Double negatives affirming one another instead of negating is a common thing in language, known as “emphatic negation” or “negative concord”. Middle English used emphatic negation and various English dialects still use it to this day including African-American English. They’re saying exactly what they mean, just not in Standard English. Just like they’re probably not pronouncing the words the same way. No reason to get annoyed.

That’s no less true than games written in C, or otherwise with few dependencies. Doom is way more portable than RCT precisely because it’s written in C instead of assembly.

Not sure what you’re expecting that fuse to do when the battery is on fire from crash damage?

if youre boiling water, it can be any arbitrary temperature above 100.

That’s not how boiling works. The water heats up to its boiling point where it stops and boils. While boiling the temperature does not increase, it stays exactly at the boiling point. This is called “Latent Heat”, at its boiling point water will absorb heat without increasing in temperature until it has absorbed enough for its phase to change.

There is an exception to this called superheating

100F is a fever; if you’re experiencing those regularly you should go see a doctor.

Distributed ledger data is typically spread across multiple nodes (computational devices) on a P2P network, where each replicates and saves an identical copy of the ledger data and updates itself independently of other nodes. The primary advantage of this distributed processing pattern is the lack of a central authority, which would constitute a single point of failure. When a ledger update transaction is broadcast to the P2P network, each distributed node processes a new update transaction independently, and then collectively all working nodes use a consensus algorithm to determine the correct copy of the updated ledger. Once a consensus has been determined, all the other nodes update themselves with the latest, correct copy of the updated ledger.

From your first link. This does not describe how git functions. Did you actually read the page?

The consensus problem requires agreement among a number of processes (or agents) for a single data value. Some of the processes (agents) may fail or be unreliable in other ways, so consensus protocols must be fault tolerant or resilient. The processes must somehow put forth their candidate values, communicate with one another, and agree on a single consensus value.

From your second this. Again this description does not match with git.

You’re right in that automation is not technically required; you can build a blockchain using git by having people perform the distribution and consensus algorithms themselves. Obviously that doesn’t make git itself a blockchain in the same way it doesn’t make IP a blockchain.

Key word distributed ledger. Git repositories don’t talk to each other except when told to do so by users.

I shouldn’t need to explain why an access key is not a consensus algorithm. Seriously?

Well, I’m saying Circulor is most likely lying about their “blockchain” actually being a blockchain, or that they’ve pointlessly set up extra nodes to perform redundant work in order to avoid technically lying.

Blockchain is completely pointless without 3rd parties being part of the network. It’s like me saying I run a personal social network for just myself.

Git is not a blockchain. There is no distributed ledger; no consensus algorithm.

Polestar uses contracts and audits to ethically source materials, not blockchain. It uses blockchain as a shitty append-only SQL database to (apparently) tell you where the materials came from. Let me quote from Circulor’s website:

data can be fed seamlessly to the blockchain via system integration using RESTful Web Service APIs with security and authentication protocols

So the chain is private and accessible only through a centralized, authenticated REST API. This is a traditional web application. A centralized append-only ledger is not even a blockchain.

Pouring water on lithium-ion battery fires is not only safe it’s the primary means of fighting them. It does not make them explode a second time, what it does do is cool down the battery.

Lithium battery fires though, there you’ll want a class D extinguisher. Those batteries aren’t in EVs though.

There’s a decent chance that’s still the salt lamp.

It’s an apples to oranges comparison. FPS bots are not playing the same game: they have perfect information in an imperfect information game.

TLDs are valid in emails, as are IP V6 addresses, so checking for a . is technically not correct. For example a@b and a@[IPv6:2001:db8::1] are both valid email addresses.

The only one I’ve seen is the VW “e-up!”.

There’s vulnerabilities like the recent iMessage exploit that are executed remotely through no interaction by the user. In combination with the ability to self-spread you get mass exploits like WannaCry which spread to 300k+ computers in 7 hours. All you need is a network connection.

Mesa isn’t a kernel driver. AMDGPU is the name of the kernel module and it’s primarily developed by AMD. Mesa provides OpenGL, Vulkan, etc. implementations and is funded by AMD, Intel and Valve (among others). There’s also AMDGPU-PRO which is a proprietary alternative to Mesa from AMD.

Deer had “produced documentary evidence that Wakefield applied for a patent on a single-jab measles vaccine before his campaign against the MMR vaccine, raising questions about his motives”.

He both wanted to sell test kits and have his own vaccine.
