Since every time I tried that it caused weird issues every week or so I would hazard a guess that next to nobody does that, yeah. At least not on Windows. But even if you do SSDs can handle that load. 1 PB/3TB = 300 years (or 100 if you count 16GB of non-hibernate writes per day). Thus the cell wear is not your most likely problem.
I do comprehend you point, I just feel that it is irelevant and try to explain why.
If you get down to it there is no such thing as natural right. You may have that right but unless you are physically stronger then the one who tries to violate that right you are going to need someone to protect that right. The government provides that someone, mostly by punishing those who violate that right. Without the government that right is useless. If someone stronger then you tries to murder you there is no use shouting "you shouldn't because it is my right not to be murdered". That won't stop them. The fear of repercussions from the government usually does that, combined with the culture that was created by it and that created it (that is a two way street).
So for each of the so called natural rights the government grants you protection from violation. I see no difference from the government granting that right in the first place.
As for the government taking that protection away: they won't. Not without due process. If they would they wouldn't get re-elected or probably even sued by the next government. However it does happen. There have been many cases in history where groups of humans have no protection for their natural rights. Slavery is an example for it. The way the Uyghur were (or are, I don't know exactly) treated in China is another example. Somalia is a third. What good does their right do? Your government protects you against such behavior, which sadly seems to be in most humans.
In many states of the US that is true: after due process you can be sentenced to death. In the parts of the world where death sentences are not possible they are only prevented by laws. Laws can be rewritten. Now that doesn't mean that you really risk losing that safety. Due process means that, bar mistakes, you have done something that causes society to feel you shouldn't enjoy that right. In the other case: laws aren't easily changed. Especially not such high profile laws as death sentences. No one will seriously propose an amendment to the law that prevents murder "Except for when the victim is SillyHamster" and if they do they'll be laughed at. And even if that would, for some weird reason, not happen the law would be against the constitution, as all constitutions have lines against such laws. Thus the law would not be legal. Now constitutions can be changed as well, but that means that a lot of people have to agree with that change. All in all there are systems in place to prevent such a law.
Please grow up and look into the stuff governments do. You want to have a fire department don't you? You want road maintenance don't you? Guess what, these sort of things ain't free. The government pays for them. For that they need money, in the form of taxes.
That would be beautiful! You wouldn't have to pay the loan back because you never agreed to it. They are, however, allowed to give you that car without you buying it.
I use it that way. A to do list that others can put items on. My boss mails me "Do x for project Y". I read it, then I either do it directly or mark it as unread and do it later. Unread mails still require an action, whether it is reading it or doing what it says. Incredibly useful, even with current email interfaces.
Labels can be made hierarchical in Gmail. In day to day use the only difference is that a mail (or more precisely, a conversation) can only be in one folder but can have multiple labels.
Nope. A single spot so I can search in it. Not some far away archive that I can't search in or a dozen non-backupped local archives (yes I am looking at you, Outlook). Just an inbox with backups and a decent search function. Sadly I don't know of such a client. Gmail search sucks because it can not handle word parts. Maybe Inbox is something for me but I fear it may still use the same crappy search.
Auto threading rules. There is no sense in treating each message as a separate object while it is usually part of a conversation. It just shouldn't use the subject text. It should use the message ID's.
Post offices and phone companies aren't even ALLOWED to inspect the content, bar a few very specific cases. For postal companies this means: undeliverable and without return adress.
And neither should ISP's be. They are no different so why should they be allowed to inspect the contents of a package?
That excludes more than you know. Many elements are slightly radioactive. For example, lead is approximately 1,4% lead-204. If you really want to work without radioactive isotopes you gotta spin up the centrifuges.
As great as any new technology is, I hope this is antiquated by law changes before the technical application machines become practical.
How's that? Assuming it does decrease the ability to drive then it would be the same as driving drunk: illegal, stupid and dangerous. I just hope they start checking for it here in the Netherlands.
