It's funny (in a not so 'haha' way) that the dictatorship that is the UAE (sorry 'monarchy'), is actually less intrusive to travel through than the shining beacon of democracy that the US is supposed to be...
The UAE has to actually compete. The US does not have to or so they believe.
Many cities and towns have had ZERO regard for the wiring nightmare hanging over their streets. Not to mention trees and other hazards. UPS is a bunch of damn fools if they think they can simply put drones on trucks and go for it.
What do the drivers think? I read the UPS driver forums and they already had a lot of legitimate griefs and a lot of them felt overworked and pressured, so now they have to do drones, too? This is going to go over like a lead balloon in a gravity well.
Besides which, there are drone no-fly zones all over the place. The town where I live is completely off limits as we are too close to a major airport. But that's OK because there are tons of badly groomed trees and some of the worst telecom pole wiring I have ever seen. Phone, CATV, power, fiber, and above those lines are 100ft high voltage lines with at least three tiers. Even if there wasn't a flight ban here, you'd have to be a complete moron to try to fly a drone among all these wires and the trees. Forget the kite-eating tree. It has nothing on the ones around here. They don't just eat drones, they also thrown limbs at you. Seriously. They eject limbs from time to time.
So those cities and areas will not get UPS drone service; maybe UPS will charge a premium to deliver in these areas.
I remember when Java was the first language to do this. Shortly after that, C# was the first language to do this. Now PHP is the first language to do this. So who will be the next one to do it first?
Core i3, Pentium, and Celeron chips all support ECC. Good luck finding a motherboard with all 72 data pins wired though.
They are not that difficult to find. Look for LGA1150 and LGA1151 workstation/server motherboards which use C series (or I guess the X99?) south bridges.
Dunno what kind of traffic you are looking to route but that seems like an overkill. Or is it, AMD APUs are pretty bad at bandwidth actually?
Using an AMD APU for this application *is* overkill but they are inexpensive, their motherboards are inexpensive, and they draw a reasonably low amount of power.
I call bullshit. I've been building systems with ECC RAM since the early 2000's (because I'm a paranoid fuck) and the price was never even close to a factor 5 more expensive. Perhaps you used registered RAM.
After Intel dropped support for ECC in desktop systems and during the beginning of the DDR2 to DDR3 transition, ECC DDR3 was not available and not supported and new Intel systems which supported ECC used FB-DIMM which were way more expensive than ECC DDR2. The difference in price at the time between a new AMD system using ECC DDR2 and a comparable new Intel system using ECC FB-DIMMs was roughly $1000.
Sorry. Software on an inverter can handle volt var from excess PV. And power electronics a work better than rotating machines. Respond faster and more precise isely.
Which is more economical to build per watt? An inverter which supports VAR operation or a synchronous condenser?
There really isn't any easy way to do this. One approach I guess would be to have all the control electronics a long way from the robot and only basic actuators and sensors on the robot itself. However, video is still control electronics...
Pneumatics and/or hydraulics can be used for controls, logic, and power. Fiber optic light pipes can be used for video and incandescent lamps can be used for illumination. Scintillation can be used in combination with fiber optics for remote radiation detection and spectroscopy. Wire, transformers, relays, and motors are all suitable.
In this case, they must be the input and output capacitors of a switching power supply.
Ceramic capacitors are only used this way in applications which can support the extra cost because large ceramic capacitors are very expensive. There advantages are very low ESR and ESL, high ripple current rating, and long life. Unfortunately their large physical size combined with brittle construction creates extra reliability issues and special mounting considerations are required. I am surprised that an aerospace manufacturer would have a problem with them though.
I suppose liquid cooling - flowing right over the die - is the ultimate solution for heat dissipation.
At least with water, power densities 10 years ago already exceeded the point where film boiling is a problem so a heat spreader has to be used. We are already limited by copper heat spreaders leaving either higher thermal conductivity materials or improved heat pipes.
Because it's against the TOS, it's against the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

That does not save the person giving up their password and they were the ones who agreed to the terms of service.
There is an easy solution to this. Do what NASA did for the Shuttle engines and redefine cracks in the turbines to be a maintenance problem instead of a flight safety problem.
But Intel was able to outspend their RISC competitors on R&D, holding their ground until chips became complex enough that process and ISA independent features dominated.
Don't forget getting DEC Alpha at bargain bin discount prices.
It was not that Intel was about to outspend their RISC competitors on R&D but that they were able to outspend all of their RISC competitors combined by an order of magnitude. By the time Intel bought Alpha, which had its own litany of mistakes, they had already won.
And some cases might get re-opened because of new evidence brought to light that might benefit the wrongly accused, which would be essentially impossible to further such an investigation because of evidence being destroyed.
Why would the police care about that either? Most prosecutors certainly do not and go to great lengths to prevent review.
If years of evidence is truly worthless to the organization holding it, then why the hell did they even save it.
Often they do not. There may be statutory requirements.

Why are you not running that on a cloud server? Or on 100 using the parallel version, to get results in an hour? Broke student? Doesn't Wolfram Research offer a cloud just for Mathematica?
So uninterrupted processing on a desktop is now not supported or costs extra?
I wonder how much extra development effort it takes to make an operating system run for days at a time between reboots. How did people in the past ever do this without cloud computing services. They must have lived in the stone ages.

We discussed just such a system here on Slashdot about 4 years ago... If anything, that discussion should allow other players to implement their own without fear of stepping on UPS' patent(s).
The patent office has a very limited pool of what it considers prior art and Slashdot is not on it.

Do the added jobs include the ones lost when they shut down their oldest fab, #12, which produces 65nm and is located in ... Chandler, Arizona?

The turbine cracks seems to be more of an issue for manned flight.
Turbine cracks were not a problem on the space shuttle. NASA solved the issue but redefining them as a maintenance problem.
They basically have a built in hip-hop EQ that you can't turn off: heavy bass, ...
Hear that? I love the sound of intermodulation in the morning.

I do not disagree with anything you said. I just have run across this attitude before.
If you don't need an internet connection to render, disconnect, and Windows won't update.
If only there was some way to design an operating system which can do uninterrupted processing and browse the web at the same time.
Why are you not running that on a cloud server? Or on 100 using the parallel version, to get results in an hour? Broke student? Doesn't Wolfram Research offer a cloud just for Mathematica?
