Nowhere with even just an "improved" road (i.e., gravel road, not "only" a path cleared of tall vegetation) is too low density for fiber. Unless local conditions make you want to use aerial cable, you'll just cable

Sounds like a notice that disclosure could result in outcomes that make the discloser liable of (the crime? of) interfering-with-an-investigation. And thus to avoid that risk, to think twice before disclosing. Disclosure would only be punis

I'd not be surprised if that's exactly why those boxes always come with a keyhole that the renter has the only key for; the official process for "lost my keys" is paying the lock drilling and replacing fee stipulated in

For comparison, I calculated the J/(kg m) for both the Emma Maersk (at the numbers I could find in the Germany Wikipedia article; they seem to be for higher power levels with less efficient hydrodynamics) and a generic battery electric

Many freighters have space for the 12 passengers they're allowed to carry before they get reclassified to passenger ship with all the post-Titanic SOLAS requirements those incur. The first 12 however are easy, they self-select to be lo

As always capped at 12 passengers by SOLAS: the convention classifies every merchant ship with more than 12 passengers as a passenger ship not merely a cargo ship; AFAIK the worst (to profitability) effect is that the ship suddenly needs to

That in itself is an umbrella. There's 3~5 variants that require separate radios or at least separate frontends to work probably. Notably these days are the ZigBee PHY and the FiRa PHY.

Yet a reinforced concrete wall of e.g. triangular section and anchored with "long enough" piles would be about the only not-that-expensive way to turn a short strip of "airport land" past the EMAS into a V1 stopping supe

Wow US prices are high. Putting solar on an existing brick/concrete wall (as essentially cladding) costs about 20ct/W here in Germany; bifacial fence rows should be slightly higher; a mini excavator should be pretty quick at sinki

..... They are block devices. Those allow resizing. They can be used with, for example, the listed file systems. No one claimed the listed file systems would (usefully) cooperate with (all aspects of) the block device's resizing.

In the lower 48 you'd just size the solar to handle winter and find a way to use summer electricity, like electro winning metal from ore or running low-capex high-power chemical synthesis steps like making ammonia without natural gas.

Net metering is unrealistic. Maybe just force grid-connected solar installations that want credit (any size) and even those that just want to be grid-tied (beyond some small size like maybe 5 panels/2kW worth of MPPT) to use a register

They take in ambient air and release 100% humidity warmer air, basically a giant server-heated humidifier. You could spend more electricity if needed to up the airflow to get the same cooling power without humidifying.

For all of your context/reference, if you buy whole pallets from a central European port warehouse, glass-glass modules run around $0.11/Wp plus shipping. Unless you're just bolting them to the floor or to an uninsulated wall

Their word for (part time) job (as opposed to career position) is literally the German word for "work": arbeit. Of course transliterated with some minor phonetic loss, but that's expected.

If you can map all VRAM into host linear/physical address space, you can just use write combining page table entries to it and get efficient buffered write back caching for the CPU writes that created the very bytes you think of DMA-in