If the article is correct it's only useful for checking transit events. The article talks about "a target star". "A star" has a low probability of having a planet in an orbit that gives transit events. Depending on the orbit of the planet it is next to 0 to 10%. That is why the expensive systems check many stars at once. Kepler monitors 145,000 stars at once
That doesn't mean much. NASA always lacks money to do awesome stuff. So I feel that cost is a good metric here:
Kepler monitors 145,000 stars and costed $600,000,000. That means $4,138 per star This costs $300 + $100 + some work = +/- $500 per star. If the same software could be used then it might be possible to check more stars with a single DSLR. Maybe even a hundred. That means $6 per star (naively assuming his setup is sufficient for large scale deployment)
I say: if and when Kepler dies we should stick a couple of them on every observatory we have and have full time monitoring across the planet. False positives drop with more data. False negatives would still require different detection methods since most exoplanets don't transit. However if we have this set up we might be able to add thousands of spectrometers to it to detect Doppler shift events. Then the only planets with low detection chance are the ones where we look directly on the top (or bottom) of their orbit.
And, very importantly, is now untreatable. "Sorry, just suck it up" isn't something a doctor likes to say to someone in real pain. It's not always "tingling" or pins and needles.
That it is selective is a great pro. You don't want someone with strong phantom pain in their severed hand to loose the other hand due to an infection that wasn't noticed because the painkillers stopped the important signal with the phantom one. Missing one hand is already problem. Missing two is an unimaginable problem (at least, I can't imagine it).
In all the cleanrooms I have been in face masks have been required. Human breath has a lot of water droplets in it. How are you going to get a face recognition off someone in clothes like this? The employees are not allowed to take off their face mask for a scan. Suggesting it would get you laughed at and fired at the places where I worked.
Just use RFID scanners with the access badges they already have or with RFID bracelets like mentioned in other posts. For additional security: have a guard at the door. Once an employee checks in have him verify that it's the right person with a picture on his screen. Or facial recognition there. Before the face mask goes on.
That doesn't work linearly. It's the square root of 10: 3.16
Ten times the density means 3.16 times the amount of tracks beside each other and 3.16 times the amount of bits per track. If the head still reads only one track that means the amount of bits it can read in a given time is 3.16 times as high. Not 10.
Why use unreliable 15k drives for backups when you can just use 7k2 dives for the same price and sequential speed but far more room? Sequential speed is not just spindle speed, it's also a result of density. Sequential speed increases with the square root of the density increase. A 2x as big disc with the same spindle speed will be 1.4 times as fast sequentially. A 4x as big disc will have twice the sequential speed.
Thus a 4x as big 7k2 disk will have almost the same sequential speed as a 15k drive, but with 4 times the room. Of course you should still stick them in a suitable RAID.
With CNG I can fill up at home. It'd be like installing a high current plug except I'd pipe NG to a compressor and let it fill up my car.
Here in the Netherlands some cars drive on LPG (Liqified Propane Gas). It is easy to do in a petrol car. The gas mains to the houses provides a mixture with mainly methane. You wouldn't be able to run the same car on that. Both gasses are "natural gas"
The next galaxy is insanely far away anyway. The next star is already insanely far away. This galaxy supports life, as is evident. This gives us ample alien races to talk to, if we ever manage to cross the massive distances involved even within our galaxy.

Nah, it's more of a squishy splat, like you always get if you hit well sauced spaghetti with a spoon.

Sorry. I didn't know methane was also used to run cars. I should have researched better.
This is an opportunity that doesn't bypass them, like home charging stations do.
Fastned is building chargers at ordinary highway side fuel stations in the Netherlands. They don't want to bypass them.
With CNG I can fill up at home. It'd be like installing a high current plug except I'd pipe NG to a compressor and let it fill up my car.
Here in the Netherlands some cars drive on LPG (Liqified Propane Gas). It is easy to do in a petrol car.
The gas mains to the houses provides a mixture with mainly methane. You wouldn't be able to run the same car on that.
Both gasses are "natural gas"
