Not a noise standard, which would make sense. A speed limit.

Is enforcing a perceived noise, or even a measured decibel limit on the ground even realistic? It would be difficult to investigate reported infractions unless they're consistently coming from a scheduled route, because the noise level on the ground depends on more than just the plane. "Supersonic jets that don't have a lot of headroom on the noise limits in a dry, flat desert shouldn't fly supersonic through this area because the the land underneath is shaped like a parabola and it's very humid." is much more difficult for a pilot to manage and a regulation body to enforce than "Don't fly faster than this airspeed." especially when the effect was the same back when the bill was introduced.

CloudFlare's Universal SSL certificates used to be shared between multiple unrelated accounts by SAN stuffing, so back then they definitely wouldn't have given out the private key. I think this may have changed since I last saw a CloudFlare certificate with >100 SANs for various unrelated sites on a client's certificate around 3 years ago. The certificate from the post is not shared, and I can't find any other Universal SSL certificates that are shared now. This support article still suggests they're shared, however [0].

They likely didn't give clients the private keys before simply to save costs by reducing the number of certificates they had to issue. Now that they're not sharing certificates, it's probably just a way to extract a little more money from customers.

A push button normally closed momentary switch would be pretty slick too. Also it would probably be best to put it on the ground wire. Car radios will have at least two power wires, one for constant power (which keeps the clock set, and favourite stations programmed), and one switched accessory power to command it on.

Then again, a new $30 radio would be slicker still.

I took up bouldering around 2 years ago, despite my fear of heights. I've managed it by sticking exclusively to gyms, and staying well within my limits. What also helps is the gym I started at had a safety orientation that all climbers had to go through before they'd be allowed on the walls. The most important part of this was how to fall correctly.

The gym I frequent also has a great variety of route difficulties and heights (~3m to ~7m), so it really helped me move up slowly along with my comfort level. As for the amount of times I fall, it's far less than I expected, and I've never felt unsafe, even while falling.

They mention Cellebrite because they share specific stats on how much data they can copy off a device in a given time. It's essentially used as a source for the end of the paragraph where they explain why it matters that CBP had their phones for that period.

Is the electric mini cheaper than the standard 3 door hatch? The only price points I'm seeing are £16195 for petrol [1] and £24400 after UK incentives for the BEV [2].

I was going to mention that the one that has broken earth's orbit is the wrong vehicle and is not a first generation Tesla Roadster, but then I realised the repair woes are likely to be even worse for second generation Roadster owners. They're not likely to be produced in significantly more volume, and they're made totally in house, not based on a Lotus platform like the last one.

I would love to know what they classify as a daily active user. My expectation would be someone who sends or receives a message, but I would never have expected the numbers to be so high. Maybe they're counting everyone who signs into their O365 account who has a Teams subscription.

Wood gas is mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Even a small leak into the passenger compartment could be deadly, especially if it was filtered well enough to be odourless and the occupants don't notice quickly.

I actually agree that it's a situation that's unrelated to whether the retailer is selling licenses or copies of the book, which is what my original comment is about. I do think that Amazon could have handled the situation better though. It probably would have been to everyone's benefit for them to work out the issue with the rights holders instead of passing their mistake forward to their customers. They may have tried to do that behind closed doors and failed, of course.

The argument is that if you are buying a licence, the retailer is obligated to tell you you're buying a licence. Current advertising, shopping, and checkout flows instead communicate that you are buying an eBook.

Yes, actually. Because that event was referenced in the original article, which made it the last book I had thought about.

It doesn't make sense to me that eBook retailers can claim they're selling licences to view books, instead of the books themselves. If I were to look for 1984 for a kindle, I'd:

1. Search Amazon for "1984 George Orwell" 2. Select the first option (paperback) 3. See the "Format" selector 4. Select the kindle edition 5. Click "Buy with one-click"

Notably, between 4 and 5, reading the entire page gives no indication that the kindle format is fundamentally different from the paperback in regards to who actually owns the copy after purchase.

There may be a notice buried in a EULA that you agree to when setting the device up, but it may be hard to argue that it means they can tell you at the time of purchase they're selling you a book while actually selling you a licence.

Deviant Ollam does another talk with elevator consultant Howard Payne just about elevator security which is fantastic. It's very similar to this one, but goes deeper into the single subject. There are a few versions on YouTube of various lengths, but here's the 2 hour version: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZUvGfuLlZus

It's quite incompetent and negligent to put network connectors on servers that cause spectacular failures when exposed to a network.

This isn't a fair assessment of the situation. Networks that aren't entirely trusted and controlled can cause spectacular failures. By knowing this, administrators can use BMCs safely. My Poweredge server even came with a warning sticker that had to be removed before the DRAC port could be used.

In general, tools can have "pointy parts" with which the user could harm themselves so long as the risks and proper uses are documented and explained adequately.

I'm not going to comment on moral or legal responsibilities of bookies and gambling companies, because I am uneducated on both subjects, but I found your use of the term "collect more juice" really interesting. It seems odd to relate pulling revenue from fruit to pulling revenue from people's incorrect bets. Is that an industry term?

My mind jumped to Canada when I read the above comment, but really there are a number of countries that fit the mould. Most western countries have a special levy on blank media, including all EU member states except Luxembourg. I don't know which countries don't prohibit the downloading copyrighted material similarly to how they prohibit sharing that media, but Canada is one of them.
