A textbook font like Motoya Kyotai would be ideal.


> “The Air Force completed a replacement of the aging SACCS floppy drives with a highly secure solid-state digital storage solution in June [2014],” Justin Oakes, a spokesman for the Eighth Air Force, said in an email. “This replacement effort exponentially increased message storage capacity and operator response times for critical nuclear command and control message receipt and processing.”


I can't help but imagine this is just a USB flash drive.


Increased response times …


i wish more people understood that 'exponential' is a rate of change and no value can be said to be 'exponentially' larger or smaller compared to any another value.


I wish more people understood that metaphorical colloquialisms are not intended to be taken literally.


so is it exponential growth or decay he's talking about?


Luckily, he is not an engineer for the fire-nuke-or-nah module.


I mean, I’m sure that he accidentally a whole word, but I do find it entirely possible to increase response times by leaving older systems. There was a certain immediacy to older tech that simply doesn’t exist anymore. I just hope that they didn’t move to a recent version of Windows with forced updates and whatnot, or a recent version of Ubuntu which defaults to unattended updates.


I hope it doesn't boot without internet! (Because I'm probably in a target zone.)


It seems the developer has no plans to support MPEG-4 audio files.



The immediate situation is a problem of money market funds having more inflows than they could allocate (without nominal losses) in a zero interest rate environment. It's not about inflation per se.


> the fed is looking for ways to incentivize financial institutions to take money

Right, the current situation is a money market "plumbing" issue; there are more deposits than banks can handle due to GSIB balance sheet regulations.

Here's some background info: https://fsforum.com/news/fixing-whats-broken-the-gsib-surcha...


Sherritt International's operations in Cuba are well-known, and their cobalt products are not sold in the United States.


No, it is sold to China, and then the trace naturally vanishes.

Then a Chinese broker comes to an EV battery materials co., and says we have a conflict cobalt for you from Congo, and a conflict free one from "somewhere else."


But you won't find 儿 in Japanese character dictionaries. It will come up if you type ひとあし in an IME, but most people wouldn't know that.


The word is spelled incorrectly.


Ah, seems it would have been more helpful if they explicitly said that.


I saw Dialpad


He wrote "second hand, refurbished" so it's not entirely clear that it was Apple refurbished.


I made the assumption that he meant refurbished by a third-party, not Apple, because it's pretty common for those sorts of secondhand machines to be refurbished with new screens. Figure they put in the cheapest screen they could source, and no wonder it's dying in 5 years. I doubt any OE screen from Apple would have the same problem he describes.
