- FWIW the "industry sources say" line on the incident is that it occurred on 30 October[1], so further back than ten days ago but of course there may have been other CME incidents at that time.
The European Agency Aviation Safety Agency [2] instruction describes the characteristics of the incident but not the date.

- I don't have ADHD but I would find that useful (I'm not a mac user so your implementation is not for me).
I have used pomodoro timers that have a sound (for instance a clock ticking) and that's a useful way to be reminded. Unfortunately the ones I've seen to date have a reasonably limited range of sound configuration options, generally a one second tick. I would prefer to hear a quiet sound every thirty seconds, I'd also be interested in the option of a voice announcing, say, every five minutes elapsed.
- > I think with these kinds of ideological issues, all one can do is vote with their wallet
Needs to be viewed in the light of the distinctly un-open market in which airlines operate. There are only so many airports, and only so many slots. I might wish to start another airline which customers may use an open solution but the reality is that incumbents have a massive moat around them. No market, that I know of, is perfect but air travel is an unusually distorted one.
- > Banning personalised ads
I'm in favour of anything that tries to address the appaling effects of social media, but as long as there is advertising that will, surely, be some sort of personalisation. In the past you bought a magazine about, say, gardening, and all the ads were about gardening. The advertisers were betting that most people reading a gardening magazine were interested in gardening products, the ads were, to some degree, personalised.
If online 'personalised' ads were banned how would personalised be defined ?
- > Down here in NZ the govt subsidizes an aluminium smelter which uses 13% of the national electricity just to provide 3,000 jobs
I'm not in favour of giving the smelter owners a sweet deal but I believe there is some nuance which is lost in your comment.
When you say subsidize I assume you're talking about the price the smelter pays for electricty (I'm not aware of any direct subsidy).
Until about 2022 the transmission lines out of Manapouri heading north could only handle a part of what Manapouri could produce, other lines headed towards Tiwai Point to feed the smelter with the balance of Manapouri's output. This meant that negotiating electricity prices with the smelter owners was tricky because it was perfectly clear that there was nowhere else to take the electricity. In the past five years more capacity has been added to allow electricity from Manapouri to reach the National Grid and so, I presume, this significantly dilutes downward price pressure from the smelter.
- > The people who buy these cameras would probably be better served by upgrading their phones.
I'm sorry if this too far off topic but I routinely go to use my phone's camera and the ambient light level is so high I can barely see what I'm intending to photograph, and I certainly can't see the on-screen controls.
I've seen hoods intended to over your head and into which the phone fits and this would, I assume, resolve the issue but by comparison a point and click with a 'proper' viewfinder (perhaps with the rubber surround some used to have) would be a very good solution by comparison.
- | Regarding Teams desktop app vs web app: Is there a big difference? I don't have experience with the web app.
I seem to recall : it would only work on Edge; and you couldn't share your screen in the web environment.
I say "only work on Edge" but, to be fair, it's possible I may not have tried Chrome as I never use it. It didn't work on Firefox.
- At least until such time as his polling stumbles the GOP will do absolutely anything he says. And Trump will do whatever it takes to keep the grease coming in, I really think him turning on the printing presses is a long from the least likely scenario.
Would the GOP have to eat large quantities of excrement, yes. Have they become used to doing that (cf Epstein), yes.
- Great looking tool, thanks. Looking through your "Futures" on the README I do think ... "Add videos demonstrating common concepts and attacks (such as race attack, finney attack etc)." ... would certainly make it accessible to a wider audience which, given the amount of effort you've put in, seems like a good idea.
Something like these two videos, only based on your tool, would be very good - to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_160oMzblY8 (Part 1), https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xIDL_akeras (Part 2) .
- Almost certain that I was using the mouse.
I just went and tried to do the same thing again and it worked as expected. This may be due to you having made changes but if you haven't there was something else I was going to mention which may be relevant. When I started the 'How to play' section on the first occasion I got the 'Would you like cookies with that?' dialog which I responded to before starting the 'How to play'. When the 'How to play' behaved oddly I did just wonder whether it was somehow related to the cookies dialog. The reason I mention this is because having gone back to try it today I was, understandably, not prompted by the cookies dialog so (just maybe) the 'how to play' getting stuck is related to the cookies dialog ? Just an idea.
- > hint- the wealthiest man in the world for 20 straight years
Your hint doesn't help me much because, as far as I can tell, no individual has been considered the wealthiest person in the world for a period of twenty consecutive years since John P Getty[1], and he's been dead for fifty years. It seems unlikely that he had views about vaccine policy in the USA which are relevant to today, so who are you referring to?

