I'm in FL -- there are many many small communities like Saddlebags Lakes Resort[1] that do not have any broadband services at all. The local cable/DSL providers have not seen it prudent to bother to provide service. I can list at

Source please. I would very much disagree. I've been involved in the operation of several WISPS over the last 15 years and it's been my observation that they are typically run by people who do not understand basic networking and d

Did anyone notice the Flame Internet at the top left of the page? A quick google brings up flamepro.com which is in the same geographical area. They have a picture of the original website on their facebook page also. I bet this is the compa

While it is widely accepted that portions of the Rocky Mountains were once underwater, and were pushed up via orogenic processes, it is also widely accepted that the vast majority of the central United States spent a significant amount of t

Generically? Elementary school scientific method: By formulating a hypothesis, then testing the hypothesis. Hypothesis: The recent rise in global average temperature is caused by man-made increase in emissions of CO2. Now, how do you test?

How would you establish causation?

by sathackr 10y ago
My mind isn't made up, because there is not enough evidence to generate a conclusion. Which is why I have a problem with anyone who does come to a conclusion, because they do not have enough evidence either. Observational evidence says

They don't have the data to model it the way they predict the course of hurricanes. Models are just models, they're only as good as their design and the data they are fed. We have solid temperature data for only a few hundred year

Don't you know that correlation = causation? CO2 is going up. Temperature is going up. Ocean is going up. Conclusion? All caused by CO2. Oh, and temperature going down is also caused by CO2 going up. I haven't seen it yet but I&#x

Wait, so if I go to your boss and tell him you called me a MILF, it's true? It's not completely implausible there is an ulterior motive. And she is well protected if there is. He, on the other hand is not. None of us know enough a

How do you ensure someone upholds a code of ethics? Licensing is not the answer. I'm sure there are many PEs that find themselves in similar situations. I know examples of people in licensed fields who have sworn to uphold a code of et

That sounds nice...but then you will be replaced by a developer that will toe the company line. You're making 'unreasonable' demands and holding up progress. 'We can fix that with version 2.0' If every developer on

I'm with you...I can see exactly how this can happen. Unfortunately the only thing that can solve the apathetic board and executive management problem(who only see dollar signs) is the actuality, or realistic possibility, of significan

Exactly this. As I was reading the article I hoped to find this exact point in the HN comments. The fault lies in the bad software. It could have been the indexing service, online defrag, automatic updates, or any of the other various backg

you're probably thinking about a propeller - as in the type on an airplane or boat that puts energy into a fluid. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure there is a big difference from a device trying to pull energy out of the

I've been fascinated by this place since I first learned about it 10-15 years ago. Though I've heard many of the stories of lawlessness have been romanticized.

I read a book called "Chasing the Dragon"[1] that dealt with a female missionary's attempts to bring Christianity to the people there. It seemed to me to paint an accurate picture of what life in the city was like. As a side

tl;dr: a late 90s diesel light-truck engine puts out about the same levels of NOx, far from unprecedented. -------------- One of the main violations is NOx emissions. Current EPA standards are 0.043g/km. The TDI engines tested under re

Oops...my apologies. I was not aware that both versions were affected -- looks like this information came out a bit later. I'll edit the original post. Edit: Or not...looks like too much time has passed.

Nope, it actually was the serpentine belt. The serpentine belt shredded, wrapped around the crankshaft and worked its way into the timing cover, caused the timing belt to slip, which, since this is an interference motor, was disastrous for

I bought it used with 80,000 miles on it. Second owner. I'm a big do-it-yourselfer and generally avoid dealerships. BTW If you haven't changed your serpentine belt lately, do it! Mine broke at 90,000 miles, wrapped itself around t

Thank you for mentioning this. I am a owner of an affected TDI but did not receive the letter (or threw it away mistaking it for another car warranty junk mail letter) and was unaware of the "TDI Goodwill package"

The models affected by this do not use DEF[1] I used to understand the system fully but have lost some of that as it's no longer important to me. In short, the CBEA engine line has a complex emissions control system consisting of 3 sep
