I disagree. Bringing back the expensive engines was the only good thing it did. It wasn't worth it - but it could have been, if the second and third generation shuttles had been built, with re-usable liquid fuel boosters and shuttle designs that would have fulfilled the promise of fast, no-touch turnarounds.
The wings, landing gear, huge cabin and having to carry humans for launches that should have been fully automated were Shuttle's major problems. And Buran was only done because the U.S. was doing something similar, Russia didn't see exactly why, but couldn't be left behind if it proved to be for important strategic military reasons. Spoiler - it wasn't: Shuttle was built for silly political reasons.
The current default treats USB connected hard drives like internal drives, and assumes that they will be safely shut down before removal. This allows the computer to store data temporarily in the computers memory, allowing the programs to continue while it writes out the data in the background.
This change assumes that the drive could go away at any time, so makes sure that data is written to disk before the applications close or the animations disappear. But you can still get caught out if there is data in the devices internal RAM cache, and 'safe removal' will still be recommended.
If there is a RAM cache in the drive, then the computer may not even know that the data has not yet been committed to the disk. So It can't warn the user. And this is unlikely to change.
But this change is not to allow users to remove the disk, it is to make it less likely to cause problems. It means that the computer will make sure that, as far as it is aware, the information is written to disk before telling the user that it is done - by closing the explorer copy animations, or by signaling to running programs that the write is done so they can complete, by closing the program or the save dialog. With USB hard drives, they signal that it is done while much of the data is still in the O.S.'s cache, which is a good idea for fixed disk but not for removable ones. USB flash drives are already used in this way, this is extending this to USB hard disks.
You are outlining a system that adds several hundred dollars of overheads to each rental, and therefore eliminates the concept of short term, non commercial rentals.
What would have had to happen for the doctor to visit this patient in person? For instance, was he doing lift-saving surgery that afternoon in another hospital? Or just that he had many patients to make contact with in the short time between two other surgeries? There are many situations that would mean that this doctor could not have personally visited this patient.
So, what should the doctor have done? Not used the tech would mean not making contact with the patient at all. Had a nurse go see them, a nurse that can't give full information because they don't know the full situation and aren't a doctor? Or made the personal visits, which would mean not doing something else, like save someone's life in the theater?
Well, in this case, maybe the reaction of the patient means that not making contact at all would have been better. But I doubt all the other patients he talked with by video on that evening would have been happier with not seeing their doctor at all.
Get injured, get put on painkillers, lose job because of injury, insurance goes with it, not can only get treatment from shady doctors who are in the pay of the painkiller manufacturers, they get shut down. Now only source of medical treatment are emergency rooms, stil have pain and are addicted to opioids, and the only source left for them are dealers.
The limit for charging at the moment is getting power into the car, not the batteries ability to store it. There's just a limit to the amount of voltage and amperage you can use with a plug that ordinary people have to connect and disconnect, and that is well within the 'C' rating of those large packs.
There is some use for ultra-capacitors in performance electric vehicles - dump regenerative braking energy into caps instead of the battery for use in the following acceleration. But unless you are decelerating and accelerating lots - think, racing on a track - you'd be better off using the extra mass for more batteries. The shallow charge cycles used in everyday regen don't stress a big battery back, and the heavy duty circuitry to pull charge into and out of big capacitor banks isn't cheap.
What Tesla is most likely interested in is new battery tech that they are in the process of developing. Really, they are paying most of that 200M for their dry electrode know-how and patents. The main thing we need to make electric cars better is more energy per unit volume (and mass) of battery.
Sounds about right. Now she wants to restrict people accessing that information, so they can't make an informed decision about her competence before choosing to be operated on by her.
No, it's too far away from the sun for it to have tidal effects that could lock it.Tidal effects come from the objects having a reasonable size compared to the distance between them - and the difference between it and the sun is huge.
For hydro, you need a big river, a place you can dam that river at a high altitude, and a way you can make a relatively short pipe to a low altitude.
