the new system is already spliced in, but is electrically isolated. the old system can't be isolated like that so they have to physically cut the wires to it before they electrically connect the new system, which is the switch throw at

The smart man knows all of these things exist. The wise man understands when these things matter. DWDM protected waves, MPLS, etc, are all out of scope when someone does a traceroute, finds their traffic is going to Europe asks me about it,

Electricity doesn't only take the path of least resistance, it takes all paths available in inverse proportion to their resistance (impedance really.) And since the water and sewage systems are plumbing systems and not electrical sys

If you have a point you want to make, just make it. Comments like your previous one are asking people to do work for you.

Sure I'll do it, as long as you agree to pay me $1000/hr, 2 hour minimum-- up front, to do your work for you. No refunds.

Something wrong with them getting out of the way of people who actually need to go somewhere to do their jobs? A office worker having to drive somewhere to look at a screen they can have at home, shouldn't be an impediment to a nurse t

What would you consider research Google has done that is close to the level of what Bell Labs did?

Please, name a generation technology that does not need transmission capacity to get it from where it is generated to where it is needed. Even coal plants stopped being built in the middle of cities half a century ago.

That's "America First Legal’s executive director Gene Hamilton" as is pointed out in the section you quoted. It's not the article writer, who is bringing it up in a section about how "America First Legal challenged

I'd LOVE to see Crowdstrike do this. The last time I dealt with the specifics of this sort of validation testing for security software was a decade and from what I saw in the RCA Delta can just keep pointing out that whatever they had

Do smartphones that get sold at $100 not have chips in them? Because the article is talking about semiconductor manufacturing, and the total numbers of semiconductors purchased. Profits and monopolies are a different article.

You do realize sockaddr_in is an abstraction for data structure here, yes? https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc791#page-11 Where is that new address going in the header? If it's going in the same spot in

Yeah, and heat capacity is the last thing you want for an object in a hot environment where the sun shines on it. I've seen shaded portions of my concrete slab at 36C at 1AM

by icehawk 2y ago
Heat capacity just means the AC is removing the heat coming from the stone walls, as opposed to the heat from the sun shining on it.

To put that into perspective: The AC cools the house using about 3-4kW, total. The roof on the house (assuming 29N because the article is about Houston, so between 10AM and 2PM, that's a Solar irradiance of 1kW/m^2) is receiving 1

Its not the feasibility of reading previously erased data. The much more simple issue, is that drives that have not been erased look exactly like drives that have been erased. Does the drive contain data? Who knows until you hook it up to

You're conflating the term "stopwatch" with an all mechanical device. That wasn't even true at the time period specified-- the quartz movement had been created in the 1950s and the first quartz pocket watch had been intr

I remember it being far less complicated. I just had to pick the start time, the end time, and the channel the VCR need to be on to record. If i wanted to be fancy, I could pick the tape speed as well. VCR did the rest, as long as the time
