Alguém por acaso me sabe explicar a razão porque em Portugal nos últimos dez a 15 anos os prédios novos de apartamentos em urbanizações de luxo têm quase todos varandas com parapeitos de vidro?
Será pelo facto do vidro ser mais barato?
Não existe o perigo daquilo começar a rebentar/partir por tudo quanto é lado quando faz muito calor ou muito vento?
Até que ponto é que uma varanda com um parapeito de vidro é segura tanto para as pessoas nas suas casas como para as pessoas que vão a andar na rua?
Porquê o vidro e não o cimento?
Pessoalmente, não me parece fazer qualquer sentido - mais parecendo uma abominação urbanística do que outra coisa. A única explicação plausível é se o vidro é capaz de reter alguma energia solar...

Cyanotype - Ethel Stevens & Ruth Patterson of Grays Ferry (American 1900s-1910s)
This is one of a series of cyanotype photos taken by a female photographer in the first quarter of the 20th century in and around Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the seller did not have the photographer's name.

I was eager to try the new batch of tempeh (desi chickpea and organic sprouted rye), and so I made a stew with what I had on hand, and it turned out well. Post includes a compare-and-contrast between mirin and what is sold as mirin.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from purple at the top to pink at the bottom. The text is predominantly white, with some words in a cursive script. The main message reads: "IT'S OK TO BE WRONG ABOUT THINGS. You can have a change of opinion or beliefs after hearing more information and facts. That's not a personal failure. It's personal growth." The text is arranged in a vertical layout, with the largest text at the top and bottom, and smaller text in the middle. The message is clear and motivational, encouraging the idea that changing one's mind is a sign of personal growth rather than failure.

How I became an antisemite

Once you get out of the SLC cache these don't get anything like 8GB/s. I'd expect somewhere between 0.5GB-2GB/s then but haven't tested that particular model. And you'd need a huge heatsink on the drive to stop it going into thermal derate or shutdown first.
Even at 8GB/s a "I installed this Windows Update and then SSD dead" would be a strange report unless the user let it spin for 20 hours 😛

I think far too many people are being critical of @defcon for doing events outside of the US. The reality is, DEF CON is impossible to access for far too many people outside of the US because of US visa restrictions. This has always been a problem, but it has become a much bigger one lately.
For starters, the US has one of the world's most expensive visas. It now costs $424 per person (since the addition of the new "Visa Integrity Fee"). Additionally, the US requires in-person interviews to issue a visa, and these take place at a US embassy or consulate. Unless you live in your country's capital, you'll have travel expenses on top of it.
Then, of course, there are the delays for interviews. These can take months or even years. It was starting to get better, but the federal government laid off a large number of people who process visas, immediately resulting in extended delays. If you want to speak at DEF CON, and you're a foreigner, it's highly questionable whether you'll get a visa in time.
Finally, there is "extreme vetting" which is taking even more time. Suppose you're selected for "additional visa processing." What triggers this? The criteria are a secret, but there is a strong correlation with things like being a known hacker traveling to DEF CON.
Finally, the US is denying visas for what they perceive as political speech (or expected political speech) that opposes the Party. This isn't unique in the world; other authoritarian countries like China also do this, which made it difficult for DEF CON to operate there.
DEF CON isn't unique in facing these challenges. The United States is closing the door to foreigners, limiting international collaboration, and limiting political speech. The only question is how to respond. Hosting DEF CON events in other locales, which guarantee research freedom and welcome international collaboration, is an entirely reasonable response.
I am an American, and I will warn you -- Do not come here!
We've locking up people who have Visas, who paid the fee, who passed the interview, who have never once wished us harm, or spoke out against any political party.
None of that matters.
You can be locked be for just being brown. Or can be white, and still be locked up, because the person checking visas is in a bad mood. Or, in the case of a recent Canadian, didn't respond well when someone was trying to flirt with her.
And once locked up, you can pretty much vanish in the system for days, weeks, or even months without a phone call.
Do not come here.
This is not the United States you know, or thought you knew. We're a nation gone insane, and it is not safe to come here.
Some of us would love to leave here, and we would if we could.
