They jumped through some pretty giant hoops to make their play services "drop in" replacement, but idk if that's just for fire tablets or if it gets installed on Android too.

The heavy crude processing is a maintenance cost sink. Reverting to processing local oil is both cheaper equipment wise (removing the heavy crude vessels and selling them) and cheaper bc you don't pay to pipe oil with the viscosity of

Which was debunked as being the same map you see everywhere else making bs claims about the south. The clusters are poor and poor health, but have no statistical significance to pollution levels.

Someone doesn't know what turnaround means. Every refinery shuts down at least twice a year for a multi-week turnaround. The minimum cost to stay operating isn't paying to keep the high cost vessels running, but to remove and sell

Ok but 1) both are critical and 2) if it's been snowing and there's 33kt gusts idk how the runway stays snow/ice/moisture free.

ATC calls out gusts at 33kts on his clearance call. Not excellent, especially if it's cross.

That doesn't mean that they need to be, long term. When the turnaround comes to replace some of those oversized heavy-processing vessels, the preference (in an deregulated market) would be not to replace them. If epa and other regs th

GPS was the more generic term until US Navstar-GPS became such the default that it aquired the generic term. And eventually dropped the Navstar, officially. Sort of a reverse Xerox/Google/Velcro situation.

GPS was originally NAVSTAR or Navstar-GPS (names helped, going back to when LORAN was state of the art and other competing dod navigation systems were being developed, like the Navy's TRANSIT sats). But lots of old school pros like sur

Yea it should cost more to break the contract than to honor it.

Rtk already is 'relative' error- it requires one or more base stations (with either known absolute location or assumed one for relative positioning). But survey grade gnss is a web of rabbit holes, if you want to get into it. And

That, but more to the point, the value of the term is based on the strong history of regulation and common use, which SWEs as an industry have taken advantage of and diminished. Which, I get that not everyone agrees on licensing law and phi

Because 1) it's standardized beyond local / state political footprint, and 2) it's measuring basic availability of resources like water, electricity, natural gas, but also availability of food items like eggs, meat, bread. P

I'm sorry you never got the chance to live in a high-trust area. A lot harder to find one now.

The problem isn't that we need better locks, but that we need locks at all. Within my lifetime we've gone from leaving the backdoor unlocked at night and leaving the car keys on the seat (or in the ignition) from being the normal

Because you set a min life, but statistics aside, the design for that minimum life isn't usually something that can be tweaked on a continuous scale, but ends up being binned by design constraints. Eg, you need an industrial road with

Yea- same point though. Bad IP advice / strategy. Don't condone confusing ip policy if you don't want to end up with confusing product names, especially in a resurgence of 'the domain name is the product' of unlimit

The whole standard for trademark law is whether it causes confusion in commerce. Sounds like they might have a not-great ip lawyer. Your don't have to claim WP to claim it's being marketed as an abbreviation for your trademark, wi

I mean you're right in general- but we're talking about a subset of customers that want to mess with their own fiber connection. That's either a horde that understands the issue, or is an even smaller subset that is going to

Yea sorry everything was coming up zero because they didn't submit supplemental data, so all filters based on that data (including age and other demographics) come back as zero. Which is not the way 'nodata' should be returne

Anyone doubting this needs to go lookup how many murders New Orleans reported to the fbi for the year 2023, published today: 0. Hint: they had more than 0 murders in 2023.

That's similar to the one I've seen. It uses some averages and rates to backfill totals, but isn't just pop x flow. It has a coefficient for 'waste mismanagement' which seems to dominate the eqn of how much ends up

That's a voluntary program that most large cities have declined to participate in since 2020. And the 'standardized' form has been messed with so much that increase or decrease for any particular line item is meaningless. Per

Lots of people missing the point- not abusing and keeping an tool maintained is easy when the market is enthusiastic about said tool. Which is essentially what most of the cargo bicycle market is right now. Pushing it to a wider audience an

Yea the graphic/map with source of plastic pollution per river delta is pretty eye opening. Which I suspect is why it's not better known or distributed.

BPA might have its negatives, but it at least locked itself and all the other chemicals into the product. Making it into a boogeyman has ironically caused the remaining chemicals to be more leechable, as the substituted hardeners don't

Yea, plastic in a landfill is basically the perfect form for 'carbon capture'. For those that think that carbon needs capture. But acting like plastic isn't 100% bad goes against the narrative, and happens to align with those
