That sounds a lot like the ELF radio system they used, which basically was used to order submarines to surface (or near enough) to receive new orders as the bandwidth was <1 baud. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extr

There is a emission’s control law that is effectively banning any truck older than a 10 years from entering California which would also need a temporary stay to help get the bottleneck cleared as fast as possible.

Adding an extra layer is expensive (and done in pairs). As others mentioned, when you go to manufacture your boards, you export each layer into its own file, zip them all up and then send/upload the files to your manufacturer. Either y

You can always put in a energy/heat recovery ventilator. They use the outgoing stale air to warm/cool the incoming fresh air, so it’s more efficient than leaving a window open. Downside is they need a small amount (20-60w) of powe

Its likely because bringing a smelter and wire drawing machine don’t feel “space age”. Also most people think of small bases where its not cost effective to bring a bunch of manufacturing capacity as quite a few processes don’t scale down w

Its probably more realistic to put a few satellites in orbit of the moon and beam power from them. This keeps the distances down so the transmitter and receivers can be more reasonably sized. If you also switch to laser power beaming, they

Most large real-time systems (or near enough) must be eventually consistent due to speed of light delays between all nodes of the system. Multiplayer video games have big problems with light speed. A user could be 100ms away from the server

The problem is that the military does (or at least did in the 200X's) train people how to repair and troubleshoot. They basically take the people more adapt to do that sort of work and train them how to do it. I know several people w

You can use the classic techniques such as using waxes and/or oils to add water resistance. There are downsides though in that they add more weight and require special care (eg: oiled items cannot be washed with soap without having to

You would have to develop a ECC that worked similar to homomorphic encryption, where you can do computations on the chipertext (or in this case, the ECC) without knowing the plain text. For this application, plain text would effectively be

What needs to happen is to bring ECC to all levels of a chips logic to solve this. ARM vs RISC-V vs x64 doesn't address the problem as nothing in them inherently solves the problem. Making adders that add with ECC will. If all of the l

Only smaller ones are, and they can still vent hydrogen in some cases. All sealed lead-acid batteries have shorter lifespans as you can’t add water to them to replace water lost to hydrogen gas production.

It also helps keep a slug of water from entering the air lines if employees (and management) puts off draining the accumulated water for too long. You can also get ones that are triggered by a float if the system is for 24/7 operation.
