Routing tables would be fairly hard to figure out how to handle effectively, especially if each device in the mesh network could move around ( like if we were using a cell phone as a node in the network ). The routes would have to update extremely fast with extreme variability in each nodes transfer speeds, latency, reliability, etc. Not something we can currently do fast enough. Even if we limit ourselves to stationary nodes there may be a large number of hops, which means fairly long latency. So we'd need a trunk, which almost sounds like your typical ISP.
Then we have the issue of distance between nodes. Depending on population density, each node may be out of range of any other node. Making the idea fall apart for any place with reasonably low population density. I'm imagining this will be a mostly wireless type mesh network ( as the OP seems to indicate asking about frequency allocations ). So, we could increase transmission power, but then we'll have problems with collision avoidance algorithms increasing latency since we'd have to have confirmation that no other devices will be communicating over a fairly large radius of transmission assuming people will want to pay enough for such a large transmitter/receiver, which also means certain nodes would become trunk nodes, fairly similar to what an ISP already will do. Since we have such a large amount of distance between nodes in certain areas we'll most likely have disconnected networks. Especially over oceans and uninhabitable mountainous regions.
HAM radio is actually a possibility to build a network like this along with bluetooth and wifi over short/medium distances. So there does exist some spectrum already for experimental/commercial devices. But there's another problem, if this network does get built, there would need to be a sharing of some of the spectrum for this network, as only certain frequencies have the capability of being transmitted long enough distances, or being capable of anything other than line-of-sight type communication. I'm sure I'm missing some problems with creating a world wide mesh network. These issues would severely limit the feasibility of any global type mesh network, unfortunately.
Aren't jailbreaking and unlocking different? Calibrating refers to being able to execute cystine programs on your phone, whereas unlocking allows one to use any carrier. I think this article is referring to jailbreaking.
It's not even a generalization. It's the exact same algorithms. Once you can solve a 4x4x4 there is no extra algorithms needed at all to solve any cubes of any higher degree.
The typical idea is to solve the cube to the point of being a 3x3x3 with all the centers and edges solved. When solving the edges if you're trying to get the edges in place any portion of the edges can be grouped to look like a cube with a smaller degree.
Someone could argue that the 5x5x5 and 4x4x4 algorithms are needed, because of the extra center edge pieces, but with proper edge pairing that's usually a moot issue. But, I could always be wrong, the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 algorithms might be needed for any cube larger than a 3x3x3. The real point is that anything above a certain point is the exact same algorithms.
Nailing, even by hand, isn't old-school manual construction.
Nailguns are mostly only useable in certain circumstances, like when doing framing, or woodwork finishing. When it comes to things like putting metal siding, spiking concrete, or putting in drywall beads nail guns don't have the accuracy, nor the light touch required.
Also, if you're meaning screws are the wave of the future, they don't have the type of give that are needed in many situations. For instance, if a building was put up with only screws in an earthquake the screws would tend to break whereas the nails would allow for some room to move and maintain their hold. Either way, nailing is still new school.
I'm pretty sure that not being paid would instroduce more bias than having some kind of standard rate. The reason I say this is because many of the reviewers will just briefly look over the paper and give some kind of default opinion on it without really reading it well. With monetary incentive they may do a better job of reviewing it as their time is paid for.
Then again, it could also introduce a problem where people still just give a default review and take the money.
Perhaps a study needs to be done on this so that the journal can be locked behind a paywall never to be read by anyone as the price would be too high.
I'm all for having more expert computers in the fields, as it means we can potentially get better treatment. But, people tend to be lazy, and I'm sure, given as many patients as some doctors have to see in a day, that some of the people that are supposed to be doing what we hire doctors to do will be just asking watson for the treatment with probably only a half-assed attempt at verifying how good those results may be. It seems like Isabel might have a bit more promise in these markets for safety.
Also, if Isabel doesn't understand non-jargon, why not develop a way to use Watson to "translate" into technical speak for Isabel. Then again, that might just be a google translate style accident waiting to happen.
You call that a bag? This is a bag.
That's not a bag, that's a jar.
Oh, I see you've played baggy-jarry before.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
