In his blog, there are a number of comments about the HTML entity he used instead of the hyphen character. There is speculation that text-to-speech accessibility features were mis-interpreting things as a result.

On the TTS note, It seems like HTML (or at least the dialect used for ebooks, but why not everywhere?) should have a tag for providing pronunciation overrides, which would improve accessibility and finally allow us to know how the authors intended the pronunciation of all those apostrophe'd names.

I think the OP was expressing a desire that misleading people ought to have the same or similar check as search and seizure, and for similar reasons, and undercover operations are the kind of activity that would be sanctioned for limited periods.

Therefore the cities are completely independent and self-suficient and rely on neither the crops themselves nor the resources obtained in trade for the crops.

I would even be willing to put up with all of those things, sometimes, if they would only serve the ads from the same servers as the website. It's the mid-tens. Navigating the web shouldn't be slower and more frustrating than it was in mid-nineties.

Wrong premise. Click-throughs were always dubious, and a silly way to measure the impact of an ad. When was the last time you bought something through a movie poster or billboard?

How do you know? Maybe they're talking about a separate room filled with CAD workstations.

Sure.. That agricultural usage is completely unrelated to the cities.

Or, maybe google offer create a fee structure for listing something in google news that covers the IP cost plus a reasonable administrative fee.

Yet on money, only Uber drivers will be doing that....

Yes, thank you for your post, Coal industry.

It's not the wild west. Device in that category still have power and other requirements and must be type-certified by the FCC. The low power (really low propagation...) requirement is precisely what allows an "unlicensed" band to be able to exist, but is a hindrance to things like cell-phones or broadcast anything if you want to have good coverage without having to put stations literally everywhere.

I agree that for those purposes the spectrum should be leased rather than sold, though. It both provides a mechanism for us to evaluate whether a use continues to be valuable and to sunset particular uses (through choosing not to continue the lease after the term is up.) The leases should be auctioned, though.

You don't need a 1kWe monster for day-to-day tasks, but if you want to have one for special tasks (computer game playing might be a hobby of yours, and is certainly less energy intensive than other hobbies you might have. Auto racing, for example), it might not make sense to also have an 80W computer for general use.

To pay off a $300, 80W machine in this scenario, at US prices you'd need to have like 3000 hours of low-intensity computing tasks. That's the break-even point assuming you're comparing it to a 1kWe monstrosity. If your gaming machine is closer to 500W (still pretty beefy, I'd think, and plenty of quad cores will fit into a balanced machine with that kind of power usage. At least a high mid-range device), it's closer to 6000 hours for break-even.

And it gets worse. It's unlikely that your 1kW monster is actually going to use the full power of all of its components when doing the general tasks, further eroding the advantages the smaller machine has.

You can, but you're sending information from yourself to the moon. If there are two communication stations and you flick your dot between them, they can't communicate with each other using the dot.

Why mount it on the roof? Cut the panels into attractive leaf-like shapes and mount them on several poles driven securely into the ground, pour a patio in between the power flowers. You can put your energy garden anywhere on your property*.

*plan assumes that you have a yard.

Surely the less you learn about it, the more effective your knowledge will be...
