"According to their 10-Year Power Site Plan [frcc.com] that was filed in April of 2018..."
For some reason, this announcement sounds like political greenwashing. The current voter-initiated ballot proposal to open Florida's energy market up to competition would reduce profits to the state-run monopoly.
NOTE: I was actively petitioning for this campaign in Florida for a couple weeks -Floridians all said their energy bills were too expensive, especially when they're seeing relatives in other states with far-lower bills. My water bill in Colorado is 1/10 of a similar residential bill my friend pays in Wisconsin. That last one begs for pause, as Colorado is a semi-arid desert, whereas Wisconsin is right next to the largest fresh water deposit in the world. Seriously, wtf??
Dr. Kynes: It's a high efficiency filter and heat exchange system. Perspiration passes through the first layer, and is gathered in the second, Breathing and walking provide the pumping action.... With a Fremen suit in good working condition, life can be sustained for weeks, even in the deep arctic, sire. With your permission. (motions to Paul)
Dr. Kynes: You've worn a heatsuit before.
Paul Atreides: No.
Dr. Kynes: Your suit is fitted antarctic fashion. Who told you how to do that?
Yet here we are, countries making major, sustained efforts to do something about climate change.
I agree, but that's other countries... It helps immensely if you have incentives from the federal government. Sunset the subsidies given to Big Oil and give them to solar, wind, geothermal, etc. Maybe set up a department of Energy Transition (or sub department of the DOE) to help streamline the switchover that's staffed by professionals and academics (mainly the latter, please) deep in said tech.
It's one thing for states, counties, and their respective cities to take the onus upon themselves to reduce emissions, and it's much slower than a federally-mandated and incentivized roadmap.
Sadly, under Trump, all we've done is go in the other direction... allow more oil exploration/extraction on pristine lands, end tax credits for electric vehicles, etc.
Which made me think, if kids walked into a store that looked like a cross between Radio Shack (of yore) and FAO Schwarz (also of yore), maybe kids could see tangible results of homebrew tech integration to create dazzling, unique items.
C'mon here... really? Facebook wasn't even around when Craigslist hit the scene. Craigslist, in their (probably looked back with horror) extreme benevolence gave people the power of free classified adds. Dating services like Match, Eharmony, and PoF probably did more to take away from newspapers' profit-margins than Google, Twitter (c'mon really??), and Facebook ever did.
Yup, Craigslist and dating services killed journalism.
I don't fall for Huang's feel-good explanation for a couple reasons... One, trash-talking AMD's new Radeon 7. Two, since the Switch basically does the Shield better than Nvidia was willing to, why fight a product that has all the games, too??
Chip CEOs throw shade at each other at CES: 'Lousy and nothing new'
Huang continued to criticize Su's stage moment, saying, “Wow, underwhelming, huh?" “Weird launch," he added. "Maybe they thought of it this morning."
I've always assumed that the real reason to send the sound for external processing is so that it can be stored and analyzed.
Yup, as most people don't remember, Siri was created by an app developer and Apple bought it before the launch of the 4s... My friend had it, loved it, and it didn't need a data connection to do a lot of stuff. Once the 4s came out, it was deleted from his 4. I don't recall if he got a refund.
Apple just wanted the voice data for pure analysis.
You can still control your phone with voice options in accessibility settings to avoid sending your data to Apple via Siri.
On an unrelated note, I think the developers said Siri is an anagram for iSir.
I've thought for a long time that there needs to be a Sarcasm option. I often mod Funny when I sense sarcasm, but it's not the best option, as sarcasm is usually a dry, wry, witty comment.
And this was only enabled by the easy-to-use interface, pioneered by the (once) masters of UI/UX, of the iPhone.
Let's face it... Mac OS influenced Windows. iOS influenced Android. And new owners of iPhones influenced Blackberry/Nokia owners to upgrade --lest you look like you're living in the past.
Just think about it.. the government didn't have to stoop to Orwellian means to track peoples' movements, behaviors and general actions/thoughts by installing cameras in everyone's home...we decided to put those tracking devices on us, on our own dime!
They're not as innocent as they claim to be. They're not as dedicated as they claim to be.
That isn't very surprising, considering Facebook's business model. The biggest benefit of Facebook owning a device in your home is that it provides the company with another data stream for its ad-targeting business.
Where "another" data stream being your phone... obviously. I strongly encourage everyone to delete their Facebook profile. You may be giving FB advert monies, but you're definitely giving the US Gov more.
...designed for gamers who value performance and power over bells and whistles like waterproofing and wireless charging...
Given the addition of waterproofing and wireless charging, the Razer Phone 2 appears...
Yeah, this is a poorly-constructed summary. It really blurs what gamers feel are necessary features to have. Personally, I think most mobile gamers would like waterproofing, especially if they're playing in the loo.
More like a 30-60 day buffer... If the gov is demanding that tech companies hold user data for two+ years, why can't we just demand police do the same?
And regarding emergency recording based on gunshots.. Uh, yeah, that's a bit too late for describing events leading up to the need to discharge a gun. Cameras should come on the moment a cop finds reason to engage with the general public...maybe a proximity sensor via Bluetooth that immediately turns them on when a cop exits his car.
...not doing anything for security. It does create a false sense of security though (making things actually worse).../p>
A valid assessment... and, Google's being quite the hypocrite by delivering THEIR OWN search results via http. Seriously... I wish I was joking. My personal domain with my artwork isn't viewable via Chrome or Safari because it doesn't have (or need) a cert.
FF FTW, but even they're getting wonky. Pale Moon??
I concur... it really happened with the death of preferences. How they gave up to Windows/Linux for the power users who do graphics for a living. How their utter focus to create a top mobie OS led to the abandonment of desktop upgrades and updates --both MENINGFUL, EXPANDABLE hardware, not this crappy torus-tower and meaningful feature upgrades and security updates that spanned back to hardware that's already deemed Obsolete --not by me! How you can't take their hardware without ruining it, like glued keyboards...and now they want to brick your device for 3-party repairs?? I don't think so!!!
I'm done with Apple. That deal was recently sealed when I bought a used iPhone 6s with iOs11. I asked a friend to see how their Android phone would handle a direct URL to an MP3 file. After seeing how Android gave the option to either play or save on the local drive--where it then asked where to save it...what an original thought!/sarcsm
I'm done with Apple. Their Files app doesn't even work, regardless if you can play an MP3 you (can't) download. I could SERIOUSLY go on, but the damage is done. They lost it. In fact, if they really want to get back in the game, they need to make me the next Steve Jobs-parking space and all./dream
History: Old Apple user from the System7 days... Love Unixes and graphics, mostly 3D, like Alias/Wavefront Studio --yeah, back in the late 90s.
Sounds like a crude, reverse-engineered Starlite.. White paint's got nothing on this seemingly revolutionary product... what a history of what never became.
Note: I just became aware of this chemical marvel via a recent/. post remembering its history. Here's the BBC video that's referenced in the synopsis.
Slashdot Mirror
So these new consoles aren't compatible with analogue games, apparently.
When I was working in IT at my university, we used to call that problem, PEBCAK...
Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard
Ban Fortnite..? It's like Harry doesn't know about Slashdot.

