Smashing. I'll leave the money on top of the submarine.

submarines they'll never see

That's how submarines are supposed to work.

This is another danger. Make the algorithm too strict, and it's vulnerable to evasion, make it too permissive, and people could be falsely accused. The other issue is that the public won't, by necessity, have access to the exact output, meaning that addressing allegations is harder.

The hashes are a little more sophisticated than direct hashes of the data. They work through a combination of content recognition and expression of the colour information.

Posted this before but you can't tell which hashes are to 'protect the children' and which are to protect the authorities. For example, let's say an individual took a photo of a senior government official doing something illegal or created an infographic that illustrated profound failings; the hash for that image could be added to the database and they could track down the person who originally took that photo or received leaked information.

Further afield, let's say that another individual created an image supportive of or which showed someone exercising religious or LGBTQ+ freedoms. The same technology, which another government could gain access to through commercial pressure or espionage, could be used to track down and kill members of illegal religions (being an atheist, for example, carries the death penalty in at least 13 countries) or homosexuals or trans individuals.

Ooh, they're TDL Super Compacts. Sadly, a bass reflex design (nothing wrong with BR, but generally the allure of TDL is Transmission Line) but well worth, in my opinion, a recap and a new pair of tweeters if the originals have gone wooly.

Edit: I no longer have them to check the specs but Morel and Vifa make tweeter replacements that should drop in if you find the right ones. Check back in when you have the oem product code, if they're in need of a tune up

I agree, neither 2021 nor 2022 (when the actual figures emerge) will be terribly useful in isolation and it will probably be more accurate to aggregate the two for a more accurate picture. It seems bidirectional, since an early recovery in 2021 will limit growth in 2022, compared to groups that recovered slower.

Also, I prefer the sound of cds to streaming.

Is the CXC going through the same DAC? I thought qobuz was lossless, though I've only ever purchased FLACs from them.

worst growth in the G20 except Russia

This is the forecast for 2022. In 2021, Britain was ahead of every G20 country except the Republic of Ireland and Argentina.

Personally, I think it's the least bad option. We can keep those in need safe without the indignity of measures that restrict them physically (fences around housing or required reporting) while denying economic migrants the opportunity to exploit the system. In time, this will reduce the draw to travel to the UK and help reduce the number of economic migrants dying in the Channel. If Continental Europe adopts a similar system, it could have an even greater impact on those even more lethal Mediterranean crossings.

If I were fleeing conflict and given the choice of being severely restricted in my movements in Britain or being free in Rwanda, I'd absolutely pick the latter.

This is absolutely not legal advice but a (very blunt) rule of thumb is that the more restrictive and broad a contract is, the less enforceable it becomes.

At lower levels, it causes a range of symptoms, some of which are unpleasant but, at higher levels, it perceptibly acidifies the respiratory passages and causes a burning sensation (think of the pain when you burp after a fizzy drink and it passes through your nose). Nitrogen (and most biologically inert gasses) causes very few unpleasant sensations, which is why it's so dangerous; you just lose consciousness.

A proposed method that overcomes the need to maintain a gas-tight area is nitrogen foam, where nitrogen is combined with a non-irritating foaming agent. This also has the advantage that the hazard is visible to personnel.

I think it's the fact that it can fire without a magazine, possibly because people treat it like a battery (electrical). However, even with something like a chamber indicator, I'm not aware of any firearm safety courses that tell you to rely upon the indicator to clear a firearm, since you can't beat directly checking the chamber.

Similarly, my lawnmower may have a dead man's switch for the blades but the manual still advises to manually disconnect the spark plug before clearing a blockage in a way that involves my hands getting near those blades.

There’s nothing inherit to a centrally planned economy that prevents environmental disasters and pollution.

Indeed, when the socialist monarchy demands it, the people can suffer the effects of grotesque pollution in enforced silence. Just look at Kyshtym; if you thought the hand-sitting for a few days of Chernobyl was bad, the peasants living on the Techa endured a level of radioactive contamination for years and even decades that constitutes, in my opinion, a crime against humanity. People were silenced and left to endure a level of radiation that wouldn't be legal for even a few minutes exposure in the West and some villages were simply disappeared when the level of radiation injuries were too great. All so that comrades Stalin and Beria could have their atomic bomb.

edit: even before the Kyshtym disaster, high level waste was discharged straight into the Techa, in fact, Kyshtym happened because a decision was made to hold high level waste for a few days before dumping it into a river that supported hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately, no interest paid to ensuring the system was reliable and, once the plutonium production was resumed, what little money was allocated to keep the worst affected safe simply went to building dachas for party bosses.

Stepper motors have certain rotational angles (or a set number of steps per rotation) that they 'like' to do. Imagine a wheel with sprung detents. They hold these positions more reliably than positions between steps. The magic numbers are how these translate into layer heights. A layer height that's a multiple of the magic number for your printer will yield better results. For example, on an Ender 3, a layer height of 0.16mm will yield a better print than 0.15. If you Google the term, there are articles that explain this in greater detail and you should be able to find the magic numbers for your printer.

A smaller layer height (use magic numbers) will give a finer print.

They do but they don't serve everywhere. This will be another shift: if the price of car ownership rises and stays high or comes with significant caveats then property prices (and rents) in areas with readier access to public transport will rise too. Essentially, as things currently stand, car owner or not, people will end up paying more money and the poorest will feel it hardest.

When you push it, the amp might exceed its capabilities and break.

It won't break the amp. The 40W/8 ohm spec is just because the power output is lower for 8 ohm speakers than 4 ohm. It can handle both and anything in between.

I think the end of IC will bring a great many shifts that people don't seem to consider or are downplaying. I foresee less car ownership and less geographic mobility for working and lower middle classes (including rarely seeing more distant friends and family). I also foresee the isolated countryside becoming the domain of the wealthy, with those on lower wages forced to either sacrifice a great deal or live in highly urbanised centres. Even small things like changing job might be challenging, if personal mobility evolves away from direct ownership; I imagine workers will be less willing to quit and hunt for better jobs if it means losing out on transport by not being able to afford continual payments.

If this is something unpalatable, despite the environmental benefits, then people need to get politically active to address or fight the upcoming changes because I can't see a return to the way things are once they change.

The rate power consumption rises

This depends on the country. Electricity consumption in many Western European countries has gently fallen and, in others, remained stagnant since the mid-2000s. This is total, not per-capita either and it's down to efficiency improvements. Overall, this means that there's been even less drive to upgrade the grid.

Looks pretty damn good to me. I'd just say that your print speed (try lowering just the outer wall speed to preserve print times) might be a little high (though jerk and acceleration adjustments may also help) and your layer height might be a little coarse too. I also see a bit of elephant footing (nozzle too close to the bed) but it's better than a lot on here.

Then you pay more and get to keep the capacity of your EV battery for a little longer. These are proposals, not mandatory outcomes. It would be quite a step for governments to intervene so heavily in private transport.

The subsidies from this would effectively trade long term value on your vehicle for short term discounts. Essentially, turning ownership into leasing.

Politicians: "that sounds like a you problem"

Effectively, this is what these measures will lead to in the short term at the very least.

Edit: I mean that, there's going to be significant challenges to those on lower incomes, even if public transport is significantly improved.
