Most home networks are 1Gbps ethernet so unless you won't go faster than that on a single port or even your whole network depending on your switch configuration. You need beyond consumer-level network gear to enjoy the full 10Gbps. As for WiFi, it is a joke at these speeds. Now, even if you have a 10Gbps connection straight to your computer, what will you do with it? Watch movies? That's a few tens of Mbps at best, peanuts. Transfer files... now we are talking, but you better have a SSD or a nice RAID array, because most mechanical hard drives run at about 100MB/s or 1Gbps. Heck, SATA3 only goes 6Gbps, so that's an internet connection faster than most SSDs. Even your computing power can be limiting : 10Gbps is quite fast for all but the most basic kind of processing. I sincerely don't see a use for a 10Gbps home connection unless you are running servers on it, or host a whole community of bandwidth hogs. The radiologist in the example is the edgiest of the edge cases. He has a remote location that can support more than 1Gbps but he can't work online, he also has a computer and home network that support such a speed and a workflow that makes a 7 second delay matter...
Power capacity doesn't mean much for wind/solar. That's just the sum of the peak power outputs when the sun is high and the wind blows just right. There is no way we can turn up the sun to meet demand. Compare it to fossil fuel plants or dams where the capacity factor can be controlled to some extent by choosing to burn more or less fuel or by managing the water reservoir level.
We need to compare compare energy (not power) output to get a meaningful result, and this is where the new problem for solar/wind lies. When these uncontrollable power sources take up a large fraction of the global power output, it becomes harder to meet demand. Germany, for instance, is building new, more adjustable coal plants to complement their renewables. They also turned off their nukes, which makes sense since nukes are best suited for base load rather than to absorb the variations of wind/solar.
That's part of the reason they are using 60 GHz. A frequency range has a limited bandwidth. Using Shannon theorem, the maximum bandwidth for the 2.4 GHz range is around 30MBps per dB of SNR total. No matter in how much channels you divide the spectrum, you won't be able to beat that. It's either a lot of small bandwidth channels or a few large bandwidth ones. Passed some point, the only solution to increase the bandwith is to increase the spectrum and that's what they are doing with 5 GHz and now 60 GHz.
Well, there is another solution and it's beamforming. The idea is that instead of broadcasting everywhere, you create a narrow beam just for your target. On a primitive level, that's how antenna dishes work and it improves the signal/noise ratio. This is the idea behind MIMO and similar technologies.
It is a roadable aircraft. And it is not the first. It is not the sci-fi type flying car since it can only take of and land on a suitable airstrip. So yes, it is a plane you can drive. I think it is mostly made for private pilots.
Legality is a problem because it has to be both street-legal and airworthy. The Terrafugia Transition did it by bending the rules a little. The airplane part is under the light sport aircraft rules but got an exemption because they couldn't meet the maximum weight criteria.
I don't know the name of this bias but when someone invests a lot in something, he will tend to convince himself that he made the right choice. That's how audiophiles will clearly notice the effect of their $1000+ cables and will consider it money well spent whereas the one who used zip chord will probably be less satisfied, even though he paid 100x less for the same objective result.
The Wii wasn't just underpowered, it was outdated before it came out. Compared to the PS3 and X360, it was so weak (no HD...) that it significantly affected the game experience. Yeah, plenty of good games, but it doesn't excuse the blurry mess. You have to live with your times, Nintendo. The other consoles are fine. The WiiU clearly isn't on the level of the PS4 and XBone but at least, it's HD so it doesn't look too jarring when coming from the competition. And it has the excuse of being the first to market.
So let's see what happens with the new console, but I don't want another Wii.
Most large SSDs are faster than their smaller models of the same series, so yes, there some quasi-RAID going on. But it doesn't explain the 8x difference. At the very best, it should be 4x.
Anyone who can use a GUI can use a terminal. Many people don't want to because it is not sexy (I understand them) but it is actually more straightforward than a GUI. Think of it as giving orders to your computer. Anyway, now, most Linux distributions can be used without a terminal, just like Windows and OSX. The terminal is still there for power users, but then again, just like Windows and OSX. I still think that Linux on the desktop has many shortcomings but the terminal is not one of them.
How many letters are we going to add to this acronym? We only have 26. Fetishists are left out and they may make it soon. We'll probably have to wait quite a bit for necrophiles, pedophiles and zoophiles to make it.
Twitter isn't designed for discussion. It is meant for people to say whatever they want and if others find it interesting, they can choose to listen. It is one directional.
And it is only angry if you like to listen to angry people. But if you, for example, are interested in space and follow NASA, ESA and a few space nuts, you will likely be totally unaware of all that SJW and anti-SJW bullshit. And I'm sure that people who sell space-related stuff would love to be in your feed.
While I don't think that the number of papers is a good way to measure the advancement of research I am thinking that China may be in a better position than the US for AI research. They are more than a billion, they don't care as much about privacy as we do and, should their project be regarded as interesting by the government, they can get people working for them for free (internship,...). And when we consider that a significant part of AI is gathering data, the sheer number can prove a significant advantage. They are already using this advantage for mass production, so why not for AI?
You can still use your 5 year old devices, they won't spontaneously explode. I heard that they recently contacted Samsung in order to find a way to fix this problem.
Real ridesharing/carpooling is popular in Europe. The market is mostly taken by Blablacar. Uber, which mostly market its high end offers, is not as popular by comparison.
The good thing about the clit/nipple/trackpoint is that you don't have to move your hands away from the keyboard. For Thinkpads, the keyboard is the primary input device so it makes sense.
The difference in philosophy is obvious just by looking. Thinkpads have a very nice keyboard and a small touchpad on the bottom for those who really want one. Macbooks have a nice big touchpad and a keyboard that is preliminary designed to be as thin as possible rather than for comfort. Lenovo also made an external device out of their keyboard while Apple did the same out of their touchpad.
