People once predicted that only "the rich" would have cars, TVs, and computers, and that these technologies would result in envy and social stratification.
Looked at from a global perspective (which is necessary, since so many of our cars, TVs, and computers come from overseas), how is this not true?
It can certainly feel hungrier after eating 200kcal of doritos than 200kcal of chicken, making it more likely that at the end of the day you've consumed 3000kcal instead of 2000. I speak from personal experience on this one (though admittedly my most recent "experiment" used cheetos).
and a dorito is (heavily) processed grains. If you're willing to consider "processed" a boundary, then it may work for you. If not, you'll have to find some other rule of thumb.
The figure I've heard is that 10 calories per pound is a rough average for maintenance. It goes up if you have more muscle.
You find it improbable that the electric company will have the capacity they currently do, in a timeframe that would prevent these minigrids from finding other backup methods (like connecting to other minigrids far enough away to avoid being in the same storm pattern)?
this is basically incitement to flamewar
true, but that tends to drop the water back off further away than would be optimal for this situation.
I'm really curious what feature causes my Kindle app to need phone access. I was curious why FitBit needed camera access until I realized it had a barcode scanner. But I don't use its barcode scanner, so I'd be perfectly fine with denying it camera access permanently, and if that means having the OS lie to it about the existence or state of the hardware, so be it. Is fitbit going to refuse to install on anything that doesn't have a camera (there's gotta be something out there without a camera...)?
Android apps request everything anyway. What I want is a way to say "yeah, I know you want this, but you ain't getting it. Install anyway, and the OS will just pretend that function returns nothing."
The ones for cars hopefully are, because the car companies have a concept of liability for poor design decisions and they're likely to have or know someone who realizes that RTOS is going to work better for that case than what you'd put on a web server. Like the folks who do the firmware for the engine control system; that's got some reasonably tight time tolerances.
Toasters, not so much. Then again, toasters don't really care about windblown bags.
so, since the attackers came with prewritten exploits, that essentially means that IE got tested first. And this means what?
Which is not to say that it's a bad thing, just that it doesn't match the suggested description
That's not deciding how many are needed, it's experimenting to see how many can survive.
true, but "channel" is not necessarily equivalent to "frequency", and it sounds like they're just looking at sharing the frequency. TDM would indeed count as fast switching half duplex, but polarization might not.
*looks at the number of wifi SSIDs visible from my apartment* yes.
1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.
