  1. Re:More details... on First Hidden Electric Motor In Cycling World Championship (cxmagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    How long the battery can deliver 110W? 110W for 1 sec doesn't provide a significant advantage given the extra weight, friction from the motor, etc.

    Give us a link to the video. Tell us about the amount of energy stored in the batteries. Tell us about the torque of the motor, etc.

    And the battery? How much power can you store? Does it worth it? Consider the additional weight in the equation.

    You are right about the proof. There isn't any proof in this case so far. Only accusations. Show me the motor and the battery please.

    The issue wasn't pot, the point was the backpedalling. He did the same with refugees. He promised during his campaign and shortly after being elected to accept 25 000 Syrians refugees by the end of 2015 before checking with civil servants if this was just humanly possible to process all these applications in two months with the current staff. The guy is a peewee.

    It accounts for these. The point is a conspiracy to go undetected it must involve very few people. All these conspiracies in the study were for a time undetected. What you are saying is he should have taken into account conspiracies that will never be detected. But they are taken into account, they are just very unlikely if they involve more that a few people. That is what the data show. Don't you understand how statistics work?

    Idiot! Failed conspiracies are successful conspiracies until they fail. That is exactly what the study is based on.

    I am sorry, but if it was fixed in few days, it was not found in few days. This bug existed for many versions of OpenSSL before being finally discovered. That's not quite true to say it was discovered in days.

    Everyone knows when you are talking over phone your voice is transported over a public network and as such, no warrant should be needed for a third party to record your voice and conversation and use it as he wishes.

    IoT is not orwellian, what turns orwellian when people don't care about security issues: users and manufacturers. This has nothing to do with Big Brother. Enable the security on your webcam and no one will sneak at you.

    So, you may be interested in this I posted earlier in reply to another post.

    "The diary was first published in 1947 in Dutch and in 1952 in English (the American edition). In 1986 a commented version was edited and published and in 2001 5 missing pages were added and published again. The 5 missing pages were removed by Anne's father, Otto, because these pages were showing tension between Otto and his wife and they were showing Anne was not loving so much her mother. These pages were given by Otto before his death to Cornelis Suijk who finally sold them to Anne Frank's foundation for 300 000 USD. Cornelis Suijk was previously director at the Anne Frank's foundation."

    This Cornelis Suijk looks like some of these guys you described.

  23. I beg your pardon, but this is already old news. It has been relayed by other channels at least two days ago. If /. still want to pretend being news for nerds, they have to catch up and post news when they are news, not two days later. I am expecting to read news here first, not after everyone has already published them.

    Anecdotal stories maybe interesting, however, you do not base a national-wide policy or initiative on that. Nobody knows what would had happen to you if you hadn't play with this programmable toy car. In no way it means you haven't end up where you are.

    I never ever touch a computer or a programmable toy before my first year at university. However, I got a strong math, physics and chemistry background.

    Your personal experience doesn't prove anything.

    I don't give a fuck about what your are doing or not doing and what you like and dislike. Refraining about systemd and Gnome 3 each time there is an opportunity to do so whichever it is related or not with the subject is just annoying and childish. Mainly, guys complaining about systemd can be summarized as: "I don't know how systemd works, I know how openrc works and I don't want to learn anything new". These guys are a pain for any employer. Up to a certain point, for many business decisions it is no longer about which OS is better, it is about which OS is better for the application I need to deploy in this given context with this set of skills in-house. A bit more complex than complaining about systemd.
