So you can then watch the shooting in nice graphic details, right? Or do you want cameras integrated with remote-controlled machine guns?

This is not for citizenship, but for the permanent residency ("green card"). And yes, 6 months is a dream for most applicants. I had to wait 2 years for my uncomplicated GC case.

No country in the world has 100% solar+wind power supply. Even tiny island countries have to use expensive diesel to supply guaranteed power. And once you have diesel generators, it turns out that batteries are more expensive than just buyi

My phone runs GrapheneOS and does not use any Google service. But it supports Android Auto. Allowing it would dramatically improve the experience. Instead, Rivian adds a purely performative toggle that makes the car's navigation largel

How about also adding Android Auto as well? Oh no, it'd take away their "control the user experience" power-tripping.

DACs are terrible, they are unwieldy and are always either too short or too long. Fiber is much better, but in my case the house already had Cat5 Ethernet wiring (originally used just for phones!) everywhere. Another use case for 10G Ethern

The Mikrotik switch is awesome, and it's still the most compact 10G switch available. You can fix the thermal issue either by adding a small fan (Noctua is great) or by adding more radiators: https://pics.ealex.net/shar

The upcoming solid-state batteries are around 500 Wh/kg. But batteries have an advantage over turbines, especially small turbines: specific _power_ density.

It's not a new idea, and it's a challenging one to investigate. Without real numbers (that are infinitely long) most of the calculus stops working. And everything that depends on it. Perhaps we can recover some of it by treating t

To be fair, Vec::set_len bug in Rust was in 2021. And even then it had to be annotated as `unsafe`. It was then deprecated and a linter check was added: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/7681

The reason is that classical grids are mostly self-correcting. Rotating inertia can stabilize frequency and can produce or absorb reactive power. "Reactive power" sounds fancy, but it just means that motors can create a drag. The

I think the tyre problem is not really a thing. EVs use synchronized motors and traction control to avoid extra wear due to uneven torque during normal driving.

My computer had 16Mb in 1997, and it was lower-range but not the absolute bottom. It looks like Anandtech listed 128Mb for $300 (not inflation adjusted) in 1997. It fell to $150 in 1998 and by 1999 you could buy it for $100. So 512Mb RAM by

Yeah, hardware companies got hit hard. But dotcom also coincided with the de-industrialization era, with manufacturing moving out of the US, with a double whammy of commodization. So it's hard to disentangle the causes. And then I can&

I guess Netscape counts. Palm produced devices, so it was not really picks&shovels. Who else? Borland quietly withered away, but it had never been focused on tools specifically for the Internet.

Cisco is doing great. Sun got acquired by Oracle. Oracle itself is also fine (apart from it is Oracle). Akamai is doing fine. From the pure software side, Macromedia got acquired. RedHat was doing fine before IBM gobbled it up. But I honest

Eh. Just start removing bike lanes. They're destroying businesses and making life worse for everyone. And yes, I have numbers. In Seattle, the business receipts from areas with bike lanes declined faster than receipts from areas nearby

mRNA is not a good example. If anything, it's a demonstration of why the Western capitalist model is superior to anything else. Most of the mRNA research was funded by venture capital as a high-risk high-reward investment. In the world

One another thing to try: set the MTU to 9000. But don't do this on your main interface, or you'll get haunted by traffic being blackholed. At home, I have separate VLANs for the 9k packets. It has a separate subnet (both V6 and V

This is a relatively new API, and the native apps that I use still don't support it properly. There are also things like middle-clicking to open things in new tabs, and being able to bookmark locations.

This is completely solved by SSH certificates. You still have the same private key in the hardware, but instead of using the public key directly, you issue temporary (~1 hour) SSH key certificates. I even automated it using an SSH proxy. Th

Sure. They can use my key while my machine is compromised, but even then I won't _need_ to rotate it after the compromise is cleared. It still would be a good idea just to make sure that it's easier to analyze logs, but it's

He used chromatography and mass spec to match the chemical composition, along with taste tests. Many people also tried this recipe and can't tell the difference in blind tests between it and various types of Coke.
