Your comment is the first I'm reading about it, all the news articles I've seen have been focused on the actual issues. So...

While I agree that it's reasonable to make 18650 based packs not officially user serviceable (because of the spot welding thing and because that would open up liability to repairs gone wrong), at least they should be made so the cells

Regarding your edit: Had you written that in the first place people might have reacted much differently instead of "beating you up"... The original statement just sounds like a vaguely provocative (but maybe not, because it's

Worth mentioning that looking things up vs. learning and then knowing everything isn't a binary choice, there are degrees. Just as an example, there is a difference between knowing roughly what to google and then looking up everything

You might be entirely right for all I know, but your points don't actually support your claims... Why _would_ a city government make a profit? It's a government after all, not a business. Comparing Puerto Rico with a city with mul

If that's the case, why do they even need the drive to be decrypted? All they'd have to prove is that the drive was not owned by anyone other than the accused and could then say that there was CP saved onto this drive by the guy.

Crops are also not perfectly efficient, but it's simply replacing two chained instances of inefficiencies with one. Instead of Crops -> Animal feed -> Cattle -> Meat -> Eat you have Crops -> some processing -> Eat

The cattle need to be fed too, and they don't turn their food into meat very efficiently. That's why replacing meat with plant based alternatives is (almost) always a huge gain in efficiency, in terms of resource use.

Views on a Let's play are not equal to lost sales. Most of those people wouldn't have been exposed to the game in the first place and plenty of viewers go on to buy the game after watching a let's play anyways, even for linea

>Aren't those the same? Not really. If you take some of the transients out of recorded drums they will sound lifeless, without "energy", but not necessarily quieter.

Start-Stop in cars does save a considerable amount, which is a fact that can easily be verified, so you pretty much disqualified yourself there with "for zero fuel actually saved"... The additional wear is not on the engine itself

The other side of this is that the GDPR puts all those companies from jurisdictions with no privacy regulations to speak of in front of a choice to either stop doing business with a huge market or actually stop ignoring privacy concerns. Th

Ultimately, what the client sends to the server to get a successful authentication _is_ effectively the password (whether that's reflected in the UI or not). So if you hash the password on the client side but not on the server, it&#x27

As far as I know, many lead free solders produce more toxic smoke than leaded solder because they contain different types of flux. When soldering the leaded stuff, the lead in it doesn't get evaporated anyways. The smoke produced durin

I use a Weller W61C (80-90€), which is a soldering iron (not station) that regulates its temparature using magnetic tips. Bit of an oddball, but it works fine even for soldering most SMD stuff, and it's just delightfully simple. Just p

Yes, that is correct. In theory, a single incorrect unsafe block can have effects on every other part of the program. Of course the idea is that you limit the unsafe stuff to small areas of the code so you can really think through those par

Not permitting ads from the user's end doesn't even influence the ranking and likelihood of showing up in recommendations (as far as we know). It's just demonetization from Youtube's side that has that effect.

by cerebellum42 9y ago
If your video gets demonetized no (or much fewer) ads get shown. If ads are shown, revenue is shared between Youtube and the creator.

Re. 2: Most of the aid funds are actually transferred in the form of subsidies to deals with companies from the "giving" country. For example, India is massively expanding its solar energy capacities. This is happening partly as a

Interesting, but hardly an adequate/relevant comparison since there are probably a million custom solutions involved, especially in the interconnect/IO parts.

Pretty much the same situation in Germany. That paper really only applies to the US, in Europe the whole shopping culture is so different it's hardly comparable. Starting with the fact that Europe is much less car focused, which leads

I thought that sentence sounded very trump-ish. The feature was so great that npmjs couldn't keep up with it, it was yuuuuuge!

I don't think anyone was arguing the data that the final evaluation is based on should not be open. The point is that the intermediate drafts of the evaluation itself do not need to be public and it's fair to deliberately keep the

The attack angles are slightly different but it's not really any safer. The classic scenario is to call the provider to say the SIM card was "stolen" and either have them send the new SIM card to an address you control, or if

I did forget one thing that still falls under free speech (even legally probably), aside from the state not stopping you from expressing your opinion, it should protect your ability to do so. As in, not allowing anyone to silence you, but e
