I guess if I don't want you to steal my TV in order to do your streaming, I'd better put a better lock on my house. Apparently honesty and integrity aren't factors.
I don't know if you are aware of this, but Christmas comes on December 25th every year. It's really predictable. So if it's important that you have something for this date, you could order it for delivery in say November or even July! That way if something goes wrong, you have time to obtain a replacement.
That's not the concern. What *does* happen is that people (usually in rural areas where electricity service isn't reliable in severe weather) buy generators from a hardware store but, for convenience, hook them up to their breaker panel (sometimes using a homemade male to male cord!) so that they don't have to run a web of extension cords whenever the generator is needed.
If the hookup is poor (they often are), the generator will be back feeding into the grid. In addition to the main power line being down there are often other more local downed wires (Remember in rural areas the wires are above ground even in places that have harsh weather). The local linemen will be working on what they think is a dead wire but it will be live. They're used to it out there so it probably doesn't cause much in the way of injuries.
I own some property in Harrison County, OH where the majority of households have generators. At least once a year in winter there is a multi-day power outage because there is only one line feeding the town. And there are plenty of stories of people forgetting to switch off their main breaker when running their generators only to have the electricity reconnected and the generator get damaged.
It's not a huge issue in the sense that the linemen are trained the homeowners don't make the mistake twice.
People argue (see this thread) that there is a similar problem with improper PV installations. I've argued that it's not really the same issue at all. PV owners are selling to the grid (net metering) and, as a result, have to have proper tie-in systems that eliminate this problem. I'm sure there's at least one counter-example out there, but it's not a common problem.
This is true for ordinary people. For C-level, they get golden parachutes worth more than most people's lifetime earnings so they don't need this diversification. For non C-level, yeah, you can be in a real bind if too much of your wealth is in company stock.
I haven't used the "Continue on PC" feature in Windows 10 (just moves browser windows from the phone to the computer) but if this feature existed for Excel, I can be pretty sure that I *would* use it when switching from a tablet to a PC.. Apple is just making it easier to build cross-platform apps. Microsoft is figuring out how people want to work even if the original incantation isn't interesting.
They may try. But if the homeowner wants net metering, they'll have to get a two-way meter installed by the utility company and the shoddy work will be discovered. So I stand by the assertion that this is not a problem for PV installations only for DIY backup generators.
It's unlikely that a home PV unit will do this. They are usually tied into the grid with a proper inverter that detects the grid being down and won't feed power. We run into trouble when people buy backup generators at a hardware store and then tie it into their household electricity themselves.
A previous poster has already proven this wrong. The battery can inject more than 7MW. It injected 7MW because that's what was necessary to maintain the grid frequency. It could have injected more.
There is an easy solution to this problem. You simply combine the hydrogen with a long carbon chain. Then you can get whatever physical properties you want and substitute it for existing fossil fuel applications. Since France gets electricity for free with no environmental impact (read:nuclear), it doesn't even matter if the process is efficient.
No, arbitration agreements often help *individuals* who actually arbitrate recover actual harm. There's a low barrier to entry and you don't need a lawyer. What they prevent is class-action status. With an arbitration agreement, a company can just give a years salary to everybody who got harassed and it's a cost of business. Without one, there could be a class action with punitive damages. Also they tend to have confidentiality so nobody knows that a hundred other people settled the same claim and that it's systematic.
You use arbitration when you have decided that the penalties of wrongdoing are an ongoing cost of doing business. You use the courts when you actually want to solve an issue.
Likely the reason MSFT is doing this is because they think they're better than other companies in terms of reducing sexual harassment at work. Now they want to attract significant amount of female talent to help reduce open job reqs.
More machines would have helped. But it also sounds like there was terrible operational planning. If you can only deice a certain number of planes (you have a throughput of X/hour), you should really decide which ones are gong to get de-iced *before* loading passengers on them. Otherwise all you do is burn fuel and waste time before you have to turn back to the gate. I don't think any airport has as much de-icing capacity as runway capacity.
The same people who object to this are the ones who don't understand why their ISPs want to charge them extra for using 100TB per month when the average users uses about 10GB/month.
I think you are missing the point that, as electric cars become more common, in order to attract tenants, apartment complex owners will have to install chargers. They already have parking spaces. Just put a charger at each one. And charge for the electricity so they make a profit. Then the gas station next door closes down, the apartment buys the land for $1 (brownfield land isn't worth much) and turns it into a park. They can then raise rents (due to proximity to the park) and make double profit.
The current supercharger setup is quite ridiculous. There's a reason that makers of gasoline cars don't promise to include fuel for as long as you own the car. It creates a distortion and an incentive to use as much as possible. I could just siphon it off for a friend. In this case, I could use the supercharger to charge my Tesla then run my house off the battery. Free electricity for life. It was a stupid arrangement and sophisticated buyers should have realized that it was inane at the time of purchase.
I have no idea how a post promoting hydrogen fuel cells got modded up. And I have no idea why there can't be enough charging points. The vast majority of vehicles sit idle for eight hours a day while their owners work which is more than enough time to charge even just using a standard 110V/15amp plug.
Fixed the summary for you. Even if you can get an internet-connected device that doesn't tout spying as a feature, the supply chain is full of counterfeits and tampered items.
There are property management companies that will do this for you. It completely tosses much of the rent/own equation out of the window. You're not tied to a house just because you bought it. Now you should shop smarter and look at things like "rent multiples" rather than whether you like the carpet. Basically there's no point of even looking at a house. If it can't go into an Excel spreadsheet, it's not important!
Well it has to be more than below freezing. Even in northern airports (I used to fly out of Pittsburgh all the time), there are often delays associated with de-icing. You don't need to do it every day or even all day.

Indeed this is how Amazon deals with "sharing" a Prime subscription. You can share it with anybody who you entrust with your credit card!

There are fleet fueling programs for gasoline cars and they are *very* careful about who they give it to.
I once used a laundromat that had a little bar that sold beer. Ingenious!

Which is why they have de-icers at all!
He was fired! You are talking in circles!

How many de-icing stations is one expected to keep in a area of the country chosen because it rarely drops below freezing.
You can rent it out and become the profit-making landlord!
