Europe won't benefit. We'll be lucky to see a roll-out of 1Gbit FTTH, which is being lambasted by some telcos as being too expensive. Then there is the problem of backhaul, and the fact that for now even speeds of 10Mbit are 'good enough' for a lot of people. They'll take higher speeds, but not willing to pay the monthly bill
The *AA shills have long gone. I know the RIAA reared their ugly head there a while back but even the corrupt politicians have stopped listening to them years ago
Thats a new way of defining solar cell efficiency, usually they go by area. It certainly won't power the next generation of electronic devices, maybe in 10 or 20 years something like this might see production
These used to be just IP Cameras, they have been around for years, but now they are suddenly being called IoT devices. I wish this I(di)oT fad would die off and people would just call a spade a spade (or even an IP Spade)
I wish more ISP's would start injecting ads to replace those injected by the Almighty GOOG. You rarely see text ads anymore which were the only somewhat tolerable (in small doses) of ads and now that the Almighty GOOG controls the market prices have gone out of all proportion and way out of budget for a lot of smaller companies.
It would be worth it even just to see the Almighty GOOG throw more of their weight behind net neutrality (because now they only support it when it suits them)
When you see the word Graphene mentioned you can be sure it's perpetually another 10 years from production. When you see any mention of improved solar panels you can be sure its perpetually another 10 years from production.
We'll have had 99 years of Linux on the Desktop by the time you can buy these
They already know there is nothing on it but selfies but they want to get people used to the idea of 'Feds' extracting data from people's iPhones, or else just give would-be terr'ists the idea that their data is secure, when Apple has in fact implemented a backdoor years ago
Ah but that's oldskool solar panels, not the ones we have been repeatedly promised over the years. You'd be better off putting that 35k towards a nuclear bunker if Trump gets elected. Now that it transpires they didn't even use this technology to build a battery 10 years might be on the optimistic side, however a good few of the improved battery technologies promised in the late 2000's should be appearing on the market in the next few years
Perpetually 10 years away, along with the solar panel to fill it. We'll have year of the Linux Desktop about 9 years before you can buy one of these batteries on eBay
EV batteries last a couple of thousand cycles at the most. Which might be 5 or 10 years worth of driving. After that they are recycled into stainless steel pans and other items that aren't batteries. It seems that Lithium ion batteries are harder to recycle back into batteries than for example lead acid or nickel iron (both impractical for powering cars).
So instead of eating into the world's supply of hydrocarbons we're eating into the world's supply of Lithium and a couple of other elements that there isn't all that much of once you start producing 10s of millions of cars. Great progress.
Of course there are ways of getting these metals in plentiful supply from seawater, asteroids and other sources but as with super-efficient solar panels, they're always 10 years away.
More information for them to mine, which is what they really crave. Also this just seems like another step along the way for Google to become the internet. They don't actually like the decentralised nature of the internet so they try to crush the competition by giving away free stuff for a while with the hope of getting people dependent on that service and later charging for it. What would the likes of cloudflare have to say about this?
I used to have one but the network has been dismantled as far as I know. In Ireland pagers never had decent 2-way functionality and they were never popular to begin with.
White lines let you make an assumption that any oncoming traffic will be on their side so you can boot on regardless. Same with traffic lights, if you get rid of them traffic flows better but you have to be more careful navigating the junction. If you do have traffic lights people plough on without looking because the light has given them the go ahead
I suppose because we are moving into a very touchy-feely, 'lets regulate everything' sanitised society where nobody is allowed to do anything that might impose any risk on a fellow human being or even themselves.

No, but they do have real knives

So does this mean previous measurements used to drum up hype for Global Warming are inaccurate?
We all know every terr'ist loves a good cat video

Is anyone else sick sh1t of hearing about driverless cars yet?
At least there is no need to worry about aliens coming to take over our planet that sits nicely in the habitable zone.
Bad news: We'll probably kill ourselves before we get the chance to do the same to another planet
For now, until users get comfortable with the service. Once it gains traction they will be re-writing the terms and conditions.
Also just because a company has a policy, doesn't mean there isn't someone violating it behind the scenes

RIAA.. now there's a name I havn't heard in a while. Are they still around?
I was able to do that with a slightly overclocked PIC12F683 and a few lines of assembly
Plenty of times. Maybe not in the good old US of A because people will be too busy hooting at "idiots"

This would be great for Mars. Astronauts land up after a long hard journey and find 30,000 heads of lettuce waiting for them
Pity no Mini ITX boards available for these yet
