Stores information and processes it in the same place? You mean like every other computer ever?
Well, no. I didn't RTFA because I'm not new here, but ordinary computers have to copy the data from memory into a register before they can process it. They don't process it in-place. And most data is not kept in memory all the time, either, but I figured they meant the first sense.
The Previa couldn't get out of its own way. That's why the had to make the Sienna.
No, that's why they made the Previa S/C. Sucked gas, though. But you certainly could fit a smaller electric motor in there with more power.
Low government interference? Again, you're just talking about a California problem.
That's what they say about everything... well, everything that doesn't come from NY.
I don't see how a PID controller will help much.
It helped him win.
You are cooking with very low temperature air (around 200 F).
Yes, temperature control is what PID is used for in this context.
You have this massive ceramic cooker with large heat capacity.
No, I'm not talking about TFA, I'm talking about every other BBQ. Anyway you can buy a PID fan controller as a complete unit and stick it up your Weber's arse.
The most important thing for good BBQ is picking a good cut of meat. Do that right and you can throw it in your oven and it will be delicious.
That's not even BBQ.
That's kind of how the old-school pitmasters look at rigs like this. It has a purpose, and it has value...but you won't get any respect for using one.
I don't want respect, I want brisket that isn't dried out like literally every bit of brisket I've had outside of Texas.

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The Cult of Personality
I know your anger
I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the Cult of Personality
The Cult of Personality

Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you
Still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the Cult of Personality
The Cult of Personality
The Cult of Personality
Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the cult of personality!
I'm the Cult of
I'm the Cult of
I'm the Cult of
I'm the Cult of

Water falls out of the sky in most of the world.
Sadly, in more and more parts of it, it's becoming illegal to collect it. And mind you, I'm not talking about diverting seasonal drainage, I'm talking about collecting rainfall from your roof, let alone from a structure purpose-built for collecting water like you commonly see in areas with high rainfall and low government interference.
Is that a quote from somewhere? Who said that?
I'm pretty sure the last part is something I read someplace, if not verbatim then next door, and attached to a similar sentiment. There Will Be Idiots is my motto these days, so it crept in there. I can't find anything, either. Whatever it originally was, I probably read it here.
A good workmanlike book? It is to SF what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, and one of the greatest pieces of world creation ever written.
Through lifelong dedication, a craftsman can align a car with a string, or smoke BBQ in a trash can, or whatever it is he or she does. But their activity doesn't scale beyond what they can personally produce. And if they end up smoking 100 pounds of meat per day to run their restaurant, that's it. There's little time left in the day to innovate. Craftsmen don't scale well, unless they industrialize their processes, (and then you risk ending up with a product with all the qualities of Budweiser.).
The rest of us are dedicated to other things: jobs, families, other hobbies. Does our inexperience mean we can't enjoy products of similar quality as the craftsmen produce? What's wrong with distilling the essence of their wisdom into a PID controller and an Atmel chip? If my BBQ-bot fails, I'm certainly not going to fix it with string - but that's not the point. The point is I could occasionally enjoy a high quality smoked brisket, thanks to a machine that knows more than I do about the process.
Wow, commemorating an outrage makes me suck? You have a very, very screwed up worldview.
And the process does generate some not-nice waste.
Such as? How not-nice is it? Will it ignore you on the bus? Will it fail to put you on its Christmas card list?
I remember watching some BBQ competition TV series (figures, right?) and the winner was an asian dude who built his own PID BBQ fan controllers and used them with cheap grills. It's not impossible for a human to get that kind of consistency, but it's not expensive to let a computer do it any more.
Now, why aren't all the things PID? People regularly retrofit even digital appliances to be PID because they aren't already, how insane is that?
There's a clawing feeling that it was somehow 'My Fault'.... and it probably was. With hindsight, maybe I should've set it to run the backup while we were in the building, rather than at home over the weekend. I could've used an external drive to keep one locally too. There were probably a dozen things that I could've done that'd stop it.
Only one thing which really mattered... verifying your backups. If you don't do that, there's almost no point in making any. (It gives you something to pray for...)
Obviously the outcome was suspected before going, but he does claim that he did call them up and be very clear before he was going where he was going, and that the card still didn't work; a subsequent call solved the problem, but in the moment it would still be highly frustrating. But returning to the first point, if you suspect it will go this way, then yes the whole video is an attempt to sell us the idea (for whatever reason) that if you buy an i3, you'd better buy the range extender. I, of course, am using it to sell the idea that EVs need lots of range, and since there are some relatively cheap ones coming out which suit the description better than the i3, which is not quite BMW's message. With that said, I wouldn't buy a Bolt, either
