Well, score another one for police — why was not the fake caller prosecuted after his very first crime?
Score two for the police. In virtually no other modern western country would the cops have immediately shot a person for just opening the front door. Competent police would seek to contain the situation until they worked out what was going on, get a negotiator, trained snipers etc. Of course the guy in the door was black so never let a chance go by.
Nuclear is not as straight forward as you say. You also want your fuel to be used evenly, have to take into account the level of fission products in the reactor, etc. Nuclear is also less reliable than solar and wind, so you also have to plan for sudden unplanned loss of power sources. There is also a weather factor for nuclear as nuclear plants depend on water for cooling, so if water levels are too low or it becomes too hot, it does not work. The later is the reason France depends on Germany for power and not vice versa as incorrectly claimed by many here.
Nuclear power can load follow to an extent, but it's not capable of really fast responses like the big Australian Tesla battery. Also the economics do not favor using nuclear for load following. The big expense in nuclear is the initial capital cost and if you want to get a return on investment you run the plant as close to maximum output all the time, so nuclear is best suited for base load power.
I also think it's stupid to say that nuclear is less reliable than solar or wind. Does nuclear suddenly quit when the sun goes down or when the wind stops or when the plant is covered in snow?
Yes, if you must have a printer, its laser printer FTW.
One of the alleged features of my old Epson inkjet printers was 6 individual ink cartridges. In theory, you only replace the colors you need. In reality, even if you never print anything other than plain black text, your color cartridges will still go empty because, guess what, all colors mixed together equals black.
Usually you can go into the printer driver and tick "B&W Only" and the printer will just use the black cartridge. However I'm also a proud B&W laser printer owner.
Really, though, I need to think about that. We may need to slow that down. That's a hell of a fast change-over and cutting the rug out from under that many working Americans that fast will make it difficult for them to find new jobs.
I do hope your plan includes a shit load of storage, because that's what's missing from making renewables a truly robust replacement to conventional power sources (I'd also like to see more nuclear).
An artificial arm with this technology would be fantastic, light weight, cheap and flexible like its organic counterpart. But there are draw backs
1)It is strong to its weight but its weight is low, it needs to be strong flat out and these systems look like a child could pull them open even under tension.
You underestimate the power of air pressure, assuming it has a reasonable amount of surface area to work on. At 14.2 pounds per square inch or about one kg per square cm it won't take much surface area to overpower even a strong man, let alone a child, and these things are folded to provide lots of area.
2)It is slow, which for some operations still leaves it within the realm of practical but for the majority of applications this is unacceptable.
3)Flex fatigue would be a factor, in a lab just to demonstrate with fresh materials it looks good, but in the real world where things get scratched and wear down I cannot honestly see one of these muscles lasting beyond a month in indoor conditions before fraying and failing (most appear to need the entire surface to be unbroken to maintain a seal). In outdoor conditions this would occur much faster and water based units would be highly temperature sensitive.
I dunno, modern plastics can be pretty damn tough. Even if they have to be replaced every 6 months or so (indoors), that could be acceptable if they're cheap enough to make. The nuisance of having to replace them could compensate for the high initial cost of a precision machined hydraulic solution
Unlike the James Damore faggot most men don't become afraid of women just by sitting next to them.
Except that if the man has a high-profile job forty years later, that woman can "come forward" and accuse him of anything they feel like. Under the new liberal parallel justice system that does not require evidence, the man automatically has to resign.
Not woman but women, like 8, 12, 60 etc depending on the individual.
One argument for Robotic Surgery in the case of difficult surgery is that the surgeon isn't as worn out while doing the surgery. The results may wind up being the same in terms of efficacy but it's less work overall for the surgeon.
The surgery typically takes an hour longer than doing it manually, so I don't know what that will do to the doctor's efficiency.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the robot, one or two thousand dollars extra in consumables per operation and fewer operations performed each day . . . hmm.
Here's a radio interview from last week with the guy who did the study:
That's kind of what happens when the Australian Signals Directorate wants brilliant hackers to work for them, but only offers to pay them entry-level Help Desk wages.
It wasn't the Australian Signals Directorate but some dickhead project sub-contractor. According to someone on TV last night it's a 50 person company and they only have one man doing IT functions, which includes things like fixing printers. I wonder what happens if this person goes on holidays?
While this company deserves to burn in hell, we also need to look at the idiots which gave them the job. Was no due diligence done to see if the sub-contractors were capable, and why did they need this kind of information in the first place? Balls should roll.
It's much simpler than that. It's called location services. "I don't know them Facebook!" Really, because you spend time about once a week with them in the same hotel room.
FWIW Facebook claims they don't use location services to determine identities for friends requests (stated in link).
How many bees in an average hive?
Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies. Honey bee colonies consist of a single queen, hundreds of male drones and 20,000 to 80,000 female worker bees. Each honey bee colony also consists of developing eggs, larvae and pupae.
Who the hell gets to glue a tiny RFID chip to 20,000 to 80,000+ bees?
Either undocumented immigrants or university undergraduates.
Yes. However, given that the key has to be the same length as the cleartext and can never be reused, that makes it an unworkable solution for two-way electronic communications.
It's just barely feasible for things like numbers stations.
These days you can fit 256GB on a microSD card. For point to point communication that's quite a lot. You could also smuggle two or more separate versions by different routes and XOR them together at the destination to guard against a single courier being intercepted.
Don't build so darn near the shoreline. And don't build on former riverbeds or other lowland that's a candidate for flooding. Also keep some areas of forest and ponds to slow and absorb runoff water.
That could potentially explain the US numbers. But as far as I know Australia doesn't have quite the same issue with border control. The majority of illegals in Australia are people who overstay visas and that is about 65,000. No where close to 1.7 million, though census data is estimated, so that is more likely the issue.
Australia has recently done a full five yearly census, so census data is NOT just estimated.
Has a brand image like the kardashians? #donotwantasteacher
Seriously there is no place for this in public schools except as part of the segue from authoritarian acceptance to corporate authority acceptance. How this hasn't been frowned on by her school administration/district board is beyond me.
"From TFA: "At a time when teachers shell out an average of $600 of their own money every year just to buy student supplies like pencils — and make pleas for student laptops on DonorsChoose.org, a fund-raising site — it’s understandable that teachers would embrace free classroom technology.".
This may be a part of the problem. If the authorities can't fund schools enough to provide even the basics, then people will go outside the system.
Of course it's also possible that she's just doing it for the money.:)
OK, so they've made it thinner, reducing battery capacity in the process (and getting rid of the headphone socket), but then they put a large camera bulge on the back?

