They’re not using the double jeopardy clause in the US constitution, because, as you stated, the case law on that doesn’t protect him from dual state and federal prosecution.

Instead, Mr. Mangione is moving to dismiss the state case on the basis of New York’s separate double jeopardy law. That law binds the state of New York, and prevents them from prosecuting something that has already been jeopardised at the federal level.

No. But they do occasionally advertise their TV and movie rental services as videos in the feeds.

Windows, on the other hand, is a hybrid kernel, which means some functions are managed in user space so that a program has more control over the hardware.

Windows and Linux are both monolithic kernels, in the sense that most device drivers run in kernel mode with kernel privilege. They’re not like Mach or Hurd.

Windows outsourced their device driver development early on to the hardware manufacturers, and they encouraged closed-source drivers with separate source trees and builds. To facilitate this, Windows NT developed a system called plug-n-play (PnP) which searches for and loads driver modules (.sys files) from disk into the kernel.

Linux developed a similar system of loadable kernel modules (.ko files), but their system arrived much later. One reason is that Linux’s GPLv2 license mandates that driver source code be licensed under compatible terms. That and Linux has always been pretty open about accepting driver code into their main source tree. Finally, manufacturers were never interested early on in writing Linux drivers, so the driver development was being done by the community, which was already using the Linux source tree.

So Linux didn’t have as much pressure to develop a loadable module system. So they did it later.

To the present day, the majority of Linux device drivers are submitted to mainline Linux and go through the Linux review process. Windows drivers are mainly developed by third parties, but they do have to go through the Windows Hardware Quality Labs review and testing process.

Apple writes all their MacOS drivers internally, because they are also the hardware OEM.

At least MSVC has a number for every diagnostic that you can search.

In case some may not be aware, it seems this is about FMLA leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act in the United States guarantees a certain amount of time on unpaid leave for certain family and medical situations. The only protection you get from the law is your employer has to offer you your job back if your leave complies with the act.

Otherwise, there is no federally guaranteed paid leave (*) of any type. And it’s usually entirely legal to fire people because they carry high (or more commonly low) PTO balances. (California might be a little different on this).

(*) The only other form a federally guaranteed leave I know about is if you are a military reservist or national guard called up to active duty, your employer must allow you to return to your job after completing active duty.

It’s not a retreat; it’s a strategic retrograde advance!

If you read the chart on that Wikipedia article carefully, the estimated temperature profile is based on data from two Apollo missions.

All of the Apollo missions spent all of their surface time during the lunar morning, relatively early into the 14-day lunar day. They did this partially because the cooling systems couldn’t cope with the full heat of the day, and partially to ensure good backlighting during the landings.

So there is going to be some “diurnal” surface heating and cooling that is probably modeled but not measured.

Your car radiator is actually using convection to convect heat into the air.

The spacecraft radiators use radiation to dump heat by emitting infrared photons. Photons do not require a medium. This type of radiator works by maximizing the area of hot surface exposed to empty space (which has an effective temperature of 3 K). They have to be pointed into a dark area and away from the sun. There’s no advantage to fins, because you want to maximize area perpendicular to the dark sky.

Both devices are called radiators, but they are different kinds of devices.

Solar sail effect is going to be dwarfed by regular atmospheric drag in low earth orbit. At perfect right angles the radiation pressure on the panels is 4.5 micro-Pascals. Meanwhile, in low orbit there’s enough residual atmosphere to generate a dynamic pressure (for drag) of 5 milli-Pascals, give or take (and strongly depending on the space weather).

So atmospheric drag is around 1000 times more than photon pressure. And the drag is big enough to be noticeable over weeks and months, requiring regular boosts to stay in orbit.

You could put em on the moon with a heatpump into the ground.

The interior of the moon is not super cold. You could still run a heat pump, but I don’t know what the conductivity is like.

This ruling confirms that there is no other legal path to obtain that data which isn’t a warrant.

The supreme court ruling doesn’t go this far.

The ruling says that a search occurred when LEOs obtained the geofenced location data from a service provider. The case was sent back down to the circuit court to determine whether or not a warrant was required.

There are various exceptions that allow the government to conduct warrantless searches under the 4th amendment. For example:

• the “frisk” in a Terry stop to search for weapons.
• search with consent
• search incident to arrest
• hot pursuit and exigent circumstance allow police to follow suspects into a place, but not usually to then go looking for stuff.
• searches within the (generous) border zone for border enforcement
• searches at airport security and similar contexts
• public roadway DUI checkpoints and other road safety checkpoints that stop all drivers.

It’s not obvious that any of those apply to this case, but maybe they do. The circuit court will decide.

I’ve been told a fun thing to do in Rome is to walk up to one of the tourist trap restaurants that has a tout at the door. Those guys know like 5 or 6 different languages, and they try to lure unsuspecting tourists to sit down at their restaurant. Anyhow, the play is to walk up to one of these touts and to start speaking Classical Latin at them. Latin is close enough to several Romance languages they do know that it seems familiar, but it’s not quite intelligible. And it’s really confusing to them to figure out which one you are speaking.

Of course it helps if you’re conversational in Latin.

It’s pretty common for natural gas electric plants to use Brayton cycle turbines, which is the same thermodynamic cycle that the turbojet engines on airplanes use. But you can optimize the designs on the ground for efficiency (and zero thrust) instead of thrust-to-weight.

It’s also common to use “combined cycle” technology which mashes the Brayton cycle engine together with an older-style steam loop for extra efficiency.

After reading the article, I think they’re just saying they installed some miniaturized natural gas plants. I don’t think they’re literally running aircraft engines on the ground.

There was at least one “AI” company that was caught passing off the cheap overseas labor as AI.

Low approach. Delivery truck was on the public highway. Not a runway incursion. Pilot’s about to lose their job.

And they can kick NASA out of the Madrid station on the Deep Space Network.

The logic is real “dumb” or simple. The company that paid the tariff gets the refund.

Tariffs are paid at the port of entry and before you are allowed to physically get the goods out of the port. So the payer is not always the manufacturer. Sometimes it’s an importer or middleman. Sometimes a retailer. It could be you if you shipped in a package from overseas.

It’s a key component to any well-integrated home air defense system.

Allegedly, Outlook doesn’t handle intermittent broken connectivity very well when you’re trying to configure it initially. Such as when your gateway is handing off between TDRS and the fricken Deep Space Network.

Or even just 9 months ago, when he told the leader of Germany that D-Day “was not a pleasant day for you.”
