What does ChatGPT say about a non-profit converting to a for-profit company (by moving essentially all of its operations and assets to a for-profit subsidiary)?

There's a big difference between "necessary for WiFi" and "necessary to do WiFi well". Patents often cover the later rather than the former.

That's only because there is no largest prime number. It's trivial to factor any prime number. The tricky part is proving that a number is prime.

Batteries are catching up faster than it will be cost-effective to build nuclear in the US. A month ago, Bremen Airport announced they had integrated a new sodium-ion battery with a 400 kW output and 1 MWh capacity into its infrastructure. The entire thing apparently fits in roughly one twenty-foot shipping container, and there is almost certainly room to expand that to additional batteries to provide power through the night and beyond.

Beyond that, Peak Energy just signed a deal to build up to 4.7 GWh of sodium-ion batteries by the end of the decade. This follows a successful 3.5 MWh demo project in Colorado. Time will tell if they can successfully scale up and avoid the fate of Natron energy, which just ceased operations.

But the market does appear to be moving rapidly in the direction of battery storage regardless of individual solutions, with BNEF forecasting another 92 GW of output and 247 GWh of capacity just for batteries in 2026, almost a quarter more than 2025. They expect growth of 2 TW/7.3 TWh by 2035. Some people think that's conservative, similar to how solar has blown past everyone's expectations from even 2015. I think if the iron- and vanadium-based flow battery demos work as hoped, that could let cheap grid-level battery installations soar beyond anyone's expectations. Whether lithium-ion, sodium-ion, or flow, they will land far sooner than we could build equivalent nuclear plants. It will be better to greatly expand solar, like over parking lots, irrigation canals, and other places where they can lower heat and supply energy to the batteries. It's politically easier and can provide more jobs in more areas that don't require college degrees. Many more winners than sticking with nuclear or fossil fuels.

I replaced my Galaxy Tab S6 with an S10 Ultra, and the new one is just too big for my druthers. I didn't realize that it wouldn't fit as well in places like my backpack's tablet pouch, and it's heavy. The pen might be good for some users, but I haven't found a place that I would use it.

On the plus side, windowed apps seem theoretically nice, although I haven't yet used them in anger.

It usually is possible to issue a chargeback. It might take some work on the customer's part, but it will get a lot more attention from the vendor than a customer who ghosts them.

The Apple App Store takes a similar slice of revenue and has a much smaller addressable market -- including just about none of the high-end gamers, given that current Macs are stuck with whatever GPU is built onto the CPU. "Might" is doing an awful lot of work in your comment.

The turbines are a sunk cost and so there's value in conversion than turning them to scrap and building fuel cells.

There are no sunk costs around the turbines. The existing turbines will be replaced. From TFS:

In their place, the DWP will install new combined-cycle turbines that are expected to operate on a mixture of natural gas and at least 30% hydrogen with the ultimate goal of running entirely on hydrogen as more supply becomes available.

They're reusing the land and part of the existing structure on it. Almost everything else is getting replaced.

Modern combined-cycle gas turbines are much more efficient than that. Most new installations now get around 60% efficiency if not better, and the current record is 64.18%, set by a Siemens turbine at Keadby Unit 2 Power Station in the UK. The end result won't be 68%, but it also won't be 34%. Given the losses associated with electrolysis, the net is likely to be around 50%, which still makes it a bad idea.

Well I *meant* to post as AC. I'll have to apply those mod points elsewhere :( ... and ironically Slashdot is throttling me, for reasons unrelated to whether my ISP uses CGNAT.

Can you elaborate on #2? In principle, an IPv6 firewall / stateful router can protect devices on the LAN by essentially using NAT logic except for rewriting addresses, right? Assuming that a more naive approach of blocking incoming SYN packets by default isn't good enough, at least.

(Posting as AC so I can moderate up some deserving comments below.)

The problem in this case, as usual, was lazy government rather than big government. A government with high capacity to get things done is not necessarily bad, but usually government turns into a power trip or a mire of reasons that things cannot be done -- and big or effective government is bad in both of those cases.

Did TFA explain why the mother didn't get a court to order her ex to transfer the parental role to her? There are decades of precedent about how to have courts sort out custody disputes and to deal with people who won't cooperate. As an added benefit, it is almost entirely independent of the account provider -- it will work for Apple, Google Samsung, whomever.

Sure, if by "evidence" you mean simulations of a two-seller market where one of the two sellers in a market has a strategy that is essentially only flipping a coin.

This is evidence about the sorry state of economics research much more than about the real world.

2K and 1080p are the same resolution, but 2K -- like 4K and 8K -- is an approximation to the horizontal resolution, whereas 1080p is a combination of the vertical resolution and the scan mode (progressive scan rather than interlaced).

720p: 1280x720, 1080p or 2K: 1920x1080, 4K: 3840x2160, 8K: 7680x4320.
