Internal APIs are part of the kernel implementation; that's why they change so often. If you're using one, you're implementing a kernel piece, and therefore creating a derived work.
The external API that is for use by non-kernel software has no such restriction. You can write any code you want that makes calls to the Linux kernel. You may not be able to _ship_ the linux kernel along with your code, if your code isn't GPL, but that's a restriction on what you can do with linux code, not with your own.
Depends on the voltage. Assuming the same total power (demand) and the same resistance (same cable), double the voltage means half the current means a quarter the resistive losses. Used to be that getting AC to and from a nice high voltage was a lot easier than DC, because we had transformers but not DC-DC converters, but now the gap has shrunk.
and if not MFJ, there's only 3 other possibilities. So they're really counting on the SSN/DOB to remain secret... except for every credit application ever.
at best, if it shows that the engineer did something wrong and it turns out they were trained to do that wrong thing, the training can be fixed. More likely however it's just to have a record of what the engineer did in their final moments.
That's one answer. Another is 1+(1/(2*pi*N)) miles north of the south pole (for integer N); you go one mile south, one mile west is N laps around the pole, and one mile north gets you back to your starting point.
Not seeing the parallel. I assume you mean "the extra cars just don't get on the road"? which means you're assuming the extra people don't have to commute...
Deposit an amount "close to" 10000 and the answer is still yes, as you will be suspected of attempting to evade the monitoring of transactions of 10k+. And then your account is seized.
2c per mile is only a win if you get less than 15mpg. Remember, this is state level, so it's likely that it'll only replace Oregon's 30 cents per gallon, leaving the federal gas tax in place.
why phone home? I have to get an emissions inspection; the inspector has to record the odometer reading. If you don't trust me to let the odometer do its job, how can you trust that any other phone-home mechanism within the car is working? Which means it's not going to be the car phoning home, it's going to be traffic cameras with license plate readers reporting everywhere car X went, from which distance traveled can be calculated.
Of course, that's still infrastructure, but it's infrastructure the cops have wanted anyway; just store the information for eternity^Wa reasonable period.
sure, but that's for pricing for a subset of the lanes, to control congestion in those lanes; it depends on there being un-tolled lanes where everyone who doesn't want to pay the express toll can sit. Doesn't seem like a match for "everyone on the road must pay their fair share".
depends on the network. Right now the process is to put the pump on a 2 node network temporarily. Sounds like he just wants to be able to do them in parallel. His listed solution is to use 16 2-node networks, but even if it becomes a 17 node network it's still temporary.
It sounds like he's only networking them long enough to update them. He brings the hardware, plugs in the pump, does his thing, unplugs. He just wants to parallelize; de-networking the pumps is still a step.
You appear to include a lot of things in the term "programming" that are not actually generating code, though they certainly make it faster/easier to generate code. GP apparently doesn't. Is that really such a big deal?
I'm not sure how increased bandwidth could make a difference beyond sheer number of tries per second. On that scale, it's (very) roughly a factor of 2 difference, so add a bit and move on, no?

flink's post below talking about linking makes more sense than mine.

the weakest side, however, is also the one with the least ability to add automatic preventatives.

your trek only takes you 1 mile from the pole. It hasn't melted that much yet.
and needs to land with a low enough velocity to keep it from being damaged too much.

Okay, so say all of your lanes are under this system. When the population increases, how is the system going to prevent an increase in congestion?
if they can't understand the difference between writing their own code and generating their own random numbers they're better off doing neither.

only if it brings the prices back down to self-serve rates...

yep, internalizing costs that used to be externalized always sucks.

oh, never mind, I see what you mean. Not through the play store, through firefox's plugin browser.
the only ublock I see on the play store is for phone calls. Did the plugin get removed in the same sweep as adblock, maybe?
Ah, my bad. I thought you were disagreeing with his definition of "programming", but you're disagreeing with his definition of "work". Gotcha.
