You're still missing the point - in many classes now days, kW and kWh are taught to be the same thing and understood automatically. Much like the (you) understood bit of English.
Aka, it's automatically understood to mean that any time power is talked about, time is automatically a fator, with the unit of time being the hour.
1. First get just the phone/internet service. They'll give you one phone modem. Don't get the ultra/top-tier 'upgrade' plan.
2. Wait a month, use your internet and phone like normal. Call Charter up after that time, and say you want to upgrade your package. They'll say they have to give you a different modem in order to handle the upgraded speeds as the phone modem will not handle those speeds.
3. Installer comes out, hooks up both cable modems (one for phone, one for internet) gets the new modem provisioned, leaves the other modem practically untouched, leaves.
4. Hook up an ethernet cable to the phone modem. Marvel as you get the full speed the modem supposedly could not support. Check your new internet connection. Marvel as it gets the same full speed. Run speed tests on both at the same time. Enjoy the fact you've got two solid pipelines for the price of one, plus phone line. Lemme see, dual 100/5 lines plus phone for ~110 a month. I wish I could multiplex those!
"Logically you do not charge electric vehicles at a "commercial vehicle charging station" but at any regularly used parking point via induction charging."
Induction sucks. You lose tons of power utilizing that as a charging method. Even with coils wrapped directly around the glass of the induction lamp I made with Anko Solara, you still drop 30%-ish of your power straight to the air - that's WITH shielding around the coils to help prevent loss.
I would like to see a locking hydraulics/pneumatics system in place, though. Since there is no power, using leverage is only going to get you so far until you tire. You will still tire wearing this, despite the design to make it easy(ish) to move around while wearing it and making it easier to move heavier loads.
This way, when you get tired of holding your hands above your head to keep some drywall in place, you can literally let go inside the suit, and relax your arms, and the suit will remain upright-extended to support that sheet while you rest.
Other than that, this is IMHO a fairly clever design and what I would consider a useful human-powered exo. In fact, given it needs no power, I'd be closer to calling this a true exoskeleton. Now, we get these to produce power (like insects such as wasp/hornet exoskeletons can do) and we're set for some serious daytime work.
Costs are dropping with the advent of meshed wireless networking ad wireless ISPs. The terminal itself is a few grand, $10 a megabyte ($1,000 for a 100MB Immarsat BGAN card)
Latency is typical of satellite connections. But I'm not using this for gaming or stock market stuff, so that becomes a non-issue. I use this for e-mails and business IMs while out and about.
As long as I can see a clear sky, I have a connection.
And since this is purely a business expense, a complete write-off.
So you wrote a program that knocks users on public wifi off if they're being hogs?
What if I'm using that connection to download something legal for MY work, asshole?
Being a digital nomad, you should be more than competent enough to pay for your own hotspot and secure it yourself instead of being an asshole to everyone else around you. If you rely upon being connected while mobile THAT MUCH, it's common fucking sense (which you seem to lack in spades.)
Instead you write a program that will invariably get used on and affect legitimate users.
Fuck off and think before you write code, next time.
"The other part is that many trade secrets lay within those binary blobs.."
Gimme a break. By now other companies have come up with the same algorithms and processes for optimal execution of specific commands on given silicon. The shit shouldn't be patentable or trade secret in the first place as it's all math.
Seriously. Two years into a three year contract and they haven't provided what is advertised within a reasonable effort?
It's only been just under a year for the company I just got hired on, I found the website isn't working as advertised, and was never meant to (hard-coded HTML as placeholders, unable to accept AJAX input from my auction plugin despite them saying they could do it) and we're already lawyering up.
We've already been hit with tens of thousands of dollars in losses because of the site - you better believe you're getting hit for as much and you need to be contacting a lawyer as this is going beyond small claims court.
Two things make me think the whole red/blue thing is wrong.
A. Shelf life of plants grown under red/blue only light. So far, I have results from the UK and Australia regarding leaf lettuces grown under full-spectrum and red/blue LEDs. The shelf life of plants grown under white light is almost double that of the shelf life of plants grown under red/blue. The plants grown under red/blue tend to have weaker stem/water transport systems.
B. While red/blue LEDs are getting closer and closer, they are still not providing the yield nor huge plants the cannabis industry expected versus HPS. While I loathe this rating, everyone uses and 'understands' it, so I'll use it here. An HPS has been shown, even in the lower power ranges, to provide over 3-4 grams per watt of rated lamp power. Red/Blue LEDs with some of the best methods are only really hitting ~2 g/w. I fixed that somewhat by increasing the blue output (because blue is needed for biomass production) but that only helped with about a 5% gain.
No, it doesn't. Did you even read and comprehend the entire thing? Light that either passes through or is reflected is still eventually absorbed if it continues to be reflected towards and transmitted through leaf tissues. And that is where the higher quantum efficiency comes in.
This is why an HPS lamp can provide such a huge yield and grow far larger-sized plants.
And I don't sell LEDs any more - I run direct fabrication of junctions, now, along with the designing and building of hydroponics buildings. EcogroLED is no longer my business, hasn't been for... two years.
The University and Professor are named in the article. Finding the study itself shouldn't be too difficult, I can't find it this moment as I'm at work.
Slashdot Mirror
No, I'm talking about Linux. Tried making an encrypted RAMDisk. DEAD KERNEL. Memory fills up, kernel hard lock, the end of system until reboot.
Just stop breaking things! You people don't even have fully-working Kernels, yet.
Yes, your kernel is broken. I can hardlock it using the swap file in a weird way you shouldn't even allow in the first place.
From the beginning version to the most recent version, this problem still exists.
Of course we're going to rant.
Fix the old shit first before pushing something new and similarly broken upon us so we at least have something stable to fall back upon.

