Yeah it would've been best if this was in addition to regular visits. I would bet that it would reduce in-person meetings a bit as well since they're a pain in the ass. E.g. instead of weekly visitation, do video calls a few times a week and in-person every other week or so. Would be a win-win for everyone.
It would not be a win-win for the prison industry unless they could collect greater rents and maybe not even then if the recidivism rate dropped.
The problem with using nitrogen is that it is incredibly dangerous by virtue of being undetectable by those exposed. If a gas is used for asphyxiation, then it should have an odor just for the safety of bystanders.
You want the carriage to return and the paper moved up by one line, not print over the last line (CR only) or continue at the current position one line down (LF only). Imagine that, Microsoft doing something correctly.
Back when this mattered, it was standard to include a DIP switch settings on the printer which selected between various behaviors in response to CR and LR.
This reminds me of another benefit I didn't see mentioned (browsing at +X on my phone): there is an infrastructure component to this as well. Having semi self sufficient homes reduces the need for more generation facilities. And the decentralized generation may be helpful when the big one hits.
Rooftop solar will not be helpful at all during power outages. To get maximum benefit, these are grid tied systems so excess power is sent to the grid during the day. If the grid fails, then the solar is not usable independently.
aka "failure." you broke the user experience in Win 8 and plowed it under and used it as an artillery range in Win 10. get rid of the idea that big-screen PCs and little-screen phones are the same thing, they aren't, and stop trying to graft Presentation Manager or Quantum on top of Windows.
But if they do not do this, then how will they leverage their desktop monopoly onto smart phones?
Well, let's see. With modern high performance caches executing at 3 GHz with a 4 cycle load-to-use penalty, a 6502 would come out at like 375 MHz. There are faster processors than that which do not employ speculative execution including many current ARM cores.
The solution to this is to fetch both instructions and speculatively do both until you know which way the branch went.
Speculative execution relies on the branch prediction to execute *one* of the paths after the branch. Eager execution executes both sides of the branch in which case branch prediction is not required. Only research processors use eager execution as it is incredibly inefficient compared to branch prediction which has gotten very good.
Make it run fast with a short pipeline, then branches won't cost much.
A long pipeline is required to increase the load-to-use latency allowing a higher frequency. If the pipeline is shortened, then the load-to-use latency requirements on the cache increase lowering the frequency.
GPUs are no different than any other piece of silicon. As long as they were kept within manufactures specs as far as power and thermals go they aren't going to "wear out" If anything these cards used for mining are well tested cards since all the failures and DOA cards would have already been RMAed back to the manufacturer
The manufacturer's specifications for GPUs include an operating life of an order of magnitude lower than CPUs brought on by higher operating junction temperatures so these cards really are worn out and are on or approaching the wearout part of their reliability curve. I suppose you could check for GPU card designs which operate at 60C or lower under maximum load; they should have a decade or more of operating life left.
And if the cooling on the chip is adequate to keep the operating temperature stable and below the manufacturer's stated maximum, then there should be no problem unless the manufacturer misstated the spec AND failed to allow firmware to throttle back if temperature exceeds the spec.
The manufacturers misstate the specifications insofar as GPUs are not rated for temperature and operating life in the same way that CPUs and other high performance logic is. This is easy enough to see by looking at the maximum rated junction temperature. I can expect Intel and AMD CPUs to operate for 10 to 20 years at maximum continuous load; with GPUs operating 30C higher or more, this is more like 1 or 2 years.
It's not like these things have a duty cycle like a cheap piece of shit electric tool where you can only run it for 1 minute and then have to let it cool for 3+ or your'll cook the motor. Thermal engineers actually designed the cooler to... you know... keep it at operating temperature under load.
Many GPUs cooling systems from major manufacturers, and nVidia has had a huge problem with this in the recent past which included lawsuits and product recalls, are inadequately designed making the problem mentioned above worse. One of the primary criteria I look for in GPU cards is low, 60C and lower, operating junction temperature.
But no, this is already very, very disturbing. To wit: "You leave your DNA in a place that is a public domain" the goverment official says. Yes you do, everywhere, involuntary.
As far as the court is concerned, "a place that is a public domain" includes an interrogation room where the police hold you until you have shed enough DNA to collect there. Why do they even *have* warrants to collect DNA?
^^^ This. How about a lively discussion about how we can use tech to stop people from running over crowds of other people with speeding vehicles instead?
Obviously, banning vehicles for anyone other than the military of a sovereign nation is the answer. The vehicles used by the nation should require multi factor biometric locking mechanisms. Is this even a question?
Just ban high capacity assault vans and trucks. Only the military and law enforcement need these vehicles.
Floppy has been successfully replaced by SD cards. Stronger device, smaller, and gigabytes have replaced 1.44 megabytes.
Except on Apple systems where there is no SD card slot and one damn USB-C port which is needed for other things, but only one thing at a time without a dongle. So Apple replaced the floppy with nothing.
Hopefully we won't have to deal with Intel crippling compilers to make sure they run worse on non-Intel processors by disabling all optimizations even if the processor supports it like they did before to make AMD look bad. Or start making deals with vendors to lock AMD out.
Intel never stopped doing this; their compilers produce code and their libraries execute code based on the manufacturer and model rather than the feature flags. The court only required that Intel admit this in their documentation.
So, are you going to have cops sitting at the entrance and exit of this neighborhood, recording everyone that enters, relaying that information to the exit cop, and then having them try to match any cars that drove through?
Don't you think the cops could issue enough tickets to pay for themselves? If not, use license plate readers.
And not environmentally friendly to have disposable batteries with plastics and electrolyte compounds tossed into landfills.
Time to ban disposable batteries and introduce LiON chemistry replacement cartridges for these old AA and AAA cells.
So trade the chemistry which uses zinc, manganese, and lye with something else?
One problem with the potential rechargeable lithium chemistry replacements is that they have incompatible charge requirements and fail destructively if reverse charged in a series configuration. This is already a problem with 3 volt nominal CR123 and 17670 size rechargeable lithium cells.
So really what you are advocating is smart batteries, price gouging, and less safety.
I don't have a big problem with the tax mitigating the problem for instance using the tobacco tax for smoking cessation programs or lung cancer research or using an additional battery tax to properly recycle single use batteries.
You want to recycle zinc, manganese, and potassium?
Just call it what it is, a disposal tax. Because nobody is going to recycle anything from these batteries.
Vlans do nothing. You have to have separate infrastructure, cabling, the whole shot.
Basically if you can create it from a single location you can expect someone on the outside to be able to do the same thing.
What is the problem with VLANs? At least the way I use them, every ethernet domain is isolated from every other ethernet domain by a router. So as far as the IOT (internet of things) fish tank thermometer is concerned, it is the only device on the network and it can only see the internet if the router allows it.

So what? Good riddance. The world does not need another criminal.
Then why are they making one?

It was an accident; they copied from CP/M.

15,000 of the 80,000 new home construction sites each year already include solar as part of the build.
And what was the distribution?

You misunderstand. It's not a "nothing to hide" argument. If you have stuff to hide, don't put it on your phone. I just really like convenience .
I don't have anything to hide. I just lack anything I want to share.

I wonder what would've happened if Cliton won the vote. Actually... Nothing would've happened, NK would've started WWIII already.
Clinton should get the Nobel Peace Prize for losing the election allowing Trump to peacefully resolve the North Korea problem.

Anyone confirm?
I like tabs when they work. But since they never work, I do not like them.
