t explain the modes well. Mostly it seems to just show heat. According to the description it’s a Teledyne FLIR G620, which should be able to detect Methane and other VOCs. But it’s not clear to me how we are supposed to distinguish hot rising CO2 and H2O from any potentially leaking Methane, in those pictures.

though you’d need to supply power

Go for really old ones with the crank handle for ringing. Like from army surplus and you don’t need the power :-)

We played around with these for a day in the army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldtelefon_50 when you crank the handle while your friend is still putting down the line you can shock them.

6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual

I am not a computer science major, I studied linguistics.

We’re not falling for your deceit, Noam Chomsky. You probably used some context-free grammar to hack the website.

it’s much easier to just substract 2 from 2000, “IIMM” duh!

For anyone wondering why this is wrong, there are two reasons:

1. The roman numeral system only traditionally contains subtractions from the next higher five- and tenfold symbol. So you can subtract I from V and X, X from L and C, C from D and M

2. The subtractions only generally allowed one symbol to be subtracted, with a few notable exceptions like XIIX for 18 and XXIIX for 28

Given 4/6 x > 5/6 y therefore x > 5/4 y

Marty’s Pizza must have been more than a quarter larger than Luis’. The kid is exactly right.

And the teacher is not flexible enough to engage outside their expectations for how the question was supposed to be answered.

Clearly the expectation was for the kids to take the unstated assumption that the two pizzas were of the same size, and reject the premise as unreasonable (note the heading “Reasonableness”).

In games these categories of audio are calculated and mixed locally in real time, for movies they are mixed down to a single track and compressed ahead of time.

These days having three audio tracks would not be a significant problem, compared to the high resolution video track. But I guess the industry never changed.

I feel like the real issue, is that we only get one volume bar. If it was normal to define both the minimal and maximal volume setting and have the players stretch the given dynamic range into that then it would all be good.

I mean, it depends a bit. Toulouse to Rostock would be an annoying train ride. But Düsseldorf or Frankfurt to Paris would be kind of stupid to fly.

I don’t remember Fern being sexualized or the camera lingering weirdly… Only that they give Frieren the typical chest envy, and have Fern fill out quite well in contrast, but that’s played as a joke I’d say.

But it could also be that I’m desensitized, having seen so much actual straight up fan service by now.
