As linked in the GP, solar production as a percentage of total generation capacity China is 4.8%, just like the US.

Is that something that needs to be considered separately, since the operation factor is given in % of hours per year?

Deterrence against thieves is a pretty big benefit. Meanwhile there's massive amount of low-quality parts i have to wade through when wanting to order a replacement battery.

That's very rose colored. It was only universal if you installed a third-party client and set up each one separately, or installed a half dozen applications.

As a consumer, I am particularly unsympathetic to what what Apple is doing to developers. The developers do the same to me when they have the opportunity.

I'll totally admit wind farms make me feel fuzzy at night-- mostly because that's when they produce >50% of total power on the grid where I live.

> roads don’t make noise You're proving GP's point. Roads on their own don't make noise, but if I go outside I can hear the road noise from cars going down a IH-35 which is a mile away. (It isn't even the only road I

When a cell phone camera auto-focuses, it's still literally recording what light strikes the cmos chip. Do you think its recording some other light?

The sun will become more luminous to a point it will stop plate tectonics by evaporating the oceans far sooner (about a billion years from now) than it will take the earth's core to cool.

Why does there have to be an end goal? Why cant things just do the thing they do?

It might be, but for all of the examples in the blog post, HA does this out of the box.

Its fine as long as the amount of time it can provide rated output is longer than it time it takes to bring replacement generation capacity on line. I don't care how long my UPS will actually last as long the holdover time is long enou

Yeah and I did that 10 years ago when the math worked out differently. 'Recently' is doing some work in that comment.

I'm glad you agree with my point that Walgreens owns their merchandise not because they stop shoplifters and restrict access, its because they purchased it and have title over it, and since GP has done no such thing they don't act

Given that you haven't fixed your problem with scrapers (given the complaints you're making right in this thread.) It's obvious you're not in a position to restrict the data-- otherwise you'd not be complaining abou

And then Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 are taken down at the same time because even though they have diverse paths they're part of the same underlying DWDM system which has just encountered a fault. Ensuring there isn't a single point

These are game assets so its copyright law. Nintendo even used the DMCA to issue takedowns. Trademark defense has nothing to do with this at the moment.

Not reading the numbers on the label is an orthogonal issue. My point was gauge and maximum rated amperage are on the label.

For anything that's not just "grab a camera and shoot the movie" the format that it is shot in is absolutely taken into account. I don't think you can separate the story from how the image is captured.

They're very well marked at Home Depot. The store brand, which is general most prominent, gauge is color coded: 6AWG - Gray / 12AWG - Yellow / 14AWG - Pink / 16AWG - Orange. There's one exception to this where 14 AW

why isn't it? What prevents that?

Is it though? A vehicle can't use a gravity-assist slingshot around the Sun to maneuver inside the solar system because the sun is at rest with respect to the rest of the solar system.
