From commentary on Reddit (including former 787 pilots), the audio seems to indicate that the RAT was deployed, which would indicate a full power failure. If that happened before the gear was retracted, it would have left it in place. Also, the video quality and flap design make it difficult to tell whether flaps were deployed or not.

And
Whether or not the flaps were down may not be so cut and dry: https://old.reddit.com/r/aviat...
The commentary on r/aviation is good on the flaps up/down point, in so far as we canâ(TM)t really tell from the videos we currently have: https://old.reddit.com/r/aviat...
Thatâ(TM)s not what the abstract says:
âoeThe transfer caused total individual income to fall by about $1,500/year relative to the control group, excluding the transfers.â
So they netted out about $9900/year ahead of the control group (((1000-50)*12)-1500).
My wife drives a Tesla. This is in keeping with our experience on road trips. Most of the chargers we stop at are actually at gas stations. We spend roughly the same amount of time inside as we did with a gas car, hitting the restroom, grabbing food and drink, and generally walking around for a minute or two to get blood flowing. Admittedly, if our trips were on major, major highways on major travel weekends, these stations with ~8 chargers might not be able to handle a sudden influx, but they do ok with a constant stream of cars. And the chargers seem to be easy to build out, as another stop we often make is at a mall with ~20 chargers and not a significant amount more infrastructure space for transformers, etc. I'm really interested to see what happens when Buc-ee's starts putting in chargers at their mega travel stops.
I actually see another benefit of all these chargers going in: setting up infrastructure that encourages lots of local grid sized batteries for emergency power. The chargers need power infrastructure and network infrastructure to allow for payment, etc., so it's only a little extra work for someone to put in a battery that can be connected and controlled by/with a smart grid. The people owning the batteries can buy/sell to their hearts' content, and the local station makes a decent monthly lease for the space and keeping the area safe for the systems. Like you said, it's a lot easier than dealing with leaking underground tanks and needing to pay a person to be there 24/7 (or as much as they're open) in case they need to hit the emergency stop/fire suppression button.
This whole thing reminds me of a video I saw once of a smokin' hot female Phd who said "you know, I can make this widget last four times as long if they'd let me add 10% to the price".. of course that didn't happen. Said company has a mediocre reputation in its sector as a result.
I...need to see this video...
It's not just the amount and distance. I'm really interested by the relative position of the asteroids to the Earth/Sun. Up until ~1988, all the discoveries are pretty much in the Earth's shadow. Between then and 2010, the cone begins expanding to ~30 degrees or so. Then, in 2010, the cone splits into 2 lines, only a few degrees wide, but at the edge of the old discovery cone. Then suddenly those two discovery cones jump and are perpendicular to the Earth/Sun line.
Really cool.
They also were attacked separately where the theft took place. They don't know if these groups were working together. They blame the latter on Anonymous too. How did they draw that final conclusion??
If A=B, and B=C, then C="Anonymous fucking did it!" That's basic logic right there.
He was on the FBI's "10 Most Wanted" list, right?
Yeah, I'm going with porn.
was a fabless semiconductor company
I know this is supposed to be joking, but I want this sooo bad now...
"Telebot, you are dismissed!" - Powers off
"Telebot, make me a sandwich!" - Tunes to the cooking channel
"Telebot, make me laugh!" - Tunes to Comedy Central
"Telebot, make me cry!" - Tunes to Fox News
"Telebot, make it rain, bitch!" - Tunes to the Weather Channel
"Telebot, hold!" - Pauses the DVR
"Telebot, kill!" - Turns to Lifetime and stops responding to instructions
"Telebot, where is/are my ____?" - Brings up a cool "scanning" video, with crosshairs and google maps and random windows with text flying by while it says "Scanning...Scanning" over and over. Then it stops, jumps to an rendering of "R.U.D.I." from the Jetsons which says "Up your butt!"
I am easily entertained...
Success is something I will dress for when I get there, and not until.
