Doesn’t it improve efficiency? Squeezing electrons through a string of exhausted batteries require current over a longer time and therefore more losses.

I guess any fast charge pack has this, cars in particular. Pushing large currents thru strings of high impedance empty batteries must be dangerous and energy inefficient, while switching them to parallel configuration would make a world of

True. But while I don't disagree that Police is often as culpable as the ruling class, I'm weary of these methods. You don't doxx police officers and paste their IDs online. The chance you're taking, the certainty indeed

Nope, it does happen exactly like you described. The repression of Genova G8 by the Italian riot police and the Carabinieri was an example of "lovin' it". Some of the participants in the brutalities called it a "mexican

Oh yes... I remember the aftermath of getting emergency surgery for an appendicectomy: after breezing through a major Calculus exam before that, I struggled for months waiting for the cloud of confusion and forgetfulness to lift. And to thi

Not sure how this reputation system solves the e2e encryption backdoor problem, but I would definitely adopt a WOT-like reputation system for SSL certificates. The bundled-CA system is IB shambles and if it’s still standing, it’s only becau

Sure, until you parachute into a code base where several generations of contractors added features that communicate over a shared global object. This is bad per-se, but becomes worse when your language allows one to add fields on the fly an

Bravo, that’s more or less the TL;DR of all BSD, GPL/Apache endless flame. I love how these reckonings and syntheses are coming.

Not to defend China, but the restitution of HK was agreed since long ago. And it would be naive to believe China wouldn’t have started to annex the city back, the last symbol of British colonial domination and the defeat of the Opium War. O

Except HIV isn't airborne, doesn't choke you to death within a couple weeks and the other 'cold' and 'flus' aren't nearly as deadly. Cov2 is both everywhere and lethal, that's quite a difference in ki

We're not used to sharing space with hungry wolves or big felines, in fact humans tend to exterminate them when they move into a new environment. There's a new predator out there, invading our space and we're its lunch. there

I guess serveless isn't any faster to debug than restarting a Tomcat locally once you factor in the cloud deployment dance and network latency. In fact, it's Websphere all over again...

I can’t even decide where to start picking apart these arguments... it’s mostly just a “the skies are falling” fear-trip occurring whenever some significantly new status quo emerges. Sure, literacy made people less willing to spend their li

Well, Natural Selection doesn’t necessarily mean that only advantageous genes survive the Darwinian hustle, it can also mean that in the absence of negative external pressure also neutral variations are not systematically culled. It’s like

That’s true, and I’m all for mandatory identification badges when doing crowd control, but you have to realize the context in which the identity is revealed: in a democratic country it’s meant as a mechanism to correct violent (hopefully) o

They might argue it’s up to the incumbent to protect its brand, crushing the competition and holding the market under a tight stranglehold. Like the Romans: Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant. Oh, wait... ;)

No. Imagine a pro-Trump alt-right group identifying participants to BLM marches and sharing their names and addresses with their gun-toting mouth-frothing associated. Would you be surprised if it devolved into threats, intimidations and peo

Hold on... it’s not quite as clear-cut as the Apple-haters that joyously jumped in put it. These channels are not about a platform for freedom of speech and rallying for peaceful demonstrations. Nope. It’s about exposing PII of public offic

Methadone is even more dangerous than the real stuff: just withdraw syndrome can be fatal.

Yup, I’m in the same boat. I must have reduced my coffee intake from several bad cups from an automatic vending machine to only 1.5 moka (6 cups each) per day. Still quite a lot of coffee, but it tastes much better.

Yeah, but that’s how the 80%-rule of “good enough” entrenches the bigger actors, ejecting the otherwise perfectly fine alternatives. It’s the power law that makes the rich richer (and turning everything in a mess of managment-driven kludges

So now it's just a matter of Oracle buying EDB? Does EDB have a poison pill clause and/or are the contracts of the core team free from non-competes and non-disclosures?

The MOSE consists of 3 separate installations for 3 different harbor mouths, so in principle it wouldn't have been that much different from the Dutch scenario.

it's probably broken hinges and a floating steel caisson. Or the same caisson stuck halfway out of its silted-up resting plate. Or the same caisson unable to erect because the caissons themselves are covered in silt... duh
