The green sources that delivers continuous power is fission/fusion. Granted this does not mean using 60+ year old reactor designs better suited to make weapons grade materials. It also means using the massive amount of heat generated to do something useful.
Might have something to do with the ridiculous pricing in the US. Every licensed installer in my state charges 6-10x the wholesale panel price and will only do a fixed bid install that is about 4x the T+M labor cost. To get any of the government subsidies you must use a licensed installer. In effect I can put up the 100 or so pannels to meet my current needs for 30k including skilled labor yet the cheapest installer it looking for 100+ with the government programs taking it back down to 80 meaning they are making 70+k on whats quoted as a 2 day job with a 5 man crew.
We need to put a stop to the installer language on the government subsidies, simply having the various trade inspectors sign off seems ample proof, but that is a whole different discussion.
Solar is good for alleviating peek load if the weather is right. It needs a storage component to deal with base load and generally be useful. It baffles me that the generally rational and stoic Germans are headed down the road of PV. It amounts to a feel good policy coupled with a hedge on the middle class and above electricity prices (as they own homes and can get the funding to install it). Mandated grid buyback effectively fleeces everybody else via higher rates as they still need to have enough peek capacity to cover peek power when solar is not producing meaning their capx does not go down.
Do not get me wrong if I had a good location for the panels I would have them up, trading a couple hundred buck electricity bill for a cheaper bank loan for 15 years is a good bet. I would effectively have a fixed electricity rate assuming my average production meets or exceeds my average use and that nobody changes the laws allowing for net meetings and forced buyback. Over that 15-20 year life-span it's reasonable to assume my electrical demand will go down via increased efficiency and automation with the only obvious demand increase being a switch to an all electric or plug in hybrid vehicle.
And when you get 10kbs a second by provider A and 5kbs by provider B with no provider C, your still screwed. Of course their own services and those of trusted partners can do 10gbps.
Oh Supermicro has plenty of fault. IPMI in general has been vulnerable in many ways since day one, far to many devices would lock up if exposed to general internet noise for to long. Since it's something you do not access often and generally them in an emergency that is a really bad combo. You might know them by the name of a DRAC or ILO card.
What use case? This sort of things should always be behind a firewall. Is it to hard to VPN in? Hell our supermicro IPMI's work rather well though a proxy on the firewall (dell and HP for that matter).
Pico cells and similar do just that create smaller and smaller cells while using the same spectrum as the towers. Devices like the airvana's do this at a tiny scale so a home or small office can put a tiny tower in and backhaul via voip. I've used larger version that were a tower just for an office building.
You need not add more wire, putting in a strand of glass to every location from a central point is worth doing as it need only be done once. Anyways the point a cell based network is to divvy it up into small segments to use the same spectrum over and over again.
As it relates to net neutrality it's all BS, beyond prioritizing an emergency services call over everything else.
It sounds like simple trademark stupidity, probably from an outside trademark protection co so they can say hey we paid these respected people to do it. It's really not that hard take down the trademark they can still say ikea etc just not use the logo or have it incorporated into the site name.
It need not be bad ram. If your not running ECC from top to bottom a stray bit of radiation etc will flip a bit every now and then. ECC lets this be detected and corrected. This can be an issue with the whole chain and is a tradeoff calculating ecc means added latency, requires buffers which in themselves give more places to have a bit flip.
Work with them for a bit assign them in a sensible manner. Been using IPv6 for a long time you remember your prefix fairly easily. I've got the ipv4 address of all my servers coded into the ipv6 address in human readable format. So I just go 2001:abcd:1234:5678::10:10:20:53 for 10.10.20.53. I do not work with desktops or "random" dhcp everything has consistent IP's.
To make it worse the data lines are used by many devices to communicate capacity of the charger so you can not just cut them (and charge about the spec 500ma). A couple company's effectively make a hardware condom that lets the charging capacity be determine but no data. Now if your device has something like a Qualcomm PM8921 that does not need the resistors it keeps pulling more power till it see's voltage drop and backs off (oversimplification), these are in the newer nexus line. Things get tricky again with USB3.1 as it's got more power negotiation, with the usb power delivery spec allowing up to 100w (5a 20v) and thats about a year out.
I just moved into Optimum territory, slightly cheaper than Comcast a bit faster inbound and night and day out (50/10 to 75/25). The free wifi with them is also better since it memorizes mac address so you never have to sign in again.
Yea because having something with zero support is something people want on there enterprise grade servers. Do not get me wrong used ZFS on top of centos to scratch and itch here and there that does not mean I'm spooling it up in production for giggles.
In my parts comcast charged 6 bucks a month, when I can go down to staples and buy a fairly good cable modem for 60 bucks that will last for years. Frankly trusting your cable co to be in charge of your wifi and firewall seems like a bad idea. It gets worse they ship these garbage routers to business setups and will insist they can not just bridge until pressed hard.
Because they would never only pay the parent company's pet provider? Your effectively trying to reinvent aol/compuserve. Since the people do not have real options your stuck with whatever you choice of a handful of providers will offer you.

Funny the electric rate in Germany has tripped and there co2 emissions are up as consumers run to other more polluting sources.
The green sources that delivers continuous power is fission/fusion. Granted this does not mean using 60+ year old reactor designs better suited to make weapons grade materials. It also means using the massive amount of heat generated to do something useful.
Strangely those other sources probably pollute far far more than the fission power plants they are replacing.

We need neutrality today and we need municipal fiber to the home tomorrow.

Yea because customs is going to inspect every package coming in from china looking for these.
Bike registration and insurance requirements. For bike riders over 21 only.

No land lines it's simply a matter of adding more/better gear. It's far harder to add more towers for wireless.

Because people do not lug the charger around with them. There are issues with plugging into random usb ports.
Have you driven anything with those eco tires the prius comes with? They have no traction the hover car might be an improvement.

Since the programs are not needed, or lawfull just can them problem solved.
