We know other humans claim they experience pain, but how do we know that for sure? Maybe it's just a response to input? I think I experience pain, but maybe I only think I do and I actually don't. But if I think I do, is that enough?
I thin you missed the " Don't allow access to IP addresses, machines, etc. until you know who that user is and whether they're authorized" part. It's not "zero trust" it's "zero trust until authenticated". Authenticate devices plugged into the network before you allow them to talk to other network devices. I learned about this about 15 years ago in Networking 101. That's why It should use a Radius server with 802.1X, created back in 2001.

"raw" values are fundamentally impossible. Do you actually think when you read data from a harddrive that there's literally zeros and ones? Probably trolling. I should stop feeding you. But it does bring up an interesting topic of numbers being an abstract concept that are open to interpretation, even though we like to think of them as "concrete". Numbers are not real. They're a concept made up by humans as a flawed, but useful, way to describe the "real" world. Until you understand what I said, you don't know what a number actually is. Dunning Kruger effect strikes again. Dunning Kruger effect is actually a symptom of a lack of meta-cognition, which is an effect of a lack of abstract reasoning.
Temperatures are adjusted because raw values are always wrong. Raw values of measurements are only correlated with the real values. You need to adjust for known errors in the measurements. Known errors change over time and the resulting values need to be updated to reflect new knowledge.
Actual data is showing worse warming that predicted by those models. If anything, they were wrong in that they didn't show enough warming.
Even if AWG is wrong, then we've only made the World a better place to live for no good reason. Assuming we're talking about non-drastic changes, like better renewable power sources, not geoengineering.
Regardless, if an industry does not have exponential growth, it's considered "dead". The housing industry is dead and so is transportation and food. And many times when they say "declining" sales, they mean "declining sales growth". A bit of mental gymnastics allows them to say that selling the same amount one year as the last is a "decline".
yeah, I totally messed that up. Squeezed in the post between work items. High efficiency toilet can have 1.2gal "large" flushes and 0.8gal "small" flushes. Other than that, I typically drink around a half-gallon of water a day and I have a lot of drier food to eat, like PB&J, maybe some whey concentrate with a small amount of water, etc.
If you count all the water that went into producing said items that I eat and use, then my water usage is much much higher.
Reading some new gaming benchmarks of both games and a wide range of synthetic tests, performance is the same within the margin of error and actually biased to being faster if anything. The 4k random read benchmark on an NVME drive pushing a blistering fast 300k-iops took a 30% hit. That was the only benchmark that showed a negative impact.
I'm in a much cooler climate, so I don't need to drink much water, but 19gal/day sounds like a ton of water when compared to necessities. If I don't shower and only flush the toilet for #2, talking 0.5-1 gallons per day. I'm sure if I needed to bathe I could figure out a way to use much less water, like a small bit of water and a sponge. The biggest influence on water consumption is how much I sweat. Most of the time I'm indoors with AC or it's winter. But even 95f with high humidity and the windows opened in the house, taking 2-3 gallons. What am I missing?
those Alcatel-Lucent telco grade switches and network fabric items are very expensive
Yes, they are expensive, because a single switch has enough bandwidth for the entire USA. Most ISPs don't need a 100Tb/s switch. The numbers seem large, but it's only about $100/customer. A month or two of billing. Pure profit after.
What's the definition of an "author"? What's the difference between recording whitenoise and recording other parts of nature. Both are naturally occurring photons, yet somehow recording monkeys in the wild is covered by copyright?
It's not constant. 1% of the time it may dip below 10Mb. The faster and more stable the speed, the less likely to have random dips that do affect your experience. Maybe he is trying to read a book, and needs 50Mb/s to provide quick loading of large images.
Cheap is relative. $30 is not "cheap" in general, but for APs, this is virtually free. I just ponied up $140 for a new AP and I feel bad because I wanted the $400 AP, but my current WIFI suddenly started acting up. I would rather go without than to deal with crap.
If Comcast could run 100Mbps with no caps, they would.
Please explain why rural areas have 1Gb fiber for $80 from small private ISPs and the city has 60Mb copper for $100/m from incumbents. Obviously is cheaper in rural areas, right? Running that fiber line to the farm 3 miles away must be easy money.
Case study after case study shows that being an ISP in even a moderately populated area is a cash cow of high margin profits. Case studies are also showing that the most difficult part of becoming an ISP is getting through the red-tape trap incumbents have setup and the crazy expensive and drawn out legal proceedings that can take years because incumbents will fight tooth-and-nail to keep competition out.
Actual real ISPs in the USA that try to be transparent and offer quality reliable services to mediocre income areas with sub-optimal densities are claiming that all technical aspects of the Internet, including upgrading, managing, and maintaining their infrastructure and providing transit bandwidth, is 1%-3% of operating costs.
The Internet is only 1%-3% of your Internet bill. This begs the question of why incumbent ISPs are so up in arms about restricting the Internet and trying to charge overage fees and the like, if 1% of their costs have anything to do with you actually using the Internet.
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil" followed by "Know when to optimize ahead of time otherwise you're going to be in for a world of hurt".
Depends on the defect. I have a live sub-pixel that I can see from ~6 feet away on my 23" 1080p LCD in a well lit room, a funny angle, and glare on the screen. I'm at work.
Software is a way to tell a computer exactly what to do and perfectly follows its instruction to the letter. An airbag cannot be told exactly what to do.
Software is a unique situation where a person can exactly and perfectly describe their intentions. If this is not how some people program, then they're in the wrong business.
In the real world, as a programmer, you will primarily be solving problem to which there are no correct answers, and the frame of mind is more important to creating a decent answer than the knowledge that you don't know the answer.
How long until the battery has to be rebuilt/replaced?
They over-speced the install to accommodate for battery storage loss. The Tesla li-ion batteries already have +20% over their spec so 100% and 0% aren't actually 0% and 100%, so the battery lasts longer, then the 100MW install they did in Australia is actually a ~120MW install officially rated for 100MW. In 10 years from now, assuming a norm worst case every day, which is statistically unlikely, will be down to ~100MW effective, while still having ~120MW of remaining raw capacity.
The 10 year life time assumes 1 full cycle per day. Most of the cycles that I see are more like 50% daily than 100%. This will cause the batteries to last much longer. I assume the batteries can be replaced on bank at a time, which will make it very convenient and easy to plan.
From what I've read, but not validated, is that li-ion is very recyclable. New packs for new demand will be more expensive than existing recycled packs once the industry matures. Prices are plummeting year after year. Once we start getting the first round of recycled batteries, we'll see prices fall further.
Black-body radiation emotions from every object in your life is of much more dangerous energy levels and wavelengths than a cell-phone. This includes the black-body radiation that every atom in your body emits, with a gross emission measured in gigawatts. The net emission is responsible or about 50% of your body heat loss at room temp.
Not to mention that at room temp, the average adult's skin is absorbing and emitting slightly more than ~800watts of IR, which is more dangerous than microwave.
There are plenty of case studies, albeit in optimal climates, where solar/wind plus batteries are the cheapest form of energy generation and have paid themselves over just in operational costs in a matter of years, and that's all without government subsidies. As costs continue to exponentially fall, more and more climates will be good enough. The Middle East has a multi-hundred megawatt solar farm with batteries that is cranking out stable power at a cost of around $0.05. They were able to under-cut a natural gas plant, which has an absurdly cheap source of fuel for an area in the world that is laden with that fuel type.
I would like to add that a recently marketing campaign was poking fun at Charter because of their "Up to". They were like "We don't do 'up to', we give your your full speed all the time. We guarantee it." $100 for 500/500.
