You're being (less than) pedantic. If you really want to be pedantic with regards to IP, it's a gateway. In practice, it's neither a router nor a gateway in correct, modern terms.
Yep, although he certainly doesn't have a firewall - just a cheap NAT gateway.
And the whole thing about calling such cheap Internet NAT gateways, "routers", really needs to stop (not to mention when they're combined with 802.11 AP functionality). The vast majority of consumer ones can't even run a routing protocol, not even ancient RIP. Unless the user is an idiot and opens up incoming holes, they're almost good enough. Their vulnerabilities mostly lie in management weaknesses which allow them to be compromised from the outside so an attacker can open holes.
I use a Juniper SRX (cheap on eBay!), but there are others which can provide enterprise class security. But configuring one isn't for a typical consumer, I've been doing networking professionally for 35+ years. Unfortunately, the vast majority of consumer NAT gateways are built to a price point, are based on chip maker reference designs/software and little else, and real security is only a minor afterthought. There's a market opportunity - no one AFAIK really makes a truly secure router/gateway for unsophisticated users.
...and not enough bezel. And "Bottom-facing speaker." Give me front facing stereo without a notch. Kudos for the headphone jack, RAM and available flash, though.
And what's with this: "CDMA: BC0/BC1", which is what Verizon uses, but it's not listed as compatible.
"Hold him for the smut, but send him to a dark hole for the rest of it."
Well, that's a rush to judgment.
Nothing in the summary or article indicates he illegally took anything from the CIA or NSA. There's this:
agents told the court they had retrieved "N.S.A. and C.I.A. paperwork" in addition to a computer, tablet, phone and other electronics.
Having "computer, tablet, phone and other electronics" at home is extremely common, as is having work related paperwork. Note they didn't claim that it was secret stuff, or that he wasn't supposed to possess it, etc. Heck, it may just be a pay stub and vacation schedule. I've seen lots of law enforcement claims, they always try to phrase it so it sounds as bad as possible, and worse than it is. They couldn't even manage to make it sound bad here.
Child porn? Sounds like he set up a server open to university students, and the cops found some encrypted images that they can't link directly to him The worst they have is that "he advised one user, 'Just don't put anything too illegal on there.'" Hell, that could refer to lots of things other than child porn, he may have been thinking of mp3s or lists of exam questions. If the files were encrypted, how would he know, if he even bothered trying to look in the first place, and how did the cops decrypt them?
It's all bullshit. Just say no. For illogical reasons, the "flagship" phones seem headed in the direction of form over function. I don't want a phone which makes it hard to not "fat finger" an unintentional/undisired change due to touching a screen edge, nor do I want a phone which doesn't have a speaker on the front which allows me to hear clearly.
Face it, they're all rounded rectangles with a display. Differentiate with utilitarian function, nor form, because any real difference from the norm is just late 1950's tail fins on cars. And the automakers figured out the fucked up much faster than cellphone makers will. I don't want thin, either. Give me a larger, replaceable battery, not some phone that's hard to not drop. There was actually an article today about Apple's rumored next phone being "revolutionary" [sic] for some shit related to having a higher screen/area ratio, or some other meaningless crap.
P. T. Barnum was right, although he underestimated the scale.
6 million gallons/day? Chicago diverts 2 billion gallons/day from the Great Lakes watershed, much of it to move their crap elsewhere, just like they do with air pollution.
Whoosh. Is your problem with reading comprehension or retention? The greater Chicago area is the cause of much of the pollution in surrounding areas, including coastal Wisconsin and Michigan. Lacking the windborne pollution originating in Illinois and Indiana, there's no reason to believe Racine county would have any sort of issue. No reason to force Racine to mitigate Chicago's pollution. And it's disingenuous and hypocritical for Illinois to sue claiming Wisconsin might cause more pollution.
Supporting document: "- Elevated ozone levels are confined to an extremely narrow band that follows Wisconsin's shoreline,
with air quality improving dramatically just a few miles inland;
- Ozone concentrations measuring above the level of the 2015 ozone NAAQS at the state's lakeshore
monitors occur almost exclusively when the wind is coming from over the lake, not from over
Wisconsin;
- Ozone concentrations at Wisconsin's lakeshore monitors are primarily due to emissions originating
from outside the state;
More: "Upwind states (primarily Illinois and and Indiana) and emissions from commercial shipping on the Great Lakes contribute 2-3 times as much as Wisconsin. [pollution to a site in WI]"
My water pipe goes into the ground, too, but I don't expect to get electricity out of the faucet. Seriously, you lack an understanding of even basic electricity.
