He gave a reason, and said he's not going to answers why questions, so your guess is as good as anyone else's.

We should be thankful that this person maintained the app and put up with Google's bullshit for so long.

Perquisition au petit mâtin dans un logement où la personne recherchée ne se trouve pas, et n'habite pas ?

En plus des accusations sur l'usage disproportionné de violence, ça pose des questions sur la compétence de la personne qui a décidé la perquisition.

Le suspect n'était visiblement pas en cavale, il s'est présenté volontairement quand il su que la police le cherchait. C'était peut être pas utile de mobiliser tout un groupe pour une perquisition sans aucune certitude d'y trouver le suspect. S'il voulait fuire, il l'aurait fait en apprenant la perquisition chez sa famille.

Alcohol is not only linked to hooliganism, but also negative health effects. So this change put women's football fans at higher risk.

It seems like it a bad place. It would probably shorten the panels' lifetime, and maintenance would be tricky without interrupting train traffic.

Let's work on putting more solar panels on schools, malls, parking lots, train stations, and any structure with a large roof.

That may also explain why capturing nuclear power plants is so strategic in this war.

L'Italie encourage la GPA en refusant le droit d'adopter aux couples de même sexe.

La décision est je pense plus motivée par l'homophobie que par la protection des femmes vulnérables.

Less drugs, more drags.

Does this attack scale linearly with key size?

Using the D-Wave Advantage, we successfully factored a 22-bit RSA integer, demonstrating the potential for quantum machines to tackle cryptographic problems

That attack is a threat only if it scale better than existing attacks.

C'est pas la peine si ça repose exclusivement sur des écosystèmes d'entreprises US (Apple Store, Google Play).

Remplacer une dépendance à Visa par une dépendance à Google n'est pas un progrès.

J'espère que davantage de banques soutiendront le projet de porte feuille numérique Taler, qui est déjà bien avancé techniquement. C'est ouvert, sans dependances à Google/Apple, et respectueux de la vie privée. On verra quelles banques considèrent sérieusement ces critères.

Thanks for the interesting details. Glad to see there's an offline version that disables photogrammetry.

The church in england is a good example where a a generic rectangle building model doesn't work. They could improve the offline version by adding a church model in the set of offline models, and use it for 90% of church in western Europe.

A fully realistic model of every single building may be cool for architects, future historians, city planners, gamers that are sightseeing... but don't help much when learning to pilot. Having a virtual world that look similar to the real one, with buildings of the right size and positions, landmarks, and hero buildings is good enough, and doesn't require that much resources. There are others parts of flight simulators that are more important to work on.

I happen to know a bit about game and simulators. From a plane's point of view, houses dont look unique. A small number of models is enough to fairly represent most houses. There may be a minority of structures that are really unique (stadiums, bridges, landmarks, ...) but the vast majority of buildings aren't unique. Even if two building have different heights, it's possible to reuse textures if they're built from the same material.

MSFT appears to have designed the simulator by considering every building is unique, but if they compared buildings and textures, ideally using automation, they would see there's a massive amount of duplication.

I'm not suggesting putting the whole world on a 120GB disk.

That being said, most of the textures and building geometries used for San Andreas may be reused for other cities in the west coast. Areas between cities that have a lower density could take much less space.

So doubling the physical area covered doesn't necessarily require doubling the amount of data. But the bandwidth usage from MSFT's simulator suggest they are not reusing data when they could be.

GTA 5 require 120GB of disk size, not 500GB. And this include everything, game engine, assets, and the whole area. https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/203428177/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-PC-system-requirements

Because everything has to fit on the average game PC or console storage, they have some pressure to optimize data size. A simulator that streams everything have less constraints on data size, less motivation to keep size reasonable.

Li-Ion seems to be the go-to solution. I hope new static energy storage projects will prefer other options (Na-Ion, flow batteries, ..) since there's a limited supply of Lithium and we need it for vehicles.

This shows they're not trying very hard to optimize the simulator, but instead throw hardware and bandwidth at it, and expect users do the same.

Open world games like GTA allow flying over dense areas without using 180Mbps of bandwidth.

Update from Brewster Kahle:

Archive.org sub services coming back up when they can, safely. e.g. Email working.

Now contract crawls for National Libraries (important to keep collections whole)

Thank you for the patience. More as it happens. @internetarchive

Ces popup sont vide de sens.

Mieux vaut gagner du temps et utiliser ublock pour bloquer les pisteurs, et masquer ces pop-up.

D'un point de vue consentement, ne pas accepter et refuser sont équivalent. Donc autant les masquer si vous n'avez pas l'intention d'accepter.

Testing infrastructure would help for sure, but it's not necessarily the lack of infra that's causing trouble.
