Most credit cards in the UK at least (same cap) have no standard account fee. Those that do come with other perks / beyond the 'world elite' etc side Mastercard/visa aren't seeing that money - its going to the issui

A fork can be many things. I've maintained in house forks of major code bases with a handful of minor code changes while we've tried to convince upstream to accept them.

I'm not saying otherwise - my comment reaffirms this. There are two separate things going on here - - You can buy a reasonable wheelchair for moving people relatively short distances across flat surfaces for less than $1000. E.g those

Except the wheelchairs used in hospitals are to push patients short distances across hard flat floors.

You just need to ask Chat GPT then ask Gemini and CoPilot if the answer is right.

We've gone over a month without burning any coal, but then the Ukraine war happened and we were at risks of blackouts. That 1.1% is likely heavily concentrated as a much higher percentage on a relatively small days over winter and&#x2F

It's not a case of can they be. It's a case of can they cheaply be. The camera app on your smartphone likely searches for them by default. That means feeding at least 1-2 frames a second through it. Basic pattern matching for the

Even just crashing the device has significant impact. A bank robber, terrorist or totalitarian state could benefit significantly from bringing down all cell phones in the area for a few minutes (or even just crashing them in a loop as they

We're talking something the size of a cell phone that can be powered for days on a battery. Hide it near the cell tower and leave. It takes specialist equipment to locate it so by the time someone has figured out what has happened and

The only thing I can think of is if it was widespread it would be a security risk. Not exactly difficult to broadcast a stronger signal with the wrong time. Similar problem with GPS being used for clock sync in mobile/cell base station

"We recommended you went for X and listed SMS security problems as the reasons - here is the email chain" You need to cover your ass, but you don't want to actively push back and risk losing the sale.

There are a huge number of app based solutions. Enterprises are against them because they can't expect their employees to install 20 different apps for 20 different vendors + the cost of reviewing and onboarding them. So you either nee

Yes, which is what I said. But now you have a released lock and a client that thinks they have the lock.

by cbzoiav 3y ago
As the other guy says the lock is released by the server. If you don't have a mechanism to release it after a timeout, what happens if a node fails?

The customer upset staff so they were cut off to protect staff welfare is a valid business reason.

Or even the older setups where you had a relatively small battery in the device and a bigger wedge shaped battery that could clip on the bottom. Or there were a couple of devices with dual battery slots so you could hot swap. Then on odd oc

Not at all. You get web apps, services for providing them etc. As far as I'm aware ICANN/Google (owners) put no restrictions on use case. There is a restriction requiring TLS.

I'd view it more similarly to the whole Reddit fiasco. There is a valid problem. The business has tried to solve that immediate problem without worrying about the knock on. In this case blocking large funded competitors ripping off you

From my comment. > HTTP/2 reduces the problem with multiplexing but it still doesn't go away Even multiplexed you hit initial TCP window limits + all the response header overhead. And many cases you have dependencies - need the

by cbzoiav 3y ago
Multiplexing isn't a golden bullet. You still hit limits. The initial TCP window is usually around 4KB so you have the handshake SYN RT (+ another two for TLS) followed by at most 4KB of request data. Cookies, auth headers etc. can mak

You dropped the API calls bit. As it stands your site has to go through a TCP handshake then send the request and get the start of the response - at minimum that's 2 round trips. It then gets the JS and CSS tags in the head of the HTML

by cbzoiav 3y ago
Size isn't even the worst of it. It's number of requests. You need to go through a TCP handshake for every connection you open. You can reuse the connection but that means queuing requests and hitting the latency as a multiplier.

So release a handful of budget models and support them well instead of 60+ per year.

I'm on a pixel 6A. It cost me under £200 factoring in the trade in deal that let me trade in a 10 year old phone (if you don't have one eBay one for £5). And there are plenty of reasonable smart phones for less than £100 these day

The price isn't listed because it depends on bulk, anticipated support and support contracts (ongoing revenue), anticipated future sales etc. If an independent shop wants 2 cameras you charge them enough to make a profit on the overhea

Depends how you phrase it. "Jessica is the reason we hired you - she says you'll be great here and when she says that she's always right" technically says "we weren't going to hire you", but also "we

Challenger Deep is exponentially more difficult than this - 10km Vs 4km so over double the pressure. While it may still be an entirely unsuitable material for 4km, not being suitable for 10km doesn't prove that.
