A really sad fact is that rail lines used to connect even the most rural of communities. Many cities removed rail lines to put in roadways.
You can still find rails to a lot of farms in Idaho because that's how produce used to be shipped.
The big rail companies are a major reason rail sucks in the US. They were given the land for their lines nearly for free with the promise they'd provide public transit. Well, they stopped that. So the US created Amtrak to relieve them of the obligation of public transit with the promise that Amtrak trains would get priority. Well they constantly break that law which makes Amtrak suck with constant delays.
Heck, these companies are at least supposed to be in charge of maintaining the lines, and they don't do that either. The US has a crazy number of derailments and a big reason for some of them is that the tracks receive little maintenance.
These are still multi billion dollar companies and they do what all giant companies do and nickel/dime everything.
Israel was a Nazi concept. Hitler wasn't right. The idea of "this land should be for the X" is a core part of Nazi ideology.
Basically everywhere the British tried to divide things up on ethnic, religious, or cultural lines has ended in a perpetual shitshow. India and Pakistan is another example.
It's a mess. You first run into bandwidth problems on the incoming streams. But you also run into a problem with the device support matrix.
If you say "We'll support H.264, H.265, AV1, AV2" and "We'll support 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4k". Now you'd be asking the clients to do 16 different encodes to upload.
This gets more complicated if you add more streams or supported formats. You also end up needing to coordinate that with the client.
AFAIK, the way youtube currently handles this problem is they have dedicated encoders for live streams and fast encoding. For popular videos they do a second step where they do a more full matrix to optimize viewership.
Yeah, as an old internet head Nazis have always been everywhere. There's a reason moderation has been one of the first things implemented since the usenet implosion.
Bluetooth is one of those things that is a crapshoot in linux. A big part of that is because the bluetooth protocol itself is a giant train wreck. It requires a stupid level of integration into the OS to do basic stuff (It should have just been effectively what Wifi Direct is). It also doesn't help that the linux audio stack is kinda fucked.
Sleep/hibernate is also somewhat of a crapshoot because it's a very weird protocol.
For some linux hardware these things work pretty well, but for others it can be a nightmare to make work properly.
FTR, I'm currently using KDE plasma + pipewire and that works pretty well for me with my bluetooth devices. But I realize that's probably also somewhat due to me having good hardware for linux in the first place.
Much like the law should allow people to cancel any subscription created online, online, the law should mandate clear times when and where advertisement is allowed with opt out options.
If Samsung wants to advertise to me on a product, that should have to pay me $10/month to send those adverts.
Nope, they passed the house bill, this goes straight to POTUS.
They did that because changing the bill would cause the house to have to come back in session. That would have caused the Epstein files to be released.
Depends on if Roberts decides to retire or if Sotomayor dies. We'll get another whack job if either of those things happens. Not saying Roberts isn't a whack job, but he's about the most moderate conservative on the court right now. (God help me, Barret is a close second).
No way he doesn't get replace with someone like Aileen Cannon.
Alito or Thomas retiring will be a wash. Alito has said he'll retire, so expect that to happen in the next 3 years. But honestly, I highly doubt there's anyone as crooked as he is so it doesn't really matter.
All containers are, are isolated preccesses so its barely different than launching any other process.
The two biggest differences are that containers use more disk space vs non-containers and that containers won't use shared libraries. That means that instead of loading up 1 version of glibc for most of the OS, you end up with n containers glibcs loaded up.
Practically speaking, this isn't really a huge deal. A lot of those libraries fit in less than 1mb. A disaster if this was my childhood computer. A non-issue on modern systems with more than 512mb of ram.
Some psychiatrists and psychologists have speculated that Donald Trump may be exhibiting signs of dementia. These concerns have been raised by experts who point to his public appearances and statements as evidence of cognitive decline. Factors such as his age (nearly 80) and a family history of dementia have also been mentioned as contributing to these concerns
Specifically, some have identified "four signs" of dementia that they believe Trump is showing. One of these signs mentioned is confabulation, which is described as "honest lying" or memory lapses, and is considered a potential indicator of dementia
However, it is worth noting that one report indicated Trump was assessed for cognitive function, which was found to be normal. Despite this, questions about his mental acuity persist among some observers
