Can't be air canada and repressed trauma prevents me from acknowledging WestJet's existence, so I'm going to guess the good one is Harbour Air. They run the cute little seaplanes you see around Vancouver and Victoria. I hear that boarding one when the system clock is set to 3am unlocks a special area where you can catch spirit bears.

Any cryptography you're likely to encounter uses fixed size primes over a residue ring for performance reasons. These superlarge primes aren't relevant for practical cryptography, they're just fun.

It's mixed at best, there's no universal consensus for either one in academic circles, especially once you get to international audiences. Of course there's no universal preference among indigenous people either, so the best bet is not to talk about indigenous peoples as if they're a monolith and instead use narrower terms for just the groups you're discussing.

A highly compressed, global base map at 1m resolution is somewhere on the order of 10TB. MSFS is probably using higher resolution commercial imagery, and that's just the basemap textures, most of which you'll never see.

MSFS implements optimizations on top of that (progressive detail, compression, etc), but that's how almost all map systems work under the hood. It's actually an efficient way to represent real environments where you don't have the luxury of procedural generation.

Crossover is the commercial version of the code behind proton, developed by the same company. It doesn't work as well on Mac as on Linux. Since "Like Linux but worse" is exactly the point you're responding to, so you're pretty much in agreement with them?

Cleanroom RE is how you prove that's what you did to a court. The point is to avoid into a courtroom with Nintendo at all, making the point moot.

The thing is, steam's market dominance is one of user choice rather than anticompetitive strategies or lack of alternatives. Steam doesn't do exclusives, they don't charge you for external sales, they don't even prevent you from selling steam keys outside the platform, or users from launching non steam games in the client. The only real restriction is that access to steam services requires a license in the active steam account. Even valve-produced devices like the steam deck can install from other stores.

Sure, dominance is bad in an abstract theoretical way and it'd be nice if Gog, itch.io, etc were more competitive, but Steam is dominant because consumers actively choose it.

Glaciers actually do retreat and advance seasonally or on even longer cycles. Some have terminuses that move back and forth literal miles. One of the key indicators of climate change is the fact that globally, glaciers are retreating more than they're advancing on average.

Not bad, but you're missing that the Bluetooth device can report audio latency back to the source so it can delay anything that needs to synchronize. In practice there's half a dozen more buffers in between and a serious tradeoff between latency, noise sensitivity, and bandwidth.

Extradition treaties are almost always reciprocal and this particular treaty is publicly available. No public treaty is going to include a promise not to coup another government because of the obvious political consequences of admitting you might to everyone else.

You have to search using language that papers might actually use though. "Parachute effectiveness" means what the satirical paper is exploring, whether it prevents death or not. The only serious studies that might have used that language would be old WW2 studies that threw people out of planes with different parachutes to see how many survived.

If you want to know how to design an effective parachute, you should be looking at reference books like Parachute Recovery Systems instead.
