Tardigrade is right. I just went to the site and searched “Taiwan” in the search bar and read a few articles. Huge pro China slant.

Because it is I think. Welcome back to the Dark Ages, population: everyone, torches provided, critical thinking not included.

This was a problem. We just acted to ban CFCs, which solved the problem. Now the ozone hole is recovering. I wouldn’t say it turned out not to be a problem though. The human race just had the brains and corporation to come together and deal with it.

“Mr. President: Think about farm land and about water resources, and a man as intelligent as you will see that the absolute position you are taking is flawed,” one user wrote. “What use is being rich if you cannot get access to water and food?”

Imagine saying “a man as intelligent as you” when talking about trump. Lol

Hopefully they don’t forget the game files.

One exception from the horrifying classic rock era is Pink Floyd. At least nothing that I am aware of from those guys.

It isnt respected in the hacker community but it is in the HR community for job postings. Sec+ has better content and is a fraction of the cost. And if you want to prove hands-on skills, OSCP is nearly the same price and well respected by everyone.

In my opinion, CEH has done a tremendous job at branding. Non-cyber tech people all know it. But the content is beginner level stuff.

The simple answer is cloud resources can scale to any number of cpus and gpus whereas on prem is static

Okay, a lot to unpack here. I work on atmospheric model development. Primarily upper atmosphere models, but have experience with forecasting models as well. Inherently, there is nothing wrong with moving to the cloud for hpc resources. However I do take an issue with the following statement:

“Cloud-based high-performance computing will accelerate the transition of research into operations by eliminating traditional bottlenecks of on-premise systems,” said NOAA Administrator Neil Jacobs in a statement.

The bottleneck in forecasting is NOT hardware but unknown and unresolved physical processes. Even at high resolution, forecasting models cannot capture physics and dynamics at spatial scales smaller than the grid of the model. We can make assumptions and use things like machine learning to improve subgrid processes but we cannot fully resolve them without an infinitely small grid, which is impossible. So moving to the cloud will not improve forecasting or the transition of RTO.

The second issue with this guy is he is a Trump nut hugger. See the following:

Good find! Did not know that. I haven’t used eBay since the 2000s but I certainly won’t moving forward.

“The company said the conduct “is not representative of eBay’s culture” and said it has since changed leadership and strengthened its policies, procedures and ethics training.”

All employees are now required to attend trainings that include no sending of bloody pig masks, funeral wreaths and death threats. If the old leadership only had that mandatory training this would have never happened!

Thst’s true. They can teach them what to avoid and how to commit warcrimes.

Whew. Not sure China would want to take any Russian military advice, but you do you, Pooh.

“Today’s action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere,” US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said.

Imagine saying with a straight face from the U.S. of all places that they think the UK and EU need to improve the welfare of their workers. I understand it is related to the forced labor goods coming from China but holy.

“Once they understand what the technology actually does – not what it might do in 50 years, not what someone thinks it could do, but what it actually does, day in and day out, it takes a picture of a car – most people go, ‘This makes a lot of sense. I want my kids to be safe.’”

He argues that all it does it takes pictures of license plates. And then says how it keeps children safe. 🤨

Agreed. U.S. definitely sucks and is trying to speed run to fascism but China is on another level. I’ll leave this here for those who have not seen the law they recently passed.

Good information. However, the safest fix would be to delete the OS and install literally anything else (https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/). But alas, due to work constraints I understand some are stuck with Windows.

This was 13 years ago but another classic.

I always try and mix in a little bitumen to thicken it up.
