- Distributed large scale generation, check - Nationwide electricity grid, check - Transformer substations for local distribution, check - Wiring to every building, check - Wiring to streets, check (i.e. street lighting, traffic lights, signage etc.) - EV charging points, in progress
So basically 99% of the infrastructure is there, we just need to add some special charging sockets and some rapid charging stations to finish it off. Not even the last mile, the last few metres from the distribution board or nearest lamp post in most cases.
And of course you can actually charge from a bog standard 120V outlet at around 200 miles/night. If your daily commute is less than 200 miles (i.e. you do less than about 80k/year) your garage probably already has adequate infrastructure. It's apartments and the like that need a bit more.
On the one hand, there are real dangers and threats to be angry about. For example, now there is an opportunity to appoint a new supreme court judge there is a risk to women's bodily autonomy and to gay people's rights.
On the other hand, progressive and left leaning candidates have been unseating hard right incumbents all over the place. The anger and protest is proving effective it seems.
This round of elections will be extremely interesting to see.
He did. When asked about it he said it was his "standard response", and other journalists have confirmed that he has sent the same message to them.
He's adopted Trump's attacks on the media and, as he is famous for, taken them to an extreme that gets him attention. He then hand waves them away as not serious, trying to absolve himself of any responsibility for the words he uses.
Then they're not facts, and you refute them with actual facts. Duh.
That's not the problem. Politicians love to cherry pick facts that support their ideology. That's what Kellyanne Conway meant by "alternative facts", things that are true but carefully selected to mislead the listener.
As a result people have stopped believing arguments even when they have facts to back them up. They think that it's legitimate to just google some alternative facts that support their views and that makes them right.
That comment was about the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" participants. Here is the transcript:
REPORTER: The neo-Nazis started this thing. They showed up in Charlottesville.
TRUMP: Excuse me, they didn't put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group â" excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down, of to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
Trump is saying that some of the Unite the Right protesters were "very fine people" despite their decision to associate and march with people openly displaying swastikas and chanting "blood and soil" while holding their burning torches and wearing 1488 t-shirts.
In any case, the bigger issue was his failure to swiftly and completely condemn the nationalists. If you can't even say "Nazis are bad" or "I dislike people who want to create an ethnostate in the US" then there is a problem. To be fair to Trump, he probably doesn't like those people and doesn't agree with them, but because parts of his base are associated with them or share some of their views he won't directly condemn them.
Even if you have that much redundant flash memory it does nothing to handle controller failure. The only way to get multiple redundant controllers is multiple cards.
This is one reason why people use BluRay for archival storage. The storage media is separate from the reader electronics and you only need to preserve one. They are also immune to electrical problems like static damage and don't use undocumented, proprietary data formats.
I guess they are aimed at people shooting 8k video. Currently there are some proprietary formats for 8k cameras. Red make some that are SSD based but they only manage about 250MB/sec read speeds so take a while to transfer the footage to the editing machine.
Linus Tech Tips did a video about it recently. You might think 250MB/sec is pretty fast but when you are shooting 8k video every single day it becomes a bit of a bottleneck. And also, it's expensive because it's Red's proprietary format.
This is one of the reasons why 8k has taken so long to arrive. 4k wasn't too much of a demand on existing editing and storage hardware, but 8k60 and especially 8k120 with decent compression ratios need a lot of new tech. Faster storage and processing, new workflows (most editing is done in 1080p or 4k for performance reasons, then rendered from the original 8k files), and of course new cameras.
Actually it's due to increasing demand for flash memory. Phones, computers, smart devices like TVs and speakers, car infotainment systems, SD cards and more all use larger and larger amounts of flash memory.
It's expensive and difficult to set up new factories to compete with the established ones making 3D NAND flash on cutting edge processes, so there isn't enough competition to offset the demand and keep prices falling.
Same thing happened with RAM. Demand from phones in particular made the price go up a lot. Manufacturers put more of their resources into low power mobile DDR4 so desktop DDR4 supplies were hit.
I have never in my life ever heard of any type of malware or code that can be written that can :
"Be removed with human assistance" that cannot be removed by a program.
Those have been around for over a decade.
They work by replacing some core part of the OS, like the SATA driver or the filesystem driver. That makes it impossible for anti-virus software to clean the infected files, because the rootkit can block writes to those files and hand the AV software clean copies when it scans them. They operate at such a deep level, running inside the kernel, that the best AV software can do is detect their secondary effects and try to suppress them.
The only way around this is to manually boot from a recovery CD and replace the infected files. Some AV companies provide bootable CDs that can run their software. The best ones use Linux because the Linux NTFS driver just ignores permissions and lets them access those system files and delete them. Then you can use a Windows install disk or the Windows 10 recovery system to replace them and get the system running.
