Now granted those three walls do have quite a bit of lumber in them, being 1/2" tongue and grove boards covered in drywall.
You sure about that? I bet they're lath boards (no tongue, no groove), supporting plaster walls (not drywall). And that might be your problem. Typically, when people with plaster walls have wifi problems it's because their walls use metal mesh lath instead of wood strips, which seems not to be your case. But plaster is also substantially denser than drywall, so I suppose that alone could result in some attenuation.
Anyway, drywall started to replace plaster in the 1950s, so newer homes don't have these problems, and really do get good coverage from a single access point.
You'd need an 800 Amp service to feed one of these and have enough left over to run the rest of your house.
You're right about the watts, but no so much about the amps. 800 amps would require ridiculously thick/stiff/heavy/expensive cable--completely impractical. What you'd actually need would be 2.5KV (or 25KV) service direct to the charger. And again, just curious, but I wonder what the cost would be...
...Tell that to anyone with a house that is more than 400 sqft.... Wifi has a range of about 100 ft indoors
Which means the range covers over 30,000 sqft. Now of course your house is not perfectly round, and your access point won't be in the exact center. But there's still plenty of margin to cover a decent-sized house.
Instead, shouldn't we be asking whether coding is really the best way to build apps in the first place?
Management has been trying to find a different way since at least the 1970s, CASE tools, 4GLs, yadda yadda yadda. Yet, somehow, in the end if you want an app working, you have to specify it down to the level of a programming language.
3. How to approach problems in an organized fashion
DING! DING! DING! Especially teaching people to break problems into manageable chunks, and construct layered abstractions. (Even if it's only 2 layers--not enough to master complex programming, but still that's a huge jump for most people.)
CNG cars can be refueled in private garages without going out... though I'm pretty sure the apparatus for that is far more expensive than a standard wall socket.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what the cost would be of installing a charger with enough wattage to "refill" at a comparable rate? Interesting thought experiment...
Strangely enough, there is this concept called THE FUCKING ARTICLE which often (but not always, this is Slashdot after all) contains useful hints about WHAT THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT.
Strangely enough, some people expect the fucking summary to both be fucking coherent, and actually fucking summarize the fucking article.
I thought Apple specifically banned interpretive languages for iOS...
Not exactly. They ban downloading and interpreting code in anything except the Javascript interpreter which they provide. So there is exactly one option for interpreting code--the one over which they have control for security issues.
US FDA/USDA-style regulatory enforcement and quality controls are practically non-existant in China. Just look at the great melamine scare a few years ago...
You realize there were actually 2 such scares? The first one, some children died, they executed the responsible executives by firing squad. Then it happened again a few years later. Talk about resilient corruption...
They e-mailed her name, address, date of birth, social security number, drivers license number and bank account information to someone else. With the first four of those, you could easily open a credit card in the person's name.
And the odds that the person whose gmail address is similar to hers will actually do that? Damned near zero.
And the attitude of the poster: "I want more than credit monitoring, but I don't know what I actually want, so somebody tell me how much I can get"? Disgusting.
Cables must be buried underground, but, facing no competition the local utility is not in any hurry to do that.
Fine. Then vote to spend 10x - 100x (depending on terrain) as much to run the cables, and raise the rates to pay for the ***HUGE*** bond issue required to implement it.
Last week, I saw a guy in line at the supermarket being punched in the mouth for trying to get an abusive customer to back off. Don't do this. Not worth the hassle. The guy who is being an asshole may also be malicious or violent.
So, because of that remote possibility, you choose to go through life being a total pansy. OK, fine. I choose otherwise. Yeah, I might get punched in the mouth--and the asshole would go to jail because I absolutely would press charges. Not just for vengeance, but to make sure that from that day forward any background check would warn others that he was malicious and violent.
Question: why do you think people believe they can get away with such behavior? Answer: because they're surrounded by pansies who have taught them that they can.
Like retail. I think everyone here as encountered at least one of those individuals where you start being ashamed that you have to share a queue with them...
So speak up and call them out on their behavior. Seriously. I do this, and it's amazing how fast they back down when the person shaming them is not an employee and cannot be fired for doing so.
Should you fire the person that is likely legally bound to make a very nonsensical call?
No. You should fire the person who is legally bound to respond to credible threats, but who doesn't have any fucking sense about what is obviously a completely non-credible threat.
Similar thing in CO a few years back, where administrators are required to deal with students who bring weapons onto campus, and/or students who use even fake weapons to threaten other students. But somehow an administrator thought that a marching band member's wooden rifle sitting in an unoccupied locked car qualified...
You fail basic logic here. It's obvious the NFL is not looking for an excuse, they are looking for "real scientists" to back up their already-made rejection of the already-made excuse from the Patriots. The last thing anybody in this case looking for an excuse would do would be to hire physicists.

I mean, who else can use a station built into a private garage?
Yeah, but who can re-fill their gas tank in their garage at night without going out?
So the comparison is tricky...
...and then cut me...
And apparently several thousand people per year seriously enough to send them to the emergency room for treatment...
As long as you can hide to the software you are debugging it, you can step by step through it until it is decrypted.
Yep. In fact, you could build a virtual machine that would automate that for you, and collect the decrypted instructions as it runs.
So, as always, "technique to prevent reverse engineering" == "snake oil"...

Sure, the code for recursive tree traversals looks so much nicer, but they have hidden stack overflow bugs.
32-bit thinking in a 64-bit world? Old habits die hard ;-)
1 and 3 are location limted.
So is 2.
...ethics does seem to say one shouldn't just haul stuff home from work, even if it is surplus junk.
WTF? Seriously???
I think you meant "the one over which they have control for profit issues"
Really. Explain exactly how disallowing alternative interpreters increases their profit.

And they should not. Giving any sort of medical advice without talking to the person directly is very risky.
Bullshit. Follow-ups with existing patients, clarification of what was said during a visit, are perfectly appropriate for email.
...at a minimum the bank should cover electronic credit monitoring for her for a minimum of a year, but I feel like that alone probably isn't enough.
Really? Exactly what damages has she suffered? Exactly what future damages do you reasonably anticipate?
I think it should be the bank's responsibility to ensure that this kind of thing doesn't happen.
Did you know that assholes like you are why our doctors will not answer even the most trivial questions using e-mail? Thanks.
The problem isn't science.
In this case, the problem absolutely is the science, which was corrupted by a powerful personality and a broken peer-review process...
