That's the maximum power capacity of the solar panels in direct sunlight; take into account that the station can spend up to 40% of its orbit in eclipse, and the power budget is more like 70 kW at best. Still not impossible to accommodate 1.5 kW for a steam-cleaner, but it's something that should only be used as needed.
Why don't we do this for copyright? Instead of letting companies keep a copyright for 120 years or whatever it is by now, charge a registration fee that escalates geometrically. Choose the constant and ratio so that it's cheap for the first couple of decades, or maybe even waive the fee for the first decade, so that small authors don't get pinched out, and then by the time you get to fifty years or so, the fees are in the millions of dollars per work per year, so that only the biggest ongoing blockbusters are kept out of the public domain for that long (which seems reasonable -- if a company is willing to spend millions of dollars to retain a copyright, presumably they are being good stewards and getting a return on that investment). We should also tie software copyright to liability -- if Microsoft is charging people to get support for their software, then they should be on the hook when things break, EULAs be damned, and if they don't want to deal with that, well, all they have to do is release the software and its source code into the public domain.
Our study will show they occur during all times of the day.
[S]houldn’t they wait until after the study is completed before telling us what it showed?
The CDC might not be done with all of their statistical analysis and writing and such, but I think we can trust that they've had enough time and data to have confirmed that scooter injuries occur during the day as well as at night...
Well, they know that. It's the same as when the Republicans put bills on Obama's desk to repeal the ACA. They knew he'd veto it and that they wouldn't be able to override it. It's about signalling to the voters "this is what we'll be able to do if you put us in charge." It's not a new phenomenon.
And then the GOP won the House, Senate, and White House and...didn't repeal ACA. (Okay, they're working on it...sort of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...)
Come on, using an actual word? Real tech start-ups make creative (and trademarkable) misspellings by dropping vowels and stuff...I would take them much more seriously if they called it "Dissentr".
Others have remarked on the use of Javascript, YouTube videos, and other technology that didn't exist or wasn't widely used until after then '90s, but the original Space Jam movie website is still up in its 1996 glory: https://www.warnerbros.com/arc...
I can hear Q's narration in my head: "Now pay attention, 007. This pill contains a magnesium micro-rocket that ignites on contact with stomach acid. The blue pill delivers a needle with a fast-acting poison, and the red pill implants a tracking device that will remain embedded in the intestinal lining for up to two weeks. If you should use one...please, do us both a favor and don't recover it!"
The singular of "cats" is "cat", and so the singular form of "thieves" must be "thieve"! I don't see any trouble here.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've just rearranged my boxen, so I need to update the indice of the coordinates of their vertices...
In related news, there's a program called "waifu2x" that uses deep learning and neural networks (and CUDA, if you have an NVIDIA graphics card...highly recommended, there's a ~4x speed boost on my machine) to automatically scale up ("super-resolution") and de-noise anime art: https://github.com/nagadomi/wa...
I was once advised by a mentor to 'never skimp on anything that gets between you and the ground'. He was talking about tires, shoes, and beds, but toilets certainly qualify. Every human poops, and many of the worst diseases still extant (cholera and friends) thrive in conditions of poor sanitation. So don't make fun of this research -- respect the throne! Invest in it!
In Atlas Shrugged (which I presume is the inspiration for this exercise), Midas Mulligan's valley (later known as Galt's Gulch) was located near Oured, Colorado. It had local hot springs for water, wheat farms and fruit tree orchards, and also a perpetual motion machine to make electricity and a hologram projector to keep it hidden from outsiders. I suppose solar power is available in the desert, but man cannot live by blockchain alone.

He set his answering machine message to play the "not in service" tones, and the telemarketer calls dropped pretty quickly after that.
Even if they open-sourced their entire codebase, there's no way I could connect to the markets or wield influence the way that they do.
No, Mr. Bond, I expected you to pay!
I'd have said my data was worth a solid fiver, but what do I know?

How about a source that doesn't abuse YouTube's copyright system to cover their incompetence? Here's one: https://www.engadget.com/2019/...

(I guess I don't know that Engadget hasn't ever misbehaved, but Vox and The Verge are pretty regularly obnoxious.)
Quoth George Orwell: "Those who “abjure” violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf."

Many of Dell's laptops are using AMD Ryzen processors, and they're also using Threadripper processors in some high-end Alienware desktops.
