I've been hiking in the government reservation around my town. I live near Eglin AFB which has almost half a million acres of land and about a quarter of a million acres are open to the public with a permit. There's easily over a

Yeah if a manufacturer wanted to hold off on drawing a higher load to recharge the battery until after the car was warmed up they would just do that by lowering the setpoint. If you try and draw higher current from it it would still meet th

To add to the other responses, the reason why they were capturing sensitive data was most likely because instead of doing filtering and processing live while they were driving around they chose to just deal with that after the fact and proc

It doesn't have to be perfect. If 90% of the at risk population where it's allowed to spread has immunity, then that's high enough that the virus would logarithmically decay. That's often referred to as "herd immuni

>We want something like 150 degrees so it actually feels warm. The reason why you want the air cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter is to achieve a similar (comfortable) rate of heat loss through your skin. The reason why that f

As someone who uses Arch as a daily driver and has spent plenty of time messing around with rpmbuild I disagree with your claim that yum (RPMs) is tedious to maintain. RHEL and CentOS are behind on software releases because they actually fr

>firewall control Not to nitpick but you've said this a couple times. Firewalld has no relation to systemd. That's a somewhat common misconception.

No, he's saying that isolation via systemd is basically the same kind of isolation that you get with runtimes like docker. It's just Linux namespaces, which conventional wisdom is to assume that it's a relatively modest secur

Not to mention that the tiny increase is almost a decade of stored water (but not a decade of Tritium coming out of the reactor due to the relatively short half life of tritium). If it was just releasing enough stored water to make room for

This is the saddest misconception that keeps getting trotted out in opposition to nuclear power. People use Fukushima as an example that nuclear power isn't improving in safety, when Fukushima was an old plant around even before Cherno

I know back in the day for RuneScape bots using SCAR there were macros to move the mouse from one position to another on the screen with randomized acceleration, randomized curvature, overshoot, clicking in some bounding box, etc. all using

That was exactly how it was used in Doctor Strange. It's just a movie, they play fast and loose with the rules all the time.

If there is no vulnerability in the javascript engine or any of the API they exposed to it in order to mockup a web browser then it can't do anything. The problem here is that that's not exactly a tiny attack surface, and modern w

Well, no, it wouldn't take any extra precision. If anything, the current setup takes more precision as you have to keep all servos in sync or it'll be pushing one servo against the others. Right now you could unbolt one of the 4 s

by MertsA 7y ago
Why four servos instead of just three? You could still have a square surface with three, just mount to the glass underneath and maybe have a frame on the glass to provide the triangular mount points. That way each servo is truly independent

It's absolutely crucial that masks actually filter out very fine particulates. N95 masks are rated to filter out >=95% of 0.3 micron particles. You probably have the stock to make something close enough to a typical surgical mask, b

Right now I'm battling the rough edges around the RX 5500 XT support. If you try and use 3 monitors it reliably crashes. You can kind of make it work by manually setting monitors.xml to a low resolution on them or a low refresh rate be

Yeah but how are they going to implement that while preserving e2e encryption? They would basically have to either handle all of it on the client, or send along a hash of whatever file was being shared encrypted with a key Apple controls. T

For those specific cases no, but it makes a great source to identify physical objects and their placement in the world. Obviously that can be done to a sufficient degree with just stereoscopic vision, but look at all of the autopilot fatali

What about this is something that's too complicated to retrofit? Why would they even need to tear into existing wiring harnesses to fix this? Just run another wire through the new pathway isolated from everything else and decommission

You'd be interested in Ben Krasnow's DiY attempt. It's still understandable but he tries to explain why it's built the way it is and give you a good basis of the theory of operation. https://www.youtube.com&#x

It only does that by virtue of being much less efficient and spread over a larger area than traditional desalination plants. At the end of the day unless you're storing that brine or trucking it off somewhere you have to dump it back i

That sounds like it would be a great way to eliminate the EGR system on vehicles as well if there was a way to vary the relative speed of the rotor to the crankshaft.

There's a couple things to note about the Fukushima disaster. They planned for a tsunami, but at the time the plant was built IIRC the scientific consensus was that a tsunami was caused by a large landslide underwater. They surveyed th

This sounds almost too good to be true. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't even see a straightforward path for a virus to develop resistance against this. It would have to radically change the structure of its capsid and the
