But esteemed writers - including Geoffrey Chaucer, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, F. Scott Fitzgerald and George Orwell - have used it for centuries. Effective writing must be crisp and accurate, and those who condone "singular they" frequently depend on its use.
Sorry, it's in the lexicon, despite what the lacking American system teaches. Singular they has existed for longer than anyone currently on this planet has been alive.
I think you were the one lacking the education if you didn't pick up on this kind of simple during your assigned summer reading.
I was taught to actually think critically, hence the sense 'they' makes when the subject being discussed is singular and of indeterminate gender.
"Recommending items based on other items or services consumed is nothing novel"
Exactly this. It's called the upsell, and there's prior art for THOUSANDS of years.

They can be used, as in 'they then attacked the plaintiff,' as long as no gender or number has been specified.
Again, so much for the educational system in America.

"You may not be a native English speaker, so you may not be aware of the fact that we have no gender-neutral, third person, singular pronoun for a person."
Them/they, if there is no name used and no gender declared, are appropriate to use as a gender-neutral third person pronoun.
Actually, that's just because blue is a higher energy potential. Blue wavelengths especially have hazard warnings, as that wavelength has known issues with triggering macular degeneration or making it worse.
Pushing the diode at 200mA only resulted in an actual drop of roughly 8 points from that 52 percent. That's better than current blues used in my panels, which are top-line and only roughly 35% efficient.
But that isn't solving droop. Droop is the speed at which an LED driven at higher currents loses light output, which is a secondary byproduct of this. This mitigates the hell out of it, but doesn't solve the overall issue of light output loss over operative time.
But the higher efficiency is very welcomed. Applying this to create white diodes will let us smack roughly 250 lux/w when all is said and done, and with that, HID lighting has finally met its match, for good.
Spectrum for LED depends more than just phosphor. This also depends on whether or not ceramic recombination packaging is used (converts some light into more wavelengths, giving much superior CRI) or whether or not filters are applied to the plastic coating lens.
"The problem with LEDS (and CFLs) is not the bulbs, but the power converters inside. In every case, they produce a load of heat"
WRONG, DEAD WRONG. Most power converters have a power factor of.95. It's the LEDs that generate the majority of the heat, the best ones only being roughly 40% efficient.
Want to know how I know you don't design LED systems? I've got 150w drivers that run dead cool, pal.
I do make better LED lights. Mostly for growing plants, though. Nobody wants to use my ideas for building interior lighting.
Sucks for them. 12w to light up amost my entire 30x50 back yard is pretty damned good, considering I needed roughly 300w incandescent to do the same thing.

"I don't see how billions would be of any help."
Hurt the taxpayer enough and the taxpayer will make damned sure the government doesn't do this kind of shit ever again.
Good, he needs to sue them for BILLIONS and give them reason to never repeat this mistake again.
If it's the young fighting them, who else would be starting them? The babies? No, thus the older generation is responsible.
He used the SI mole, which neither Americans or Europeans apparently understand.
And I could get it done with less power!
Fuck that, contact me, I'll give you a contract! The porn studios would love it!

So why not build your own? It is ridiculously simple, with the exception of a little math.

And that would be me that posted. Looks like /. is having login problems today.
Take your sweet time and browse alibaba.com. Look at everything.
Yea, limit the current. Works just fine. You only need place the potentiometer AFTER the rectifier.
"Considering that NOTHING has a warranty that matches up with your demand"
So you think. I can offer upwards of a 25 year warranty, pal. I do, in some of my LED-based crop production systems.
What were you saying?
You say 20 years of CFL usage then try to equate that with LED.
What the fuck?
4+ years LED going here, still strong, still looking at power bills under $60 every month, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, and loving it.
And the lights only cost me $5 a piece, plus a little bit of shipping.

Uh, yes, it is a solved problem. The problem is, that most companies don't want to move away from a voltage clamp + PWM and go constant current.
Don't buy shit LEDs using Pulse Width Modulation, and maybe actually do some research on LEDs before saying such stupid things.
Today we use ceramic recombination and phosphors to achieve near-blackbody radiation output from an LED. CRI past 90, all day.
I'm using them for my main computer station.
It's called Pulse Width Modulation. LEDs driven at a constant current will not exhibit this strobing effect. Do not listen to Windbourne.
