Movement shifts spectrum so theoretically it may require bigger guard bands and slightly different paperwork. OTOH, I doubt SpaceX allocated spectrum is tied to a any particular location (as opposed to say - within country bounds), consider

I'm not sure the math checks out. Whether you go directly solar or via LEDs, you still have photosynthesis, so you're imposing a large additional inefficiency and huge material expenditures. Still, there are many other factors - y

Theoretically, wasm shouldn't have more access, though I would be moderately concerned about bugs, and better access for timing and rowhammer. Practically, it's mostly used for tracking and making users' machines execute even

> They want to force Apple to sell parts even if they don't want to, and I am against that. What's wrong with manufacturers being forced to sell parts? IMO, once once a manufacturer is selling more than small batches, then yes,

Concur. I block wasm and webgl, mostly for security and privacy, so don't use sites that require it. Unfortunately, as I also block trackers, most site operators won't even realize people like me visit their sites.

Be careful with the lifetime of data on SSDs (though not the drive itself unless it SW bricks itself), if you don't have it powered and/or you don't give it a chance to read and rewrite data. Especially at elevated temperatur

Problem with this arrangement was evident in Australia, where the utilities were incentivized to arrange shortages and blackouts so they can get the sweet high tariffs.

While I appreciate the free trade view, could you point to the part where they say setting the price high helped in a considerable way? ERCOT has authority to load-shed, regardless of price. From the article: > For the entirety of 2020,

I'm not sure how/why one would demand stair-stepping descend - it seems silly. Good thing they've changed the rules. In Europe, I think I've only experienced the smooth approach.

I think it's against against dependence. You can choose who you buy your diesel from, and you store a however big tank of diesel you deem appropriate. In stark contrast to a powerline.

Probably, but a random stalker can't, and your local ISP / network snooper can't tell who you talking to either. OTOH, many email providers do include the sender's IP, so it doesn't seem like a deal-breaker.

Going by specifications the steel fill fraction is 0.22% for P and 0.09% for Q, which are meant for Insulated exterior (structural/non-structural) wall. The numbers work out, even for a moderately more conductive steel. I wonder if the

Normally, the pid and fd could be reused, so you should either make it a known unique path and verify it's still the same, lock the pid via some means (not sure if and how it's possible), or use another technique.
