> performance rates on many statistical tasks increased from four percent to 24 percent when the problems were presented using the natural frequency format
I just finished this series, and each of them were among the most original sci-fi books that I've read in years. That is hard to pull off with three longish books, but the author is full of great ideas.
The other important factor with libraries is that books don't suddenly disappear en-masse like they can with a virtual/centrally-controlled commercial entity...
People should remember the particularly ironic case of Amazon removing copies of 1984 from everyone's Kindle, as reported in the
New York Times and
The Guardian.
And what information do you have to back your assertion? According to the standard EV industry report Tesla models are 3 of the top 4 electric cars sold so far this year.
But anyone with some math skills will tell you that with a 50% annual growth rate it doesn't matter much what the current percentage is, it can become a significant fraction of the total within a few years.
Lack of infrastructure doesn't need to be solved overnight either. It took years for gas stations to appear when ICE cars first appeared. If there is a demand, chargers will appear at restaurants, stores, parking lots, etc. either to attract customers or for profit. It wouldn't be unreasonable to locate chargers on lamp posts for metered street parking and pay for it in the same way as the meter (coins, credit card or phone app).
In many cases, campgrounds are already well wired with 240V 30A plugs because people who go camping typically have AC that needs a lot of power, so plugging in your car overnight to charge is not a big deal. You have to be pretty remote not to get any power at a campground.
Like the parent wrote it isn't very often that people spontaneously want to do something way out of the ordinary, and if they do it is likely they can deal with it (eg. rent an RV).
What if they suddenly want to have a vacation across the ocean? The don't take their ICE car either, they fly and rent a car when they get there.
At the same time, a 1.8kW solar install is on the small side. I have a 7.8kW solar system (30x 260W panels) and my house footprint is 1000 sqft, so not huge. That is enough to generate 30-40kWh/day in the summer.
The biggest problem in Canada is that I get zero power from my panels for a couple of months in the winter because of snow cover. Being completely off-grid is not possible in my case.
One gallon of gasoline (for example) is IIRC 34 kWh. To "fill a car with gasoline" (say, a 20 gallon tank) is roughly 700 kWh.
That assumes gasoline is used 100% efficiently to move the car, which it definitely is not. I've read more like 30% efficiency, but don't have a source handy. If you have, say, a 30 MPG car and a 20 gallon tank (which is IMHO on the large side for most cars), that is 600 miles range. A 100 kWh Tesla Model S has a rated range of 335 miles, so by that estimate you need a 180 kWh equivalent battery for 600 miles range.
This is somewhere between half and a third the ENTIRE CAPACITY of a 16 kW premium cell array pretty much covering my SW facing roof for a MONTH.
Even with the over-inflated 700kWh estimate, that is 700 / 16 = 43 hours of peak generation to fully charge. With a more accurate 180 kWh estimate that is about 11 hours to fully charge. Most panels get between 1-6 kWh/kW/day depending on location and time of year (say 3 kWh/kW/day), so more realistically it would take about 180 kWh / (3 kWh/kW/day * 16 kW) = 3.7 days to fully charge for a 600 mile drive. Fortunately, most people only drive about 60 miles/day, which is 10% of your tank, so you need only about 37% of your daily generation to charge the car.
It isn't JUST having the battery capacity needed to equal the range of a gas car between fillups, one has to be able to deliver 700 kWh of energy in (say) five minutes. That is, one needs close to 10 MW of POWER -- a small, dedicated power plant -- to fill a car in the same amount of time it takes to fill it now with gasoline.
Or not. Fill up overnight, as I do, and you have a full "tank" every day. Don't even spend the 10-15 minutes at the gas station, ever. I have a 10kW charger, but I actually limit it to about 4kW so that the battery charges more slowly overnight, and is still warm in the morning (useful in the winter).
Electric motors are much more likely to last a long time than internal combustion engines. There are virtually no moving parts in contact with each other in an electric motor (I've read reports saying 18 moving parts in a Tesla drivetrain), and the motor(s) are directly driving the wheels. Compare that to an ICE with hundreds of moving/wearing parts (valves, pistons, seals, crankshaft, spark plugs, transmission, etc) that need to withstand high temperatures and low tolerances to seal against burning fuel, then convert the explosive force into rotational energy in a different part of the vehicle at varying speeds.
There are already reports of Tesla taxis hitting 250k miles and 300k miles with minimal service.
The other way that MythTV detects commercials is by the appearance and disappearance of the network "watermark logo" in the lower-right corner of the screen. Ironically, as networks have started adding banners and watermarks to the show itself, this also makes it easier to detect the transition to commercials.
I can't say I love paying taxes, but I like the alternative even less. I love in Canada, where health care and education and roads and police are funded by the government, and work well. I definitely wouldn't want to live in the US where they drive taxes down so much that the education system is broken, and hospitals are privately owned for-profit enterprises that capitalize on human suffering.
An alternate approach that may make more money, and would definitely be both more legit and less likely to piss everyone off, would be to use the exploits to get payouts from each company's bug bounty program. Unless the NSA went ahead and preempted this approach by releasing all of their zero-day exploits to the vendors (seems unlikely), they could do this for years, maybe at 10-50k a pop depending on how bad they are.
My kids watched commercial-free TV for a long time when they were young (DVDs and MythTV recorded shows with commercials cut out). However, when they first started watching shows that had commercials (mostly toys and such on kids channels) they were _very_ interested in the commercials themselves. I'd wondered whether I'd made a mistake not exposing them to any commercials at all.
It took a while for them to build up an immunity to commercials before they were annoyed with them, and learned how to edit them out with MythTV themselves.
I would agree. The main reason that Tesla's GPS works well is that they didn't try to invent a new one themselves, but rather use Google Maps for the data and only overlay the charging network information onto that. No need for updates, though one minor issue is that it doesn't work without LTE/3G.
To be clear, SFC claims that including binary ZFS modules with the Linux kernel is a GPL violation. Not even SFC says that ZFS itself is a GPL violation.
Also, by no means is ZFS proprietary, even the OSF approved CDDL as an open-source license.
For PNG files specifically, there is a "pngcheck" utility that parses the file and verifies the contents are valid.
If you want to go a step further, you can use "pngcrush" to parse and repack/compress the file and strip out any extra data chunks that are not required to display the image. That should strip out any malicious or malformed content, and can be run on a sandbox that is not directly accessible, so if there is a compromise of pngcrush or pngcheck the effects can be isolated.

Shouldn't that be from 1-in-25 to 1-in-4?

Lustre is most definitely *not* dead. The removal from staging was a bit of an unfortunate event, but work on getting it cleaned up for re-submission to the kernel is continuing.

Iâ(TM)ve been doing this with MythTV for 15 years.
And doesn't having electric cars avoid the need to import oil, which also makes a country self sufficient?
Note the troll stirring up dissent here is an AC.

I definitely wouldn't want to live in the US where they drive taxes down so much that the education system is broken, and hospitals are privately owned for-profit enterprises that capitalize on human suffering.
Why would they schedule the release for May 24th?
So I can record with MythTV and watch at my convenience without commercials.

Except the Tesla P100D Ludicrous is basically the fastest cars around these days, why bother with a Hellcat?

The ZFS encryption was basically finished before Oracle acquired Sun.
Maybe this is what they have been spending years trying to invent the invisible and undetectable dark matter for?
