I think my personal challenge is that doing so isn't practical for 99% of the people out there. Even users with a general understanding of firewalls, DMZs, and maybe even VLANs would struggle to effectively control access to a wifi-connected smart television.
The networks need to expect to lose about 20-35% of ad revenue, and work their business model around it. Making the ads "higher value" by being more targeted and invasive-- but shorter-- indicates a failure to understand the problem. TV Advertisements now are effectively worthless. While they originally banked on having an impact on 2-5% of viewers, the quantity and pervasiveness of advertising today has completely marginalized its effectiveness and it is down to *maybe* 1-2%.
If they want viewers to be "engaged" with the advertising, it cannot compete with what the viewer actually wants to see. They have maybe 4 minutes of advertisements they can cram in per hour before crossing this threshold. They can play games with mingling product placement and advertisements to increase value, but really that is it.
Isn't that a function of bow and stern wave interaction? Isn't that eliminated for a fully submerged object? Witness SWIFT and SWATH catamaran designs?
I did HK-Macau one way on hovercraft and one way on hydrofoil. Victoria Harbor is one place where arguably the hovercraft is a better solution, given the amount of submerged and semi-submerged debris in the water. I believe there was an accident recently when a hydrofoil hit something, forget if there were casualties or not.
Hydrofoils have come a long way though; look at what they do with sailboats now!
You must not have read the article-- it was a third party binary library compiled on a trojaned Xcode.
Curse you for making me read the actual article... "Using a command line tool, grep, to search the library for known URLs..." Wow! Rocket Science! Makes me want to never purchase an app from the company that paid for the advertisement...
There is reasonable evidence floating around-- what looks like shrapnel in the rear exit door panels, and an "ejection" hole in the same vicinity of the airframe. Nothing conclusive-- the "shrapnel" could have been caused by the door falling on the rocks and being repositioned by search and rescue personnel.
I give it about 60-40 odds of being a bomb vs structural failure from repair.
Systemd will likely be the nail in the coffin for our Linux servers, and push me into just going with Windows. There are already enough little issues with Samba that the pain isn't worth it.
Sorry, but you are wrong. What matters is that the technology available for a $130k car today can be improved on to the point that we may see a $35k car with more power, longer range, lighter weight, etc.
Research is about what comes next. There are organic improvements and step changes (like lead acid->lithium ion)-- both are important but the step-changes are what changes the world.
Not to mention non-contact voltage sensors plus a live voltage check with a voltmeter once that is done. Shutting off the wrong breaker is why you have safety procedures and MOPs in the first place.
Infrastructure availability should be 4-5 9's for a tier IV facility-- planned and unplanned downtime. Unfortunately, the project in question appears to be a 2N upgrade, which tend to be the most risky projects if done online. A Tier III or Tier II system cannot be safely upgraded online, especially at 400V. It is marginally more practical to do at 208V, but proper safety procedures are essential. You use insulating blankets to safe off any live parts, gear up in the space suits, etc... and it can be done.
In the US though the fines would be huge. It will eventually lead to either IT failover solutions to remote sites that are 100% reliable, or 3N distribution systems.
Today though everybody thinks they can design/build/operate a data center. On the last note, I know JLL does a better job at mission-critical than CBRE, and they charge more because of it. The added value of designers today is almost nill-- everybody thinks it is easier than it is because it has become a commodity.
You are the employer with a solo plan; you put in $17k as income deferral, another $17k as employer match, and up to $17k in profit sharing. It is great if you have a two-income family where you can live off the other salary.
My wife makes about $60k, and pays $3k in taxes and fees per year, $10k going to various expenses, and the rest straight to 401k. If the money was W2 take-home would be optimistically $10k with $17k in a 401k (if eligible; if not just $25k...)
The agency arrangement should be outlawed-- a sub-contracting arrangement can never pass the smell test unless subs can truly negotiate rates.
That said, if you make $70-150k per year being an independent contract can be great-- $50k into a 401k with only $2k in social security on it, no income tax; claiming all other expenses pre-tax; home office deductions... Over $150k the benefits still exist, but they shift to different areas.
If you take your assignments from Amazon, Amazon controls where, when, and how you work-- for a prolonged period of time, then the intermediary is really just an employer of convenience.
Not really. It takes the engine at least 5 minutes and usually 10-15 to get up to temperature where the SCRs work effectively. The SCRs also do not react quickly to changing load. Average trip lengths are likely in the 10-20 minute range.
To make a diesel efficient, your best bet would be as a range-extender engine in a plug-in hybrid, where the engine can run at peak efficiency for a longer period of time... But this is still less effective than using cng/lng for the same purpose.
No, the power is spread across radio and tv transmitters, cell towers, and the like. The radar sites can be largely passive as long as they are synchronized.

Good riddance.
Same problem for all IoT crap. Effectively you need to firewall it from your trusted network and the Internet, and manage any data exchange.

You develop versions for each country you sell in, which the local subsidiaries. Might create a whole market for "offshore electronics..."
We are in trouble if these government overreaches are not stopped. Don't have much hope personally though.

I doubt Musk's analysis is based simply on the physics of the problem; a large part of the equation is development cost/time, and risk.
Horizontal take-off is a great strategy... if it can be made to work. I think the Virgin Galactic approach is more interesting though.

That is low pressure sodium; it is monochromatic. High pressure sodium has reasonable color rendering.
For efficiency and color rendering the LEDs can offer the best balance, but the biggest advantage to LED is the ability to dim them at low need times.
Agree, but the unsafe condition is some lights working and some not; your eyes can't adapt quickly enough.

Airbus performed the repair apparently after its 2001 tail strike. Also, the aircraft underwent a major maintenance interval recently.
Two things: security through obscurity... and 2^128 words is about 10^30 English languages.

State yes, but not city/county. Sales tax revenues often represent 20-30% for a city, and a third of that is often auto dealerships.
The value car dealerships provide a community are in sales tax revenue with (ironically) low traffic impact.
The value car dealerships provide the consumer is a competitive environment for the maintenance of the car.
The value of the dealerships to the manufacturers is that units are sold when delivered to the lot...

Apparently the package was suspended below the drone with fishing line. Said package/ line snagged on the fence...
So much for situational awareness...
