Nothing annoys a young person like an old person talking about the "good old days" especially when there exists objective historical records demonstrating that they were dumber, they had a lower quality of life, their technology was inferior, their brand of politics had horrendous consequences, etc..
Initial set up of the device could certainly require setting a password to activate. However, there's nothing stopping, and many will, set an easily guessable password anyway. Fools will forever be fools.
Japan may have had these kind of cards for a while but I'm not sure they're a good example. The over whelming majority of transactions in Japan are with cash. Cards (mostly prepaid) have only recently started gaining popularity.
One can always find exceptions to rules. Rules of thumb such a pinching fat, or looking down to see whether or not you can see your toes, etc. work pretty well on the general populace.
BMI was invented as an accommodation to practitioners involved with the general populace such as dietitians and physical trainers, for whom proper evaluation is beyond their intellectual reach. For the majority of the population existing within the bell curve, BMI fits reasonably well. Athletes don't fit the bell curve and anyone running in those circles doesn't give BMI serious consideration. In other words, it was a tool invented to call fat people fat.
Actually it is because RT did so well. I can envision management types trying to find ways to get some ROI on their investment in ARM after the Windows RT flop. In traditional fashion of chasing bad investments with more bad investments, out comes Server "RT".
There's no need to wait and see. This idea is foo'd up for all the same reasons that HAM radio operators have a statistically significanthigher incident of cancer. Why everyone is racing to drop the broadcast power of cellphones. And, why putting your head in the microwave is generally considered a bad idea.
Are you going glow green, set off radiation detectors at airports, or erupt in blisters and boils? No, but just because it isn't ionizing radiation doesn't mean its harmless.
One of my engineers is a native of Iran. He suggests that he feels he is in many ways a different person when he speaks English as opposed to Farsi. I personally am struggling my way through learning Japanese. Though I count myself by no means competent in the language, I can see hints of this in how my thought processes must bend around the language. I don't feel this so much for Spanish, but then I also found it to be a comparative cakewalk to Japanese.
And thus you have describe electric vehicle "fast" chargers. Multiple conductors going to different regions of the pack.
Regardless, I'm still puzzling why everyone is assuming that Tesla is the bar at which electric vehicle battery capacity is set. Tesla is presently the show off for the affluent crowd. The everyman finds their battery pack installed in a Nissan Leaf or similar. Then we're talking about ~20-25kWh and then numbers start to make a bit more sense. I seriously doubt anyone putting this stuff together thinks they're going to get 60kWh in 2 minutes. Even if you could get 60kWh in 2 minutes, you wouldn't need to.
Where ever did you get the idea that for the purpose of electric vehicles we were dealing with 12 volts? Tesla battery pack has a nominal voltage of 375V, the Nissan Leaf's is 360V.
How would there be any increase in heat? If they can stuff power into the battery in less time wouldn't that suggest that there's an increase in efficiency, i.e. lower resistance?
Network topology isn't that straight forward. From your ISP's routing center to different portions of the Internet can be faster or slower than others. Check out network peering topic to understand why YouTube may be slow, while other sites are not.

I thought we already complained about the blue screen of death...
Pins can be read from the POS keypad with rather low tech, minimal effort, particularly the ones using metallic keys.

Not really, it a piece of Dell, err sh*t.

Don't worry, I'm sure the software can scale the model up for you.

One begins to wonder which of the three possibilities is accurate... coincidence, waited for such an event, or furnished the event.
Judging by the sexual harassment reports, I'm guessing no. They must be cutting back on cycling soldiers through SE Asia.
I see what you did there.
Actually they shell South Korea on a regular basis.

Just what mission control wants to deal with. A cramped can more inhospitable and treacherous than the planet they're heading for.

Sure it is. Average ICE efficiency is about 20%. So with that additional bit of calculation done, the effective energy density is about 8MJ/kg.

This is Slashdot. So... wishful thinking, or did you forget to yourself?
