The average American drives 37 miles per day. Adding 5 miles per day of range means barely an eighth of the power gets replaced every day. And that 5 miles per day of charging adds weight; chances are, it doesn't break even for the extra weight. There's a good reason nobody else puts solar panels on cars. If it were a good idea, or even a not-complete-harebrained idea, Tesla would have done it years ago.
Yup, there's also the time factor.
There's an important study of boys at age six being diagnosed with ADHD.
At 6 yrs 1 month the odds are 50% higher than at 6 yrs 11 months.
Because they're both "age 6" but in boys that year is huge in development and all metrics are against the age-appropriate standard.
If you're on WoW or Roblox all your waking hours you will have retarded development vs. somebody who is in the world.
So you'll be more ADHD for a 15 yr old if you mostly miss age 14.
"Trust the experts" and sheet.
Nobody is that "stupid" in those departments.
The question should be what was the quid pro quo?
We can imagine what the PLA got out of it but what favor did Microsoft get?
And how high up the chain did it go? Who specifically approved the arrangement?
At least Microsoft probably has Windows 11 "backups" of the hard drives of anyone who might think of bringing charges.
Not sure if that strategy can be called stupid. Lots of other words apply.
"One Nation Under Blackmail" is a popular phrase.
Yeah, so if this is the cover story what other heat signatures might they be looking for?
It's not immediately obvious to me but something we should understand.
Detecting Zizians would help prevent these forest fires but it would be quite hard for a satellite to do that.
It is generally possible to download without uploading. You'll just likely get a dribble of data when you do.
Absolutely. Even companies that try to switch licenses to "protect" their code, like MinIO did, run the risk of people quickly switching to or creating alternatives. Like RustFS was created specifically to deal with the frustration of MinIO's change.
AGPL is a plague. GPL, I tolerate, though I have a strong preference towards v2. But AGPL has no redeeming qualities. The hypothetical world where someone creates a closed-source fork of a web service, convinces everyone to use it, and then holds their data hostage just isn't particularly plausible.
Meanwhile, AGPL precludes any interesting integrations, custom in-house authentication systems, using custom database backends, and all sorts of other stuff that potentially is useful to keep company-proprietary, but that has no impact whatsoever on the hypothetical freedoms that the AGPL is intended to protect.
It's a license that is so toxic that even companies that are strong proponents of open source with large open source offerings have outright bans on letting AGPLed code anywhere on the premises.
As far as I can tell, the main benefit of AGPL is for companies that create code and want to release it to the public as "free software", because by requiring contributor agreements, they can keep their own branch proprietary while forcing everyone else in the world to comply with the AGPL, thus ensuring that the only company that can create their own proprietary features is them.
It's definitely an interesting case, but it doesn't fit the original description. The GPL didn't prevent Linksys from strangling the free version of anything. No free WiFi routers ever existed, and Linksys did not destroy demand for the Linux kernel or the GNU C library.
Also, nothing in that case forced Linksys to open anything. They could have switched to a BSD kernel and C library, and they would have been in compliance. They chose to open it because they figured it was an easy way to make the case go away, and it could produce good will in the community. And it ended up being a minor windfall for Linksys.
It didn't fucking matter because that case had nothing to do with the presidency.
Gingrich and crew make a political calculation. They overreached and went after impeachment and removal over something that could have been handled with disbarment.
They made a political calculation to ask under oath about an affair that was nobody's business, hoping to catch him in a lie. I believe the word here is "entrapment". So the GP is right about when it started; he/she just incorrectly understood which party started it.
It was always the Republicans.
Nixon tried to start it back in the 1970s. He just found out the hard way that there were still too many Republicans with morals and ethics remaining in the party. So they spent the next four decades driving them out. What remains is the shell of the former Republican Party, surrounding a core of rot and disease. And that is why "President" Trump is still in office.
Anything can fail, which is why the whole point of a backup is to have more than one copy in different places.
1. Sony should be forced to refund the original purchases, no matter how old they are. If the consumer was only "borrowing" the media, then Sony was only "borrowing" the money. 2. Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Rum. IE Piracy.
3. Download it off a torrent site, wait to get threatened by the copyright owner, show them proof that you purchased the product. If they sue you anyway, counter-sue both the copyright owner and Sony for conspiracy to defraud. Ask for seven figures on account of their vexatious litigation.
Exactly. But you have to keep the original BSD license intact. You can modify the files, but you have to acknowledge, that you got them from FreeBSD. That's why many commercial companies like to base their systems on FreeBSD.
You're missing the point. Commercial companies can usurp the code without sharing back to the project that made their business possible. It's quite likely that a commercial company's version can dominate the market, thus strangling the original free version. In fact, this has happened many times. The GPL prevents that from happening.
Realistically, open source software that has a decent number of maintainers means that the quality is good and bugs get fixed, including security bugs. But what that also means is that when problems get fixed in the open source repo, those changes have to be pulled into the source code that companies are building into their products. The more they diverge from the open source version, the harder that becomes. So while a company theoretically could do what you are describing, the reality tends to be tht companies contribute the vast majority of their changes, keeping private only the parts that are specific to their custom integrations with their product.
For example, LLVM is under a permissive license, and some of the biggest contributors are companies like Apple. They use it in their proprietary products (Xcode). But they are basically using it as a library and giving back their changes. What they're not doing is giving back the tools that they wrap around it. But the original core functionality is still out there, still open, and still being maintained.
The GPL doesn't actually prevent that from happening. It just means that the code gets rewritten instead of being copied. It makes the closed-source app ever so slightly more expensive to develop and ever so slightly later to hit the market. If the closed-source app is better than the Free Software app, it will still dominate the market unless someone is prepared to throw resources into making the Free Software app equally capable, and the market will still determine the winners and losers.
We can operate at night, but do we want to? Your comment is precisely why I'm an advocate for permanent DST I'm not a morning person, so fuck any light in the morning. Give me sunlight in the afternoon to sit outside and enjoy myself.
Also no we can't operate perpetually at night, at least not without medical issues. This is one of the reason vitamin D deficiency is a thing.
There is absolutely no reason that work and other mandatory things cannot be done at night, leaving the daytime free for you to do your own things. Wasting what limited daylight hours we have stuck in a cube farm with artificial lights anyway is ridiculous. There are very few jobs that actually require natural light these days.
Further from the equator there is not enough sunlight for that. You'll either be going to work/school in darkness, or coming back in darkness unless you want to severely shorten the duration of the work/school day.
The sun always rises later in the winter, that's the nature of winter... The only thing this changes is the arbitrary numbers that are displayed when the sun is rising.
Instead of fixating around those arbitrary numbers, plan your day around actual environment factors like when the sun rises etc.
The root of the problem is rigidly tying people's daily routines to an arbitrary set of numbers, and then changing those numbers rather than changing the routine.
C Code. C Code Run. Run, Code, RUN! PLEASE!!!!
