It's an analogy to "peak oil", meaning the time at which something is at its highest level to-date, but will only reduce from here.

I suspect it's probably not quite taking that meaning here, cos 18 year olds as a demographic peaked a long time ago, but with the context of the article, I suspect they're mainly talking about 18 year olds choosing to go into higher education

Pages in different languages have no connection to one another outside the subject being linked. Each language's page is written and moderated by speakers of that language who can choose to write whatever they like.

Wikipedia is apparently banned in China, so on that basis, I'd probably be a bit dubious about content regarding life there where I couldn't verify the sources

Don't have to screw anything up. I have a machine that has a weird stability issue that I haven't tracked down - it seems to take out the PCIe bus, so the errors don't get logged to disk or network - without my KVM I'd have to leave a monitor connected just for this edge case and be home to check on it

I'm sorry, but WTF is

We did not want to contact FlyCASS first as it appeared to be operated only by one person and we did not want to alarm them.

They are the company, running the thing. You are going to alarm them a whole lot more by going to the damn DHS. Like, I think DHS and TSA probably do need to know about this, but why not start with the actual intimately responsible party?

But yeah, this dissuasion was a feature if the previous law change IMO, and this is an incredibly blatant response. I can't imagine they'll be taking proper bonds for reinstatement after, either

I would caution that there's a fair gap between "don't need expansion joints" and "don't have heat restrictions". A few days a year of heat restrictions could be considered a reasonable engineering trade-off, if it manages costs

You may find you mean deprecating.

Depreciating is reducing in value due to time, deprecating is disapproving of (or in software, marking as obsolete)

Disagree.

They can't do it through software, but a wireless charger is inducing a current in a coil. NFC chips often use a coil antennal, and inducing a current in that could well trip a protective device, like a resettable fuse. It could be limited to these devices because of a particular resonance or harmonic they share

Surely that's damage-per-axle? So it'd be two 1.5-ton cars to match the trucks 4 axles

Blow that dog whistle a bit harder, Winnie!

Mines running postfix, spamassassin and dovecot and runs pretty happily in 1GB, but when I was running in 512MB Spamassassin would get killed fairly regularly when it ran out of RAM

Cara Delevingne was listed in the credits - does anyone know who she voiced?
