That's modern politics.

Many 9mm self-defense rounds are subsonic (e.g., 147-grain), so the practicality depends on the bullet design for the application.

I am eternally grateful to Dr. Kurtz for his work on BASIC. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that BASIC was my first foray into programming as a young teen, and it sparked my love for programming. RIP

I'd love a tool like this for PCB design/layout

Because they like to sow division.

I watched the demo for a comment made above, and it looks like the gem can do what you're talking about:

Slightly different approach, but appears to have the same overarching goals: https://github.com/bullet-train-co/magic_test

Driver was previously cited 5 times for speeding in a school zone but was allowed to keep his license?

We have a lot of dumb laws on the books, but somehow we allow demonstrably reckless drivers to keep their license—sad times.

That's what you'd say to discredit people when you don't want the truth to be revealed. Whatever the truth may be.

The magazine chugged along for decades before changing its identity and recipe to appease a small group of non-customers. It's no surprise it's going away.

Yeah, I've used this for the past couple of years and will do so again this year. It's solid.

Yeah, strange behavior in Firefox on Mac.

Roe v. Wade is an emotional sticking point for people on both sides of the issue, but Congress had decades to codify it into law. Instead, lawmakers chose not to do that so they could campaign on the other side wanting to take away 'rights.' SCOTUS overstepped its authority and robbed the people of the typical process that issues take to gain support in the public's mind. Had they not ruled on such a hot-button issue at the time, I believe we'd have laws in support of abortion by now. I also believe it will trend that way in the future.

It's sort of still being defined. There's a rush to develop a universal SAF, but companies can develop blends of alternative fuel sources and get money back from the US government in the process.

They didn't open source Swift out of the gate because they wanted to guide its development according to the features and plans they had for the language. Wanting to have a firm grasp of the language's core features and implementation is reasonable. After all, I believe Lattner was unhappy with some early directions they took with Swift, but it was too late to change anything because libraries and such had already been written. I may be fuzzy on that, but that's what I seem to recall.

Also, I am not an absolutist where free software is concerned. It doesn't make the world worse to release proprietary software. Especially if you have the stated goal of eventually open sourcing it.

So, it's basically the same approach they took with Swift. It makes sense.

Forgive my ignorance, but is it common for there to be a 30-year delay in awarding Nobel Prizes after discoveries are made by scientists?

Did you miss that this article is about the UK?

I thought that was common practice.

It is.

Comparative facts don't bleed—journalism's broken.

If this were true, you'd have hoped the whistleblower would not have been anonymous. There are whistleblower protections, aren't there?

It was fun to watch the livestreams showing the development of these drivers. Amazing work.

Damn, I need to start shopping for a new registrar.

Same. Though, I can't even get it to work.

taxpayers holding 30% of its outstanding stock.

It's always amusing that they frame this as the lowly taxpayer holding stock in a company after the government bails a company out. I've never received the stock certificates, and I certainly don't see any dividends or have the ability to sell my commensurate portion of the stock holdings. The taxpayer pays for the bailouts but does not see any benefit for doing so.

The timing of the investigation has raised eyebrows.

That's a bit of an understatement.

Igor Danchenko, the Steele primary subsource charged with (and acquitted of) lying to the FBI, was paid $220K by the FBI as a confidential human source. This was paid after the FBI knew Danchenko lied to them. As the Durham Investigation proceeded, Durham learned “the FBI proposed making continued future payments to Danchenko, totaling more than $300,000, while [Durham] was actively investigating this matter.” The FBI, in effect, was seeking to influence a key witness who would later face criminal charges.

The FBI’s reasons for paying Danchenko were certainly curious. Interviews with Durham’s office revealed: “the FBI's Executive Assistant Director for National Security, made clear that they were not even able to accurately describe the value or contributions of Danchenko that would justify keeping him open, much less making hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to him.”

I would like to apply for the vacant 'confidential human source' role at the FBI. Unreal.

Like anything else, you may not agree with their argument, but their right to peacefully protest should not be trampled upon by the government.

The stupidest login I've seen to date is the US Treasury's TreasuryDirect website. You can create your account using your password manager that kicks out a secure password, but when you go to log in, you have to use a stupid virtual keyboard using your mouse, so you can't type your password in. You have to use your mouse to click buttons on a virtual keyboard.

Who sold this dumb 'solution' to the government?

edit: I see it's on their list already. Gosh, it's horrible.

I use Soulver every day and definitely recommend it