- I hope this helps with feedback.
After having pressed "learn to play" I got to the bit "Give it a try and form the word E N D" but the UI was frozen . I then selected "Exit how to play" but that left the URL unchanged so I was sent back to the start of the tour.
This is on Firefox on Windows.
- I was surprised to read this.
I don't have access to the standard for the mDL's being discussed, that is ISO/IEC 18103-5 [1] but I have found a number of accessible resources [2][3] which suggest selective disclosure is supported.
I would be interested to learn more about the gap you suggest exists between what is claimed and what is, due to the underlying cryptography, possible.
Can you provide more details ?

- "One of the things that stood out to me right away was how dreadful UI looked. Not only it felt uninviting, but it almost felt “gatekeepy” - if you don’t know how to use it in this configuration, then might as well forget about it."
I'm puzzled how we get from unintuitive interface to "gatekeepy" (which I'm assuming implies a deliberate attempt to make the set of users small). Things can be difficult to use without anyone setting out to exclude new users, some things _are_ difficult to use, and other things are written by people who haven't been paid to make them address the needs of a wider range of users than they want to.
- Where I live during the Rugby and Soccer seasons it's not uncommon for the 'normal' pitches to be unplayable due to consistent periods of rain.
A number of schools, and public facilities, near me have switched to plastic pitches for this reason. I'm not advocating for them but there is a rationale.
BTW it's not just that being very muddy makes it difficult to play on but that using the pitch in that state trashes the grass.
- > DoD is also contracting for $200 million for grok
Somewhat to one side but when up to USD800 million is being spent (Grok, is not the only AI shaped snout at the trough) it's depressing to see the vagueness of the supposed uses [1] (in a five line paragraph this is the most specific description of why that need to spend the money ... "to support our warfighters and maintain strategic advantage over our adversaries")
- It is a bit weird, like the OP missed out "for the first time" after 'U.K.' but really the underlying article is there for the clicking, it's written at a level 12 year olds could read and it's a two minute read so the headline being a bit wonky is not going to lead to long term confusion.
- What makes me laugh (sardonically) is that I would have hoped that, as well as considering what the costs are to the suppliers, the law might also have taken into account the size of the injury being suffered by consumers. And that if that injury was large enough then that problem should override concern the cost to the companies that have chosen to use sharp practices in maintaining their revenue flow.
Maybe you saw something in the quoted text that I didn't but I understood the USD100M to mean the costs that would arise due to companies who are currently utilising these practices stopping those practices. There's not an ongoing cost to those companies unless you call the deprivation to them of the revenue they shouldn't be receiving because their customers no longer wish to buy the service a cost.
> After all, those costs are eventually going to be passed down to consumers
And when they are the consumers will be able to stop buying off those companies, well, I mean, as long as they can cancel their subscription.
- I'd be interested to know under what circumstances pip executes arbitrary code while resolving dependencies ... how does that work ?
And while I'm here ... how does uv go about mitigating typosquatting risks ? I could imagine how it might issue warnings if you perhaps it notices you requesting "dlango", which would work OK for the top 10% but are you suggesting there's some more general solution built into uv ?
I did a quick search but 'typosquatting' is not an easy string to cut through.
I feel that sometimes there's a desire on the part of those who use tool X that everyone should use tool X. For some types of technology (car seat belts, antibiotics...) that might be reasonable but otherwise it seems more like a desire for validation of the advocate's own choice.
