I work in this industry this is a joke and everything listed is already required. The actual requirements are here and are somewhat readable. https://www.nerc.com/pa/stand/... You are required to annual training and quarterly awareness item. You are required to have IPS/IDS systems. You are required to identify High, Medium, and Low impact system. You are required to asses the security of your supply chain. From what I have seen so far this is nothing new here.

It is in quite specific cases. See the review linked https://www.anandtech.com/show...
In the SPECint2017 suite, we’re seeing the new i7-11700K able to surpass its desktop predecessors across the board in terms of performance. The biggest performance leap is found in 523.xalancbmk which consists of XML processing at a large +54.4% leap versus the 10700K. The rest of the improvements range in the +0% to +15% range, with an average total geomean advantage of +15.5% versus the 10700K. The IPC advantage should be in the +18.5% range More interesting are the multi-threaded SPEC results. Here, the new generation from Intel is showcasing a +5.8% and +16.2% performance improvement over its direct predecessor. Given the power draw increases we’ve seen this generation, those are rather unimpressive results, and actually represent a perf/W regression. AMD’s current 6-core 5600X actually is very near to the new 11700K, but consuming a fraction of the power.

The USA is technically metric. Just about all of the US units a defined as some number of metric units. Example.1 inch is defined as 25.4 mm and has been that way since 1959. https://www.nist.gov/pml/weigh... https://www.nist.gov/physical-...

It is not the longest flight ever, by any aircraft, by time. The record is over 64 days, 64:22:19:05 to be exact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... It looks like it has the unmanned record though. Still a cool achievement having a solar powered plane in the air for that long, and has potential as a satellite replacement.

I think you confused legal and illegal. Legal in every state but California. https://www.online-paralegal-p... https://www.quora.com/Is-it-le...

Did anyone else read that as major fail update?

No you are only off by 2.8 trillion it's 16.878 trillion

OSHA's maximum safe level is 3% (30,000 ppm) and 10% (100,000 ppm) is considered lethal so 400 ppm is no big deal.

I have a Steam account on a computer with no internet access the has been in offline mode since 2005. Everything still works fine.

That number conveniently ignores the battery efficiency.

So lets re run those number including every thing.

Fuel to electricity 40% ( Generation plant)

Transmission ~90%

Battery Depends on chemistry

NI-MH ~66%

Li-ion ~80-90%

NiCd ~70-90%

SOFC ~60%

DC Motor 75-92%

Bottom Line From fuel to road

Best case 30%

Wost case with current EV batteries 18%

Modern ICE 20-25%

SOFC EV 45%

Right now if you are an utility with any significant amount electric generation you have to be connected to the internet. That is where you markets are to sell your electricity to transmission providers.
