I was wondering the same. If the battery can warn that it is about to be compromised to explode, it should also be able to disconnect itself and slowly discharge through a resistor so that it doesn't explode. Many LiIon batteries already have an IC at one end that disconnects it when it is overdischarged or if the discharge rate is too high. If they want to get fancy, that slow discharge could be through a red LED to visibly indicate failure.
Sure, but the hack was more akin to picking the lock on the front door and kidnapping the children from their beds. So you would suggest not leaving the children unchained at night?
True but irrelevant. The question was why doesn't he 'just' use it to generate power and feed the grid for cash. The answer is because building a power plant is expensive, especially when you need to design one for a novel heat source.
Well, if it's trivial, I guess you'll be able to post a link to your detailed design with BOM and construction timeline by morning, right? Hop to it!
Ans since it was being discussed in lieu of investor funding it must be doable for pocket change, will $100 be enough? You can have that built by next week, of course! OH BOY, I can't wait!
Except that I don't need to pay for cable (Netflix, digital antenna, etc). In the UK if you own a TV, you have to pay a yearly tax.
Or skip the license and watch Netflix on a monitor. You only need the license if you have a tuner.
Do you honestly think that a few extra weeks of vacation time is worth losing 23% of your pay? A price differential, absolutely - I'd gladly take a small paycut for more vacation time. But nearly a quarter of your income lost? That's a horrible trade off for the increase in vacation days.
You're the one who said the difference was accounted for by the difference in vacations. In any event, that is not a TAX. Your claim was that the TAX burden was HUGE in exchange for the healthcare. The actual figures show that the TAX BURDEN is about the same as in the U.S. once health insurance premiums and out of pocket expenses are considered. That's not counting the less well defined benefit of not having to buy time on a supercomputer to forecast what your likely copay might be and what your odds are of not getting screwed.
As for the differential, that comes down to the difference in cost of living (which is NOT the same as the exchange rate). A good income in the midwest wouldn't even pay for a closet sized condo in the valley. It comes down to how those numbers work out and personal preference as to where you should live. The actual difference in taxes is lost in the noise.
The National Insurance is the retirement fund. It is very much equivalent to SS. NHS comes out of the other taxes.
As I understand it, it produces heat. Allegedly it produces more heat than can be accounted for by the electrical input. A heat source is a great start, but it takes a lot more than that to generate electricity and feed it to the grid.
If you're going to count the TV license, you'll need to include a portion of your cable bill in the U.S. The $11,000 in 'lost' wages is quite questionable since it is compensated with vacation time (unless you place zero value on free time. If you do place zero value on free time, why only one job?).
Disallowing those brings things to rough parity. That's not even considering that you would likely use less fuel in the UK due to better public transport (funded, in part by that high fuel tax) and things being arranged so that less driving is required.
It looks like the national insurance (roughly, social security) ranges between 0 and 12% depending on income. That puts it below social security in the U.S. once you count that your employer pays half of it (and so doesn't pay it to you). However, I don't know ahet the limits are or how much you would pay, so unless someone from the UK would care to chime in, I agree we should call it a wash).
You also have the right to face your accuser. The evidence presented does not appear to have come from the FBI at all. It came from some 'other' who is the actual accuser. Produce the accuser or exclude the evidence. Hearsay isn't permitted.
The courts have gotten quite lax about that lately and that is why the people are rapidly losing confidence in the courts.
The way evidence is obtained matters a lot. If for no other reason that a disreputable source may have faked it all.
It is also necessary to care so it doesn't become a universal back door to violate the 4th. For example, I get some homeless person to tell me that you are building a bomb in your basement (and he just happens to find a fifth of jack nearby). Now I have 'probable cause' to bust in and find the desiccated remnant of a roach the previous owner of your home smoked, bust you for 'possession' and take what I want.
Actually, it was my own conclusion just by looking at him. It's really quite obvious that there is no 'left' in the U.S. and that the closest we have was once called 'right'. The 'right' we have now would once have been known as the crazy wingnuts.
Consider, Universal healthcare turned into insurance bought from private entities. A few years ago it was called 'Romneycare'.
There's nothing inapt about it. It is a perfectly valid observation of how quickly the actual positions of the parties have shifted and is worthwhile for those whose position has NOT shifted so much. Perhaps it's time for people to re-evaluate the party they affiliate with.
They are supposed to tell the truth in court. This is beyond not having paperwork in order. So yes, if that's all they have, they must let him go and hopefully learn to tell the truth in court next time.
No, you actually claimed it was impossible for journald to fail where rsyslogd succeeds. I pointed out a plausible mechanism with no claim that it was/was not the case.
Have a look at the bug report and the big fat won'tfix and then ask yourself why I would bother beating my head against the brick wall.
True, but the courts and law enforcement should be mindful that where they leave a vacuum, vigilantes will fill in with guns, knives, stones, or rope where necessary.
You seem to mis-understand and also seem a little desperate for journald to not be a steaming pile (else why are you playing semantic games with situations I have made clear are not the case?). There are any number of possibilities for bugs in journald. For example, it could be attempting to be clever and as a result not writing entire records out promptly.
The hospital has since acknowledged that they were made aware that he had just gotten back from an ebola hotspot and thought he might have been exposed.
Had they not been anxious to send him away ASAP, they would have made more of that.

Since we don't appear to speak a common language, I saw no point.
zieroh is the one who claimed it would be trivial.
Don't forget, the plant would need to be fairly efficient to make the system over unity.

RTFP (Read The Fine Paper). They claim they DID measure input power themselves.
As for the rest, I haven't formed an opinion and I am unlikely to have enough data to do so for some time.

You must have a GREAT Home Depot where you live. Mine doesn't have steam turbines and boilers.

Yeah, Gandhi and Hitler, other than monor disagreements on genocide, practically twins!
Yes, as I indicated, both are more authoritarian today as well as being further right.

Actually, with the right shift of politics, Eisenhower is left of republicans AND lower on the authoritarian scale than either Rs or Ds today..
Godwin!
And yet from today's perspective, Eisenhower could be mistaken for a Democrat.

If you have it, also post your health insurance premiums. Also post the relevant state and local taxes (just the numbers if you prefer).
Try sending the president a letter that says you know his schedule and you are going to kill him. We'll see you when you get out.