As long as the population keeps increasing, it is self-evident that the planet is not overpopulated.
And if I eat and eat and weigh 400 pounds, it is self evident that I'm not over weight because I haven't actually died yet.

The next time you fail to lock your car door, I will be sure to rob you and leave a note that says "shit security".
In Australia leaving your car door unlocked when the vehicle is unattended in a public place will get you a fine.
It would be nice if we could get the same sort of treatment for the idiots who code for these IOT devices.
BTW, it seems a lot of his victims were ISPs who are professionals and should know better as to how to set up their equipment.
In future Australia's NBN network roll out will be adopting wet string as an upgrade.
It's one thing to create edited video that fools a casual observer, and another that stands up to forensic analysis.
We'll just hire "our" forensic expert to say that "your' forensic expert is wrong. Fake News etc.
Do you think it's enough solar?
Really, though, I need to think about that. We may need to slow that down. That's a hell of a fast change-over and cutting the rug out from under that many working Americans that fast will make it difficult for them to find new jobs.

Something I've always wondered, what happens if you lose your Yubikey or its electronics stuffs up? How do you reestablish your identity?
Are we back to security questions like "what's your mother's maiden name?"
If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear.
Unfortunately it's the people in charge that get to define "wrong' and they can change that definition on a whim, and sometimes secretly.

Yes and this is scary. How much time before A.I. will do desk jobs and robots will do manual labor.
Already happening. A Japanese insurance company replaced 34 assessors with AI. More job descriptions to come.

Undoing moderation.
in addition to being a drug dealer and pedophile?
In many individual cases, probably Yes.
