Differences between AC and DC power distribution and why you might chose one over the other. TLDR, AC is the most common choice for good reason, but there are also conditions where DC would be the better choice: You may have heard something

I’ve never really understood why people object to me holding a gun to their head and telling them to give me all their money. I’m not reaching into their pocket and taking it, they are choosing to accept the deal I’m offering. Absolutely no

Let’s put the validity of what Greenwald wanted to publish aside for a second. The relationship between an editor and a writer is always one of mutual cooperation and agreement. Not that the editor always must agree with what the author wri

What is the specific unsafe condition are you worried about? I don’t know everything but I did evaluate consumer tech for Underwriters Laboratories to IEC 60950 and 62358. I think your caution is commendable but nothing you’ve described is

I think your comparison to VSCode is very useful, but with regards to crashing - I’ve not had Teams crash even once after a year of heavy use. VSCode was made with the explicit intent of attracting software developers, who not always but ge

To echo everyone else, you want activated carbon. Put it in your filter stack behind the other filter and you’re golden.

This is not correct. Activated carbon is very effective and in wide use for odor removal.

I recently became a developer for a terrible no good platform that I shouldn’t name (ServiceNow). It’s bad in ways you can’t even understand unless you develop for it. I want to use Firefox for all kinds of reasons, only problem is chromium

If you can build a house with a door, you can put a decent lock on the door. If you can’t put a lock on the door or don’t understand why or how, you can’t really build a house.

It is in fact fundamentally different from gambling. In Vegas, there’s a non-zero chance of recouping your “investment” or even to make money. Not even a possibility here.

If it were just the features (time of flight and image recognition), probably not 13k. I’m not an expert in police gear, but there are likely performance standards that the manufacturer has to prove so that the readings can stand up in cour

Do you believe that governments ever abuse classification power? If so, should there be any circumstances where classified material can be shared in the public domain?

I’m far from an Apple booster but I think what it does is pretty relevant to the industry worldwide. They may have only like 20% of the market share worldwide but they make far more than half of all profits of smartphones sold worldwide.

To expand on the other answers, generally the project owner deals with “why” and the manager with “what.” In slightly more vulgar terms, it’s like the difference between an owner of a McDonald’s and a manager of a McDonald’s.

You’re mixing the general and the specific. Specifically yes, you don’t have to work for Amazon, but in general yes you are in fact forced to work or die in a capitalist system. In some situations Amazon may be the only viable employer.

Another way to describe it would be a clear lie, by their own definition. What other way you could you know how people are using tools then by...monitoring the use of said tools?

OP omitted “at the time” most likely. It’s a bad idea for anti-abuse engines to ban in realtime because it’s too strong of a signal to those trying to circumvent it. OP most likely used a 3rd party client in the past and got banned later.
