Even if it does go to Mars there are some major warts on the design. When you land you're 35-40 meters or so up in the air so there's a whole other elevator assembly needed just to get people out of the rocket to the ground.

You could do it with F9 it would just be assembled in orbit over multiple launches like one of the original moon mission profiles instead of single launch (that's also essentially the profile of the Moon and Mars missions in Starship e

I think you can see the cracks opening, for example unless I've missed it they haven't managed to open the little satellite door successfully on any of these flights.

I think they have to for tunnels to work. They rewrite the headers so the target server doesn't have to have any special config to recognize abc.example.xyz as being itself. I think in theory you could get it without it but that would

I've taken the easier solution of Cloudflare's free Tunnel service so my IP is less exposed and I don't have to poke holes in my firewall.

To do that people have to physically come to my house and there are solutions to that, people can fuck with my internet from anywhere in the world. It's similar to why remote internet voting is such a pandora's box of issues.

I'm not surprised. Generally the default number of frames between key/I-frames is set pretty low because too many I frames in a row tend to look bad on video content that isn't static and also if you jump to a point between 2

That's probably mostly audio too given the vido is a 95% static screen. That has to encode to basically nothing.

It's part of shaping the brush to get a fine point often you run it along the back of your other hand to help shape it but I've seen licking it too on occassion.

The idea was to have dual use so that they're not obsoleted when we get around to installing sufficient power storage for renewables and also a less heat intensive way to do it too.

Yes of course. My idea was a way for existing facilities to also function in this capacity so you didn't wind up with facilities reliant only on negative prices. I think that's important because those prices are a bandaid on the r

In theory if you run it using negative priced energy you could maybe run with older less efficient hardware that's not viable for current mining that would be much cheaper, if you can source it. I'm thinking older ASICs for BTC fo

Like I said support isn't really there for a lot of electric customers. I pay a single flat rate for electricity so there's no point in time shifting consumption. Also there are downsides to having clothes just sit there for hours

I'm not sure they care. Research etc goes against a lot of their ideological stances from climate policy to gender to economics (eg: there's barely a trickle down the cups at the top are bottomless) so they're just destroying

The issue there is connectivity and most residential customers don't pay spot prices so you need to upgrade their meters as well or build metering into the appliance so they can get credit for the energy they burn off. Plus you're

You're leaving out the horrific part where they weren't told about the known dangers and we routinely licking/shaping their brushes to get finer points which was a big source of the radium exposure.

Pumped hydro could do that if they had a way to bypass (either physically or electrically) their turbines on the downhill portion of the loop. Just pump water up and back down without extracting the energy. Then you have a dummy load that i

In some areas negative prices account for up to 25% of hours so it's a decent number but still a rough number of spins up and down and a lowish duty cycle. A solution might be to build battery capacity along side these loads to effecti

The big problem there is you have these intensely capital expensive capture plants sitting idle around 75% of the time. Also the processes may not gracefully start and stop though maybe you could smooth that out by building a huge battery b

That's what I got out of isodev's comment too. The data is accessible by US companies still. If it comes down to being able to sell services and phones to the US market or giving up your data to a warrant I don't think Apple

The VM option is relatively new and the original idea was to provide that isolation without the weight of a VM. Also I'm not sure that docker didn't coin the word containerization, I've alway associated it with specifically t

No it's the opposite, the entire premise of Docker over VMs is that you run one instance of all the OS stuff that's shared so it takes less resources than a VM and the portable images are smaller because they don't contain th

Yes but they have LIDAR which Musk has steadfastly refused to have in Teslas (probably becasue if it does turn out to be required he's in deep shit for all the cars he's sold so far without it they could be forced to upgrade).
