It was also extremely accurate, when the electric company bothers to compensate for drift. In my experience all these quartz china clocks run fast, some a few seconds and others gain a whole minute a week. It's like having a different time zone in every room (:
Just going by random street views on google maps, the trees look pretty short down there. I see many without tops. Those frequent winds you get sort of keeps the problem at bay. Up here winds like these are rare, so the trees keep growing up and up with nothing to stop them. When the winds do come they are tall and break or fall over. It is rare enough that disruptions like this are tolerated.
As for building codes, things like hurricane ties are now a requirement here. But the problem with this storm is not direct wind power but all the trees falling down onto wires and homes.
Don't know what a bomb cyclone is, but in the 'North East' region of the US a storm that tracks up the coast as this one did is called a Nor'Easter. Generally around here storms that take this track are above average regarding impact, although it is usually just a lot of precipitation and a little wind - this was the opposite with the sustained winds being the predominant factor.
Burying lines on new development is relatively easy compared to burying existing infrastructure. You have to deal with crossing under roads, driveways, and sidewalks. You have to avoid existing buried telephone, internet, cable, water, sewer, and gas lines. You have to deal with homeowners that don't want their yard and shrubs dug up. Dealing with all this is a headache, time consuming, and expensive as hell compared to just repairing an existing overhead line every couple years.
Maybe in your little town sure, but according to PECO's own outage map southeast PA still has 123,715 people without power as of 9:38 on Sunday. They have a real-time outage map that anyone can look at, it shows just how widespread the problem is with 3,209 individual outages; each of those outages is marked on the map, the amount of damage is really impressive.
How about more cars = more pollution? I am by no means a tree hugger but having a second taxi fleet that is also pulling people off public transit just seems wasteful towards the environment.
Except for one thing, you forgot the $100,000,000.
The only way I see this making any sense is if the current Hawaiian electrical infrastructure simply can not supply the demand of these added air conditioners. Otherwise it is just a publicity stunt all while Tesla once again sucks away on the tit of the taxpayer funded government.
Dear fellow reader, I am worried you are developing a memory problem: Re:Defective (Score:1) - January 8 as you already knew this at some point in the past. You might want to consult your physician.
Just look at the benefit of using an always connected internet camera and monitor in place of any mirror in the home. What could possibly go wrong.
They obviously want to get rid of the mirror protruding on the sides of the car. They will also not have to worry about sight lines out the rear window (those roof pillars keep getting thicker due to safety requirements).
Also remember that things in a mirror are always reversed, if they don't keep it that way it will lead to some problems for all but the noob driver.
Thats ok, because by then the steering and brakes will be drive-by-wire as well. The fail safe will be for the brakes to auto-apply without power, but I guess you are sort of stuck with the steering wherever it is when the power fails. yep, this is all for the better good.
It will probably all be engineered wood. It will have so much glue and additives in it that it will even be fireproof and waterproof, bugs certainly won't like it.
Now it is a video, but when I was there earlier it was just a picture of the painting. Since this is how internet news seems to work nowadays, I dunno if they updated it or if the video was sponsored by an ad that of course gets blocked on my end.
The article claims different for this particular painting, however they only show a picture of the final painting and of the x-ray machine in front of the painting. They don't show the x-ray scan of what is underneath, so it is hard to actually prove it by using this article. Unless my ad blocker is somehow hiding it, you would think the article would actually show the x-ray to prove the point.
It will be a $3 coupon good only towards a future Intel processor, which may actually be a fixed version, the kicker is it will be $30 more than current prices to cover the class action lawyer fees. You'll also need a new motherboard with that, oh and they changed the memory design again. Yep we are all winners here.
Knock off this nonsense. One day you will furnish your concrete cave, or at least build a kitchen in it. At which point those cabinets and furnishings are wood, cloth, and plastic. But hey if you want your concrete bunker to be your scorched concrete tomb, by all means don't worry about safety.
It is not about not hiring the best people, it is more about hiring people that are smart but perhaps not as experienced with what you want to achieve.
The best people are well trained, they have been there and done that, the problem with this is that they already have preconceived notions of how to solve a problem. You do not get true innovation unless you have people that have not been there, and have not done that. These are the people that may have a different idea for achieving a solution, and that is where true innovation comes about.
That is because every major update of android pretty much requires new hardware. Either because they are lazy to support old hardware, don't bother trying to allow major software updates, or just rely on the manufacturer (which is obviously lame).
Regardless you are pretty much stuck with whatever major revision came with your end product because only new hardware sales drive adoption of these major releases. Android is a make-it-and-forget-it product, it is the epitome of built-in obsolescence.
A lot of it is not by choice, I had a family member that wound up with them after they bought up a smaller bank. I'm guessing more than half their customers were obtained in this way.
Its hard and tedious to do, but as soon as your bank changes names, find someone else.
The other part about banks being 'bought out' or 'merging' is that the FDIC intentionally hides that a bank is bankrupt until the change over of customers to the other bank is completed, so that there isn't a run on the bankrupt bank. My favorite bank went down like this because one of its members of the board forced the loan officer to authorize normally bad loans to his buddy corporations - of course they defaulted and it ruined the bank.
Pretty sure the OP meant corporate death penalty. They lose their status as a corporation, and all protections against liability that it includes.
Ideally it would basically make all shareholders members of a basic partnership, they would share in all expenses and liability that the corporation previously incurred - the partners wouldn't be able to get out fast enough plus no one would be willing to buy their share of the partnership. This would be better than imprisonment IMO.
Since this is a bank however, things get tricky as you can't have citizens losing their savings. In this case you'd have to treat it like the FDIC does a bankrupt bank - due the shear size of the bank it would become a circus trying to divide the customers up to other banks.
Some jobs like public safety shouldn't get a second chance. They had ONE job, and failed on multiple levels - the whole department should be replaced and internal policies evaluated.
will be highlighted in high-profile displays, which are 12 feet tall and 7 feet wide
high profile
At any rate it will be nice to actually see what the product looks like up close and touchable - they will have the actual product, or at least a small version of it, on display and not a poster, won't they?
A protest would be many bikers going slow all through town with picket signs. This is just one guy diverting traffic without a permit to grab attention for um, it looks like himself?
Without a working paid fast lane, all he's proving is that one dick hogging all the bandwidth for himself slows down the whole neighborhood.
He's not even on topic - going to a starbucks and slowing down their WiFi would have made a better point.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. Who would have thought that newer products eventually become older products.

Read the title slowly several times, and it sort of makes sense, clearly this is MIllennial SPeak. Maybe we can call it MISP.