Catch up with the rest of the world, now!
Here, enjoy this little bit of information.
You *WANT* Charter's modems. Here's why:
1. First get just the phone/internet service. They'll give you one phone modem. Don't get the ultra/top-tier 'upgrade' plan.
2. Wait a month, use your internet and phone like normal. Call Charter up after that time, and say you want to upgrade your package. They'll say they have to give you a different modem in order to handle the upgraded speeds as the phone modem will not handle those speeds.

Yea, we've got them deployed for hospital backups.
Try again when you actually utilize these things in everything from hydroponics buildings to hospitals.
"There is no such thing as 100kW/hr battery."
Uhhh. Nuclear batteries can get that high and MUCH higher.
Try again when you actually know about batteries.
"Logically you do not charge electric vehicles at a "commercial vehicle charging station" but at any regularly used parking point via induction charging."
Induction sucks. You lose tons of power utilizing that as a charging method. Even with coils wrapped directly around the glass of the induction lamp I made with Anko Solara, you still drop 30%-ish of your power straight to the air - that's WITH shielding around the coils to help prevent loss.
Direct connection is ALWAYS superior.
We're not using AC to charge, so no, surface area does not matter. Just conductor size.
You know, I found the timing of this announcement vs Rossi's latest announcement to be rather suspicious.
Germanic means shit when we have a base language to work from.
If this wasn't immediately obvious, then most of you likely have no reason to be in the scientific field.

"Do modern AMD cards still have soft-disabled capabilities?"
Yup. Today we just toss a firmware blob in there to unlock it and then fix the card report string.
OTOH, that's also how cards get counterfeited, as well.
"Obviously you've never been a digital nomad."
Tel that to my 512kbit portable satellite internet connection. Pretty much anywhere in the northern hemisphere, I have a connection.
Annnnd I've had that for roughly a decade.
So you wrote a program that knocks users on public wifi off if they're being hogs?
What if I'm using that connection to download something legal for MY work, asshole?

"Do you think the reactions 'round here would be different if it had been a woman harassing a guy?"
Considering about half of this site is firmly SJW material - yes.
Are you that blind?
"you'll have to provide evidence that that's the case; it's not self-evident."
Another ignorant idiot that has never heard of Omega Drivers.
Been around for a decade plus, still unheard of.
Wake up. We're still implementing shit DX13 will not even have.
"New DX versions often require new hardware"
And this is why OpenGL is superior, and always has been.
At roughly 33% less power/cycle cost vs DX which requires being sent through the CPU two or three times instead of going directly to the GPU.
Plus, OpenGL can have anything added in - you're stuck with DX features.

"That's why plants look green."
Uh, have you ever encountered a purpurea? Any variegated style of plant? Guess what color most of those tend to NOT be?
Green.
"it ignores the light reflected by the leaf"
No, it doesn't. Did you even read and comprehend the entire thing? Light that either passes through or is reflected is still eventually absorbed if it continues to be reflected towards and transmitted through leaf tissues.
And that is where the higher quantum efficiency comes in.

Utilize red/green instead of blue/green.
