Re: There's a worrying implication
The loan officer wrote back saying the P&L document looked doctored and could Manafort please send a clean copy.

This is another reason why Big Box stores will be in trouble when Amazon brings you decent holographic imaging - you'll be able to see how big it is, will it fit in my space, etc. WITHOUT having to drive to the store.
Which will only work with Amazon's Alexa Holograph add-on. And you still won't be able to slam the tyres and kick the doors until they've added HoloTact.
I have a compact case, and limited room for disks unless I duck-tape them to the inside of the case.
If you have one 5.25" drive slot, you can fit a 6-bay 2.5" hotswap cage, or even 8-bay if you use 7mm drives (most SSDs are).
or arrange to pick up the delivery from an agreed holding point, in which case there's no need for the delivery vehicle anyway.
It's not uncommon for a regional courier dispatch centre to be somewhere on some vast industrial estate somewhere way outside any population centre[0], inaccessible except by car, and open only during office hours. Moving your parcel to a pickup point local to you, such as a supermarket open a good deal longer, at least allows you to pick it up on foot or by bike. And one cargo slot can hold stuff for several recipients if it all has to go to that pickup point.
[0] worst case that I myself had had to deal with was right on the other side of the next town over, 30km shortest route straight through that town's centre, 40km if you took a more sensible route.
There will be no more "home delivery", as there is no way for the vehicle to place packages on or in the recipient's property - and no more post through the letterbox.
This will be solved by Amazon Delivery Boxes (a followup to the Amazon Key doorlock, for those in apartment buildings and council flats etc. not having their own private ground-level front door) and a robotic arm. And this Boston Dynamics door-opening robodog would also be a contender for filling the gap between the delivery van in the street and your cupboard or fridge.
(plus they're better at snooping than your average delivery driver.)
Starman was the corpse of David Bowie
Bowie was cremated, so he would be in the ash tray (provided the Roadster has one, not sure there). Starman is, in the proper supervillain tradition, Musk's arch nemesis, Jeff Bezos, and the appearance you've seen since the launch is a hologram run on AWS.
Tinkering with WINE indefinitely trying to get the software you need to run?
That would be "Spinning up a VM for that odd piece of Windows software that you still need". And my tinkering with WINE was limited to "Oh wait, better uncheck this option and let the installer finish first instead of starting the program with the installer still running"
As in "this IoT thing is getting ridiculous, now the rails are network connected"
They are.
But generally the low-level control (relays or PLC-like units) is interlocked so that you can not direct a train onto a track where another train is present (except at switching yards where such a an action should be possible, although only at low speed). The network is used to send control messages to these low-level systems, with points, signals and block status being sent back. With the network out of action everything should come to a stop without creating hazardous situations.
I would like to see the national museum of computing, but for me it isn't going to happen if it is inside the rip-off Bletchley Theme Park.
It is not.
Simply walk past the BTP entrance[0], turn left, and a couple hundred metres on you'll walk straight into the TNMOC.
[0] rude gestures entirely optional.
Well, given the extreme simplicity of the charging circuit (nothing more than a diode) as it is present in the IC (QX5252) that's in all these garden lights, there's a good chance that the battery can get overcharged on a sunny day. Especially a small 80mAh battery; they also come with a standard AA or AAA cell, which have some ten or more times that capacity and therefore won't overcharge quite so easily. Repeatedly overcharging is one thing what kills NiMh's
Space history includes the story of a large UV transparent sapphire window, imported by JPL or NASA at great expense. They had to pay import duty / taxes.
There's also the trip expense claim from one of the Apollo astronauts. They also had to sign customs forms for the moon rock samples they took back.
I'd rather like my space craft to be a bit more reliable, and for people to retain domain knowledge. Domain knowledge? There are enough (>=1) old-time rocket scientists who managed to point out problems with fuel, valve, and time-in-space problems with certain NASA missions, namely: don't use certain fuels for missions longer than a certain duration
And even though Ignition! has long been out of print (there's a reprint coming out), there are PDF versions of it aplenty. Very informative, and any rocket surgeon who hasn't read it shouldn't be anywhere near the propulsion side of things.
The Voyagers are less likely to be hit by a stray lump of space rock. Also, any non-metal parts on the Tesla will degrade and crumble over time because they weren't designed with exposure to space-level radiation in mind.
It's quite likely though that a few hundred years on a metal hunk roughly the shape of a Tesla Roadster, with a desiccated human corpse with a few scraps of what used to be a space suit about it behind the wheel, will still be orbiting the Sun. At the same time the Voyagers will be hurtling towards AC+79 3888 and Ross 248 respectively, and probably more intact than that Roadster will be.
So, a card scraper (metal oblong for smoothing wood with a hook on the edge). Strong enough but could not be pushed hard enough.
So, I banged it a bit with a hammer and hey! presto! I was in.
Couple of years back we had a temporary office with a temporary computer room next to it. Then someone decided that we were not to enter the computer room, despite us needing physical access to some of the systems therein. This they thought to achieve by installing a code lock on the door. However, it was easy to circumvent: the door turned outwards, and the hook on the serrated knife on the Leatherman Charge was exactly what one would need to flip the bolt.
I just need a lock that is locked when power is off,
Apartment buildings tend to have this; the simplest one is an electromagnet pulling on the day latch of what is apparently called a rim lock: a door lock that sits exposed on the inside of the front door. The loop on the handle of the lock in the picture is exactly for such a magnet.
You may want to add a switch sensing if the door is properly closed, and a mechanism to close the door if it isn't.
That's twice in a week or so that you proclaim something that happened to be impossible.
You have clearly never been at the coal face of hardware installation, upgrades and maintenance, so kindly keep your trap shut on those matters because it annoys those of us who do and have done so for decades.
That's relevant because a subject aware of the attention may be expected to take steps to hide his tracks.
If someone involved in the campaign promoting a candidate for the US presidency has been working as an advisor to Kremlin staff not too long before is not subjected to some additional scrutiny, there's something very wrong.
Aside from that, have you read the transcripts of Page's interviews with the House Intelligence Committee? The only way he could increase the impression he's a Russian plant is by donning a pink tutu after learning some dance steps, getting on a piano and switching on the neon sign that blinks "Russian Plant" in Cyrillic.
We would all be dead if that were true.
Errr, no. For every driver killed traffic density decreases, even if that's infinitesimally small at first. But with every such accident the traffic density, and with that the accident rate, will go down, with the accident rate asymptotally approaching the background level of 'immovable solid object fails to yield to vehicle'
If people don't do this already why would they do it with a bike?
Because people rarely walk around with a chain lock for the purpose of randomly locking someone's gate. Plus that that lock, however cheap it may be, will have cost a few quid.
If, on the other hand, you get to annoy someone by locking the bike you need to park and lock anyway across their gate, then why not? Downside: being traceable via the bike rental database, at least if the rental site has moderately robust credential checking.
