I don’t think that’s news here. Before Trump became relevant we’ve had Christoph Blocher already, who is pretty Trump-like (right wing populist using racist anti-immigration rhetoric).

Luckily we don’t have a presidential system, nor one with a prime minister, so the highest he could and did reach was just being part of the seven person executive council.

That council is elected by parliament, which did not confirm him for a second term. He was in it from 2004-2007 (our executive council terms align with calendar years).

I think the original challenge was that you must choose one guard to pose your one question to. Not one question to both guards.

I haven’t been following any crypto for years, but isn’t burning the pre-mined tokens the bare minimum to keep up appearances?

If you don’t do at least that, do people even go for your shitcoin?

Precisely. Smoother than the finest silks.

Yeah it sounds weird, right? Microsoft also has in the minimum requirements that it needs 20 GB of storage, which seems incredible to me. Maybe they are expecting companies to strip out more before embedding it in devices.

Anyway, for our purposes it seems Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is missing only very few things. I believe the Microsoft Store, Xbox App and Cortana are not on there. Supposedly you can add them back if you need.

But since I converted an existing Windows 10 Pro install, I even kept those (not that I want them…), and I’m still getting the security updates.

keep using 10

And make sure you convert your install to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Security updates until January 2032.

And completely smooth, right?

That seems like a good distribution for digital art and entertainment.

That claim isn’t just a lie regarding the consumer preferences, but also the technological developments. It’s not impossible to predict at all; when talking about long term limits the picture is pretty clear.

We already know that a fiber can carry 20 terabits per second, because it’s already doing it in backbone ISP connections today. If necessary and economical this can be done towards individual houses in 40 years. The only hard thing to predict is the speed of price decay. But as a sort of anchor value I can tell you a pair of transceivers for 100 Gigabit per second over 10 km can be bought for 500 USD right now.

We also know that radio links are fundamentally limited by the Shannon limit, which relates the possible bit rate to the spectral bandwidth given a noisy channel (like our atmosphere). Maybe you’ll get a few dozen GHz of spectrum usable from space, in the mmWave region. And with that you probably reach dozens of gigabits per second. There is still a lot more to be had than today, sure, but with a definitive limit not too far off.

To be clear the Shannon limit applies to the optical transport in fiber too, but there we are working with around 4500 GHz of usable spectrum just between 191.5 THz and 196.0 THz (the conventional band for DWDM), way way way more than radio will ever have by the nature of things. And people are expanding that range downwards to 184.5 THz already, and that’s in the market, not just in research.

Honestly, I’d still pick hard. Breezing through games just isn’t as fun as having the occasional struggle on the way.

I think it was time on October 26, 2018.

Whew Alps is barely still in the top ten.

It does not.

Is the bottom one made to look better with AI, is that a feature of the used car market these days?

Same thing. The group of designers who founded the art style in the 80s called themselves Memphis, then the Corporate Art inspired by it in the last ten years or so was called Corporate Memphis. Alegria is the specific name for the art style that Facebook commissioned and used in 2017.

Don’t give them any ideas, someone will combine the two. Machine generated Memphis slop-slop.

It’s funny in the first place to argue from what “they allow”. The customer doesn’t have to care about your internal policies, fucko. Fulfill your end of the bargain.
