There are traffic engineering standards that describe this in every state and the country itself. However, that doesn't prevent a person with revenue generation intent from tampering when they install or maintain the signal, even remotely I suppose these days. If the same team that operates the things is also in charge of auditing the settings for compliance with standards.....you see where this is leading

No one already established will take a chance on a new method or paradigm. This is why all real changes happen in smaller, lighter, hungrier companies.

I presume that users will be reimbursed for power they "brought from home" if the net energy movement is to the building over the course of a day?

spread spectrum, burst, drone broadcasts only during large portions of the flight, directional antennas working via satellite link to the drone. All ways of avoiding that problem, there's likely more too depending on the specifics. There may be missions where this isn't a concern, depends on the sophistication of the adversary I suppose

Document the problems, report them up your chain appropriately and thoroughly, backup that documentation to personal storage resources to CYA and get out of there before the inevitable implosion happens. The management shakeup that will occur during and after the implosion will sweep away people regardless of who was aware of it and reporting it properly. The CYA is in case there are legal repercussions which draw you in,

I think the real reason for RT was to spur Intel to get better power consumption on their chipsets for the real version of Windows, seems to have met that goal if you view it that way

as do Windows phones, but no Android apps (ducking the flames lol)

what makes it fearful to those that are squeamish that way is the large concentration of people in a single location, not the screening itself. The screening line is a big juicy target OUTSIDE the secured area for some that are inclined to take that sort of action.

ultrabook, not netbook, my bad.

Article summary: "For example, the Surface Pro 2 made great strides over the original Surface Pro, increasing web-browsing battery life by 42%, but it still lags far behind Android and iOS tablets" Surface Pro (I have one) is a full Intel netbook running full Windows 8 or 8.1 in a tablet package. The valid comparison is the Surface RT to iOS and Android OS devices not the Surface Pro.

Comparing Android or iOS on ARM to Windows (or OSX or Linux) on a full i386 platform is simply meaningless. Why do it?

(former HMO IT guy) That 30% administrative cost is driven primarily by the hideous complexity of health care billing brought on by the mutli-payor insurance setup we have today. Every single line item on a hospital bill must be evaluated for who pays for it. That takes a lot of skilled labor in classification of each individual item. Then throw various mixtures into the mix of who allows what to be done, various contractual pricing schemes not seen by the individual consumer, etc. etc. etc. It's a God awful mess in there. THAT is where the administrative costs come from. Not from corporate profits. and seriously, do you think a government operated bureaucracy would have LESS overhead in its' operation? What planet do you live on if you think that?

Means you have days to respond, not minutes. And a backup kicked in quickly, accompanied (I presume) with a lot of alarms and a very strong reprimand from management for "testing an interlock" Why is this news?

and despite that, rigging the lottery has been done. The person most directly responsible got busted, but we can be certain that a lot of "side bet" money was made that went outside of law enforcement's view. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Pennsylvania_Lottery_scandal

So I guess government agencies will be responsible for the accidents when they send Amber/weather/disaster alerts to the entire population of a region simultaneously? Yeah, right. If you're sending an alert to as many as ten million people simultaneously (NYC mobile phone users?) there is definitely a reasonable assumption that at least some portion of them are driving when they receive it. And on my handset at least those things are LOUD (I've since disabled most of them) This ruling is stupid beyond description.
