Around here people don't buy it because some people successfully campaigned to get the stuff banned. That's all there is to it. They're pretending that it's good for the kids and prey on the uninformed or those who can&#

Uh, yeah, this is all horrible. Even when founding a company makes sense, it's sometimes difficult to justify - e.g. when we were buying a house I was looking at bigger buildings with multiple units, so having a estate holding company

From the article: [...] the town is considering installing a steel beam in front of the bridge to force trucks that are too tall to a full stop. That sounds a lot like the operating principle of the famous Can Opener :) (btw, our cat

User Hakkin made an interesting observation: The "consumers" are likely sock puppets controlled by the attacker. I did not independently verify the claim, but it seems reasonable to me. Post with Hakkin's reply: https:/

Nope. That's all I'm going to spoiler;-) @Potro: If you liked the movie, read the books. I don't read a lot anymore, but during sick leave I started with the first book. Didn't stop until I finished the main story, inclu

Absolutely. 116851 long tons deadweight, which the Google info box says includes everything (busy now, so can't check in detail). That's 120,000,000 kg, so a little bit less than I guessed. Now looking at 10km/h or 6.2mi&#x2F

You could try to avoid collisions with barriers, or make the bridge fail differently (only a few spans), or make it tolerant to a single support failing. But you need a pretty beefy steel beam to survive a direct hit by... Uh... 200,000t(??

Take a look at "evcc". Careful: It's MIT licensed open source, but a a set of interfaces (to inverters, wall boxes, car APIs or smart meters) need to be unlocked with a sponsorship token; or patching the license check. ->

The PR does not mention plaster work; I suppose the company is focused on the... errr... "shell construction"? Once plaster is added, I'd wager it's much the same as for any other house.

I was also surprised not to see a flying probe system - I would expect this to be viable with modern 3D printer motion & control systems, but obviously this is highly non-trivial and has lots of mean details in the mechanical, electroni

My UPS is my hybrid inverter. It offers at least 1kWh of usable capacity (after losses), more of the sun is up or the battery is charged above 20%. Of course there is no native signaling on grid loss, but in practice that's not an issu

It's a matter of the ABI, and most importantly the calling conventions. Plus, depending on the architecture, you'll not be able to use some of the builtin push/pop/call/return-like instructions anymore. This can be

Absolutely. Try retrofitting this into a multi unit home and "just run a digital data cable up there". With some bad luck, this can easily cost as much as the whole unit. I don't like getting everything on WiFi, too. OTOH I h
