If its on his own Plex server then the closing of the Plex Cloud Service will have zero impact on him. I purchase everything on DVD/Bluray (and some iplayer downloading as I like in the UK) and the rip it before uploading to the Plex server which lives in my house. The closing of the Plex cloud service impacts me not a bit. In my house if you want to watch a DVD or Bluray it needs putting on Plex first as I don't have a DVD or Bluray player. Also if you want to listen to a CD that will need ripping too.
And now imagine your Leaf magically had three times the range due to new battery technology. You would almost never need a fast charger. If your vehicle has a range of ~500 miles/800km and can be recharged overnight then unless you are engaged in cross continent tag team driving trips you are golden.
I would go further link it directly to aid. I further have this idea of import tariffs on goods that are not manufactured to the same enviromental protection standards as the importing nation has to level the playing field.
Most of the plastic in the oceans comes from dirty fithly people that don't dispose of it properly. Plastic that goes in a bin and ends up in landfill while not as ideal as being recycled is not actually that harmful to the environment. Its the filthy dirty people that litter the place when they have finish using it that are the problem. Personally I plan on going lifetime negative on plastic disposedmof inappropriately by the end of the year. Mostly because it is a very small amount to begin with and a couple of trips to the local beach should see me harvest substantially more than that which can then be taken home and disposed of properly.
I have not seen a six pack ring or similar here in the UK for a very long time now. They all come in cardboard, though there was a news article on the BBC in the last week about gluing them together instead. The glue breaks as you twist the cans or something
Actually the study concluded that if you *STOP* taking the pills then your biome reverted to it's previous state fairly rapidly. So clearly you need to keep taking them.
Note this was all done on healthy people as well, so tells you nothing about someone who has "gut" issues. It would be like giving penicillin to a healthy person and concluding it was of no benefit at all.
A further failure of the study is the assumption that the normal state is actually desirable.
The UK is really lucky that it is the best spot in the entire world for tidal power, which unlike wind and solar is predictable and guaranteed. At least when the tide stop being predictable and guaranteed we have bigger problems than having no electricity.
The UK could basically get most of it's energy from tidal if there was just the will to build it. Instead we get hung up about diminished salt flats for birds. Oh and the absolutely hilarious bit is that the Solway Firth is one of the better spots for tidal generation. Top spots are Bristol Channel with around 8GW, Pentland Firth with possibly as much as 20GW, the Mersey with around 1.5GW. Further being an island much of this generation can be paired up around the coast line to give fairly continuous power. Add in some additional pumped storage (there is a lot of capacity potential for that in the UK) and we are golden.
Instead we pump ~30GBP billion into a nuclear power station that would generate about one quarter the output of a tidal scheme in the Bristol Channel which would be cheaper to boot.
The E.U. Working Time directive mandates a minimum of 20 days paid leave a year. This includes any public/bank holidays.
Some nations have gone above this so for example in the U.K. it's 20 days *PLUS* bank holidays. In fact that was always the government's intention but they lost a case at the ECJ where some tightfisted employers said according to the directive it was 20 days including bank holidays.
Having lost the case the UK government simply changed the law to make it 20 days plus bank holidays. The directive is a minimum nations are entitled to go above that.
I would be political suicide for any party in the U.K. to lower the holiday entitlement now. That said at one point it was official UKIP policy to get rid of statutory maternity leave. They wanted the U.K. to join the U.S.A. and Somalia as the only countries in the entire world without statutory maternity leave!!!
Presumably because it's sort of "backup" software and therefore needs to know about the actual file system it is "backing" up to make it work smoothly. That said if you cover just ext4 and XFS that is like 99% of users covered, though perhaps the FAT files systems could be added to cover removable devices.
All other Linux file systems are either server orientated and complete minority sports, and not the target of Dropbox anyway.
But lets face it on Windows you need to support FAT in the 12/16/32 variants exFAT, NTFS in several variants and ReFS as a minimum. On macOS you have HFS+, FAT, exFAT and ADFS so similar, so hardly any worse.
A five port unmanaged 100Mbps 802.3af PoE switch delivered from Amazon will set you back just under 26GBP here in the UK. The cheapest 802.3af injector I could find would set you back 20GBP. If you want a Gigabit PoE switch they will set you back around double. Thar is hardly expensive.
I got as far as 1801-1805 "First Barbary War". Right so America decides to go to war with a bunch of real high seas Pirates that where also busy raiding the coastline of Europe and kidnapping people for slaves.
From Wikipedia; The cause of the U.S. participation was pirates from the Barbary States seizing American merchant ships and holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay tribute to the Barbary rulers.
