Nothing about obeying the party line and everything about using the correct channels to vent your grievances. Given this made international news it is somewhat obvious that the correct channel wasn't used.
Only if you read the title but not the summary. There's nothing out of the ordinary here. You are free to discuss breaches of code of conduct providing your discussion doesn't breach the code of conduct itself.
Use internal grievance processes, especially relevant in a company this size. Don't write a memo and send it to everyone.
if only there were a way to tell which direction was north without some sort of device....
Oooh do you know a method? I've heard that you can use this thing called the sun, but I only saw the sun once this year briefly when it wasn't overcast, and I live far enough north that it neither rose in the east nor set in the west.
I don't slow down in my pickup truck for speed bumps. I think the effectiveness of fake speed bumps depends greatly on what kind of suspension your car has and how little you give a fuck.
Some general advice: Whenever you say "When I do something in [insert american car here], remember that it is unlikely to apply outside of America."
Many european cars are smaller than American gokarts, and yes you most definitely want to slow down for speedbumps:)
Now for an airline, that might make sense on a large scale because they'll reap millions a year in savings, but for consumers it's barely a blip on the radar.
So, I'm assuming she doesn't want any government subsidies for anything at all
I think we should take all these free market idiots and give them a country of their own. Put them on some island in the middle of no where and let them build it up themselves. With a common ideology they shouldn't end up with a government redistributing wealth of driving any kind of policy.
This is great if you're in a village of 20 people, but what we really need to do is put them ALL there. Make the population big enough until the disagreements start. I wonder if they will enjoy the government they end up with after they castrate democracy.
So what you're saying is your academic qualification system is flawed in that it caps out and grades top tier applicants equally so they can no longer be distinguished on academic merit, and that rather than your most academically excellent minded youngsters being put forward you've reduced it to a popularity contest.
It's losing on economics. A lot of subscription based media is incredibly light and generic. It either lacks depth or lacks coverage for it's value. Media which retains great quality and depth are the ones that are surviving. Media that forces people to compliment itself with other media the fails.
So it really is just a case of the government quoting a figure they have no intend to support right? If it were a pure volume thing then now would be a good time to spend $10000US on bolivars in the black market and then go convert them back through the official channels.
There's two problems with this. To be useful you need a lot of storage for it. With super capacitors still only having 1/10th of the energy capacity you need to effectively dedicate the size and weight of your existing lithium battery pack just to the capacitors for a 1/10th improvement in charging speed. The economics of that doesn't make sense. It would make sense in regenerative breaking (and I'd actually be surprised if they aren't used there already to ensure as much energy as possible is captured).
The other problem is the connection. Electrons don't come out of nowhere. For example the current largest petrol station in the UK (a truck stop with several shops on a major highway) has a 340kVA connection to the grid (I know this because it's one of ours). Just a couple of superchargers with existing tech will draw far more power than this does which already presents a major problem when installing them. In addition using existing lithium batteries, the consortium in the EU looking at building a bloc wide fast charging network are talking of 350kW chargers (double of what the current superchargers are capable of). While I have no idea what Tesla is proposing for their next gen supercharger, this consortium is exploring all sorts of weird and wonderful systems including watercooling the cables connected to the car during charging.
In the UK currently the average time spent on the forecourt is around 7min. With a 350kW charger that would give you plenty of range. Combine that with a rest room stop and a quick snack you can almost fully charge your car with lithium cells. So while the idea of instant charging via supercapacitors sounds great it ignores the infrastructure and also may not be as critical to widespread adoption of EVs as people make it out to be.
What is the source of heat? The airpods as it is have all the volume and amplification circuitry already. That would be 99% of the heatload. Playback of music is cheap processor wise and can be done on even some of the cheapest and smallest available consumer microcontrollers to say nothing of the custom hardware driving the airpods currently.
Not at all. Many forms of information have always been available for free. The big difference is now the breadth of information available, and I say this as someone who still subscribes to a few quality sources of very specific and exclusive pieces of information.
Of course they would until the point of saturation.
Subscription based media survived on dedicated interest in specific topics. The internet is not that, not at all. The internet is a wealth of all information, and the vast majority would disappear if we forced it down this path.
While you're at it, it's worth remembering why many of these subscription based media (especially generic ones covering wide topics) have failed recently, and why there are still survivors (mostly limited to very specific topics).
Agree, the GP is a dick. Super-capacitors have a very high power density but not a very high energy density. They are very good for burst systems but not so good for storage of energy. They already have places in transport but mainly in hybrid systems such as regenerative breaking systems where it is important to capture a lot of energy and release it quickly. It can do this with an order of magnitude more power and an order of magnitude more often than the best lithium batteries currently on the market.
What they aren't good at is long term storage with with lithium batteries providing 10-30x the amount of energy per kilogram, a critical specification for storage systems in electric cars.
It would be far more useful to have another Internet with no advertising at all even if we had to pay for it.
Except people wouldn't. The vast majority of what we take for granted is supported by a model of advertising because we don't use the internet for a single thing. If I only wanted to get news from one paper I would subscribe to that paper. I don't and I sure as hell won't be paying $1 to 1000 different people every month.
You can't actually find stuff on the Internet any more,
You misspelt "I". Don't project your inability to use the internet on everyone else. There is far more information out there in a far more easily accessible manner with far better search tools than there ever was before. I have no desire to ever go back to the "old" internet, and advertising has nothing to do with the content or our ability to search for it, other than being an enabler for more content.
Yes I want an internet that is secure by default. No this does not involve the carriers.
This right here! There's been lots of talk about security by design or security by default, but none of it has ever involved the carriers or middlemen. I think the OP fundamentally misunderstood the debate.
mmmm doesn't match my experience. Maybe there's different causes and effects. I have a horridly expensive mouth, I've had 5 root canals, and 3 implants. None of my root canals have been instigated by any pain I experienced before going to the dentist, and all were done without anesthesia and I didn't feel anything significant at all.
They were all done to prevent the dead teeth from rotting internally by replacing everything other than bone with something stable. One of my implants was due to not doing a root canal in time and I went to the dentist when I noticed I could wiggle my tooth slightly with my hand. X-ray showed an infection under that tooth which was too far gone, had to be pulled and the neighbour got root canal.

And this is what happens when you entrust your data to someone else's server.
That's not a given. To generalise for the vast majority of the industry: In most cases someone else is far better and managing my data than I am.
Making it something that need to be explicitly enabled is fine
To be clear you are advocating that someone needs to explicitly enable security?
That is just some authoritarian asshole enforcing their view of how the world should be.
Are you talking about the developers or the hackers and researchers who broke the previous systems?
It also does not make people more secure compared to making it something that needs to be enabled.
Don't smoke weed and post on Slashdot.

Fake and alternate is something that did not exist before 2016. It previously was split into mainstream, non-mainstream, and utter bullshit.
Labeling all of traditional media as fake is incredibly ignorant.
For all intents and purposes, compared to the rest of the US government he is.
Local politics must be viewed in a local context or you're racing to mediocrity if not to the bottom.

Just because somewhere else in the world is an unbearable shithole doesn't mean one should accept a mediocre government back home.
