There's no guarantee that submerging something in boiling water exposes all parts to that boiling water. Cracks, crevices and hinges can be relatively safe harbours.
That's the reason for autoclaves. The higher heat and pressure penetrates more thoroughly.
I know that computer vision systems can be very sensitive to lighting changes. Part of me wonders if the new "tent" building added a complications in lighting consistency.
Ironically, the breweries themselves produce vast quantities of CO2 at relatively good purity, through the fermentation process. It's vented from the top of the fermentation vessels and then released to air.
It would be a pretty good starting point to capture that off-gas, do some basic filtering and then re-inject it into the finished beer.
That's the difference between English syle India Pale Ales, or Americanised Imperial Pale Ales. Same acronym, very different beer.
English styles showcase the malt and yeast. Hops are added early and contribute a lot of bitterness, but very little flavour and aroma. Americanised styles add exteme quantities of hops at the end which gives the hoppy taste and aroma.
1) It operates in the near field where the inverse square law doesn't apply.
2) The electric and magnetic forces are uncoupled and it's not streaming radiation out like a light bulb. The energy oscillates between the antenna and the near field.
Poor guess. It's closer to 60 to 70% efficiency into the battery for Qi.
Not to mention that smartphone energy efficiency has been improving and their use is offsetting a lot of PC/laptop use that consumes an order of magnitude or two more energy.
Well, the main one, and most obvious, is lack of wires.
I have my phone on a stand next to my bed. It's very, very convenient to be able to roll over and grab it in the morning, or if I get a call late at night, and not rip the cord out of the socket.
Note - I did have contact charging (like pogo-plug) on my last phone (Sony) and that was OK too but more sensitive to alignment.
If you watched his testimony, Comey states that the media were camped out in his driveway, and if he'd leaked this personally it would have been like feeding seagulls at the beach. The media frenzy would have been ridiculous.
That's why you'd use as many symptoms as practical to give an initial list of likely diagnosis, go off and perform more specific tests and feed that back to the AI. It should be possible to rapidly converge the differential analysis on a small set of candidates.
I would argue that most home/SOHO routers are not specialized for the task. Many of them have quite underwhelming specs and don't even have full bandwidth access to their own network interfaces. A old PC with PCI network cards is an order of magnitude more capable.
First, the start of the article (and the summary) say it's a prototype computer with a single bank of memory. Later they report that the machine has the 160TB spread across 40 nodes. It might be logically contiguous but it's hardly a "single bank".
Secondly, the start of the article describes the architecture as memory-centric, but HP later states: "the Machine is an attempt to build, in essence, a new kind of computer architecture that integrates processors and memory seamlessly using a flexible interconnect scheme"
If you didn't graduate with a degree in software engineering then you are not really a software engineer. Sneak it into your job title if you like but I wouldn't be using it in an "I am an engineer" context.
I fully understand that software programming is a complex and nuanced skill, sometimes as much art as technical. That said, if you are just a programmer, call yourself one. Engineering is supposed to be far more structured and deterministic.
Sure, there's no combustion gasses coming out the back and the compressor is electrically driven, but that just means it's an "electric ducted fan" and not a "gas turbine". Both of them still operate on the principles of jet propulsion.
There is no law that prohibits Apple from buying there own products from Ireland at whichever price they like.
Yes, there is. Most tax laws allow for transfer pricing, however according to guidelines it's supposed to represent a realistic internal cost. When companies inflate this cost in order to profit shift, it's difficult for the regulators to prove and even harder to prosecute.
But we know there is profit. Apple are in fact highly profitable, unfortunately they use profit shifting techniques to move that profit back to regions with favourable tax regimes (i.e. Ireland).
Apple consumes local resources in the running of it's stores and should return a small portion of those profits back to that local area. When they profit shift it robs that area of valuable income needed to sustain services like roads, street lighting, police and legal systems, and all manner of utilities that Apple rely on every day.
You are free to not be vaccinated, but please piss off somewhere that you cant endanger society.
It's questionable not vaccinating your kids, because competent scientific evidence shows that they are an order of magnitude safer than the risk of the diseases they are protecting agianst. When you frame it like that, non-vaccination is negligence and we legislate against other forms of child negligence.
Finally, no-one has ever said vaccines are 101% safe. There are risks and vaccine injury is real, but rare. We accept this risk because it is statistically far better off for society, and we have set up support programs for the occasional individual who suffers a serious adverse reaction.
Finally, reality shows strong evidence in support of the general safety of vaccines. Anyone who tells you otherwise is completely full of shit, and is most likely part of an over-privileged echo chamber.
You'd think that people would love superior GMO crops that have higher yeild and lower pesticides, but it turns out that we were wrong. Public perception and uninformed opinion unfortunately have a big influence. Once smear campaign might make all the difference on someone buying it or not.
Electricity meters are subject to the same regulation, unfortunately how you consume that electricity can impact on the accuracy of the meter. The regulations clearly aim for an easier use case.
Switch mode power supplies draw power from the mains in a very noisy fashion, with many short fast peaks. They are becoming increasingly common and many of them are poor quality (i.e. no power factor correction), making the situation worse. When you move away from electromechanical meters, it takes sophisticated high speed circuitry to detect those pulses and account for them properly.
We have very little renewable energy production in Australia and was has been built had to beg for scraps of subsidies. Coal fired plants get more public money.
The ridiculous rise in costs is due to privatization, and infrastructure overbuilds. In many states electric utilities were allowed to build infrastructure and charge the consumers for it, so they turned that into a revenue stream by overbuilding and charging excessively. In some cases whole substations sat idle.

Yeah, but you missed the part where the update also happened on the MiBox 3. The MiBox is "like a ROKU".
I've been using one for the last 6 month and it's been great. I saw the update come through last week, though I havent seen the sponsored channel yet.

That not true for wireless phone charging:
1) It operates in the near field where the inverse square law doesn't apply.
2) The electric and magnetic forces are uncoupled and it's not streaming radiation out like a light bulb. The energy oscillates between the antenna and the near field.

I get the point of your sarcasm, but regardless they are actually safer. The cargo containers are explosion and fire resistant.
Maybe, but 400Hz is still incredibly slow, even for a rectifier class diode.

The article contradicts itself multiple times.
First, the start of the article (and the summary) say it's a prototype computer with a single bank of memory. Later they report that the machine has the 160TB spread across 40 nodes. It might be logically contiguous but it's hardly a "single bank".

Wat?

When I read the original article, I immediately thought it was odd that they assumed there was a 1:1 relationship between DNA and volume.
Testing for the percentage of proteins might have been better.
You could just as easily assume people would waste 25% of a 6 hour day too. Or even worse, 2 hours of a 6 hour day, making it 33%.
I'm all for less time at work but saying that days could be shorter and then assuming 100% output is foolish.
Tell that to people that make jet boats.
Sure, there's no combustion gasses coming out the back and the compressor is electrically driven, but that just means it's an "electric ducted fan" and not a "gas turbine". Both of them still operate on the principles of jet propulsion.
So much prior art it's not funny. I've seen articles for years discussing using smartphones as PC replacements using some kind of dock.
Even the existing transformer tables are also quite close, with the exception that they use the tablet's display.

Yes, there is. Most tax laws allow for transfer pricing, however according to guidelines it's supposed to represent a realistic internal cost. When companies inflate this cost in order to profit shift, it's difficult for the regulators to prove and even harder to prosecute.
Inflated transfer pricing is unethical, period.