So yes America and later Britain where wholey morally justified in giving them a through pasting. Noting that to finally put an end to their practices European powers had to occupy north Africa, something north African's in the 21st century seem reluctant to admit too. You got colonized by Europeans because you where a bunch of evil bastards who would not leave us alone, and that is the truth of it.
Gold is far from the best electrical conductor. In fact copper is significantly better, with the best conductor with a higher conductivity is silver. Gold is prized because it does not oxidize so it is great for none switching contact surfaces where both copper and silver oxidize and create high resistances. Note however silver is generally better in a switch than gold where the oxide layer can be broken through by the mechanical action of the switch and/or where an arc can be expected (anything higher than 0.5A at 11V DC).
This is the issue. So the clueless judges are saying it's find to blast away with nuclear/chemical mutation with mass genomics screening till I get the mutation I want at great expense and I don't need to label it as GMO. Noting that unless I do a full DNA sequence I will almost certainly get a bunch of other unwanted edits.
However if I make exactly the same change using CRISPR/Cas9 ir CRISPER/Cpf1 then I have to label it GMO. That just defies common sense. Then again to expect Judges anywhere in the world to grasp what is going on is asking a lot. Well it's not really asking a lot, if they don't get it they should not be ruling on it. However the percentage of judges with any scientific training is very low.
Really I think you will find what the sensor sees is what gets recorded by the camera and therefore is pretty important and will be *PRECISELY* the actual image recorded by the camera when you press the shutter.
In a mirrored camera what you see in the viewfinder is an approximation of what you will get when you press the shutter. With a mirrorless camera with a sufficiently good electronic viewfinder what you see in the viewfinder is what will get recorded by the camera.
Now we could have an argument about how good EVF are and that the mirror is better because EVF's are rubbish. However what you have written is factually incorrect period.
Ultimately ditching the mirror will lead to better photographs because the gap required between the rear of the lens and the sensor/film degrades the quality of the achievable image, especially with wide-angle lenses.
There is a reason rangefinder cameras have remained on the market despite the SLR.
The bigger issue is that BT claimed that large areas of the country where commercially unviable to upgrade to FTTC because uptake would be too low. There are places where the FTTC cabinet that BT claimed where commercially unviable where are full, have had a second one added which is now also full. There was a large amount of clawback in the subsidy scheme to break that deadlock (which has laid bare BT's utter inability to predict demand) that kicked in when uptake reached a certain percentage on a cabinet. Admittedly most of that money has then been used to enable more cabinets with FTTC so the tax payer didn't actually get more money back but did get more people connected.
Note that BT pulled exactly the same stunt 20 years ago at the beginning of the ADSL rollout, claiming there was no demand for ADSL at 512kbps download 128kbps upload. Something that looks utterly bonkers now.
The thing about going full fibre is that while there might not be a wide spread use case today this is IT, and at no point in the last 50 years has network capacity not eventually filled up. So saying it won't fill up in the future is setting yourself up to look like an idiot and the time frame to roll out fibre is such that by the time you have finished the roll out there is almost certain to be the demand.
Finally with fibre once you have the physical fibre in place getting higher speeds is a matter of simply changing the optics at either end. However nearly all the expense in rolling out full fibre is in laying the cables not the optics that go on either end.
Yes and no. A decade ago now I had the idea that you can for example detect if a cable is plugged in to the ethernet port with a microswitch at the back of the socket that is closed when you physically plug the cable in. No physical cable plugged in, power down the ethernet. You could do something similar for other sockets too, certainly USB both type A and C, as well as SD cards. What other ports do you actually need?
May be but this happened in the United Kingdom and as per Ferguson v British Gas Trading Ltd. the UK supreme court where quite scathing on the notion of a crappy computer system being an excuse under the law. If your companies computer system does bad then the company is legally on the hook.
Don't know I have had a fire safety officer make people walk past a functioning exit from the building during a drill because it was not a recognized fire exit for the building. It was electrically operated and might fail in the event of a fire. Presumably he would stop someone climbing out the window on the ground floor if there was a fire outside the room they where in.
Yeah, but in other countries socket spacing is much greater to being with, so it is not a problem. The issue is that they basically use the same case regardless of the destination country so in some countries it is sub optimal. I have a number of wall warts where the country specific plug bit actually clips off and you get a bunch of them in the box, and no there where not specifically sold as travel adaptors either.
Nice maths, shame that an AP1000 produces over 1000MW of power needing 1000 times the radiator area or 100 million square metres, which works out at an 11km diameter radiator. Oh dear...

Minix is used by Intel's AMT so hardly a hobby OS, and consequently probably more widely deployed than Linux.

Indeed spares that are no longer needed presumably because they have been superseded have been donated to NASA for repurposing in the past.
