Allegedly unrelated to the apple card, your appleid just gets locked if you don't fulfill a trade-in.

What the fuck is happening? How is some "what the spanish inquisition taught me about SAAS sales" linkedin spam getting near the top of the HN feed?

Also the author's knowledge of roman history seems to be to the level of a summary of an inaccurate youtube video.

This is a link aggregator for founders of tech startups funded by venture capital - never forget it.

And they are mischaracterizing the concept of "normalization of deviance".

All the heavy metals were below 1ppm, are any of the levels concerning?

In case there's some natural accumulation process, the concentration can reach any levels, so absolute quantity might (or might not) matter as well.

I found it a bit concerning that this doesnt talk about safe dosages of any of the heavy metals.

Many of the levels are well above the levels required for drinking water.

That isn't much to go on, however.

Also, real ppm for this kind of thing is supposed to be by weight, so that would ideally be pounds per million-pounds.

IOW if they dumped a million pounds all over the place, and there was 1 ppm of trace lead content, then there was one full pound of unwanted lead scattered across the same acreage as the 900,000+ pounds of active ingredient.

However, ppm for environmental laboratories conventionally means milligrams per liter since that's a close equivalent to weight ppm, but realistically only for water samples. So for test material having a density different than water, some correction is needed which can often be neglected, but the real number is usually within the same order of magnitude.

If there were 280 drops of the DC-10 mentioned in the article, that is a maximum of 280 * 45000 = 12.6M litres of this, spread of 20 square miles.

That is 7.5 kg (16 lbs) of lead.

But what does that tell you? Is that a lot? The EPA warns against soil that is > 400ppm lead, which is a limit almost 1000 times higher than found in this.

Looks like you've added some realistic data.

The more the better.

>But what does that tell you?

It's a lot of raw data, but mainly reveals it's all estimation "all the way down".

Definitely pounds to kilos of heavy metals were dispensed widely which were not there before.

Probably a lot more kilos than people think when you consider all the kinds of heavy metal that's popular today, not only Led ;)

And that's just the initial application.

Contamination migration will be a much less accurately determined phenomenon, while being potentially much more toxic in those areas of concentration, and less so in areas benefitting from dilution.

I've been seeing more AI slop being posted on reddit even on smaller subreddits. Whatever people are using to do it likes to somewhat randomly bold certain words to emphasize them so it stands out a bit once you notice it.

What are you smoking? 20% is a perfectly healthy bodyfat number and (for a man) anything down to 15% or so is fine. Sub 10% is when you pretty much need a crazy bodybuilder lifestyle to maintain it. And on the other side, 25% is around the lien where you start facing some minor health risks from excess body fat.

I almost always wait 20 minutes or more for a checked bag, and I've had to wait well over 45 minutes a few times.

I think the garbage CAs that want to delay certificate revocation way beyond requirements are numerous enough that this proposal won't go ahead. Much easier for them to just do nothing and hope they won't be the next Entrust.

Is this an actual leak or another case of an export-controlled document that's already circulating around the internet getting posted on their forums? Most of the war thunder "classified leaks" have just been that.

There's a huge amount of info available about the CAPTOR radar, its E-CAPTOR successor, and the common European radar successor. There are Wikipedia articles, promotional videos, marketing materials, and so forth.

This video[1] gives enough info that a game dev could make up a basic simulator for a game. But that's just the basic mode. The thing has an large number of modes. Apparently it mostly manages them by itself, which is the clever part. It can act as a search radar, a targeting radar, a jammer, an RF weapon, a ground target mode, and even a bistatic mode, where one plane sends and another receives, so the attacker can get in close while not emitting.

Now that's a really hard user interface problem.

>> and even a bistatic mode, where one plane sends and another receives, so the attacker can get in close while not emitting.

That is one concept. The tactics of bistatic radar are far more complex, with many possible modes for many different situations and advantages.

And in order to prove a point, one of you will post the link to the full schematics and manuals. This is exactly what the article describes.

> Now that's a really hard user interface problem

I'm not sure whether or not you meant this, but it would be a hard (/interesting) user interface problem in the planes themselves, never mind the game. Especially the bistatic mode.

I was definitely overweight (by waist and BF%) at 5'11" and 180lbs, and going by the stats I've seen that seems more common than your case of BMI overestimating BF%.

We sourced a basic GPS module for a student project in the late 2000s, it had an antenna the size of a charcoal briquette, drew a bunch of power, wasn't all that cheap, and took a while to lock on to satellites. I can only imagine how crappy and expensive an accelerometer would have been at that time.

The smartphone revolution was a gamechanger for the price and availability of GPS receivers as well as accelerometer/gyro systems.
