The reason why cars get thrown away in Europe is not because some mechanical problems, but because problems related to old age of whole device such as * Rust. It will eat your car. Especially if you are salting roads. At some point you won&

Android is kind of pointless without phones it is running on, so having a code does not mean you have any use for it. Same for routers using Linux. Kind of pointless to have source code when you don't have the hardware.

Desktop Linux can not be a goldmine from its nature and its userbase. People using Linux does not want to pay for anything and first thing which they will do is to fork your code and "release it" for free because of GPL. When you

Like saying that your neighbors have no place to store their Amazon package, so you put it into your house and started using it.

Interesting. Could be used to create fake alibi too - i.e. I will use innocent browsing of social networks logged by this feature as an evidence that it was not me who got access into server which should not be accessed in that specific tim

Using nuclear weapons to win a regional conflict is turning those weapons from strategic deterrent to a tactical tool. The moment when any nation will use them in tactical way, say bye bye to non-proliferation treaty, every regional power w

Is it? West is only openly doing what USSR used to do during Vietnam and Korean wars. And West still did not send pilots on F35s to help Ukraine however USSR at that time did send pilots on Migs. So there is still way to go for the West to

Are aftermarket services (parts, service) available or are those throwaway cars? It might be looking good now, but in few years it could be a nightmare to keep the car running.

Activist judge is a wild term for pointing out that BoD are all friends and even family with Musk and thus hardly independent.

That's working with assumption that I am sitting and doing nothing else. Usually I am watching those long videos on the TV while working instead of listening to music. Then you could rephrase it as "millions of people are watching

Keep the structure and services around IP protocol (DNS, DHCP, NAT), just with more bits for address. Do not try to reinvent the wheel and add unnecessary breaking bell and whistles which nobody asked for.

If IPv6 would be created with a little bit more care for backward compatibility, it could have been years since last server stopped using IPv4. The whole IPv6 fiasco is self inflicted.

I have never updated my ethernet switches. Ever.

Sure, once. Then you can switch it off for good, because it will get damaged - the combustion chamber inside needs to be heated up or cooled down slowly, otherwise it will crack. When you are "not using" coal power plant, you stil

When you consider that Germany closed 4GW of nuclear power generation, then few MW (Don't you think MWh?) projects are magnitudes off what is necessary.

So what will happen when you get rid of "dirty sources"? It all looks good on a paper, but when your clean solar energy is not available, like during winter time, and you got rid of your dirty sources, what are you going to do? Ho

It might and world should worry what will replace it. Lot of those liberal democracies used to be empires or has reformed into large blocks which could be considered an empire. They might want to reestablish themselves.

And it is also inefficient because it is used in cars taking 4 passengers max so it can not really scale. But if a bus, a tram or a train would have a self driving... but that smells like communism to our techbros from Silicon Valley.

The idea to start with USB at the first place is ridiculous. If it can't be printed on paper it should be based on some kind of dead simple serial protocol with relatively low baudrate so almost anyone with description of that protocol

As per usual nothing about average charge/discharge cycle count which for sodium batteries is relatively low amount compared to lithium ones.

Energy can't be destroyed. That's basic physics. Work of any kind is just turning usable energy into unusable heat. If you would have such device which can take heat and turn it into usable energy, then you would just need to take

Oh what a bad faith response trying to have some moral high ground. The Dyson swarm as defined are satellites close the the Sun collecting energy, where it is dense and relaying it further nothing else. Trying to compose there something els

So ISS is now Dyson swarm satellite? Somebody should tell NASA.
116.
by TheLoafOfBread 2y ago
None of those satellites are also trying to collect as much energy on one side and beam them on the other side. Notice how those satellite closer to the Sun are wrapped into reflective and isolating materials and only antenna, solar panels

How do you get energy from there? How do you deal with waste heat of satellite which is being heated up by sun from one side and heated up by your mode of energy transfer from the other side? Unless we have some magical solution which can c

You are misunderstanding my question. I am talking about Dyson swarm satellite, not about habitat with solar panels.

by TheLoafOfBread 2y ago
Dyson swarm has some naive approaches too 1. You don't have a way how to transfer power from Dyson swarm without absurdly staggering losses. 2. Dyson swarm satellite would be heated up by incoming heat from Sun on one side and heated u

But if you want to get beyond Jupiter, then whole Dyson swarm is useless to you, because you don't have source of energy. And again when somebody will get control over such swarm, then such person has control over whole civilization ar
