I don't know what part of "bothsides!!" you find as being valid when both sides are not acting equally.

One "side" is very much advancing the agenda of transparency and release. One is not.

That makes them very much unequal, which invalidates your theory.

You are making a very false assumption that motivations and policy never change over time. That's an equally ridiculous foundation to base an argument on. Things change, and policy changes to reflect those changed things, and it happens all the damn time.

Which is all well and good if you're talking about something you can easily replace.

Do realize that when someone spends $130M on a passenger jet, they expect to get a couple decades service out of it, and they aren't going to be ripping out the electronics every other year to upgrade like it's a PC - they upgrade things when they will either get more service revenue out of it (i.e. there's an RoI to be had), or if it's required on an airworthiness directive for safety.

Some of these systems were created before ECC was a thing. And more of them are using industrial components that are designed to work within a very specific range of operating conditions (temperature and power consumption being incredibly important) that even today may not be able to accept ECC RAM - for example, do you know of an off-the-shelf ARM64 CPU that can run inside of 15W and supports ECC? Neither does anyone else. Yet there are companies that are making avionics hardware that is not part of critical safety systems that run on ARM64 because of the power / heat dissipation problems.

It's a very difficult problem space without getting inordinately expensive due to having to make custom hardware at every single turn.

You do know that every single person doesn't have to be in the target demographic for a product, yeah?

If a small car doesn't offer you the needed features, DON'T BUY ONE.

That doesn't mean that it isn't a perfectly viable product for literally millions of other people with different conditions and constraints from yourself.

Because you don't understand that a prosecutor is not going to torpedo their own conviction on appeal by releasing everything and tainting future jury pools, should the case be remanded back to district court for further findings of fact?

Ghislaine Maxwell's Writ of Certiorari was denied on October 8 of this year by SCOTUS, exhausting all appeals.

Learn how the courts work please. Until all appeals are exhausted, the case files remain sealed without a court order saying otherwise. End of story. Asking why that is and trying to blame a President who kept his shit-digging hands OUT of the Department of Justice shows that you have no idea how any of this works.

Maybe the unanimous consent passage in the Senate will change your position?

Or perhaps every single Democrat in the House voting for the release of the files?

Or perhaps the great lengths gone to by the GOP leadership to prevent that vote to begin with? They held the House out of session for SIX WEEKS to delay the vote as long as possible while putting Republican members that signed the discharge petition in a headlock to get them to take their names off it - why?

Open your god damn eyes and stop with the "bothsides" bullshit. There is clearly one "side" that is acting in good faith, and one that is not. And you are arguing in bad faith for the side that is acting in bad faith, so just stop it.

Sorry, arresting under color of law without the due process of law is indeed unlawful detainment as spelled out by about 200 years of jurisprudence and the literal interpretation of the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. And if you go over state lines with your unlawful detainment, it's technically human trafficking.

EVERYONE gets due process, whether an "undocumented" or not. If you are geographically within the boundaries of the United States or its protectorates, you are guaranteed due process. Unless, of course, you happen to have brown skin apparently.

Open your damn eyes.

Except that you are describing the actual Congressional Review Act, which allows the Congress to tell the administration to go fuck themselves if they take issue with any administrative regulation that is proposed to be entered into the Federal Register under authority granted to it by Congress.

TL;DR: the Congress can change any administrative law they want, any time they want; because legislative law supercedes administrative regulatory authority created by legislative law.

And yet it's the Democratic leadership in the Congress forcing the issue on releasing all the documented evidence about the Epstein mess, not giving a single shit if anyone in the Democratic Party is named. They (rightfully) see this as an opportunity to clean house and get rid of the corrupt felon child abusers and sex traffickers while the GOP has been coddling and covering up for them.

I don't know how many "well ackshually..." posts I've seen alluding to Clinton getting wrapped up in all of this, followed by a litany of actual Democrats saying "so what? Child molesters need to go no matter what party affiliation they claim or what their name is" which there is never any response to.

Why is the GOP still trying to make it all go away with ever-increasing distraction? Who are they covering for?

You do realize there is a lot more exposure to electromagnetic radiation at 40,000 feet then there is at 1000 feet, yeah?

And you know that we've observed solar bursts causing bit-flips in RAM and SSD? Like, a lot?

So a solar flare causing additional EM and ionizing radiation, and increased exposure to it due to higher altitude might increase the probability of getting a few bit-flips in the systems, yeah?

No, they don't know for sure. But they have operational records that show higher exposure does cause these issues from time to time, and they correlate a higher blast of radiation at the time of the failure.

Producting plutonium isn't as much of a concerns as what particular isotope of plutonium they produce.

Produce Plutonium 240 or 241? No problem, 241 contaminates weapons because it spontaneously fissions and will cause a weapon with more than a single-digit percent of 241 to "fissile" and just make a localized mess.

Produce Plutonium 239 and no other Pu isotope? Weapons proliferation concerns, won't ever get built in the US.

For what it's worth, all commercial power reactors produce plutonium as part of their operation. That plutonium continues to capture neutrons the longer it's in the reactor and turns from what you want for weapons into something you really do not. The longer it's in there, the less suitable it is for weapons.

And there is no known way to perform isotope separation on Plutonium. Whatever you get, you get. And if the non-239 percentage is too high, you have just made more mixed-oxide reactor fuel.

Perhaps the board thinks the linear cable assets are worth more than the valuation that Paramount Skydance have given it, and the Netflix deal was accepted because they think they can get more for it as a separate entity?

Yes, it is how they work.

Any satellite connectivity is a part of the in-flight connectivity solution that is sequestered to the passenger WLAN.

You still don't know what the fuck you are talking about, and I'm tired of it. Stop trying to tell people that work on these systems, and develop these systems literally every day how you think they work, because you do not know anything.

So when the summary of the article specifically mentions the "data loader" device that they use, you are saying that they don't use a data loader device to load things into aircraft.

You are still a fucking moron. Here's another hint for you: when an airline is spending several million dollars to outfit an aircraft with in-flight entertainment hardware, they don't throw that hardware out every year. You can very likely tell this is the case if you pay attention to the seat-back hardware - it's likely running ANDROID 7 for fucks sake.

You think they rip out the headends and replace them with any greater frequency, when each rack costs about a quarter-million dollars?

Fucking moron. Stay in your lane.

Just because they *can* make a product segment does not mean that they will.

Besides, if GM got to work today, they might have a viable product in 4 years. And in that time, the already viable products being made by Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, etc. will already be here serving the purpose because they already exist and all they need to do is roll a few thousand of them into a container ship.

Besides, if your average car buyer in North America wanted smaller, they already would be buying smaller vehicles than the giant crossover shitboxes they are buying. It's not like you can't find a Corolla Hatchback if you want to.

There is nothing new about that at all.

I work for a company that would much rather sell product to end customers at full price than to keep a portion of our limited production output to ourselves for no revenue at all. It probably shouldn't surprise many people that we would rather keep customers happy by delivering on the promised schedule while taking in a lot of money from them for the privilege, and finding other ways to satisfy the internal need, such as sharing with other teams that might already have what is needed.

TBF I'm referring to our product that we only make about 3,000 of a year; and each one has been spoken for for a few years already and costs about a quarter-million per copy, so all things may not be equal.

Chicken Little effect.

In the standard operation of Windows, you are presented with so many stupid permissions dialogs for shit that isn't a problem, that you reflexively approve on things that could be problems.

When everything tells you the sky is falling, you don't pay attention when the sky actually falls.
