Sending data with a radio is always much more power intensive than receiving data unless the channel is extremely asymmetric in bandwidth and/or data rate.

But concrete is measured by volume at least in the US (cubic yards…sigh). I think this is because different mix designs can change the resulting weight. I’ve even heard of adding air to make for better pumping.

100% this. Tokyo seems impossibly clean compared to NYC but Shirahama has a grunginess that feels almost like the rust belt of America.

Can you link me to this fraud you are referencing? I haven’t seen any reports of that.

When I was unemployed in Boulder during the last recession, I wasn’t homeless but spent a lot of time in the library applying for jobs and browsing the internet around homeless people. I think volunteering helps people have a sense of commu

Using Hall-effect sensors to measure current isn’t that common when currents are in the uA to mA range. I’ve also never seen them used even for Amp range measurements when the application is purely on-board power supply meaurement.

Asparagus is out of season. The price will half that in 6-8 months. I have seen it for close to $0.99/lb but only for like one week a year.

The basic gist is that more insurance companies = more overhead so total cost of healthcare is higher. The ideal number of insurance pools is one.

This is a great question. In a class literally called “Economics 101” I took 20 years ago, we proved that the most efficient number of insurance providers is 1, implying that the government should provide this insurance.

Most students go into debt to attend college. I fell into a bracket where I didn’t get any financial assistance but my parents didn’t want to/couldn’t pay for tuition. I got personal loans for everything. I think this is a common scena

I don’t think high school math is on the Democratic party platform in California. In any case, no one was advocating cutting out Algebra. The debate was about moving Algebra I from middle school to High School and removing Calculus from Hig

Can you give an example of these high-quality supplements? Otherwise folks just have to take you at your word that they exist.

Can you elaborate? What was the offer? They won a judgement over $1B. Also, I don’t think their agenda is political, it is personal.

Thin-film transistor circuits can probably approach more of what you are envisioning than silicon integrated circuits. There are even organic semiconductor versions of TFTs that use lower temperatures and liquid chemistry for layer depositi

Can you cite a source on that? That doesn’t match my understanding of the events.

What you describe might be out of date. Someone tried to use my identity to file a fake tax return. The IRS caught it and now I get issued a PIN every tax season for kinda-sorta two factor auth.

I don’t know much about how the CCP operates, but China is not a democracy. They don’t have elections in China. San Francisco has elections with numerous candidates.

Why does the party matter when SF gov has many disparate factions with different agendas? They don’t operate like a single party.

So does corn. In fact much of the wood used in construction in the US is grown like corn in a cornfield.

Pluralizing code always sounded weird to me, but I think it was more common in certain regions and timeframes. Code as a verb seems pretty common though.

I got mine from a diving (snorkeling/free diving) accident. Barotrauma damaged my cochlea. I think Covid played a factor too. I was severely congested recovering from Covid at the time.

Heat pumps make lots of sense in California. It gets hot enough to want air conditioning and still gets cold enough to need heat in much of California. California has many types of climates. Even in the desert areas like near Joshua Tree, y

Diesel-electric trains have no battery, though. The Chevy Volt hybrid was pretty close in that the gas engine acted only as a generator to charge the batteries and could supply enough power for the motors in case the batteries died. I’m not
