brianorca , to world in Egypt changed terms of Gaza ceasefire deal presented to Hamas, surprising negotiators, sources say

The whole point of a public key is it can be publicized. Use any public publishing method, the more public the better.

We knew the deal was changed, but not by who. (As far as I know.)

Replace NT in this list with ME and you have all the consumer versions. NT versions 3.5 and 4 were the business versions in parallel with 95, 98, and ME.

Or maybe Israel just isn’t sharing their plans with the US administration anymore?

I do a lot of code. That means I often deal with three or four programs at the same time, and perhaps 10 loaded throughout the day and I want to see them all. So I have two monitors that are each 27" and 4k.

This means I can see a web browser sized to a full 1080 size, next to a database query, and still see the code that I’m working on, and keep an eye on any new emails or text chats. Without needing to Alt-tab to switch windows. It’s like spreading your work over a dining room table, instead of those little desks you got in high school.

Most apps don’t need to be larger than 1080. But some can be taller to see more code (maybe 160 lines, for example) without scrolling too much. And I hardly ever deal with just one window at a time.

Some of that may not be subjective, even if it is a personal difference. Some need glasses, some don’t get glasses because they just barely need them, and others have problems glasses can’t fix, especially as we age. Some eyes are just different, and that’s physical differences, not just a difference of preference.

Hair is hair. At least they didn’t use wall paint.

brianorca , to news in Federal judge indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial

There are allegations, and even a court filling from the prosecutor, that the boxes of evidence have not been maintained in original condition, and that evidence photos may have been staged by the FBI to appear more damming.

Rockets don’t have a lot of moving parts that are NOT valves of some kind.

brianorca , to memes in This is beyond my understanding

I’m switching back and forth at will, which is unusual for me with this type of illusion.

brianorca , to science_memes in Voyager 1

Nearly all such satellites would have highly directional antennas, so the aliens would have to be neat earth before they could do that. Voyager is not expecting a command signal from anywhere else but Earth. The signal would have to originate not more than a fraction of a degree from Earth from Voyager’s perspective.

They are cancelling flights because those specific airports don’t have the equipment to provide a precision landing (ILS) during low visibility weather. They only published a landing procedure with GPS. They will now spend a few months installing the ILS system to enable such landings so they can resume commercial flights.

Before GPS, all airports would be either VFR only or would have an ILS system installed. Since then, some airports were built without an expensive ILS but used a published GPS approach to allow low-vis landings.

They could have continued flights with only VFR navigation, but that would seriously restrict the weather they could operate in.

brianorca , to science_memes in kids are gowing up faster and faster

And now here in California, they are starting “Transitional Kindergarten” or TK for the 4 year olds, before they go to Kindergarten at five. (More focus on reading and writing than a typical Preschool.) TK is offered at the normal public schools, and at most private schools that have K and up.

brianorca , to science_memes in epidemiology

Prions wouldn’t work like that. They would have to be very similar, and the same chirality, as our own proteins, or else the misfold would not self-replicate like prion diseases do.

Not all of them have been peaceful, and it’s still private property and they can ask you to leave, with legal consequences if you don’t. And a lot of the rhetoric and chants have advocated violence.
