I have seen this way to often in other areas. That is the push here as well AI can sort through it. Too many people are held to account for not meeting what amounts to made up numbers.


?? Since day1?


Day 1505 by my count. Say, does anyone know Javascript's birthday?


There was a pretty long gap between JS being created and people making significant use of it.


I do this frequently. To prevent vendor lock in and allow us to easily pivot if pricing gets out line. We pay to support the project and get technical support when needed. Considering how little we use technical support. It should be a good deal for the company.


Why? I don't understand why they would be bad? Some people can't naturally have children. It is a risk to a woman to be pregnant.


I generally like having these systems in place, because I find when dealing with certain vendors and businesses that following these helps me weed out many scammers when dealing with large amounts of money. Every transfer required a discussion with the teller asking questions about transfers and if the transaction is suspicious. Yes, criminals will find a way, but I find it provides me an easier screening to ensure some businesses are more likely legit.


I don't do video because I don't work with it, but I do image compression for fun and no profit. I do use some video techniques due to the type of images I am compressing. I don't release because of the minefield. I do it because it's fun. The simulation runs and other tasks often I kick to the cloud for the larger compute needs.


For some people it isn't 'just politics'. They feel threatened by potential loss of freedom and life. If it was just a disagreement on tax rates or some government spending it would be different. His views are against someone else's existence.


I do not understand the claim the Fed is not a government agency?


> Although an instrument of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve System considers itself "an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the president or by anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by Congress, and the terms of the members of the board of governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms.

They're an IA.

The for-profit ones (Amtrak, USPS, etc.) are called SOEs.

The loan-related ones (Freddie Mae) are called GSEs.


IA - Independent Agency


Thank you. While abbreviations are handy for those in the know, it's so helpful for general readers if one takes a moment to spell things out.


Respectfully, there's a Wikipedia link.


Absolutely. And thank you for that.

Although an instrument of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve System considers itself "an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the president or by anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by Congress, and the terms of the members of the board of governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms."[11]


The Federal Reserve is an independent bank. An important detail the current US administration does not like.


It's "independent" of the Government in the way that Congress could just legislate them to not be independent anymore tomorrow if they felt like it...


SOAP is used far more than most people realize. I deal extensively in "cutting edge" industries that rely heavily on SOAP or SOAP based protocols. Supply chain systems and manufacturing.


But in scenarios where the person generating the XML is untrusted?

I'm aware of plenty of usage of SOAP, but only between companies that have contractual relationships with each other and who could easily sue each other if one of them tried to exploit a security bug.

That greatly mitigates the risk of a security bug being exploited, especially something like a DOS attack that is easily noticed.


I agree with your understanding of physics, but when you put human decision making in the loop you have to account for that in any solution. For some "eating less and moving more" can have other consequences. O was always taught good engineering requires an understanding of human behavior. I would prefer to eat less and move more.
