  • What is a belief you’ve done a total 180 on?

  • And exist in a system that can only support two parties, which means that the most effective strategy is not to convince voters that your pictures are superior but to convince them not to vote for the other party. Cue a race to the bottom.

  • US governor boosts US-Iran 'combat footage' that is actually from War Thunder, featuring WW2-era weapons

    Jump

  • Can we get some infantry combat footage next? Maybe from Counter-Strike or Unreal Tournament for variety?

  • What websites do you miss from the 2000s?

    Jump

  • Well, the content is the same and it works the same as far as I can tell. I'm not terribly attached to the old domain name when the (rebooted) radio works just fine.

  • These are my stories

    Jump

  • As long as the penguins haven't discovered warp drive, that is.

  • How many?

    Jump

  • Again, possibly sensible in a vacuum but not a great move when you need the ship to work properly right now. Changeovers like this incur temporary inefficiency as new schedules have to be drawn up and adapted to. Showing up out of nowhere, demanding that everyone execute the changeover (planning and all) within several hours doesn't sound like a very good idea to me at the best of times, much less when the ship is going to do double duty with delicate diplomacy work and backup for a covert ops mission.

    And that's not the only time he pisses people off with no explanation. He shows up in engineering and demands a two-day death march project to overhaul the warp drive for no reason other than he thinks it should be more efficient. Sure, Starfleet engineers routinely deal with such circumstances but it's usually for a well-known reason and not "because I say so" over the active objections of the department head. And overworking the engineers doesn't sound very efficient in anything but he short term.

    I maintain that Jellico may have a decent understanding on how to efficiently operate a starship but he's not very good at actually leading a crew.

  • How many?

    Jump

  • Fair points. I think in the end, given only what we see, neither of them seemed to have shown particularly good judgment.

    Jellico was temporarily given command over the flagship of Starfleet, which had so far performed well. He immediately decided to implement his personally preferred policies across the ship, which would've been fine if he had been given a long-term posting under normal circumstances but wasn't when he was temporarily in command during a time when the crew needed to perform reliably. Heck, he even had the fish removed from Picard's office despite knowing full well that it was a temporary posting.

    Riker was rightfully concerned about all this but took far too much leeway in dealing with it. Honestly, Picard wouldn't have acted much differently than Jellico by the time Riker flatly refused to do his job. Jellico might've acted unwisely in a professional sense and inappropriately on a personal level but Riker wasn't acting like an officer at all.

    It's like the two of them were trying to make a case study on how many different kinds of dysfunction you can cram into just two officers aboard a single starship.

  • How many?

    Jump

  • I'd argue that upending the duty roster in the middle of a crisis is a bad move. You want people to perform optimally and they probably won't immediately do that while adjusting to a new schedule.

    Jellico's changes might've been sensible in a vacuum but I think that he tried making them at an inappropriate time.

  • Russia is building fake trees to hide communications antennas that Ukrainian drones keep finding

    Jump

  • Even just one additional sensor if they're directional. Even if optical camouflage of broadcast equipment might work in the short term, I don't doubt that Ukraine will find a way around that relatively quickly. The Ukrainians are really good at this and, well, it's broadcast equipment.

  • My girlfriend got herself a pair and taped them to corners of her desk. She doesn't want to turn on the light when she gets up at night but she also doesn't want to bump into the desk. Tritium vials fit that use case well.

    Could we have gone with dimmable lights or something homebrewed with low-power LEDs? Sure, but tritium vials are affordable and don't need a power supply, a remote, or much in the way of setup; they'll just keep doing their thing for about a decade before you have to even think about their light output.

    They're a solid choice if you have the specific use case of wanting something to be easily located in (near-)complete darkness but you don't want to use electricity for some reason.

  • Why are you like this?

    Jump

  • Until you update your EFI and have forgotten all about the fact that non-Windows EFI boot images need to be registered with the Secure Boot key store even if Secure Boot is off. And that the key store is wiped when updating the EFI.

    And then you spend an entire afternoon trying to find out why your Linux boot every isn't even recognized by the EFI anymore. Fun.

  • AfD darf vorerst nicht als "gesichert rechtsextremistisch" eingestuft werden

  • Gut, Gericht A hat nur gesagt, dass "nö" gilt, bis Gericht B entschieden hat, ob das vorher ausgesprochene "aber sowas von" gültig ist. Also nicht ganz so schlimm wie von dir dargestellt.

  • Germany’s AfD sparks fears it is helping Russia with inquiry on NATO weaknesses

    Jump

  • This isn't the first time the AfD has asked for information on German defense capabilities and transport routes. In November, similar espionage concerns have already been voiced; back then they had already made 7000 separate inquiries.

    Totally legitimate party with only the best interests of the country at heart. (Well, depending on which country you mean.)

  • I know about pacman, no need to say it a dozen times.

    Jump

  • Eh. Admittedly, my experience with non-rolling distros is old, but I'd rather take "something minor breaks every couple weeks" over "I tried upgrading the system and now I can't even get working shell commands if I chroot over from a live USB".

    Admittedly, that was when I tried upgrading to Fedora Core 5 (or was it upgrading from there?), so ancient history.

  • They never said that the dent would be downwards. We're up-denting now. This is moving fast and breaking things brought to the next level.

    With just a bit of effort and a modest 300 billion dollars we can bring critical security issues to levels that make traditional management approaches obsolete, creating a lucrative market for vulnerability report management AI.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • Unless other situations where the established technology wins due to inertia, sodium ion batteries have two benefits that make them interesting regardless:

    Firstly, they are safer. A punctured sodium ion battery doesn't catch fire, which massively simplifies safety design. That makes them very attractive for certain scenarios, especially ones where density is a secondary concern. That in turn means they get further development money instead of withering on the vine.

    Secondly, they require fewer hard-to-obtain materials, which makes them attractive from a strategic perspective. This one should be less important than the safety factor but it's also relevant.

    I'm pretty sure we'll actually see wet sodium cells in the wild if they are actually practical. Sodium ion tech is already being commercialized and if this brings it within the same ballpark as lithium ion then it becomes a very interesting choice for vehicles due to instant crash safety gains.
