Without a very expensive HDMI protocol analyzer, we can’t check if the source is tagging the content as type 0 or type 1, but there is no reason now to think that it’s not type 1.
There's no magic in the HDMI protocol that says type 1 vs type 0. Its just another HDCP message over DDC, but it is only sent to repeaters. In this case, since the HDCP Repeater is lying about not being a repeater, it isn't getting sent the StreamID Type information.
Kalamazoo is the result of consolidation. The graph incorrectly just lists them as "Kalamazoo Tower", but its also a TRACON facility.
They're handling multiple airports remotely. In 2016, this was planned to be Grand Rapids, Lansing, Muskegon, Flint, and Saginaw, though I'm not sure all of them were consolidated.
I believe just Flint, Saginaw, Lansing and Kalamazoo were consolidated when I last looked in 2022. For people who are unaware, Kalamazoo has one of the most substantial aviation programs in the country in town at WMU so centralizing there with a large staff is a great opportunity to cross train.
Because none of that is the purpose of cryptocurrency. It for tax evasion by the rich, and for the cryptocurrency to seize when its used for crimes or when its defrauded out of someone else. And for riding a seemingly permanently rising currency to riches.
In any case, it boils down to "I can make money off cryptocurrency". It doesn't "help" people. If someone says that, they just want to evangelize it because they think that's the key to 'crypto go up'.
Isn't cryptocurrency pretty much the worst way to avoid taxes?
The entire ledger is public. The IRS is going to know that several millions/billions was sent to an address and can just press the exchange to reveal who it is akin to gambling winnings.
I was there, at the dawn. I remember spigots giving out whole-ass bitcoins.
The "we're going to change the world" folks either became, or were pushed out by the, Gordon Gekko cosplayers approximately 227 milliseconds after the bitcoin whitepaper was published.
As far as I can tell, a larger value in goods and services, real non-crypto-related tangible things and actions, are purchased in Chuck-e-cheese tokens than crypto.
Crypto is tulip bulbs for the IT Crowd. It's hyper-tax-evading-money-laundering on steroids. It is everything about "duh banksters" the liars promoting crypto claimed to be against times ten trillion.
Crypto is like some very smart people took every negative aspect of the socio-economic system we find ourselves trapped within and amplified them because they realized the grift to be had, then they wrapped it all in a thin veneer of freedom and rebellion.
legal evasion is definitely a big part of it, but when your government is corrupt and mismanaged and makes it illegal to hold other currencies while devaluing the money you do hold, maybe a little law breaking is justified

There are tons of common words in English that use non English characters. No one argues those words need to be changed so I'm not sure why so many people here are so gungho about it.
> Its strange how much power we give employers over employees, and how regular people defend this, even when its actively working against them.
"Because, one day, I will be a rich person, and I will be able to be cruel to the little people. I don't want to prevent me being able to abuse people if I'm in that position!"
Also, "I am fundamentally smarter/better/more diligent than my fellow employees. My employer might recognize that with more compensation, but my fellow employees will not. They will drag me down and promote the unworthy."
Pitting employees against each other is a classic.
If you bought a Tesla, you have no right to a court of law involving Tesla. It will go to arbitration, where the case will be secret, but Tesla will know the arguments and results of of all attempts against it, but not you. It will go to arbitration, where the arbiter may be blacklisted from future cases if it rules against Tesla. It will go to arbitration, where the arbiter's ruling is final and the law does not apply. Capricious? Does not matter.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is superseded and voided by the American Arbitration Act. You, as a citizen owner of a Tesla, are barred from using that law against Tesla.
The Sherman Act is superseded and voided by the American Arbitration Act. You, as a citizen owner of a Tesla, are barred from using that law against Tesla.
No court of law will ever be permitted to apply those laws against Telsa by a Tesla owner.
This case was already dismissed once in Sept of last year when the motion to compel arbitration was granted. They're trying again with some sort of attempted resurrection, but its just a waste of money, because Tesla owners are barred from courts of law. They will go to a privatized pseudo-court where they will lose and where they can't do class action unless Telsa wants it.
> The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is superseded and voided by the American Arbitration Act.
Poking around, I found this [0] from 2015 that suggests the opposite, unless a certain malign President caused the FTC to switch policies.
> the FTC has taken the position since 1975 that binding arbitration provisions are prohibited in warranties. [...] The FTC specifically rejected the argument that an arbitration proceeding is not an [informal dispute settlement mechanism] because it is binding and therefore outside the [Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act], which permits warrantors to establish [informal dispute settlement mechanism]s for breach of warranty claims and require consumers to use such [informal dispute settlement mechanism]s before bringing a civil suit.
Courts have ruled in the past that arbitration clauses were illegal or unenforceable for various reasons so it not that cut and dry .
Contract law is not simple, just because I signed the contract doesn’t mean it is enforcement is guaranteed.
While I agree with the estimation that this is loosing and courts would either rule that is not a monopoly or enforce the arbitration clause and kick the case out , it is not a given .
Every case is unique, a lot depends on the judge or jury and background of the specific case.
Also filing suit doesn’t mean that trial is always the goal. It could be just a strategic move in the process between plantiffs and defense .
Sometimes companies would settle not because it will loose, but because it is cheaper to settle. Sometimes they don’t want discovery process opening up internal documents that could be damaging. Fox forked over 780M because of this (and also plaintiffs had a slam dunk case ).
This is not necessarily true in matters involving injunctive relief, depending on the wording of the contract, whether arbitration itself may be arbitrated, and whether the judge considers arbitration appropriate for the relief prayed for.
You can even read Hall Street Associates, L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc, where even when the agreement said the courts could review. Where, no, courts of law may not review an arbiter's decision if you both agree it would be able to after arbitration.
You can read Mitsubishi Motors Corp. v. Soler Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., where SCOTUS explicitly declared the American Arbitration Act overrides the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
You can read Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant, where you find out you have no substantive rights where the AAA is involved.
There's still weak attempts to save it, but the The National Labor Relations Act is also likely superseded by the American Arbitration Act, basically voiding the NLRA from being ever applicable.
Courts of law are barred where arbitration is inserted, anywhere, whether you know it or not. You lose basic rights where arbitration is concerned.
> There were limitations to this study. A small number of studies were assessed, only five were chosen for mortality analysis with a total sample size of 1,474 patients, and two were chosen for symptomology with a sample size of 391 patients. The design of the studies chosen limits the conclusions made in this study regarding mortality as three of the studies are retrospective studies and only two are randomized control trials for mortality. Both papers that assessed symptomology were randomized control trials. Between studies, zinc formulations were different, and in some cases, zinc was given in combination with other drugs.
3 of those studies were retrospectives, 2 were randomized studies. One of those randomized studies was halted for "futility" at zinc treatment.
There have been more studies since when this came out, which signals the probable importance of zinc in COVID prevalence. Plus they were only looking at mortality so there will always be fewer papers. Does this leave you less suspicious?
Rediscovered the GitHub version of the problem recently when setting up some new IPv6-only VMs. They couldn't pull any code from our GitHub repos, making those VMs entirely useless.
I don't agree with this section:
