Yes, pulling the fire alarm is exactly the same thing as violently attacking police officers, vandalizing a government building and attempting to hang the vice president.
Not in MAGA land. Pulling a fire alarm if you are a D is much worse.
The data centre owners are saying that they want to externalize their costs by re-opening coal plants, instead of investing in renewables and storage for themselves.
Exactly, and they use the lure of jobs and tax revenue to get cities to bring them in; meanwhile the grid gets stressed. The data centers also want to be the last one to get interrupted in the event of demand shortfalls, so guess who will get blacked out before them? Meanwhile, the power company has to fight to get new plants sited cause of NIMBY while the same locations invite data centers to their town. I'm just glad I get my power from a wall outlet...
Upon sentencing, Lachwani turned his head all the way around and told the judge "Your mother sews socks that smell!"
Have you ever signed up for cable or even some streaming? They quote one price and tell you all the amazing things it includes. But the bill is higher and includes special fees for some of the things that were touted to be included in the advertised price.
I see no requirement for a GLOBAL rest frame. Ships push against the water all the time, but ocean water is not a global rest frame.
Wild imagination alert here. Imagine a "dark magnet" that could push against dark matter permeating space. Now the whole thing reduces to either a propeller in the water or an electrodynamic tether. Of course, it's not going to be producing one newton per watt.
You're missing the point. Any decent engineer KNOWS that fiber cuts happen. Whether they should or should not is irrelevant, they happen all the time. Having a state's 911 service depending on a single cable not being damaged is piss poor engineering at best.
Side note, always keep a short length of fiber with you. If you get lost or stranded, bury the length of fiber in the ground. When the backhoe shows up to break it, ask the operator for a lift into town.
We really need the cloud to butt extension more than ever.
Look up Starfish Prime. A nuclear test at an altitude of 250 miles. It caused some unexpected EMP damage in Hawaii, 900 miles away.
Checking out in a power failure has only gotten harder over time. Now it's well beyond just having someone who can do arithmetic. None of the prices are actually on the items so without the scanner and the POS looking it up in a database the cashier has no way to know the price other than have someone go look at the shelf (assuming they can FIND the correct price there). Once it's all totaled up (perhaps an hour or 2 later), there's no way to accept a card payment. If the power outage is generalized, the customer can't get the cash either even if they have plenty in the bank. In some areas, even knowing the different tax rates on different classes of items would be an issue (school supplies vs. staple goods vs. 'luxury' goods).
At least the equipment that would be fried on the local distribution side is easy to come by. The transformers that would need a rebuild on the distribution side would have to be rebuilt since there are no spares. There's also nobody prepared to do such a rebuild in the U.S. currently.
If Congress is REALLY worried about any sort of strategic resiliency, that needs to be addressed. There should be spares and on-shore capability to manufacture and re-manufacture that equipment.
Nothing except the Slashdot headline seems to indicate they changed the story. They just edited some crappy snapshots. Aledgedly to hide whoever was slipping the filmmaker personal photos from a girl who tried to kill her parents.
Clearly we need a law. All TV shows must consist of slideshows of unedited crappy snapshots.
Yup. Typical slashdot headline; all tjat is missing is “reason ten will amaze you” TFA was clear the reason, as you point out, and nothing was nefarious.
So what makes you sure there is nothing reacted against in a different propellantless drive? Even if you don't know what it is.
Again, not that I think the drive in TFA is going to actually produce thrust.
Now run the numbers for an electric motor where the rotor is a satellite with an electromagnet and the stator is the Earth.
Note carefully that I am not claiming the propellantless drive in TFA actually does anything but get warm (if that), just that a theoretical propellantless drive need not intrinsically violate thermodynamics.
Why do you people think it was poorly edited and anonymized photos by AI and not a person? It's pretty normal to edit photos in these situations for the reasons outlined in the article.
AI has become the big evil; so even if it is used to do what used to be done with other tools the result is somehow bad. CGI, Photoshop, AI are just one set of tools used in moviemaking, and can be used well or poorly and the results are all that really counts. Using any of them to change a story while claiming to present facts is a separate issue form whether or not any of those tools were used.
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
