That's not the meaning behind the word "volunteering".

>mandatory volunteer Is it volunteering if it's mandatory?

Well, many transport authorities don't care and would rather save money on electricity costs and materials (less LEDs and less powerful drivers) than actually make the road more driveable at night.

It's a lot less efficient.

The color reproduction of RGB white LEDs is terrible. You just have tree spikes in the spectrum were each LED emmits light.

Modern white LEDs are actually a blue LED behind a yellow phosphor mask that turns the light white. More power emmited in the blue side of the spectrum results in better efficiency, and the difference is significant.

The NYT article shows a 360 video and not static images (note the movement of the tree branches).

The problem seems to be not the hardware but the huge amounts of pixels that require to be captured. 360 degree cameras already capture something comparable to 4k, but it's not enough.

If your GSM network is anything like Greece's (and I don't doubt it is, grey market devices from Spain sold here work without issue), Android automatically sets up the network settings for MMS and wireless networking. You don&#x27

I think the parent meant, what can you tune in Windows itself to get the "best" performance shown in the tool? Or are those buffer sizes and counts program dependent and not something the user can change?

Hopefully some day an implementation in something other than Go will emerge. The current Go implementation is mind-numbingly slow and uses huge amounts of memory.

In Greece too. As long as you have the older prescription (basically a small form with the required information filed in) you can get new spectacles without having to visit the ophthalmologist. The prescription is not taken away In many cas

I think homegrown chips like these have many application in weapons systems. Russia wouldn't want their UAVs or missle defence systems to run with Intel CPUs or other COTS CPUs with embedded blackbox OSes for example.

In theory, properly sized and protected from motor transienst, the power electronics should last the lifetime of the car (and then some). Electric locomotives and EMUs have been using IGBTs for decades in similar arrangements with active co

In addition to the batteries, the 3-phase IGBT inverter is watercooled with the aid of a triangular waterblock (each phase corresponds to one side of the block). [1] [1] http://www.pointthepower.com/wp-content/uploads&#

I don't think it's an issue with the batteries but rather the heat on the power electronics.

But can it complete a lap around the track without going into limp mode? High-power bursts are nice and all but sustained performance is important too.

Wouldn't that equate to imprisoning someone but not providing them with food?

Is it? I mean, it's nice that it can be played "in the browser" but from a graphics fidelity perspective (and artistic direction, but that's beside the point) it's not impressive. It looks like 6-7 year old game gra

I think that it's not really "robots" (it's click-bait) but rather greater automation of new platforms and ships, e.g. more networked sensors instead of analog gauges, servo-controlled valves etc. Also possibly robotic d

One should mention their country of residence. In my case (Greece, 2005, during the golden days), if I had no money saved, my only option would be amputation instead of a titanium rod implant where my femur used to be.

Summer 2011 I was shopping for a low-price touchscreen-only device and remember all Symbian devices being terrible in many ways. This IIRC was during the last days of Symbian when Nokia was trying to adapt it to be a touch-screen interface.

My "European" point of view remembers subpar Symbian devices that were little more than dumbphones with better hardware. Their "smart" functions were mostly limited to being able to install Opera, and the rest of the sof

The state of the art when it comes to LiFePO4 cells that you can find on the market right now has 2 to 3 times lower energy density by volume and weight (depending on form-factor). Personally, I would prefer the increased energy capacity of
