your terminal shouldn't have access to your user directory? As in the files owned by you?

The article you cited does not agree with your assertions. It specifically tells you how and when to evaluate the use of an anonymous source.

If you don't ever use anonymous sources, many fewer people will talk to you. Being on the record about something that will get you fired, will get you fired - and then no one talks to journalists.

What separates actual ethical journalists from the rest is doing everything the article you cited suggests - validating information with alternative sources, understanding motives, etc.

depends how fasts it is moving - but it's all moving at the same speed. The last chip will get less cooling than the first chip, proportional to the amount of cooling the previous chips received. Delta T doesn't lie.

Whether it's significant or not, I can't know - but you want it to be significant, otherwise it's less efficient.

in their first serial design, that's exactly what it was doing.

It's certainly niche, but NY-LON sees ~3 million non-connecting passengers a year.

If they can make it quiet enough to be supersonic over land, it's a lot more compelling. But even being supersonic for the atlantic crossing will shave hours off of most EU routes from NY.

I think the bigger problem is the time changes on a lot of routes make EU flights pretty efficient - you don't want the overnight flights to be shorter really (and I wish most were longer).

maybe more so.

Only for patents used in standards - where the standard enforces FRAND/RAND/other licensing schemes to insure that 'standards-required' patents are available to all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminat...

This is Qualcomm's big business (and others), getting their patents into standards like 5G and then charging people a fair amount to use it - and they have to license it to everyone, even their arch nemesis. Or you just buy their chips.

For a patent of something you invented, but did not submit to become part of a standards-body, you absolutely can choose not to license it for any amount of money.

they're still going to have to CGNAT 65% of your traffic that's IPv4 only.

Yes, look at ebay - there are plenty of boxes for apple gear for sale. There are collectors, just like vinyl.

At least on iOS, only with MDM profiles for managed devices tagged as company owned I believe.

Not in the US - I think they use diameter and weight.

There are permanent staff. The issue of time isn't any individual regulator - it's that there's regulators in every country they operate in. And the company is negotiating with them all simultaneously - figuring out what would make the EU say yes, and then taking that to the US and see if that will let them say yes, then going to Japan and making sure they'll say yes, then going to India - and you don't want some of them knowing that everyone else has already said yes, because then they'll hold out to get some last special thing.

These are complicated negotiations, in many complicated jurisdictions.

How quick do you think they should be? For everyone to understand the potential ramifications and consult appropriate industry experts? Let competitors et al file briefs?

Aren't they like 4x the price too?