For Norway, a fairly wet country with high mountains and deep fjords, there's lots of opportunities for that. So Norway has lots of hydro power, uses it to cheaply supply energy intensive industry, and exports power to the rest of Europe.
But Norway is not a normal country. Most countries are rather flat and/or rather dry. They exploit what hydro they can, but it is limited.
There's not enough possible hydro to power the world. Wind and solar aren't always available, storage is difficult. We need something that isn't coal to make up the gap, and the only option left is Nuclear.
Parties provide advantages for politicians. So even if you don't make parties part of your political system, the people voted in will arrange themselves into something that acts like political parties, those parties will form alliances and coalitions, and those coalitions will merge into two distinct groups, who will divide the population down the center.
As it is better that such things be regulated in some way, most countries make them part of the constitution, so their power is, to some extent, controlled.
Christy Lynn was tired all the time, and, after months of trying to diagnose the problem, one of her doctors thought they’d figured out why.
“I didn’t fit any of the descriptions for sleep apnea,” she told me on a phone call. “I’m a woman, I wasn’t overweight. No one would have thought to test me, except I was seeing a doctor who had a similar medical history.”
A rat is exposed to heating radio energy over it's whole body at these rates - a human gets that level to only a small amount of one side of their head. A whole lot of other stuff to sink that heat.
It is well known that if you subject tissues to elevated temperatures, you'll get chemical changes that could lead to cancer. And a rat doesn't have enough body area to get rid of heat as easily as a large human, meaning that tissues could easily be overheating.
It burns the hydrogen out of timber, and then condenses some of the water released. I mean, interesting concept, but it doesn't really fill the brief.
That said, actually filling the brief is probably impossible. To fulfill the brief, you'd have to, some way, get rid of the 5GJ of latent heat energy per day - in addition to the energy you add to run your equipment. That's 58kW, constantly.
As they were testing valves and other gas handling, the Apollo 1 spacecraft was being tested with a pure atmosphere environment at 0.3 bar above the ambient, or 1.3 bar absolute. There were many things they were doing wrong with Apollo 1.
No, this is unavoidable if you compress and encrypt. If you do this, you will leak information about your encrypted data through the size of the cyphertext.
The solution is just to never compress data that you are going to encrypt. You might be able to obfusticate matters by padding the compressed data to a standard size, but that only makes the task a little difficult - for instance, you could adjust the size of the compressed payload so your fiddling pushes it across the threshold to the next larger standard size.
Any of the many things they could would effectively reduce world poverty!
This action - increasing the amount of people getting out and about, the small businesses created to service the demand - would be effective in reducing the problems Brett Buck listed.
No problems here at all. If you want to cook your android device by running constant encryption on it, generating coins at a cost of many times their market value - go ahead and sideload the miner.
But most of the apps containing mining software are tricking users into mining for the app developer - and it's a good thing that they are being removed.
The troll may not be directly involved in Tesla. He may not directly hold shorts on Tesla, and his trolling may be driven by his position on oil. Or at least, he may be far enough away from any direct involvement to be able to hide it!
The behavior of an employee - especially an executive employee - affects the company. If a company allows that behavior to continue after they become aware of it, it can be argued that they are acting on the company's behalf, and the company can become liable. I'm sure the investment firm has skin in this game, so the SEC could come after them - and they can no long argue that they didn't know what the troll was doing.
I see a call to the CEO as a low pressure first step, especially in such high stakes games as this.
Oh, and I see the calls to oust Elon from the CEO role as part of the shorts (and industry) attack on Tesla. They know that Elon and his vision is a large part of Tesla's value.
It took me some time to parse it to "Elon Musk Calls (Boss of ((Tesla Troll) Who's Heavily Invested In Oil Industry)". Or is the Boss the one who's heavily invested? Like I said, train wreck

Now we hope this information gets more widely spread.
That is, the name of this surgeon?
I consider 'right to be forgotten' in the same line as 'right to not be offended'. I.E., a 'right' that doesn't exist.
