Continental drift also shifts Earth's geographic poles. Did they bother to compute the share of pole movement due to continental drift vs. movement/melting of the ice sheet? I doubt it.
And, in still other news, amazingly, angular momentum is conserved.
Thankfully I live in a State that has at least some semblance of constitutional restraint in mind.
Hopefully the legislature will pass this bill quickly, as it restricts police drone use to that which is specifically authorized by a warrant, related to a known specific criminal act.
"The bill would allow law enforcement to use drones only when a court has agreed that there are grounds to collect evidence relating to a specific instance of criminal wrongdoing, or in emergencies. Requiring a neutral arbiter to sign off on drone use assures the public that this new technology will be used consistently with our values."
Apple applications are designed to run slowly and cause hiccups and slowdowns on Windows PCs. This is by design, to encourage you to buy Apple hardware.
See??? It runs butter smooth on a Mac! Windows is slow.
The need for more performance is also minuscule. Right now there is way too much computer and not enough problem to solve with it. Right now at least it's all about the GPU, which is where almost all computational work is being done. CPUs have become glorified bureaucrats in the shuffling of information around.
An on-die power controller still needs to have external capacitors, especially at the power levels we're talking about.
But, the problem areas in a switching supply are EMI and stray inductances on the board slowing down the turnon of the mosfet. Because the turnon is slowed down, the mosfet spends time in the ohmic region, which creates excess heat.
An on-die gate driver routed directly to the gate with no trace length has no stray inductance, and an on-die gate probably also has less capacitance than a discrete component. So, switching times are much much faster, and there is far less loss per cycle in the ohmic region. That's a Good Thing(TM).
EMI will also be reduced just because there aren't a bunch of high speed traces running around, and the thing can run in the multi-MHz range, so less energy is switched per cycle, and maybe even the switch inductor can even be small enough to simply be drawn in silicon.
I would not be surprised to see efficiency in the 95+% range even coming from 12V down to 0.9V or whatever voltage this thing runs at, so you'll be throwing an extra 6W or so into a 120W package. Not bad.
It's LOBBYING. They're just expressing the free speech rights of the megacorporations they represent to influence the outcome of elections to select people who will do their bidding.
Because the ultimate goal is for all Internet service to be provided wirelessly, to avoid the enormous installation cost and eminent domain / easement issues that go with physical plant.
These ranking models depend heavily on the quality of admitted student. So, the desire to score high in these ranking models necessitates movement towards a high-merit model of admission, and since we all know that SES correlates well with academic achievement, the high-cost/high-aid model also lends itself towards acquiring better students.
Poor kids drag down rankings, just like having a trailer park next door drags down property values. So, it should come as no surprise that colleges and universities everywhere would drift towards a model that attempts to exclude poor kids.
What's worse, a lot of the "merit" based aid is really not geared towards merit at all, but rather SES. I tutor math and science at a local high school here in rural America, and despite the fact that there are kids here who score in the top 10% on the SATs, they still cannot qualify for "merit" based aid because that "merit" based aid has other requirements for things like volunteering, community outreach, and other touchy-feely things that rural working class poor kids can't have because they're too busy working part time or doing farm chores to partake in these types of programs. If they were rich urban or suburban kids, they would not have this problem at all.
I'd much rather hire a new grad who spend their childhood learning a good work ethic, helping their family, and busting their ass to learn something. That kid has purpose.
This fits in very well with Obama's agenda. After all he just nominated a Telecom lobbyist to head the FCC, and that nomination is expected to sail through the Senate largely unopposed due to the insane amount of money Telecom has put into the last few elections.
Don't forget that Obama promised there would be no lobbyists in his administration.
It's all about getting the Interwebs to all those free Obama phones.
One of the basic job requirements for my developers is to stay current on new technologies and always to be looking for ways to make our products better. I've never had a developer fail to do that, but if I did notice a developer starting to fall behind, I would do everything i could to save my enormous investment in them.
Really, losing an employee is very costly in terms of lost experience and having to go through the engagement process and bring someone new up to speed. It's the LAST thing I want to do.
A lot of the time, employees will get bored or something and start spinning their wheels. It's important to give employees the opportunity to spend some time on other things. I give employees 1 month out of the year to work on "fun" projects - stuff they're interested in doing, new and interesting technologies, or things that are otherwise off-mission but a break from the routine. I think it has been a success for me, and we as a company have learned a lot of new things from it.
That's why I invest pretty heavily in the telecom market. The divvies and growth are both pretty good, and very very consistent. The money I make off of my AT&T stock alone is more then enough to pay for our cell phone plans.
If you don't like the price, don't buy their product. You have no right to bitch about it being too expensive. If you want it, you'll pay it, and if you don't want to pay it, you won't buy it. It's that simple.
"There's been an explosion of 503(c).4 organizations over the past 4 years (after the Citizen's United decision), and a large number of them have been funded from "right-wing" sources. These organizations have been very lax about filing the proper paperwork about their donors, and in fact, have been downright secretive. And many of them are engaging in activities that very much skirt the line (if not cross it entirely) of political advocacy. The quantity of money (and number of organizations) engaged in this kind of shadowy advocacy/political support is very seriously tilted towards right-wing sources. "
I am sure you won't mind sharing your evidence for these accusations you are making.
" Imagine the shoe on the other foot... let's say a hard-line right-wing President gets elected, and the IRS starts going after LBGT groups in this way. Would you still be okay with it?"
Interesting hypothetical, just like the hypothesis that monkeys might some day sprout wings and engage in aerial transportation out of my sphincter.
"Rights are for everyone"
There is no such thing as a Right. A Right is something that cannot be taken away from you by any means. Everything you think you possess as a right can be taken from you by government. Except, there is no functional way for the People to return the favor. Therefore, Rights are not for everyone. They are only for government.
Case in point - his first Presidential campaign, by which time he had no practical work experience, and less than two years in the Senate. There wasn't any "what they've actually done" to go on, because he hadn't done anything.
This administration is owned by enormous corporations - and Obama just nominated a Telecom lobbyist to head the FCC (after promising during his campaign that there would be no lobbyists in his administration). Seriously. There is zero chance he would sign this bill were it to find its way to his desk.

The "low level" people had nothing to do with this except to be scapegoats for Obama's tyranny.

Agreed. I think "nominating Telecom lobbyist to head FCC" is an action that soundly trumps "feigned criticism of the LoC."
