You do know that Chrome has a task manager that will display memory, CPU and network usage for each tab right?

While it's always important to keep this in mind at the global scale, most Americans use "1%" colloquially to describe the top 1% of United States citizens. I suspect the downvotes are from people who assume you are intention

7 TPS is theoretical and very optimistic. So far it's best day was just over 4. These numbers will not change until the blocksize is increased, which still looks unlikely. https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transacti

I think given the prevailing network conditions of the past 6-12 months the statement that "Bitcoin is fast" needs a [citation needed] qualifier.

Curious they don't catch more coverage on this fact as it seems to directly contradict the narrative of a "super-charger". What prevents them from being able to charge all ports at full power? This seems like another notch o

So is the speculation that Stamos' departure was related to this? The timing would seem suspicious otherwise. If so, one wonders if he would take a similar principled stance a second time at Facebook. Much harder to jump ship for green

How do you slip something like this past a corporate security team? Stamos and @bcrypt never struck me as individuals that were "asleep at the wheel". Surely there was evidence somewhere? If Stamos wasn't briefed as to the si

Anecdote; I have had one of the OG intel x-25 80GB MLC SSD drives and after 5+ years of usage first as a boot drive and now as a video editing scratch disk the wear leveling firmware has done an excellent job. Intel's monitoring softwa

Hard to say exactly, but perhaps someone with large holdings in an already established crypto-currency might have motive to want Ethereum crushed, or at least be perceived with less legitimacy than whatever other coin they hold (likely BTC

If this really ends up being the case they can just slow the model 3 deliveries to a trickle-- All those pre-orders are really just an interest free loan with fungible time tables on actual delivery, and the "financing terms" only

To be fair the B-52's that fly combat missions today are nowhere near the same as what was flying 25 years ago. I suspect MIG-25's in private hands have been maintained at a flight ready level, but not significantly upgraded in th

I'm not seeing anything on page 7 that details "blind call mode" and only one mention of "blind call mode" in the document-- Do you have any further reading on this?

FWIW: I went to a "real" university (University of Minnesota) and hung-over professors / TAs in large lecture classes or their related lab sessions wasn't a surprising occurrence-- at least in the general classes that ev

I also have to suspect things like isolated, dedicated and redundant comm links with the flight termination system are part of these guidelines. Perhaps even a "dead man's switch" that terminates the flight if this separate

If a fully loaded (cryogenic fuel + oxidizer) SpaceX rocket did a belly flop into downtown Orlando I suspect this distinction would be quite meaningless to the locals!

For more context, all (edit: American!) rockets for decades have had onboard self destruct systems and a "Range Safety Officer" on the ground whose entire job is to determine if and when to deploy this self destruct system. The cr

The thermal throttling will start kicking in about the time you hit 60mph.

Multi-rotor enthusiast here-- I can confirm this statement! My 5" crafts pull up to 80 amps at full throttle and a mere 1.3ah 4 cell battery pack can generally keep up, albeit with some localized heating and voltage sag.

by Phlarp 10y ago
you need the larger pack size to deliver enough current to do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Just don't ask how it would perform in a 10 mile race ;-) spoiler alert: the software throttles the top speed down aggressively as the battery heats up,
