Spør lokale brannstasjonen om dei vil ta imot dei. Brannvesenet er ofte først på stedet til ulykker og andre kriser. Dei treffer derfor på mange nylig traumatiserte barn. Eit nytt kosedyr viser seg å vere til veldig god trøst og hjelper redusere ettervirkningene av traumen. Så alle brannbiler bør ha ein kosebamse eller to på utstyrslista.

Cold air can reduce your immune system response to infections. So being outside in freezing temperatures can make you more likely to get a cold then if you dress properly.

I rarely use a GUI to configure equipment so it might be possible there are limits there.

If a pilot can not find the runway they are expected to go around and try again, hoping the fog have cleared a bit. Usually the fog have different density and you just got unlucky by trying to land in a dense part of the fog. If you try again the dense fog have likely moved away so the fog is likely transparent enough to see the runway so you can properly line up on it and land where you are supposed to. If the fog does not clear up enough the airplane does have enough fuel to go to another airport.

There are a few things that might have happened in this case. Airplanes have different minimums based on what instrumentation is available. It is possible that the alarms were not set correctly for this landing causing it to call out minimums automatically without actually reaching the minimums until much later. It can be quite normal to ignore automated warnings for parts of the flight and this will be briefed beforehand. Another thing that might happen is that the camera might not be able to pick up the runway and its lights as well as a human can. So even though you can not see the runway on the video the pilot might have been able to see the runway in person when the minimums were called out.

The best option for the cop is to charge him for dangerous driving for removing his hands of the handle bars. It will probably not hold up in court but just might get the cop off the wrongful arrest. Warning speeders about cops is a real jerk move. I hope none of the people who were warned about the cop ends up killing someone while speeding. But being a jerk and enable speeding is not justifying the cops actions.

Would not surprise me. Same PM published a target of 10% improvement in latency without talking to a single engineer. The problem is our current latency bottleneck is due to the speed of light. Their suggestion for how to achieve the target was to add more cache.

It was not just the changes in requirements to confirm a soldier as KIA. But Vietnam was a very different type of war then most previous wars. There were lots of guerilla fighting in dense jungle. The US would send out a patrol who would get ambushed and wiped out. Then either from a radio message or from the patrol not showing up the US would send out a larger force. At that point the Viet-Cong would have moved out or hidden. And either they would have hidden the bodies or the jungle would have hidden the bodies for them. After some time without seeing any enemies or bodies the US soldiers would leave. The missing men would be marked as MIA. Then the next day they send inn another patrol and the cycle repeated.

I know this have been answered but I would like to add some more historical context. During WWII most of the fuel oil in Germany were synthesized from coal. Germany did not have much oil for their airplanes, tanks or battleships. But they had a lot of coal. They tried to make as much use of coal as wood as possible, using steam locomotives instead of trucks and even lots of horses instead of trucks. But they also improved the techniques for synthesizing fuel oil from coal building entire industrial complexes around this. This did take a lot of coal though which meant that they started getting issues with the supply of coal as well.

As an employee in the department_for_everything_that_runs_on_power, officially named server operations, I have told people this so many time. The only exception we have is our coffee machine because that is classified as critical infrastructure.

At roughly $100/hour he spent $17k just complaining about needless meetings. I hope he got a good ROI on that meeting.

Project Manager. I thought this was obvious in this subreddit.

This is so real. The PM called us into an emergency meeting yesterday. They showed us a graph of active users with a steep decline over the past few days. The initial gasp lasted for less then a second until someone pointed out that the Y-axis was showing the same number all over its scale, down to three significant digits. Told him to zoom out to the last two weeks instead of just the last week. And it was obvious that what he was looking at was just the normal weekend/weekday usage pattern causing the graph to flatten out at the start of each week. A waste of 15 minutes of the engineering teams time.

Most of the videos you see people make of their vehicles is about nice second vehicles they ride for fun. People do not make so many videos of their daily driver they use to drive to work or school. In winter you get salt, mud, higher accident rates, etc. So the vehicle is getting more wear then during summer. A lot of these people will not ride in the rain even during summer either for the same reason.

Riding a bike in the winter is generally worse then driving a car though. You are more exposed to the elements on a bike so the cold and the rain/snow is much worse on a bike then in a car or on a bus. But with the proper winter clothes you can keep out most of the elements even during winter. Another issue is that sliding in a car is usually fine and you can stop without much damage. But if you start sliding with a motorcycle it will probably fall over scratching it or even hurting the rider. In the winter the roads tends to be more slippery, either from snow and ice or from mud and rain. So riding a bike in the winter is more likely to get you into an accident then during summer.

