True and particularily true since researchers in some fields started to cheat the system by cross-citing each others, fragment the results to publish more than one paper when everything should have been published in a single article, etc.
Also, the study should normalize in some way for the total amount of publications since this number increase, the number of opportunities a given article can be cited is increasing as well. There is then a bias favoring publications that occured during the last two decades. The citations distribution is looking most of the time like a normal distribution. Then articles old enough to be past the 90% of the distribution will also be advantaged over newest ones.
All this to say this picture is biased and inaccurate. It does not worth more than the Buzzfeed top 10 lists.
When it rains, snows, storms, is windy, etc a drone is useless. It is better to not buy these drones and rely on them instead of having a network of available devices in case of emergency. Not that the idea has not advantages, but it is not a one-size fits all answer to the problem neither. At a 19 000$ tag price plus operation costs, you must think twice if it worth the expense vs a terresterial network of AED available for emergency.
The transformer/load analogy does not hold water. This is not a closed electrical circuit, you are radiating energy in space via radiowaves. Hence, you are dissipating energy whether or not there is an antenna to pick the signal. If the emitted signal is omni-directional, you are likely to waste much energy while charging you gizmo if you want a 4W signal at 15 ft.
There is a lot of bullshit around the wireless power transmission. I even met people thinking they could transmit electricity Africa wide without a single copper wire, just by wireless transmission. They believe this could replace the electrical grid for power distribution. They simply have no idea how much power will be wasted that way and how many people will be microwaved in the process. If today's radio signals are harmless, it is only because the power transmitted is insignificant and the original signal is recovered and reconstructed using wonderful signal processing tricks.
I don't believe you can run your coffee maker on 4 W, neither your toaster, these appliances are power hungry. Unless you wish to be cooked by your wireless thingy there is no hope to take rid of these power cables in a foreseeable future.
This thing is good only for smartphones, tablets or slowly recharge a laptop battery. Even LED ligths are starting at 5 W to 60 W. There is a lot of unrealistic expectations here.
There is absolutely no need or right to speak on a campus. They can speak all they want, but nothing says they have a right to do it on a campus. The whole learning process about these clowns does not require them to speak on campus. They have publish stuff on paper and on the internet, the information is available to anyone that want to learn about these ideas.
These people are not themselves engage into learning and sharing points of view, there is no place for such people on a campus. A university is not the place for dogmatism and denial of evidences.
March 18th 1912: We got Pete for dinner.
March 19th 1912: We got Pete again for dinner. He was a little bit more frozen than yesterday.
March 20th 1912: Pete is good, but now it is three days in a row and I am starting to think Tom could be a valuable replacement and upgrade to our diet.
Maybe because they need customers. Making sure someone can buy your products is part of the equation. The corporations have nothing to gain if the bulk workforce in America is less and less capable to buy their products and services. Even if they manage to operate offshore, this will do nothing to preserve their precious customers from a descending spiral and eventually they will have not enough customers to survive themselves.
And I forgot to say if the minimum wage hurts individual restaurants, the mothership is more likely to sell less buns to the franchisees. There is a genuine partnership here where both parties are losing if one is losing.
Not really true. Even if the mothership is not directly concerned about the minimum wage, if the minimum wage hurts individual restaurants, it is likely selling franchises will become harder and the price of a franchise will go down. The mothership is not an virtual entity suspended in the void making money from thin air.
There is even a kerberized telnet for a long time, however still no advantage over ssh which is also kerberized. Telnet should really die once and for all.
Because you don't have thermals at 13 miles altitude and at several thousand feet you can encounter severe weather conditions pretty often which would nail down your entire network for many hours or even days.
Have you ever seen a hurricane or a tropical storm? It means the Internet will be down during these critical events when it is often most needed. That is the reason they are talking about 13 miles altitude drones and not just zeppelins. The altitude record for a zeppelin is 7.6 km or 4.7 miles. Large hurricanes can reach an altitude of 50 000 feet or 9.5 miles or 15.25 km. Zeppelins couldn't clear a large hurricane.
I doesn't make any difference if they are a smaller target, they are also having less cells and everything is about the potential for the body to repair damages due to radiation. Since the intensity of the radiation is the same whatever the size of the target damages will still be proportional to the size of the target. Usually, damaging radiations are mesured in rem (Roentgen Equivalent Man) with is a quality factor multiplied by the amount of rad (Radiation Absorbed Dose) which is measured in amount of energy per kilogram. The quality factor is to take into account the type of radiations and the effect of the type of living cells that absorbe the dose.
No matter the size of the target, the amount of energy deposit in cells per kilogram will be a constant for a small target or a large target provided the intensity of the ambient radiations is the same.
No, we imply when you are working with a product your CV should be enough to certify you are knowing it. Also, do you think a product change so much someone already certified with a older version cannot learn the new version quick enough to be productive? Were do you learn new versions of products if not in your working environment? Will the employers required to pay certifications for their employees each time they upgrade from a old version to a newer one? If yes, what is the difference between hiring someone with skills with a older version and then pay for the certification? What is the value of the certification at the end? This is bullshit, yes, even for Microsoft, Cisco and everyone else selling certifications.
Exactly! Most certifications are just scam and pieces of paper to cover the ass of HR guys hiring without having a clue about the skills they are looking for. A convenient way to tell the boss they picked someone with the right technical skills, in theory. Taxes on revenues from governments are not enough, some companies managed to make their own.
If they were serious about going green, they would rather than move their data centers here, in Quebec, Canada. We have a lot of electricity surplus generated by hydro-power plants. Their solar panels will never be able to be price competitive with our electricity and we have no problem to provide enough power at night. We can surely power the whole data centers, all of them. They can even build them next to the goddam damn to make the power wires as short as they wish to make the power supply reliable.
Are these guys sleeping or what? You want a phone number and contact?
And no problem for the network speed, it is just next Montreal.
I even know a bunch of software developers who pretend to embrace open-source software without knowing what it is all about. Imagine the general public, they just know about free software like in free beer. Even large corporations using open-source software just like the free part like in beer, that's why these critical pieces of software don't have the resources they deserve.
Maybe they didn't uploaded anything? It haven't cross your mind the way the software works on the iPhone is in conjuction with massive PRIVATE data storage in the cloud and handled by the Apple guys, and you don't have anything to do to have everything uploaded; which is a nice service when not broken because if you lose your iPhone you do not lose your data. That is in fact a great idea with a poor implementation. Who should be liable for the poor implementation? The user or the provider?

Why do I read that in /. a week later than in my very local newspaper.
Will /. announce next week who finally won the WWII?

The point is: Do not run telnetd on a security device.
Running a telnet client to check a port/connection has not the same implications as using a telnet session to manage a security device.
Who cares? The guy I was replying to was talking about zeppelins. Did you read the thread?
The guy I was replying to was talking about zeppelins. Seems pretty clear I was not talking about balloons.

May I suggest to send Snow White and the seven dwarfs, and no Apple please.
