They themselves openly admitted to enriching uranium well beyond the agreed amount. What part of that is a success?
Trump unilaterally pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018 reimposing its nuclear related sanctions. The admissions you are referring to occurred some four years after the US bailed.
That surprised me, too. TypeScript is a very poorly-congealed ("designed" seems a bit strong) language.
Of the two popular scripting languages - python and ruby - python probably makes more sense as you can compile into actual binaries if you want.
For speed and parallel processing, which I'd assume they'd want, they'd be better off with Tcl or Erlang, both of which are much much better suited to this sort of work.
Then they should have used Tcl.
Changing your upstream repo away from a commercial service like Github to something else like your own upstream takes 20 seconds if you have to look up the command. That M1cr0s0ft would eventually crappify github was just a matter of time.
If you need some web interface thingie for your central Git repo-base, I recommend checking out Gitea.
In what country is it legal to sell such balcony solar systems?
It is popular throughout the world with many millions of installs. Half the country (USA) has legislation allowing balcony either already on the books or in process.
And what country has such odd meters that flow into the wrong direction makes it count the same as the right direction?
With a unidirectional meter you can have counting of reverse flow be blocked or count as an absolute value of flow against you. I don't know the details about models and reasons for it yet I know people with these meters have been charged for unintentional export because they for example had the CT installed backwards.
They created fusion.
At least they claim so.
It is clear from the article.
The article says nothing about creating fusion. The announcement was first plasma not fusion.
The solar compatible meter does a couple of things. First, it allows solar generated power to go back to the grid if on-site usage is below generated power levels. Second, it communicates with the utility company so they can manage the entire grid. Third, I *think* it both prevents consumer-generated power from leaking onto the grid during outages, and notifies the utility that there is on-site power generation. The last point is critical for safety - If your house is "hot" during an outage, that power can't be permitted to leak onto the grid otherwise it would be extremely hazardous to workers that are restoring service.
The balcony solar kits are supposed to monitor grid power and they're supposed to shut off the power if grid power goes out. That's a lot of *should*. A certified solar compatible meter and panel solves that part of the problem, but it's stupidly expensive due to the regulatory requirements for permits and electricians to do the work. A homeowner can't simply ask the utility company to put in a solar meter. There's more to it and it makes the costs skyrocket.
The issue with the meters is some don't have the ability to measure direction of flow. If you install a balcony solar system and it produces more energy than you are using at the time the energy you are putting back into the grid is counted as energy consumed and you end up being billed for it.
A workaround is some balcony kits have CTs you place around the main conductors feeding your panel. The solar inverter will use the CT to ensure no excess energy is exported.
All micro inverter kits have working anti-islanding as a standard feature. Normal PV systems work the same way. This isn't a function of the meter and isn't optional. The grid communicates with grid tied inverters directly by monitoring AC frequency. In certain areas like CA and HI there are specific frequency thresholds used to kick the grid tied inverters offline.
That was always one of the suspension of disbelief breaking aspects of Star Trek, too. As if anyone would deal with all the responsibilities and risks involved in being a starship crew member when you could just fake the entire experience in a holosuite instead.
Which is more believable? Simulating real life in a holodeck or the Goddess of Empathy?
Solar panels on deserts are regreening them so they are cooling not heating.
Sand reflects about 70% of solar energy, solar panels reflect about 10% plus another 20% in harvested energy which still leaves you with twice the amount of absorbed energy vs sand.
Greening occurs due to reduced surface temperatures / evaporation due to panel shading.
Screwing panels into place once you've poured all the concrete, installed ground mounts, run all the wiring and electrical boxes is like getting to the 10 yard line and only then breaking out the automation.
Texas's age check law for porn sites was upheld by the SCOTUS, though. I was following it closely because I'm in Florida and we have a similar law.
On one hand the court argued obscenity for minors is a valid basis for denying 1st amendment protections. On the other hand it struct down the same restrictions decades ago in the CDA due to..drumroll... 1st amendment protections. The court just does whatever the hell it wants no different than the recent pulling of absolute presidential immunity out of thin air.
Now where have I seen the diagram on pg9 before?
"The '193 Patent employs the unconventional solution of providing a flag that indicates both merging and skip mode are to be used. This allows for more efficient coding of merge and skip information"
"For example, the encoder can now indicate that a block is being merged and uses skip mode by using a single flag."
Which flag enables ethical behavior within the legal profession?
"Wavefront parallel processing" allowed parallel processing of rows of chunks in "wavefront" style, where each row could be decoded by a separate processor, and decoding of a given chunk in a given row could proceed once the processing of the row above had proceeded to the chunk immediately above and to the right of"
Had to check the date of the patent to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. Well yea it does say "Mar. 14, 2017".
"The '272 Patent employs the unconventional solution of partitioning: using one type of coding to encode smaller values, and if that coding indicates that the value is larger than a threshold, another type of coding is used to indicate how much larger the value is"
There is no other explanation... I am losing my mind.
I'm getting the distinct impression many of these fusion startups are scams. Term igniting plasma in the context of fusion reactors means you have started fusion. All they did here was create plasma.
The business model is just an endless rope-a-dope of milestones that lead nowhere. Even Trump has a fusion startup (e.g. TAE)
Less than 50% of the votes cast were cast for Trump in 3 separate general elections. That means only a minority of the people wanted him there. A gullible, easily misled minority. Or as Trump would say, suckers and losers.
This is not true. Because whatever your personal motivations, the mathematical result of you not voting is that you are voting for whatever majority comes out in the end. And because only a minority voted against Donald Trump, a majority either voted directly for him or was ready to accept his election win.
You misread or misunderstood the statement. Nothing was said or had anything to do with those who didn't vote.
Damn, Windows has really improved in the last 25 years. Wouldn't know since my last Windows was Win2k and my computers only run macOS or Linux and have crashed less that 10 times combined in the last 20 years or so. A well, whatever. Good for people still using Windows, I guess.
It's fabulous! We haven't seen anything like it in the last half an hour! -- Macy's
