I am 100% in favor of last mile ISP regulation back to POPs which allow free interconnect to any ISP provider. It is silly to run multiple sets of wires to each house. Instead there should be regulated wiring back to a POP supporting 25K homes. This model would allow you to subscribe to any ISP with a presence at the POP.
We have that in aus now with the NBN. Kicked out the monopoly incumbent and the government owns the line and sells it wholesale to other ISPs to retail on top of it. But you mention the government to americans and they seem to prefer corporate monopolies fucking them over.
All thats left is to give them the copious chat logs of reports from players in multiplayer and let them learn how to insult us properly. Getting told to drink bleach has never felt so real!
Would it be feasible instead to have a 2 stage vehicle? The regular electric car and the osprey design for the flying housing that it drives into. The housing has enough capacity to fly itself around without the car, but with one it needs to draw from the cars battery.
If only to avoid a pile up of housings on one side of town and none left on the other, they can fly back on their own.
Yep we do this in western australia on the reg, its required so we don't all burn down. The bleeding heart wildlife preservationists over east block attempts at controlled burns and in turn have their own homes burn down. Fucking idiots
Torrents are still the better choice. I can take them anywhere without internet, edit them how I please, using any player I wish and they come in much higher quality than the carefully crushed bitrate that netflix is willingly to pay for.
They also don't create an internet peak hour(s) due to distributed loading.
If someone replicated Steam/GOG for video files, perhaps MKV wrapped AV1 for a flat fee, that could successfully compete with free. User reviews alone would be well on the way. With that payment model, winners and losers are able to be chosen by the crowd, instead of subscriptions in which you're paying for quality 'amy schumer' specials or letting them lock 4k behind win10, intel CPUs and specific browsers.
Well, I'd like to think the working out helped my health too. I mean, I saw actual, tangible results in terms of my weight lifting ability and ability to run / cycle / climb stairs without getting winded. I don't think that would have been possible on a diet-only strategy>
Correct, but I wasn't talking about fitness level, just weightloss.
Also, I don't fully understand the biological process behind the intermittent fasting but I can only talk about my personal results, hence the YMMV. I think with a reduction in caloric intake, there's a corresponding decrease in metabolism. That is, your body realizes you're intaking far fewer calories than normal and it makes certain adjustments so going from 2,400 calories to 1,100 calories works for a while, but then your body just gets used to 1,100 so your weight loss either plateaus or slows down.
That doesn't happen. The body doesn't 'get used' to fewer kcal, it drops in response to less total mass of you demanding energy. It will never cross to 1100 kcal, even if you're a short woman. Even if you're comatose. Your organs, brain and body heat require energy and it must come from bodyfat or what you're eating.
If anybody drops their daily kcal to 1100 they will lose weight, regardless of exercise, medications, genetics, type of food, gender or even largely age. Its too few a TDEE value for the majority of adults.
Here's my routine.. DISCLAIMER: This worked for me, it might not work for you.
- Restrict diet to 1,100 calories daily. Track this via the FitBit app. If it didn't have a barcode or wasn't in the FitBit database, I didn't eat it
That was the only thing you needed to do to lose weight. And you don't need the disclaimer; it works for everybody unless they are terrible at counting kcal.
The immune system we all have is none to pleased with non-self material, getting something like that to work in your brain without complications seems pretty far fetched. And from what little I know about the current methods for the disabled, they all required unique training meaning the brain comes with all of 'you' scattered. Can't design a simple chip that hits all known points since they're not all known, 6 month 'calibration' times or whatever it might be per person is a hard sell.
as it is one of those things that you can royally fuck up if you don't know what you're doing
It feels like the entire practice of surgery is like that though. Where do you even begin to practice without risking lives? Can you trocar a chicken? Thats not a euphemism for jerking off btw I actually want to know.
A lot of people, from parents to corporations, are insisting people over eat.
Overfeeding should be considered child abuse and corporations wanting you to keep buying their food is an incredibly poor excuse.
Fault isn't always an either or. Especially in social species.
No, in this case, if people are well educated they understand exactly what happens. If you consume past your TDEE, the excess kcal is stored as fat. There is no argument here, that situation is fixed. You overeat it, you wear it.
Ah, short memories. Japan was developing its own OS and systems ages ago to fully support their language, had everything ready for delivery to their schools and universities until microsoft pressured the US gov. They hit japan with sanctions until they stopped.
There is a bigger factor than just resolution sizes when it comes the required bitrate. The amount of full screen motion and detail.
You can have a 4k size clip go on forever and require very little bitrate so long as nothing much is actually moving; the p-frames will be almost entirely black.
So the bitrate required is a function of the amount of detail/motion necessary to explain it. This makes it heavily scene dependent and the best example of this in recent memory was in Thor: Ragnarok during a fight scene within transit of the bifrost bridge. Whoever their SFX artist is for that scene, he must have sat down with every patent holder in MPEG LA and googles AV1 and said how can I best absolutely fuck your shit up? Well that was the result; an almost entirely uncompressable scene of motion and color required inordinate amounts of bitrate to explain.
I don't know how most US citizens get their power, but surely its not that expensive and is considered a utility. Why aren't data lines(fiber) treated the same?
The eat less kcal crowd are not religious, just using some simple physics. If you think you can lose weight while eating over your TDEE so long as its low carb, be my guest.
'Starvation mode' is fake, you don't experience any of that. Its just another lame excuse fat people make to keep eating above their TDEE. Your body is not fighting you, its slave to your mind and how much you decide to eat. Everybody is in full control of that and your TDEE will not drop significantly without a reduction in mass to explain it.
Personal pronouns are rarely even expressed when they don't have to be but in english they must be. It wouldn't be hard to just stick with and call it a day. Oh look slashdot eats kanji that I write, syobon
How much will compression affect picture quality during motion?
Compression is not evil, its a savior. If the bitrate wasn't present to explain the detail and motion, it will look shitty instantly. So if people aren't giving it the bitrate it needs they're at fault, not the codec.
I'll believe wind and solar energy can compete with nuclear power when people no longer refer to them as "alternative energy"
What are your thoughts on collected solar power? They are giant mirrors that track the sun to reflect it onto a tower. It heats either water or molten salt, can last overnight. Could that be just 'energy'

I think they also need to make it impossible to turn off GPS. IIRC, that's what the pilot did on flight MH370.
I rather liked their new slogan. 'Didn't have time for a shower? You'll just wash up on the beach somewhere'

Food can be very habit forming.
Glad we agree its not addictive.

Food is not addictive. Nobody is forcing people to overeat. If you're fat as an adult with education on kcal, its your fault, not the food companies.
>Microsoft was naughty

Do tell, what is 'compression rate'? Do you understand anything about bitrate and motion compression?
Ok, but framed as 'its compressions fault' instead of 'they crush the bitrate' is just irritating since codecs are fantastic from my point of view.
How much will compression affect picture quality during motion?
Compression is not evil, its a savior. If the bitrate wasn't present to explain the detail and motion, it will look shitty instantly. So if people aren't giving it the bitrate it needs they're at fault, not the codec.

Thats a horrible error since it completely ignored the more serious charge of stealing a bus.
