70ms seems unrealistic. Steam Home Streaming has lower latency than that. And Gizmodo's review says 30ms for streaming when using an included dongle.

Competition comes from competere "strive in common, strive after something in company with or together,".

Complaining about people achieving things which might benefit you because they are doing it partly for selfish reasons is some of the whiniest bullshit possible.

Rat shack could have embraced Arduino timely and it might have kept them alive long enough to get into 3d printing. Instead they pretended it was the 1970s for the entire time they existed, at least until they turned into the worst cellphone store.

The only sock puppet accounts around here are the ones used to mod me down when I know things or want people to be held accountable for supporting rapists. If you were actually part of the Slashdot leadershit you wouldn't reply, you'd just mod me down. The editors post stories which will get people riled up about politics constantly, and they obviously do it specifically to increase post counts and the do not give one half of one shit about whether there is a technical interest. All that matters is more arguments, more impressions, just like any other social media site.

I wish they would block sock puppeting. They could start by turning anonymous posting off again, since it is used almost exclusively for trolling. But when they do that, the comment counts dive even harder because this place now runs on the very same political arguments "you" (a sock puppet) are crying about here.

Every time a coward cries about sock puppets, iron becomes more irony.

There are no doubt better words, and English has never been shy about using loan words, so there's no excuse for contaminating those words by using them for something they're not suited to.

No, and it requires ignorance not only of power distribution systems but also basic electrical theory to think that it is strange. The wire has resistance and it heats as you pass current through it. The real and not theoretical current carrying capacity is limited by temperature, so obviously the way you determine whether you are reaching the capacity is to measure the temperature of the wire.

"simply" is how you do everything.

We know how much power is flowing at each point. That does not tell you how much current the wires can actually carry, which decreases as they age and also varies with ambient conditions. Before they hung the sensors on the wires, they had to guess at the actual capacity using formulas. Now that they have sensors on the wires, they know what the actual capacities are, and can send more power over the high tension lines.

If you would like me to use smaller words, I can probably arrange that, but I'd prefer you ask an LLM for that instead. It's a waste of my time, much like this entire comment.

"civilized world" ... get fucked, poser.

Seeing some very negative prices in the mid west (I think that's the right term) states too. Not even free electricity, people are being paid to use it.

Can you get a tariff that pays you to use energy in the US? Here in Europe we have some, and if you play the game right with a home battery your energy can be pretty much free.

Solar panels are actually very good for the environment. They can help over-farmed land recover by providing shade. Livestock and some crops can live under them very happily.

They are good for your house too, they reflect some of the heat away in the summer.

I'm glad that they made the pre-orders fair. I'm not after one, but too often they open in the middle of the night (for Europeans) and by the time we are awake are sold out or all the "early bird" deals are gone. I hate that, I'm not paying more that someone else just because they found out about it first, or I had to be asleep so I could work the next day.

This way where there is a large window and then the queue order is random is much better.

Some people will certainly buy it at that price. I'm not even saying it's overpriced for what it is today. I'm saying you can't make it highly successful at that price.

If they can cover their costs they get into a product and get a bunch of experience and IP for the future in which it actually is viable to make it cheap enough to be successful, so it might be worth doing. But it's hard enough to sell the kind of game consoles everyone is comfortable with at that price "in this economy" etc etc.

Didn't read the letter? Apple is allowed to brief the White House but can't talk to Congress.

Don't be silly, the aristocracy would be instantly abolished once the new States are under the Constitution.

My question is whether or not England comes in as one single State, or if it should be broken up a bit. Will it be the States of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England, or ...I dunno, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wessex, East Anglia, Mercia, and Northumbria?

Where's AniMoJo? I want his input on what we'll call where his home.

A. The UK does have oil. Plenty.

B. Agreed. I too remember the indignity Dolly Madison was forced to endure as she rescued priceless works of art from the White House as the filthy Brits set it aflame. We should have taken it quietly in '44, but that's in the past. States 51-54 are the future.
3. This is the best damn idea you've ever had!

In civil suits, yes. I don't think this is a civil suit. The IPT hears complaints against the government, and I don't think they're considered lawsuits (but may be wrong). I expect that the proceedings are secret though, so's the FISA court here. But this is an American company.

Now, note the second paragraph of the letter where they point out that Apple was told they could talk to the White House, but not Congress. That's a problem. Congress has oversight and investigations powers. They can call the AG into a hearing and won't take, "The UK told Apple to tell me not to say", as an answer. There are things the AG doesn't have to tell Congress, but I don't think this is one of them. Nobody in the Federal government is a party to the argument, it isn't diplomatic exchanges between heads of state, it isn't private executive communication, it's a formal report from a private American company about what another government is trying to make them do. Congress is already allowed to investigate dealings between American companies and foreign governments. They've passed laws about it.

Apple isn't charged with any crimes but would be if they spoke to Congress. If Congress wants to talk to them, and Apple won't, Apple will be charged with a crime. Congress wants to talk to them. Ouch.

Note the word "subsidiary".