Simply, a battery has two poles, positive and negative. To draw power out of a battery, you connect an electrical load between the two poles.
There's no ground involved at all. That's why you can carry a cellphone around and it doesn't need to be grounded. It's why an electric car works even though it's electrically insulated from the ground by rubber tires. Connecting a wire from a car battery to earth ground isn't going to do anything at all.
"Ground" is also used to refer to the part of an electrical circuit which provides sort of a baseline voltage for a circuit. The negative pole of a car battery is often connected to a vehicles "chassis ground." But with that sort of ground, you wouldn't talk about putting power "into the ground." That ground has absolutely nothing to do with earth ground. That AC circuit you mentioned? It has power and neutral wires in addition to that ground wire (which does go to earth ground). All the power flows through those non-ground wires. The ground wire is just for safety. Ground fault interrupter outlets turn off if they see any current going through the ground wire. Ever seen something with a 2 prong cord? - doesn't even have a ground pin.
Back to that battery. If you just short the poles of the battery with a wire, you get lots of energy, very quickly. With a powerful battery, you might vaporize the wire or have an explosion. And some batteries become unsafe when they're discharged too quickly. So, you need a load with the right resistance so you drain it fast, but not so fast as to be unsafe.
And that load is going have to deal with all the energy it's absorbing, which will be released as heat. To discharge a full Tesla battery in 1/2 hour would release the heat of over 110 electric space heaters.
Unlike, it seems, most here, I won't try to tell you how to use your phone. That's entirely up to you.
I use Android, and the deep security is the one and only feature which I really admire of an iPhone. Not that there's anything significant I want to hide, it's more a matter of principle. To make the counter-argument, if I have nothing to hide, they have nothing to look for, so why should I let them?
In reality, I want the phone to lock more so that if my phone is misplaced or stolen, it's not useful to the finder. That makes it more likely that it might get returned.
I do find the fingerprint sensor on the back of my Pixel much faster and more convenient than the TouchID sensor on my wife's iPhone. Unlocking is pretty much automatic when I pick up the phone to look at it.
"it's deciding which products it, as a corporation, wishes to be associated with"
It's making a conscious decision to be political and interfere with a legal and voluntary business. It's only after it starts making such subjective decisions that it becomes "associated" - until then, being content neutral, they were no more associated than, say, someone writing a history book about Josef Mengele was "associated" with him.
And, they are regulating speech. Advertising is commercial speech, and they're undeniably regulating it.
Does the safety driver get any feedback on what the autopilot is planning? I'd think that even a simple green/yellow/red indication to show what it's perceiving (everything's OK/I see something and am prepared to take action/I am taking action) would be useful.
I could see the car recognizing a potential hazard well in advance of a need to take action - that info should be given to the safety driver. If they in turn take action before the autopilot would have, perhaps an algorithm needs tweaking. And, if the driver sees a potential hazard first, they should be able to provide feedback on that, too, so they can figure out why the human is doing a better job.
"Forcing a solar installation protects nobody's rights."
It can, indirectly. For example, if it obviates a need for burning carbon for heat, which differs from your water example, only because it's atmospheric.
No, I mean accurate. Cs is perfectly accurate, by definition (acceleration and temperature excepted for physical realizations), although H maser is more precise. Precision matters short term, accuracy long term.
But, despite a lengthy attempt at being pedantic, you haven't even come close to answering the question. What's the intrinsic accuracy of (these) time crystals? Do separate ones differ? Temperature/pressure/humidity effects? Gravity orientation? Level of excitation? Aging? Retrace?
Why force solar panels on a home built in the shade of a forest, especially if the demand is for break even? That's extremely inefficient - it makes more sense to use the existing infrastructure to redistribute energy from areas where it's easily generated to areas where it isn't.
I'm thinking a credit system would address the desire much more economically.
How accurate is it? Is it better than atomic transitions (hydrogen maser, cesium or rubidium clock), or even as good as a quartz or ceramic oscillator?
I scanned the links, with no obvious answer.
It's interesting in and of itself, but that's the first practical application which comes to mind. Are there other applications I'm missing?

"Each drone carries at least $100,000 of electronics...Saildrone just raised $90 million to build a fleet of 1,000 drones"
So, without the electronics, they can build a sailboat for -$10K! Sell at a loss, and make it up in volume is finally true!
