Oh lord. Even Supermicro BMCs from 2020 still have Java applet support. On the plus side, it only does TLS v1.2 and serves certificates properly. Let's ignore that it's also very, very slow.
Edit: APC NMC2/3 don't allow of loading of conventional PEM PKCS#8 certificates. They require proprietary variations of "PKCS#12" certs and have no readily-available tool to change them. Also, APC's new owner has switched to a business model where they charge for firmware updates and refuse to patch devices without $$$$.
It's not a valid critique of lean or TPMS, it's the liability introduced with sole-source vendors. This a problem in every company that isn't vertically integrated and makes physical objects. "Irreplaceable supplier" must be made a non sequitur by deliberate incubation, partnering, incentivizing, and other strategies to ensure the health of suppliers providing critical inputs.
Based on the context, my guess is they meant to type TPS (or mistakenly added the M on purpose). It seems clear to me they are discussing the invalidity of criticizing 'lean' or 'TPMS( likely TPS)' as processes when the real issue is sole-source suppliers.
Not a huge deal and not a surprise. This aims to stop opportunists profiting from dual-purpose items sent to war zones and arming US adversaries, and to maintain domestic supplies that are under stress.
Another problem outside of the civilian arena is lack of DoD oversight and regulation of the military-industrial complex to ensure it can function and doesn't create a single-points of failure. Layers of mergers and outsourcing create a web of ownership that the DoD has all but given up on tracking. And when the sole-source vendor for a specialized component forgets or decommissions the tools, materials, sources, and knowledge for restarting an assembly line, then there are risks of delay and outright nondelivery... and F-35's get incorrectly imported materials and arms remain backordered.
I don't really care what YT does. I already know they're going to silence meaningful content if their algorithms determine it to be "sad" or "violent".
Interestingly, there is much content lost, demonetized, and simply not made because they determine factual content to be "sad". There's an amateur reporter and retired commercial pilot in central California who determined he both wouldn't go viral and wouldn't make much money because journalism and facts aren't what YT rewards.
This manipulation and ads like it's a goddamn cable network make it a pointless waste of time.
Incorrect in multiple respects. The molar mass of N is 14.006747 g/mol, while ammonia is 17.03052 g/mol. Gas expands to fill the container, so it's only worth discussing in mass terms.
It's rate of production over the area of the catalyst. Put another way, that's 1.5 ± 0.2 mmol/m²s or 25.5 ± 3.4 mg/m²s.
24 hours of production over a catalyst with an area of 1000 m² would create 25 ± 3.4 t. That's about the product weight of a typical full cold / cool towed trailer tank sent to large-scale customers. A commercial ammonia refinery would need many multiples of this area to be economically viable.
Yellow vests protests and Occupy Wall St. are examples of ineffective movements: lacking identification of root causes of problems, lacking specific demands to redress, lacking leaders, or lacking resolve. XR is also sort-of in this camp.
The unfortunate reality is declarations about existential peril and what we "should" be doing fall on deaf ears of policymakers and regulators where particular governments are de facto run by the billionaires. Most necessary changes cannot happen without first defenestrating corporate lobbyists and the money politicians receive. This won't happen by elections, by reform from within (Sen. John McCain discovered this), or by wishing for it. And honestly, most US politicians should be in prison because they do more than just take stacks of cash and gold bars to fund reelection media buys, many allow their attention and votes to be curried for it, and even propose bills verbatim from the lobbyists of their benefactors.
Change can only happen externally by many, sustained, nonviolent mass demonstrations sufficient to achieve specific policy objectives. ("World peace" and "save the planet" aren't policies, while "phase out all coal power plants in 5 years" is.)
In absence of the people demanding specific actions and changes, the "green revolution" will be half-assed for renewables in electricity (currently at 30% worldwide, may top out at 80-90%), but that's about it. No net negative global emissions and not much carbon sequestration. Ultra-processing and megafarming practices sure as shit won't change by debate or wishful thinking alone.
Commercial, profit-optimizing meat and dairy ag inexorably lead to GMO corn megafarms, CAFOs, and overuse of antibotics bringing the risks of antibiotic resistance, pandemics, climate change, and pollution of air, water, and soil.
What is missing is regulators mandating genuine sustainable practices and taxing and fining where appropriate. The absurd cruelty of CAFOs and using the atmosphere as an open-air sewer for methane and CO₂ must end.
TEL is incredibly bad stuff*, but it's rarely used in commercial flight operations as they predominantly use jet aircraft. Leaded avgas is completely unnecessary as non-TEL fuel formulations have been created and certified. The problem is they're not available anywhere, while leaded avgas is everywhere in GA. Municipalities should do like they did for leaded automotive gasoline: supersede commercial interests with public health regulatory ones and ban it. (The EPA only banned leaded automotive gasoline nationwide in 1996 after allowing 25 years for the phaseout.)
* In the same category of human harm as nerve agents, dioxin, and methylmercury.
The first general purpose non-TEL alternative was only certified last year. Before that, each variant had to be certified per-type, and then would need to be stocked everywhere. Which never was going to happen, and didn't.
Now they're going to ban leaded avgas, which should force the for adoption, since there IS now an approved general purpose alternative.
> Who exactly is this prerogative "freeloader" you throw around so
casually? Is there some service or good denied others involved?
Spammers would be a good example. They freeload on the mail routing
network. Their actions deny service, as bandwidth, storage and wasted
time to millions of ordinary users.