I'll offer another film-based analogy:
Dr. Kynes: It's a high efficiency filter and heat exchange system. Perspiration passes through the first layer, and is gathered in the second, Breathing and walking provide the pumping action. ... With a Fremen suit in good working condition, life can be sustained for weeks, even in the deep arctic, sire. With your permission. (motions to Paul)

Paul Atreides: No.
Dr. Kynes: Your suit is fitted antarctic fashion. Who told you how to do that?
Paul: No one. It seemed the proper way.

Yeha! Radio Shack used to be the shit, I agree.

Apparently the marketing team wasn't told they'd sell more if they sold them for $33 cheaper... not a very leet move for such leet hardware!

Best release number, ever!
... I'm stoned as fuck.
Earthlings are so interesting.
I read that as Burglar-Flipping Robot... sounds much better when you're stoned :D
Shit, they'd problably make more money if they flipped burglars - mount a camera and hilarious break-in attempts will trend, profit!

That's not at all what it is. But it is.
There's no RFID chip being printed within a 3D printed object.
The tech uses gears with special spacing on teeth to wind a spring with mechanical motion being the power source.
What they don't get into is the fact there has to be something conductive to transmit the encoded info to the wifi receiver.
This gets more to the core of their tech which I think could be pervasive, especially in hospitals and nursing homes.
