I recall paid BBB propaganda being allowed into some schools. Essentially the BBB donates to high school business classes and in return the educators explain it to students but without criticism.

We don't even reap the benefits of autocratic decisions from Microsoft in this area. Boards always come out with things like messed up ACPI, etc.

For most this would mean only specially treating a subset of all the sensitive data they have.

The last word contains checksum bits but not all of the bits it represents are checksum bits. It just so happens to be possible for all of them to be the same word here. In this case it can be bacon (139th word) or one of the following: cup

To me it's really the principle of having lots of ridiculous rules that amount to a pile of little inconveniences all over every facet of modern life. It's not a logical reason to have a problem with it, but I would prefer to see

I think being able to buy a lot of medicine just in case is an amazing feature that makes me less dependent on the supply chain.

If a patch is needed for libpng to get around the issue, maybe Krita should vendor libpng for usability. It's not unreasonable for people to want to create gigantic files like this.

Lights for high speed cameras use really good filtering on their PWM switching, or just linear power supplies. It would be nice to have a premium bulb that has longer life and much less flickering.

Fans for HVAC often come in a voltage or current controlled mode which can be wired up to a knob. Much nicer to deal with than these remotes.

Wouldn't it be funny to probe peripherals to decide if extra power is demanded or not, then request it all inside UEFI

I wonder if SAT solvers could prove the maximum "reach" of inputs into the state...

How do you handle hidden information, or "need to know"/"potentially visible set" style revelations to player clients?

Power factor, but most power supplies have a good amount of power factor correction on them now, and datacenters can have PFC as an independent system and/or inside some types/modes of UPSes. Oddly enough the capacitive power fact

There is often a demand flux surcharge as well. Not just demand but delta in demand over some time period.

I've had the issue where filling out form fields for some company website triggers a WAF and then nobody in the company is able to connect me to the responsible party who can fix the WAF rules. So I'm just stuck.

I have a big 21 volt power supply hooked up to the empty shell of one of these batteries, with a resistor divider supplying 3.3v to trigger the tools to accept power. It works.

The staggered quadrature sampling trick also comes up in the Crank-Nicholson method for solving e.g. the Schrodinger equation, optics etc.

Exactly. For example the weight of a battery matters very little if used in a stationary application such as a BESS/UPS. But it's very important for transportation e.g. traction power

Is DTLS a workaround for the session issue? Haven't had much experience with it myself but it does cut down some of the statefulness.

You can add too much liquor and it will still freeze nicely. Spiced rum was pretty good.

I can confirm that this works and is delicious.

If I recall correctly, there might be benzene remaining in the alcohol from the water removal process.

The water isn't being used for its enthalpy of vaporization, so there's a huge difference between that and using water to transport heat in a closed loop. It's pedantic to worry about the amount of water in the closed loop si

In practice, it doesn't always seem to be compatible with older devices.

It's possible to use "dry cooling" for a nuclear reactor. [1][2] The thermodynamic efficiency would be much lower, but it is possible to use alternative thermodynamic cycles/methods, for example reactors sent into space
