Filtering on the app side is more flexible. A game that has some levels not suitable for children could when on a child's device still let them play most of the game.

It should be noted that if you are willing to forego selling excess solar power back to the grid you can bypass the need for inspection or approval from your utility. Put some (or all) of your circuits on a transfer switch or generator inte

Maybe if half of the US government wasn't trying to discourage solar power, wind power, and EVs there might be more interest in making them domestically.

It's weird how everyone focuses on that part of the CLOUD Act. The CLOUD Act actually did two things: (1) that, and (2) provided an expedited way for the US to enter into Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) with other countries. I

If a municipal water system was down wouldn't it affect all water to residences, not just drinking water? Would it be feasible for people to flush their toilets with bottled water for a week?

That’s an uncountable set. If we want a counter example for uncountable sets a simpler example is a circular area. Anyone happen to know if it is true for countably infinite sets?

It can help to think about theorems like this by restating them as a puzzle asking for a counterexample. Given N points, N > 2, can you arrange them in a Euclidean plane so that (1) they are not all on the same line, and (2) every line t

Part of the problem is xAI. I bet the first reaction of many people when they hear someone wants to build a data center in their area is "Oh no...they want to do to us what they did to those people in Tennessee!" [1]. They built i

That's the California approach. Devices whose primary user is a child will have to provide a way for parents to provide an age range for the child, and an API that apps and app stores can use to check that so they can avoid doing thing
