I said "all new houses". I did omit out an important part that I think we could greatly benefit from generating energy at the point of usage which would do away with DC transmission losses.
You are absolutely right. I should have mentioned I'm an advocate of generating energy where it will be used. I would suggest DC in the home based on a DC-generating energy source at the site.
I don't mean to pick on you so much as your question, but the limited thinking you demonstrate with mentioning AC exemplifies the self-imposed challenges we face by looking at problems with a limited frame of reference. There is almost nothing in your house that needs to run specifically on AC.
LED light bulbs run great off low voltage DC, and the lights the new ones produce is fabulous. Almost all your electronics now run on low voltage DC, which means you're facing enormous losses throughout your house through all the wall- or built-in transformers. We need to be putting low voltage DC buses in all new houses and then rely on basic voltage adjustment circuits for things that need higher or lower voltage to operate.
Your outlier appliances, like ovens and furnaces, could be handled through a heat storage form of solar with well-understood thermodynamic properties.
We *have* to stop planning our future based on faulty assumptions. It's like building an all-electric house in the 1950s and asking the builder why the plans make no allowance for a coal bin!
Probably because laws are not universally just in all jurisdictions? Perhaps laws are universally unjust in some jurisdictions? You're AC, so you may just be a troll, but you might really be that ignorant as well, so hope this helps!
I have lived in Kansas for about 27 years, so I guess that makes my opinion at least as valid as the opinion piece from a Kansas City, MISSOURI newspaper whose editorial staff clearly demonstrates their loathing for Kansas and its administration in even their non-opinion pieces.
Things aren't that bad, and they seem to be getting better.
Your BLS citation, in isolation, is pretty much worthless. I would encourage you to click through to "back data" as well as to compare it to the glorious state of California. 2016 shows an uptick in unemployment for both states around the same time. The unemployment rate in Kansas has been below 5% since mid-2013, a feat which California has not managed to achieve since mid-2006.
Economies are cyclical. It's of no inherent value to show that a state economy is down in some metric without comparing it to other states. Ultimately what we're doing is evaluating competing philosophies against each other to see which one merits consideration at election time.
I know plenty of people in government and education jobs who loathe Brownback and his associates. Interestingly enough, those politicians are largely being sent back to Topeka and Washington. Those who have been defeated were due to enormous amounts of outside money and influence being poured into Kansas elections.
Understood. Sorry for the berating. I unfortunately gave you the reaction I would have liked to have given a co-worker who recently yelled at those of us who had not disabled their Amber Alerts when they all simultaneously went off during the work day.
I have personally witnessed, but fortunately not been subject to, the failures of our domestic litigation system and my misplaced anger truly comes from a place of compassion and hurt for the kids:(
I was harsh and unfair to pick on you. I offer my sincere apologies.
Do you know how much red tape is involved in removing custody rights? If you have lost custody of your children, you are a worthless pile of shit and legally no different than a complete stranger abducting a child. No custody means NO RIGHTS TO THE CHILD!
When did Slashdot get taken over by aasholes? These are the people who should appreciate a technical solution to a problem, but instead you all just want to say there is no problem?
Rot in hell.
I took issue with them being called FAKE. You can say they are an inconvenience to you or personally not useful to you, but it is extremely objectionable to call them FAKE. As a parent, I don't mind the inconvenience. I traverse multiple major highways on my daily commute and I always keep my eyes open for the reported people and vehicles. Amber Alerts have saved lives, and at no cost to anyone other than a slight inconvenience.
Fake kidnapping alerts? You do realize that the non-custodial parent in these cases is sometimes actually a criminal who DOES murder their child? I hope you never reproduce, but if you do, you are going to be in for a harsh awakening when you actually discover what it means to care for and worry for another person.
I am in no way alleging that the DNC manipulated polls. My observation is more that the fawning media always interpreted every poll within or near the margin of error as a win for Clinton. I think the DNC proved to be self-defeating and blundering more so than dishonest, but the media showed a lot of bias this time around, IMHO. I think they're going to spend a long time earning trust back.
Not a Trump supporter here, by the way.
Wasn't this a DDOS attack made up of *DNS* requests? Presumably DYN itself was being attacked due to public statements made days before by their security teams. Having a secondary DNS provided by a company not being attacked in such a way seems like it would have helped. That's not to say it could keep any one website specifically being targeted up, but it would have prevented the widespread perceived outages.
He is correct that security clearance holders are asked not to view leaked material. Not posting as anonymous because anyone with Google could find this information to be true.
Citizens United determined that money is speech. Therefore, speech must also be money. That seems rather straightforward to me in a time where ideas and terminology are so malleable that they can be made to mean anything by the parties in power.
You highlight another important issue: geographical and urban/suburban/rural variations. Where I live, almost every road has multiple lanes going each direction. I think it is definitely important to teach various scenarios to both cyclists and motorists.
Studies are a poor substitute for experience. Most web developers switch code all day long, but that doesn't mean each language or set of similar languages don't benefit from common formatting.
If you do that, just make sure your algorithm really is the proper inverse function. I've been caught by this one time when it wasn't clear what the standard line-wrapping rules were. I still managed to change the code and cause diff problems for everyone else on the team. Now, I just go with the flow and practice "chameleon coding". YMMV.
You NEVER draw a weapon unless you are prepared to fire and kill if necessary. If you escalate the situation by drawing a firearm, you need to be prepared to finish it.
Which HTML editor? I used a lot of shareware as a 12 year-old learning the web and HTML back in the mid 90s. It's been a bit of a hobby for me to donate or follow up on the ones that I've used. I donated to Trumpet Winsock a year ago or so.
Not if you do it through the public market data but before the other order makes it through. Insider trading is when your uncle calls to tell you about his company's new product launch so you can make money on it.

In that case, you should get a better OS before you worry about coding standards.
The unit cost of a Stinger missile is said to be $38,000 on Wikipedia. I think there are other hindrances besides legality.
That kinda implies having a EE degree to work on your firearm.
You NEVER draw a weapon unless you are prepared to fire and kill if necessary. If you escalate the situation by drawing a firearm, you need to be prepared to finish it.
Sounds like your first problem is that you were doing embedded development but couldn't even be bothered to compile your own packages?
Huh? You have a 386 with 2GB of RAM?
