Yeah that's exactly how higher power (compared to 40km SFP modules) communication lasers work and why nobody wears laser goggles in a data center. Automatically turning the laser off when the other side stops responding is ancient tech

That's a matter of perspective. Are you comparing to copper or to other electrically isolated power transmission tech? A typical LED is 40% efficient and a typical solar panel is ~20% efficient. A typical Qi charger is ~50% efficient.

If you provided that context, you would not have gotten such incredulous replies. Btw the US isn't special. I'm in India right now and there's a petrol station around every corner just like there's a gas station around e

Of course the AC affects range on ICE cars, but nobody cares about that because there's always a gas station around the corner or at the next exit. You are the exception. That's what all the replies are trying to tell you

Totally depends on your workload and hardware. I have a normal consumer SSD in my desktop and it can easily sustain 7GB/s (56gbps) as long as I only use 700GB of the 2TB available. A normal server has enough PCIe lanes for 15 SSDs like

Interesting, I used different numbers (10 years and 33% tax) in my comment but got the same result of 0.4% real returns. Check my math

by NavinF 3y ago
It doesn't matter when you withdraw the money, the taxes will be the same. $10k earning 5% compounded monthly will be $16,470 in 10 years. After paying 1/3 of the gains in taxes, you'll be left with $14,313 which has a presen

I assure you that this is not normal behavior. Furthermore, why would you consider paying more ($10k to $20K more!)[0] for an EV if you're trying to time the market on gas prices and worried about spending a few cents on running the A&

In practice AGPL is treated like a source-available license, not an open-source license. Most devs keep their distance from it

20gbps passive USB-c cables were often wired by hand. Machines with the required dexterity to line up the connector used to be too expensive and AFAIK some cables are still made by hand today

Tbh it would make more sense for other providers like Fastmail to provide a Gmail-compatible API since that seems to be the defacto standard. They could open source the Gmail to JMAP translation layer if they want to improve interoperabilit

With modern software like Chrome, Caddy, etc, ALPN should always be set to h3 and ESNI should always be enabled. Doesn't matter if it's a draft. I don't care about leaking my IP. Most people don't

I think it's more expected than tragic. Old protocols leaked metadata all over the place because their designers isn't know any better. Every single packet used to be tagged with each app's number making it so convenient for

Again, this is normal at just about every flying club. Taking off is as easy as pulling the stick back and it's pretty much impossible to mess up during flight because training aircraft are all naturally stable. The CFI just needs to l

Yeah, not to mention the majority of fast food workers are part time. Why would any employer want to pay one person for 7 days a week which will almost certainly trigger full time benefits