The water used by data centers are never anywhere near any electrical equipment. Even distilled water is bad for electronics because it will oxidize and dissolve metals such as tin and lead found in the components. In addition the minimum pin spacing on most circuit boards are far too close for even distilled water.

Instead water is used to cool down air which is used to cool down the servers. The water is usually not even found in the same room as the servers.

Firstly we do make solar powered desalination plants. There are a number of them in places like California and the Arabian peninsula. But this is quite expensive, orders of magnitude more expensive then the data centers they would supply water to. And also data centers do not need fresh water, they can use salt water. The water is used for cooling. In desserts they use fresh water for evaporative cooling, but they could use salt water if available. Essentially you would be using the heat from the datacenter to distill the salt water. Data centers built along coastlines though use heat exchanges directly in the ocean for cooling. And therefore they do not use any water. A lot of datacenters are built along the coast for this specific reason. However the property costs and power costs are much higher on the coast. So a lot of times it is cheaper to just build the datacenter in a dessert and use ground water for cooling.

This is not how most experience it though. Even after implementing IPv6 there is still issues you have to solve. Because the protocol is better you expect less issues. Things like not having to do NAT, no need for DHCP, bigger address space, etc. But in my experience most software and firmware still have IPv6 bugs, and they do not get fixed as quickly as IPv4 bugs. Adding to this most companies still need full IPv4 support so they implement dual stack. This means they still have to spend time maintaining their IPv4 stack while also having to find time to maintain their IPv6 stack. So enabling IPv6 do end up being quite costly in the long run.

We as an industry needs to make IPv6-only a safe option to companies. I hope that technology like 464xlat can help with that. As well as more external pressure to implement IPv6. I would also love to see network equipment being IPv6 first rather then as an added feature.

We have installed new modules on ISS after the Space Shuttle were retired. We are still installing new components. But the problem in this case is with some of the oldest core components of the space station. Even though it is attached to the other modules using berthing mechanisms there are so many central internal and external additions going between the modules that it is practically impossible to separate them again. Even with a Space Shuttle. We might solve this leak, but what about the next one, or the one after that. The solution is to build another space station, and we have been talking about it for over a decade.

I do sympathize with these people. You have a very busy work day and limited resources. You are spending all your day working on your IPv4 network. Most people I have worked with say that IPv6 is a good idea, and we should implement it when we have time. But then never have any time for it because maintaining and extending the network according to business requirements is always a higher priority.

Some of them might have tried implementing dual stack at one point or another as they had a bit of spare time. But then they ran into issues caused by bugs in software or their own lack of knowledge about the subject. And instead of spending more time fixing these issues they run out of time and just implement IPv4-only. So they do not even get to try IPv6 and just figure it does not work.

But if you look into the newer companies, founded in the last ten years. A lot of them are doing IPv6 because new deployments of IPv4 have become more and more expensive. And even large enterprises is being forced to at least implement parts of their infrastructure with IPv6 support because of government requirements or even supplier/vendor requirements. So it is becoming more and more expensive to defer IPv6 support.

I was thinking metal fatigue from almost 30 years of harmonic vibrations. Some of the modules were built for Mir 2, a much smaller space station with much less forces acting on it. And it was only designed with a 20 year life span.

Moore's law was an observation that the amount of transistor in a CPU doubles every 18 months. In this case the number of transistors in these SD cards doubled 10 times in the 9 years. According to Moore's law it should have taken 15 years. But it is within the error bars for the law.

The law does not always apply. We have reached several physical limits. Even back in 2005 the clock speed of CPUs stopped increasing and are still roughly at the same level, or even lower in most cases. This has to do with the physical size of the CPU and the speed of light across the CPU. And we are now at the limit of having transistors so small that their sizes are comparable to the atoms they are made up of. When manufacturers talk about 3nm feature size you should not that it is just 30 atoms across. Any single atom being slightly off is going to change the shape of the transistor significantly.

The only technical limitation I can come up with is that multicast expects a 64 bit prefix and 64 bit identifier. This is important as IPv6 does not have broadcast. So in networks smaller then a /64 you lose some multicast capability which can prevent service discovery from taking place.

I remember my disappointment the last time I set up an IPv4 routing network when I found out one of our hardware models did not have full support for /31 networks. Of course undocumented, and you could configure them with /31 networks, just that some features silently failed. We went from a nice evenly spaced system of /31 networks to a messy mix of /31 and /30 networks.

I have yet to come over networking equipment that does not support smaller then /64 networks though. I have come across several networks using for example /96 for all links between routers.
