Yeah, election promises and post-election behavior aren't really correlated in general. I think this administration is worse than the average, but still. Past talking points are not indicative of future behavior.

I'm not familiar with this app, but a service lets you do potentially nice things like cross device sync and sharing observations with trusted others.

If you're worried abour grid health, how is adding distributed generation colocated with new loads dystopian? Sure, it would be nice to be able to build more transmission lines and power stations wherever it makes sense for engineering

I had the 24 port version of these. They're fine for 'cooperative vlans' where you trust everything (enough), but want a little separation. But they're not sufficient if you don't trust the devices. You can't r

I mean, it's good to be aware from the beginning, even if you don't intend to follow them right away. But, my rule of thumb is you don't really need to worry about laws from places where they don't have real jurisdiction

The problem with USB, is the revisions are all encompasing. So USB 2.0 includes the 1.5 Mbps and 12.0 Mbps modes from usb 1.x as well as the new 480 Mbps mode, so you could have a USB 2.0 device that only did 12 Mbps (high speed!). It might

If I were in your shoes, I'd do projections for retiring today, +1 year, +2 years, +5 years, +10 years, etc. Maybe a few more intermediate values. Then you'll have a better idea of how managable it would be if your career was kil

I'd guess you might get more prosocial results by ramping up slowly. Start eating beans twice a day, but start with very small portions.

If nobody wanted it in the first 10 years it was available, chances are it's only going to get one circulation if they buy it for you. That's not a great use of the libraries purchase budget or shelf space budget. If they had a co
