Wireless is inherently easier to accidentally get disrupted. When wired internet fails, it is rarely the wire. More importantly, if it is the wire that is easy to check and fix. With wireless internet, disruption can be caused by many thing

I venture to say that in my social circle, over 50% of people own wireless noise canceling headphones. Yet many of the same people demand wired internet. Hence I don't believe wireless internet and headphones are comparable.

I could imagine some place like new york, where everyone rents and you are dependent on landlords for your internet contract as well as your actual ethernet connection, 5g for home network could work.

The point of 5g for iot is a special mode with very low battery usage, and a way to connect without needing a SIM card or something similar. There's value there, but not for consumers. It's large land monitoring where this gets va

I would expect that to work great for a F1 race.

The article states that all known versions of these 'paradoxes' arise from the axiom of choice. But I believe it isn't known yet whether denying the axiom of choice categorically prevents these paradoxes and allows 'perf

The USA would lose in Taiwan, or would lose a greater war. The first seems reasonable enough given the proximity to China and Chinese hypersonic missles. The second seems rather fuzzy.

What is the range on hypersonic missles? Perhaps the defense is avoiding detection and keeping a standoff distance until you want to strike?

by rocqua 4y ago
The us has poored too much of it's legitimacy into defending Taiwan to just say 'fabs gone, you are on your own'. Deterrence requires a response if lines are crossed otherwise future deterrence is much less effective. When t

It is, and thermal paste manufacturers need to balance performance against thermal cycling effects.

It seems like the range downside due to diffraction and atmospheric dispersion of most lasers rules them out way before ablative armor becomes relevant. I could imagine close-in missle defense being some kind of exception, but if you can on

Besides, I have heard many people doubt the volume numbers published by binance. Either claiming binance inflates the numbers, or binance allows wash trading which inflates the numbers.

It is just speculation that the threat of jail-time is pushing out coinbade right? It might just as well be that regulation (or other factors) are making operations unprofitable as far as I can tell.

It feels to me like these people are bored. They want intellectual/academic challenge and jump at any opportunity for that challenge. Next to the other main suggestions, perhaps these people need some sort of outlet where they can scra

The general counter-point is, why would you want someone who doesn't understand the work done by the company to run that company. Besides that, the polarization between management and 'the work floor' naturally leads the work

Reportedly at Boeing the culture at the executive level remains 'bean-counter focussed'. Does the opposite hold for Delta Airlines? It seems to me like the disposition of the CEO matters a lot more than their formal background. If

The strategy is about optimizing admissions rather than success. Probably because the fear of "not getting passed this important checkpoint" is baked into school. That teaches to optimize for the checkpoints. And people can really

I feel like making your own circuits that could do this would be a more feasible approach. Or at least a circuit that uses small purpose build ICs that are easy to verify.

I believe I replied to a wrong interpretation of your comment. I thought your point was the people who only think about it are just as bad as people who act. Instead, uppon rereading, I think your point was that "they can't help i

Constructed counter-examples tend to be exaggerated to bring out the inherent contradiction.

That is arguing semantics. The point was about the difference between urges and actions.

The massive amount of government money that has been earned from natural gas in the Netherlands also surely plays a role.

The limit is 100kph during the day, and 130kph at night. The reason isn't so much emissions as it is a royal fuckup on all sides around nitrogen compounds and biodiversity. There are also a few cities where speed limits drop below a 10

Would a serial killer be just as horrible for fantasizing about murders without ever murdering, or helping others murder? Of course not. That doesn't mean they are harmless either. But stigmatizing thoughts to the point where you can&#

The problem I brought up in the grandparent post wasn't (meant to be) about a 1-to-1 mapping. It was about asking "who owns this key". Web of trust sounds nice, but it hasn't caught on. I would say because it has trouble

One of the biggest problems in actually using cryptography in the real world is matching keys to identities. Using cryptography to solve the fake persona problem only works if the key-identity matching problem is solved. It would be great i

In America, you are presumably correct, though it is somewhat of a false dichotomy. In less car based countries like my home country the Netherlands, there isn't as much room for 'less cars' (though still plenty, just nowhere

Signals designed for slower trains were unsafe with faster trains and bad maintenance unless the separation between trains was massively increased and speed limits were aggressively enforced. Bureaucracy was slow to recognize this causing a

Self-driving convoying essentially boils down to doing this. The problem in your approach is fully locking the brakes rather than slightly decelerating the car. I'd also guess that after 2 years of your system most people would manage
