I can tell from a number of reports available that basically have no resolutions higher than 1920x1200, when we know there are enough retina displays out there that they should be listed. As to the linked report. It’s hard to discount bias

I don’t care what the count is, you sample is incredibly biased.

Yep the waterway through Pittsford was actually also the original canal but it routed north into the city. The Erie Canal was replaced by the New York Barge canal system which avoided the cities other than NYC and was ironically much larger

What I meant was, since Buffalo already had access to a major waterway it’s rise wasn’t as entirely dependent on it.. ie it had other reasons for being relevant. And are you kidding?? The Erie Canal ran right through the city (likewise Syr

You’re just trolling or you need a map. The Brooklyn bridge is south of the most populated part of Manhattan. Tappan Zee [sic] bridge maybe (that’s at least one arguable line).

Upstate native here. Not sure I’d buy the Chicago narrative at all. Rochester and Syracuse got their economic genesis in large part from the Erie Canal (leading to the NYC RR which terminated in Chicago), Buffalo to a relatively lesser degr

People can do whatever they want with seccomp-bpf obviously, but is it really that uncommon to use it for whitelisting? As for kernel vulnerabilities being a weakness of sandboxing in general, if anyone still doesn’t understand that by now

This solves what, exactly? We already know bill sponsors, the provenance of bills is generally not a problem in the US. All the regulatory capture and pork usually happens in the open already.

Still say “sophisticated reverse heat engine” is a needlessly verbose way of saying refrigerator or heat pump. Also how sophisticated is something that is mass produced for devices sold under $100 in every big box retailer.

This story has a major plot hole. If you were so certain the biopsy was unnecessary and harmful, why didn’t you just refuse it, seek a second opinion (especially as you evidently are portraying the doctor as a villian). Also your last parag

Windows ME really doesn’t belong in this list. Comparing the NT lineage to the non NT lineage is silly IMHO. ME was a successor of 98, not 2000.
