I mean, I don't like to read it but I think you're right. The Democrats need to align with progressives to win. Biden is set to lose this election, as much as I hate Trump.

Your experience may vary but I'm a network engineer who learned Python and I think learning regex and pandas is invaluable. Depends on what you want to build though. As far as learning resources, I've always liked w3schools, it's free and to the point.

For books, python 101 by Michael Driscoll is very good. I wouldn't spend money on courses. They can be pretty demotivating and expensive.

Yeah you're obviously beyond reason and we're speaking across different levels of intellect here. Bringing up NOCs shows you're entry level, despite how many years of experience you have. Find my phone is a network because the phone which has cellular capabilities reports that to Apple/Google.

It wasn't my intention to start a dick measuring contest here but since it's on the table, im a six figure(deep into six figures) engineer at a fortune 10 company. Your 25+ years of CompTIA A+ experience mean nothing to me. You're talking to a CCIE.

No one with any amount of intellect would call something communicating at layer two a "network", though anything that transfers data between two devices can technically be called a network, "networking" is being able to communicate with OTHER networks.

Brother, I'm a 10+ year network engineer... Bluetooth is a low power, low speed, short range(30 feet) technology. The power of Bluetooth signals are over 1000x weaker than what cellphones use to connect to cell towers. There isn't going to be any sophisticated "networking" happening between airtags. Your original post was almost gibberish, I had to struggle to arrive at the point you're trying to make. You can call it a network if you want but you're asking if it could be practical as a standalone, autonomous network and the answer is no. They lack the capability to communicate over any meaningful distance. Not much "networking" capability if it can't talk to other networks. Others have struggled to talk sense into you so I won't waste anymore of my time. Though I'd suggest that if you're going to argue against logic then you should be more open to reason.

I think you need to take the thought of "network" completely out of your mind. This protocol is specifically regarding devices such as air tags, which don't have any network capability themselves but rely on "connecting" to Bluetooth of the manufacturers models. The phones themselves are what gives tracking information back, based on GPS of the phone that was in proximity of the tracker.

The question that Google/Apple have is, how can we make sure people aren't unknowingly being tracked by someone putting a physical tracker in say, your car. THAT'S the "protocol" part. A protocol is just an agreement on how a technology is going to be implemented. If your own tracker is following you that's fine, the MAC address will keep changing. If someone else's air tag is following you, your phone will know this tracker has been near you for some time, and will tell you.

There's no empirical evidence that MJ sexually abused any children. He was also acquitted. Why does this rumor persist? Because some guy who has changed his story multiple times decided after MJ died that he was abused, despite previous evidence that he wasn't abused and that his parents tried to blackmail MJ?

I mean it's a little quip so you probably didn't think much of it. But he suffered enough while alive, is it really necessary to continue to assassinate his character despite him being dead and acquitted?

This, and it's a way to make sure urban economies with investments stay stimulated.... If the companies said "okay, just do your job, IDC" then a lot of people would move to rural areas. Also, corporate office leases are usually long, like 15 years. If the companies stop paying their leases, the entire flimsy financial system would crumble, since modern economics/property prices are more about potential/theoretical value rather than real value. You need a big fancy building in a fancy city to attract top talent, high earners, so it keeps the class system intact as well.

Yes but the comment i replied to is insinuating that EFT active players are up despite the community backlash

Source? There's no publicly available info on player counts other than BSGs word, so I'm calling BS

EoD is edge of darkness. It's basically the most expensive version of the game which was originally offered and was supposed to include all subsequent dlc, hence the outrage(ridiculous pay to win features and price aside). SPT is a modded version of EFT(escape from tarkov) that let you play the game single player and added a bunch of cool stuff. BSG(Battlestate games, the publisher/dev studio) didn't like that so they would copyright videos that used SPT. It's a whole mess

I wonder what that means for left handed autists.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-asymmetric-brain/202212/left-handedness-and-neurodiversity-a-surprising-link

"The researchers found that individuals on the autism spectrum were 2.49 times more likely to be left-handed than people without autism. Altogether, about 28 percent of individuals on the autism spectrum were left-handed as compared to about 10 percent in the general population."

LOL, those are reserved for important people when they come in. They're not for the people that work in the building.

Last place I worked had a ping pong table that never got used by the people that worked there, as well as an Xbox I never saw on
