The ballasting on the thing needed to stay submerged would be a real problem.

And what, 50 miles inland?

This was an actual thing around here. The place had decent burritoes too.

RIP Providence and Boston.

This kills kaiser permentente. Maybe that's what they really want?

Well, is the music good? Or just too loud for the hour?

It is argubly the root cause of [hands waiving all around me] a lot of the mess we are in. Less rural employment means rural depopulation means radicalization of rural areas and housing shortages in urban and suburban areas.

Well, since it is a health care/medical device - it also needs a lot of testing, validation, and insurance. Those soft costs dominate.

That's hot.

Rickover: "Fish don't vote."

So much of this is just having a clear idea of what threats you are trying to manage. And different mitigations will protect you from some threats, but at the cost of making you stand out like a sore thumb to others.

Does this mean OpenAI can't enforce "ChatGPT" as an exclusive trademark?

Colonel Angus Comes Home - SNL YouTube video by Saturday Night Live

As for Walken SNL skits... The Colonel Angus one is up there. He played his charachter straight as an arrow while the rest of the cast was barely able to keep from busting up laughing.

I have to imagine anything needing refrigerated trucking is going to be crazy expensive.

Shhhh.. You're going to get Minecraft ITAR restricted...

New reform: Make filing deadlines for incumbants is 1 month before everyone else.

The filing deadline is passed.

So, that makes Obama a distant cousin?

This is where Trump's habit of reneging on his deals makes this harder. No one can trust they won't get screwed.

I thonk google has a fundamental conflict of interests when it comes to a) finding and displaying organic search results, b) displaying paid search ads, and c) keeping seo slop out of the organic results. If "falling behind" on c) makes a) more difficult, that gives better returns on b).

So, how quickly can nigel be turned into a makeshift fpv drone?

There's pretty good odds we have a sub or 2 in the area (near the straight or in the gulf) as well. And as quiet as diesel boats can be running on battery, firing a torpedo is a pretty noisy affair, so an Iran sub might only get a single shot at a tanker before a US sub can respond.

Or, use option 2 and still get hit by a shahed because the ships can still be found with on shore radar or spotted in moonlight and shaheds can use thermal imaging for terminal guidance.

*does NOT go through Hormuz.

Russian oil heading to those destinations goes through the straight of Hormuz. It goes through Suez, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. The Houthis could cause trouble there I guess, but for now they aren't.

Well, the russians are making their own shaheds now and the spike in oil prices will get the russians a big lift economically. Z is certainly interested all right, but there's no way for this not to be bad news for Ukraine.

Is your clock-radio okay? It looks like the digits are a little dim?

Now a lot of corporate legal departments have some really, really, really conservative policies around these licenses. But, that's more of a corporate cya posture than anything about the licenses.

That's straight not true of most licenses. BSD, MIT, Apache, MPL. All allow commercial forks of an open source code base. The GPL even allows software to be sold as long as the source code is available. LGPL code can be used as libaries for fully closed apps if the lgpl portions are kept open.

This is a pretty small and niche view in the open source world. Think, Richard Stallman and a pretty small group of folks who follow him. Most folks are fine using commercial or proprietary solutions when it makes sense and the trade-offs are worth it.
