To be fair, they are an outlier, so not really normal in that sense.

Modems (LTE modules) often have GPS and that's where it's handled in almost all phones. AFAICT, the LTE switch disables GPS.

AFAIK, a SIM card itself has a card id (ICCID), which should not be changed and is not used often. The subscriber id (IMSI) is in the "application" layer of the card and theoretically could be changed by the provider, or as a spec

Have you been in a place where lots of people ride bikes? A small car world would be 100% -> 60% resource reduction. At reasonable scale, bikes are at least a 100% -> 10% reduction in all mentioned 'externalities' or should

YMMV, but yes, with full supplies it usually takes about 3 days to deplete sugars and switch to fat. If you're not used to keto, switching may be physiologically hard. Gradually transitioning from carbs to fat, and then or later to fas

The ToS might as well force people to promise away their firstborn and people would still upload photos. Platforms have ToS that are non-negotiable and almost nobody reads them. The plaform knows this and that users upload photos without pr

Technically yes, they could shift spending like that, but it would look bad enough, I think at least some would help where you want. Either way, asking for them not to shift funding as appropriate would be asking to control other finances n

Most compression algorithms have a limited data reference window (dictionary size) - tens to hundreds of MB being typical upper limits. If duplicated data is further apart, it gets compressed again. If the data isn't pre-compressed, or

Some of us have notes, that we can mostly copy-paste to setup a server and it works well without magic and n·m·k images. Last time I checked, docker swarm was accepting connections from anywhere (publish really publishes) and messing with t

Note the important cleverness - the delay is set by compiler, so the delay is only as big as it's useful and no need to change ISA. Architectures with ISA-specified delay has significant issues as you mention.

I guess I'm lucky I'm in Europe, where the majority of sites do not use recaptcha (I think it's illegal under GDPR). A minority of sites I use try to load it, but don't care if it fails, and only a few irritating sites I

AFAIK most crimes in most "western"-like countries have a statute of limitations, after which you cannot be charged - say 5 / 10 years for light stuff, then 20 / 30 / maybe forever for more serious stuff, homicide a

Many plants have seeds with ample sugars, fats, and/or protein, yet no nutritious or enticing exterior. Is the preferred evolutionary strategy falling to the ground and poisoning anything that dares to eat you? Obviously spreading does

Standard warranty is 80% capacity after 25 years. At that rate you would have 50% capacity after 75 years. Solar cells should last a long time. The panel itself will probably fail sooner - especially cheap ones made from plastic.

I'd guess intoleration of Neu5Gc only came in later generations. Article says there were intense adjustments to the immune system after dropping Neu5Gc.

AFAIK, aluminium smelters would have significant issues if their pots overly cooled. OTOH, their massive energy consumption can be significantly modulated which is often used for grid load stabilization.

That's what we get for externalizing costs. It's not hard to track down sources, but network operators usually let it be, hence the incentives are probably counter-productive.

It really is nice when you can afford to have the latest doubling of memory, and do things you couldn't do easily before. Maybe run an entire DC on your computer. Works very well while you're on the upper end. However, that does n

A file format can be notably more or less resilient to bit errors. It can be the difference between getting a slightly different output, a garbled one or an oops, sorry. BTW compression efficiency is orthogonal not opposite of structured re

When designing a combining scheme, how do you avoid a last outcome wins situation? If you get to choose or influence any of the inputs and (for the most part) know the others, you can influence the result. I.e. choose from a set of outcomes

I was merely pointing out that CSP efficiency likely doesn't increase with increasing ambient temperature, it's just inherently more tolerant. As an aside, your calculations are improper, even though results are close enough. 0℃ i

While it could be vibration, it doesn't seem very likely you could see the vibration and motion-estimate it backwards. I seem to recall a similar confusion a couple of times. It's more likely just a bad coverup and/or a times

I think RSA and DH call for exponentiation (modulo prime), not just multiplication. So multiply by 1024 and some significant efficiency derating as per sibling comment, and you should get close to 20ms.
