> However, I largely kept my mouth shut because I was afraid of the social repercussions. So, social norms? There are plenty of things we collectively don't say or do because of enforced social norms yet all of a sudden when those s

Exactly, all the more reason to move on from using that language. I'm glad you get it.

The rules have always been there, but as the filing mentions, ICE said in March that the rule would be suspended for the duration of the emergency. They are now going-back on that statement which given the timing of the announcement is caus

That is not true. T-Mobile has Release 15 5G deployed in the 600 MHz band right now -- I'm looking at being broadcast over-the-air on my spectrum analyzer here in the south eastern US.

Is that not outright fraud? Just because you can hack something doesn't make it right or legal.

Don't be so disingenuous. The phrase is famous and it obviously is obviously not intent on trying to quell violence. I know to be contrarian and radically 'rational' is popular among tech types but it doesn't mean you ha

It seems like it. They've also been advertising heavily on NPR member stations and podcasts.

The new standard supports more concurrent users by using the available spectrum more efficiently. There are new modulation and timing "modes" that enable better coverage at cell edges and in dense urban environments. There is bett

Your first 3 points are all based on a complete misconception of what 5G NR is. You are talking about mmWave which is an accessory component of the 5G NR standard. Low and mid-band 5G use ~ the same bands (or n71 which is the old TV band in

You are wrong about that. See T5, T6, and H10 halts.

Saving 50% gets you 3dB. You'll need something on the order of 20dB. The inverse-square law bites hard.

No, it isn't. The literature department is a fundamental component of the university. Providing land and infrastructure for students to store their property in the middle of campus is not - especially when campus is accessible through

A spot in a multistory parking desk costs upwards of $30,000 per spot. Even if you oversell permits by 2x and assume a 50-year lifespan with no maintenance, that is still $300/yr per parking permit. Why should students who want the exc

That is a good point that you don't need a radio but I work extensively with GNU Radio and I would do all of those experiments using MATLAB / Octave. GNU Radio is very much the wrong tool for that job.

That is an incomplete summary. Their conclusion is that despite this larger than normal selection bias, the minimum wage appears to have no impact on unemployment. The paper's abstract, discussion, and summary all mention this as part

It isn't though. Thats how we talk about installed power capacity. The capacity factor is important but seperate. Nobody says we installed a 2.5 MW* wind turbine accounting for capacity factor. They say we installed a 10 MW wind turbin

by apcragg 7y ago
What is wrong with that sentence? As of 2018 there was ~98k MW of installed wind capacity [1]. Reaching 100 GW of installed capacity in 2019 make perfect sense. It seems like it's you that doesn't understand the difference between

Is there any evidence that this ever happens? Or at least happens more frequently than say, a 1979 style fossile fuel shortage?

Which newer plants? I'm still paying for the cost over-runs at Vogtle here in Georgia which is a 'modern' plant. Granted, Westinghouse went bankrupt but Wind/Solar builds don't have the same risks concentrated in a

Not to mention the capital costs of building a nuclear plant far excede renewable new-builds. Why spend 20 billion and deal with the costs/risk associated with 50-year financing when you could spend a few tens of millions and throw up

Not my area of expertise. The main study I'm aware of showing some harmful affects uses an unrealistic amount of power and curiously only showed effects for male mice. I'm hesitant to dismiss it, because effects from heating caus

Being confident enough to trash-talk based on hearsay is just being arrogant.

Not for the big telecomm's but I design parts of the radios and DSP algorithms implementing the major cellular technologies.

In short - some but not really. 5G NR allows for extremely efficient resource block allocation and can handle ~10x more concurrent users than 4G. The latency should not degrade as long as the carriers don't do weird things with traffic

You have heard wrong - it's amusing that you're so confident in its failure despite having the wrong information. There are two phases in the 5G NR standard. The first phase relies on some elements of the LTE control plane to coor

The thing is, nuclear power straight up isn't profitable to build now. 15 years ago, sure, but according to Lazard's most recent analysis, nuclear power is beaten by alternative sources with storage. The cost of financing projects
