Garman was one of the first PMs at AWS. He was sent over to lead Sales/Marketing relatively recently to get demand side experience presumably in preparation to take over as CEO.

I wonder if part of the motivation in releasing this is legitimizing the Flipper as a hobby/development product and not a tool for crime, as it’s been depicted in media recently. I personally appreciate the Flipper in that it’s shedding light on how insecure common RF technology is.

Yep, I have an 2017 iMac at home and won’t be able to use CKV unless a sign out of iCloud on that machine.

The Thompson Center has been dilapidated for a long time and used a tremendous amount of energy to heat and cool. It needs to be replaced.

The issue you mentioned is why I can’t use the Plex client for playback. I use Infuse which handles seeking fine so clearly it’s not an unsolvable problem. Crazy Plex hasn’t addressed it.

I think OP is referencing how the royal/political class and clergy shared power in a sort of adversarial relationship in classical European society.

Lots of peoples reaction to this is that suicide is always bad when done by firearm because it’s gruesome or frightening to them. I would ask that these people introspect and ask if their own emotions and biases are leading them to this conclusion. If the goal here is to let people live and die on their own terms, then this seems like a particularly hypocritical take. I think to many, suicide by gun is favorable as more immediate, private, and time and place are entirely within your own control.

If you’re interested in genomics I’d recommend working for a commercial entity in clinical/translational genomics side rather than in academia. I have worked for a few of the big names in the space and although they had their problems the work was very rewarding as you’re closer to the patient impact.

Renewable energy investment makes up about 80% of investment in the power sector, and annual increases continue to outpace oil and gas investment (this year may be weird because of the Energy crisis in Europe). Renewables are not everywhere today because it takes time for the industry to mature and for utilization to increase, not because there is a conspiracy by Big Oil to somehow control investment flows.

Always been fascinating to me as an American to see how hunting and shooting gear is marketed and sold in Europe. It’s closer to luxury goods retail than the American experience where it’s all generally treated as sporting equipment no matter if it’s at a “luxury” price point.

Ya, their predicted descent velocity/lethality is not right. Most ammunition will destabilize and begin to tumble long before it reaches its peak as it transitions from supersonic to subsonic.

My guess would be the dangerous situation here is intoxicated people shooting up in the air but then also in other directions in a careless inebriated state.
