As a happy Comcast customer, my old ISP still only sells plans up to 100 Mbps and it routes all traffic through a city that’s over 200 miles away.

No, because United employees didn’t beat the passenger up, the police did. That’s not even remotely close to the worst thing that cops have gotten away with.

You are mixing up the different values.

“Meanwhile, scattered reports of **MS Flight Sim 2020’**s bandwidth consumption point toward a more conservative ~100 Mb/s in densely populated photogrammetry areas, such as major cities. Usage in lighter areas could dip as low as 10 Mb/s, though the official Microsoft bandwidth recommendation for that game was 50 Mb/s.”

Flight Sim 2020 had a higher install size and lower bandwidth. Flight Sim 2024 has a lower install size and higher bandwidth requirement. Even if the sustained load isn’t using the maximum bandwidth, it still means that 2024 will use a significant amount of bandwidth such that it may affect customers with data caps.

That’s really good to know. I still think my statement stands true if you exclude cheese and wine, and it’s pretty easy to find vegetarian options for many common desserts.

We’d run out of companies though

As a vegetarian in the US, restaurants here have gotten way better about dietary restrictions over the years. Yes, some places still do mislead, but the vast majority usually ask you and the kitchen about ingredients and accommodate accordingly.

I didn’t know that Secret Service was mandatory for former US Presidents.

Windows is an option

Defcon is a useful resource for networking and learning. It being run by and for good guys doesn’t mean bad guys don’t find the event useful. The vague risk of “getting caught” is probably worth taking, regardless of whether that risk is tangible, especially if they follow proper security practices.

2. How so? Wouldn’t autonomous cars disincentivize car ownership, meaning fewer cars that can be on the road?

I should’ve said “anything math-heavy,” but even then, it seems like switching fields or applications of math requires understanding a new definition of the same symbols, and a lot of that could be avoided with words.

What OP is talking about is readability, so in a situation where you’re taking your own notes and have your own set of defined symbols, full words aren’t necessary.

I personally lost all interest in math because there are way too many opinionated or non-standard symbol definitions

I’ve read enough accounts from both men and women to know that sexual harassment is not taken seriously at many places.

I do agree that it’s a stupid phrase, but the point of it is to say that bad apples ruin the bunch. Police in the US, especially the bad apples, rarely are held accountable.

Have you considered that depression is “hot” because a huge portion of the population no longer have to suppress their feelings?

Police accountability is just the tip of the iceberg, though. A huge issue is the fact that a lot of minority history isn’t taught properly in US schools, and important events that define race relations are completely ignored. Using the term “master” to describe Git branches, for example, is just another way of staying ignorant and insensitive to those events.

I can understand that there are some edge cases where master/slave should still be correct as it is accurate, but for every other case, it’s still better to use a term that is culturally aware and technically relevant, even if it’s a small difference that’s part of a larger cultural shift.

The US may not have invented it, but there are still people in the US who are affected by it today.

Americans care about slavery for the same reason that Germans care about Nazis.

PCP is an incredibly common term in the US.

If they have your records, then you can request a freeze in a variety of ways. Online is just the easiest way to manage all that.

Meth is really tasty
