Re: Seems to be a recurring theme here ...

Who makes the laws?

Re: A number of sound decisions?

I suspect you are correct. I'm in the East Midlands and no sign of shortages.

Re: What

There is always a balance involving such things as size of cache, how many cache lines, cache coherency overhead, physical or virtual addressing, sharing caches, moving between caches, cache flush overhead, cost of cache miss etc. Bigger is not always better ;)

NINOs have never been unique. No one should ever think they are or were. At one point there were three offices issuing NINOs, guess what happened. Even now, a new NINO is not always unique and they are being issued from one source. Go figure.

If you want unique, how about having a pension scheme number?

So, why are they available for sale?

Re: China needs better "public opinion propaganda"

Propaganda isn't necessarily fake, indeed it's works far better if it is demonstrably true. The female dog is that truth is somewhat mutable.

Re: WTF?

Hum, I think the glorious revolution in 1688 classes as an invasion. As for being ruled by foreigners, isn't that the whole point of an invasion?

Edit, Hans Neeson-Bumpsadese, just read your post making the same point. Great minds and all...

Re: The third way

Unfortunately the 'owners' are the fund managers and guess what their motivations are...

Re: Acid test

Would that mean that an employee to be allowed into work or not but never some of the time. That the number of at work employees is always constantly known. Saying your going to work and then not turning up doesn't count. And that the number of at work employees is recorded by chipping it in stone.

Well, given the way the agencies are split into cells, I'm not sure any of them would know what they themselves are doing. Probably got a better chance of discovering what their sister agencies are up to.

Re: Late stage capitalism

Only one up vote unfortunately...

Hum, ever tried to 'easily' transfer a few tens of thousands of euros?

Re: Spoke with worried NHS staff

Well, if nobody was COVID vaccinated, then no admissions to hospital would have be vaccinated. If everybody was vaccinated, then all COVID admissions would be vaccinated people.

We are kinda in between these two states...

Re: To be fair to Facebook...

Hum, and who assess whats crap and what isn't? Us chattering apes chatter incessantly. Most of it is inane banal rubbish, some of it is interesting, some maybe misleading or dangerous. We always have and always will. All that is different here is the communication channel for the stream of chatter. Recently, we have moved to world wide chatter distribution system. Whether this warrants the sort of mud slinging and angst that is currently happening is debatable. I recon there could be money at stake ;)

Re: YAY NASA!

No god involved.

Re: Inaccessible lakes in its mountainous regions

Indeed do nothing and don't make more humans.

Re: Missing Inaction

If death is an illusion and life is real

can you explain why I don't feel.

The wound doesn't hurt but neither does it heal

so life must be fake and death must be real.

Re: Google - great at search...

It's the same skill set...

Re: Not quite as high as a SR-71

Officially...

Re: Only benefit ?

It's their Unique Selling Point ;)

In

The UK there is a requirement (I-SSGW ) that has been release by the MOD and the following are likely to bid:

Lockheed Martin (LRASM)

MBDA (Exocet MM40 Block IIIc)

Raytheon/Kongsberg (NSM)

Saab (RBS-15 Mk3)

IAI (SEA SERPENT)

The Harpoon Block-1C full retirement has been pushed back to sometime in 2023.

My guess is that Sea Serpent will be the winner. However, LRASM could be chosen for political reasons.

Re: Whats old is new again

Perhaps what is needed is a TP monitor ;)

Re: Well done!

No, theirs were way better than ours :)

Re: The Asia Internet Coalition

Ah, but it was soil that France used to think of as it's own.

Re: Differential compression....

Came here to say something very similar. The compression used by Sun Microsystems Sun Ray thin clients used this approach and I guess many other implementations as you have mentioned. It seems that reinventing the wheel can be lucrative though.

Edit. Having looked up event cameras there is a twist. They are good at spotting fast moving things which would seem to be useful in a military situation. From wikipedia;

"Image reconstruction from events has the potential to create images and video with high dynamic range, high temporal resolution and minimal motion blur. Image reconstruction can be achieved using temporal smoothing, e.g. high-pass or complementary filter. Alternative methods include optimization and gradient estimation followed by Poisson integration."
