If I buy a USB-C PD power bank with 10,000mAh capacity, per the USB spec it can output power at 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V, depending on which device is plugged in. Which voltage is the 10,000mAh capacity in reference to? Most likely it's act

You can have a battery cell that is 3v, 100mAh. And another cell that is 6v, 100mAh. The second cell has double the energy storage as the first cell. Really mAh is only useful when comparing cells of the same voltage. It became a common met

I imagine this will still start as pretty limited and improve over time. Voice is not that bandwidth intensive but is latency sensitive. "Data" covers a wide range that probably won't include streaming 4K YouTube at first.

The website says text messages in 2024, voice and data starting in 2025, and IoT in 2026. So it seems they have had the same thought on the usefulness for remote telemetry data. I don't know a lot about LTE signals but given the distan

Yeah, they are slowly rolling out new features like this year they added roadside assistance requests. Having a limited number of plain text message requests would be nice as well, maybe there will be more options once they add paid tiers.

The major caveat is extremely limited bandwidth. They are basically putting an LTE cell tower on the satellites. This can be used for very low-bandwidth applications, starting with just text messages. They are not providing 100MB+ broadband

What if more people want to live in a place like Queens than there are housing units there? Prices increase, and some people cannot afford to live there. Where do they go? If they move to your town, they are now "dissenters" for b

Group A is vaccinated. Group B is not. Both groups can catch COVID. Both groups can develop long COVID symptoms. This fits with "There seem to be plenty of unvaccinated people with long covid." You said: "For this to be logic

There is also a huge distinction to be made between being arrested for something and being convicted of it. Any cop can arrest you for DUI, with or without evidence. You get a mugshot, a public record, and a booking charge of "DUI&

And that's tough to study in the general population since a lot of vaccine recipients have had covid infections, whether or not they even realized it or tested positive.

Hm? If Group A and Group B have similar outcomes, then the outcome would seem to not be correlated to the difference between Group A and B. Whether or not the vaccine is a cause of long covid symptoms is not the same as whether the vaccine

The problem is that an arrest and a mugshot is not a conviction. The record of the former is still public even if the charges get dropped or the arrest was unlawful. And will appear on web searches or be surfaced by all of the background ch

I’m not sure being Vietnam in this scenario is particularly desirable. Not being completely defeated during a bloody invasion isn’t the same as never being invaded.