It's a manual process, the rebooting from CD/USB drive and then running the Windows recovery can't be automated.
Actually Linux is more vulnerable than Windows to this kind of attack because most Linux systems do not implement any kind of secure boot procedure.
These rootkits work by replacing some parts of the OS that are loaded very early in the boot process, things like core SATA drivers needed to read in the rest of the OS or parts of the kernel. That makes them very hard to detect and remove, because any software running on the OS that tries to read those files can be supplied with a clean copy by the rootkit. Even the kernel can't easily figure out if the SATA driver or the filesystem handler is really giving it the true data or a fake copy.
Windows mitigates this by implementing Secure Boot. This is something that is part of the UEFI spec and which Linux users got upset about when it looks like some devices might not let you load your own keys. Modern Windows systems supplied by PC/laptop manufacturers have a Microsoft key in the UEFI that is used to verify the OS boot files have not been altered by a rootkit before loading them. Microsoft requires OEMs to implement it for Windows 10.
Other Windows installs, particularly older ones people do themselves, might not have Secure Boot enabled and so are vulnerable to this kind of attack. Linux systems very very rarely use Secure Boot so are almost always vulnerable to.
In both cases (Linux and Windows) some kind of root exploit is needed to alter those files in the first place. The difference is that a Windows system with Secure Boot can detect it and recover those files from a hopefully clean backup copy that normally no level of privilege allows to be corrupted. On Linux you would have to somehow notice yourself what has happened and fix it manually with a boot disk.
They want hydrogen cars to be big because they missed the boat on battery electric and a lot of the basic tech is now owned by other companies. They are facing either having to delay their EVs to wait out the patents or pay royalties, and all the while need to do their own EV R&D to avoid falling further behind.
Battery electric has already won. We already have 99% of the infrastructure in place.
I keep hearing a lot about how terrible Antifa is, but have they actually murdered anyone? Do they drive cars into crowds? Do any of them honestly think that there is a war on and that killing the other side is justified?
Because that's the level of batshit we have from the far right. It's another level entirely, and order of magnitude away from the worst I've ever seen Antifa do.
When people are trying so hard to equate clearly very different things like this, you have to ask what they are trying to hide. And in this case it's not even a difficult question to answer, because the violence and murders and Nazism are overt and well publicised. It's not distraction, it's gaslighting.
The sad thing is that Twitter doesn't censor political views. There are plenty of extremists on Twitter. It's only harassment that gets people banned and tweets deleted.
Of course they make mistakes. But mistakes are not evidence of a conspiracy to oppress certain political views.
Unfortunately some people who make a living from being outraged and fake oppressed have pushed this lie hard for years now, and it's starting to intrude on people's perception of reality. Being banned for political views has become a new form of martyrdom for some extremist movements, but because Twitter doesn't ban people for political views they have to keep violating the rules and then spin it as politically motivated.
It seemed pretty clear he was talking about actual Nazis... Being a member of the American Nazi Party isn't a requirement, and in fact many of them are not because of political divisions.
Seems odd that you want to avoid calling people Nazis when they are very clearly proud Nazis. Can you explain why that is? Surely it can't just be that you want the word Nazi to only refer to the movement of the 30s/40s, and if it then at least you can see that calling them cunts is somewhat non-specific and doesn't really help us talk about that particular group.
The actual paper speculates that all devices since 2012 "may" be vulnerable. There is an app you can download to test, but it's not clear what it actually does.
So what are we supposed to call people who display Nazi symbols, chant Nazi slogans, support Nazi ideology, lionize Nazi leaders and and call themselves Nazis?
By the way, according to your definition of SJW, she wasn't one. Her concerns were animal welfare and degeneracy, an odd mix of progressive and alt-right.
I'm surprised that they even allow cameras to be moved between an accounts, I mean where is the profit in allowing used camera sales?
The warning message was useless and probably not "ignored". Ordinary person buys a new camera and sets it up. App gives a random error message that doesn't make any sense (it's brand new, they haven't paired it yet) and doesn't explain anything. Happens all the time, buggy apps, try clicking through. Okay, it works, great.

Does AV software having the ability to push UEFI modules sound like a good idea?
Do you think he wants to make America white, or is his racism just driven by monetary considerations? I don't know enough to say.
Are you equating BLM with Nazis? Associating with the former doesn't seem to be equivalent to the latter.

Most professional emails aren't that professional... There is one recruiter who always starts his with "I hope you are well?"
I feel like replying "do you?"

SpiderOak is good for Linux. It can only cover your data, apps will need to be reinstalled but at least on Linux that's fairly easy.

Laughing is so naughties. These days people just say "lol".

They call it "hiding their power level", a Dragon Ball meme. Use alternative iconography and coded messages, that sort of thing. Still Nazis though.
