The right to repair. It’s going to require the ability to make changes to the software on the vehicle. At a minimum the ability to replace the public encryption keys used to communicate with the servers. The bootloader and software is probably locked behind signing keys; so you need to be able to disable or add your own keys. I doubt anyone has access to the full protocols used to communicate with the servers. So, the full technical standard need to be released (which is never going to happen) or reversed engineered through unencrypted traffic analysis and reverse engineering the software.

A good right to repair law could require some of that be releasable while the company is still active or all if the company goes belly up. IIRC there was a smaller EV company that went bankrupt and there was a concern that once the servers were shutdown the vehicles would be bricked. Not sure what happened in the end. In any case, cars as IOT is the stupidest idea ever created.

OP said die and I’m going to take him at his word 😉

So you want to die in a burning boat‽ While some countries in Europe allow for assisted suicide, I don’t think any allow for self immolation while at sea.

Now if you’re looking for a viking funeral procession after your death, I would think environmental regulations would be the biggest hurdle.

Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn’t work very well.

Edit: for over the counter I use Eucerin eczema relief. I also have a jar of CeraVe, but I haven’t used that in a while. I only have to use them occasionally.

Go see a dermatologist.

A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren’t helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.

The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn’t a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I’ve had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven’t had any problems for at least a year.

If you can, go see a dermatologist.

That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.

You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.

There’s talk on the Linux kernel mailing list. The same person made recent contributions there.

Andrew (and anyone else), please do not take this code right now.

Until the backdooring of upstream xz[1] is fully understood, we should not accept any code from Jia Tan, Lasse Collin, or any other folks associated with tukaani.org. It appears the domain, or at least credentials associated with Jia Tan, have been used to create an obfuscated ssh server backdoor via the xz upstream releases since at least 5.6.0. Without extensive analysis, we should not take any associated code. It may be worth doing some retrospective analysis of past contributions as well…

I dunno. I think it might depend on if he gets a sentence of more than probation. He may have to serve time first then get deported.

Given their history of hostilities. Hell has a better chance of freezing over than a secret agreement existing.

At that time Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were hiding along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, and from the wikipedia article:

Pakistan’s government publicly condemned these attacks. However, it also allegedly allowed the drones to operate from Shamsi Airfield in Pakistan until 21 April 2011. According to leaked diplomatic cables, Pakistan’s Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani not only tacitly agreed to the drone flights, but in 2008 requested that Americans increase them.

I doubt Iran has a secret agreement to operate drones within Pakistan.

We’re not “such a shit hole”. We’re an exquisite shit hole.

Now do courthouses and see how well that goes.

I agree, but it is also within the sentencing guidelines. From a linked article within the article:

Kelly is scheduled to sentence Chrestman for his two felony convictions on Jan. 12. Estimated sentencing guidelines for his case recommended a prison term ranging from four years and three months to five years and three months.

The 4 years 7 months he got is a bit short of the mean. IMO the judge should have agreed with the prosecutors and given him the full sentence.

This sounds like something out of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Something you’d read just before the Earth gets blown up.

Much obliged. Thank you.

Science reporting list the authors or the institutions or the paper being published. There isn’t even a DOI. So, I can’t even say if any of this has gone through peer review or been published in a reputable journal. It’s not really an article. The whole thing reads like OP copied a couple paragraphs out of the middle of a university press release.

Is there an article to go with this post? Cause this is just a couple of paragraphs that fails to link to what, where, and who is doing the research.

He’d be so angry he wouldn’t stand for it.

Cleverly made the joke to female guests while attending a Downing Street reception earlier this month.

Yikes! The added context makes it even worse.

Potato masher then hand mix. I also have a ricer but 9 times out of 10 I don’t want to mess around with it.
