LTO (like Toshiba's SCiB) has only recharge speed and durability going for it. Everything else about it is terrible, including energy density (vastly inferior to other li-ion chemistries - their best ones are something like 100Wh/kg), and the most important aspect, price. LTO is extremely expensive ($1000/kWh at present; most EVs use batteries in the ballpark of ~$150/kWh).
So now Toshiba has announced that their next generation is going to include.... niobium? A metal that costs about $200 per kilogram?
I guess that they better get this one out on the market before the come out with their next battery based on cesium, holmium and platinum;)
R&D experiments lead to technology breakthroughs. Its surprisingly disappointing that this research is not being done in the wealthest country in the world.
Nope, he called the Democratic Party of the US progressive. He also said, the Chinese single Party has no competition, so it could embrace the progressive idea of man-made climate change and it actively fights against it. Partly, because their smog-ridden great cities suffered more than present day US cities. Having no progressive competition left them acting freely for the greater good of their people (in this issue).
Contrary to you, realizing that pollution/climate change is a problem and that developing green energies will also create jobs, it is indeed progressive. Much more than the Orange Clown's dumb denial. I bet, China will open factories in the US where the White Trash can build wind turbines and solar panels instead of cars AND Trump will PAY FOR IT.
I thought that the Chinese promoted internal competition for the best products. And then to market these same products worldwide. Trump's and the GOP's preoccupation is Trump vs GOP vs News Agencies and Trump Vs healthcare and Tax reform that would line Trumps kids, and Trump himself with multiple millions / billions of dollars. Now we have to ask, "Are the hurricanes that were experienced and the fires in California just freak accidents, or a coming annual event? With natural disasters, can the USA afford to reduce corporate income tax? Maybe, corporations should look at director and VP salaries and bring them down to earth. The money saved there should go to the shareholders. -- whoops, I am dreaming. When are the shareholders going to get a fair deal?
I'm surprised he doesn't appear to realize one of the reasons the PC market is declining is because there are people out there that are hanging on to their older PCs that still get the job done just to avoid Microsoft's flagship OS and it's spying.
You know, something that's entirely his fault that happened entirely on his watch.
I still use XP on one of my favorite computers. And Linux on the others That's a 10yr old Plus, XP system
...it does not matter. Put in the hard work. Keep your head down and solve problems. If you're not getting what you deserve, move elsewhere. Your skills are obviously, at least in your mind, in great demand so landing a better job will be easy.
Ellison has a 100foot yacht. Needed the skimmed money to cover the 10 man crew salaries. Crew is used to maintain it.
How? By site policies being neither here nor there with respect to net neutrality.
The whole point of net neutrality is to create a kind of unfettered competition between information sources, not to compel every information source to have a policy for its content that you approve of. The solution to your not liking Yourtube's monetization policy is to turn to a different site, something you'll be hampered from doing under a non-neutral Internet.
If you take away net neutrality, do you open the door to competition? Why can't your city do what is being planned for my city, that is free everywhere wifi. Our big cross-Canada ISP is rolling out fibre to remote villages, and to new subdivisions. It is fibre to the home. The interface is fibre to modem-router.
That's not possible. It's like everyone should have their own motorway to wherever they want to travel. Reality is that from time to time there's traffic congestion that causes problems.
So each hop in a network between the source and your terminal should share in the profit that overriding net-neutrality will produce. I can see your bill being itemized, with virus attacks on your system being charged to you.
This just isn't right. If they are seeking the ID of people who posed actual physical threats, or were involved in UNLAWFUL activity (such as genuine libel, inciting riots, participating in violence or riots, etc), that might be justified.
Being caught up in an ID disclosure just because one visited a web site or Facebook page goes well beyond what could possibly necessary.
More info needed, especially when it is a CNN article.
Did they say only those accounts. If not, give them three for one, better, 5 for 1.
Nah, in the US we use the strategy of having horrific levels of violence pretty much all the time, so we don't really overreact to individual mass killings.
It's kind of like making sure that your background radiation is high enough that you don't really mind an occasional meltdown.
Actually, the way I see it, there is so much violence presented on American TV/Video/Radio/Newspapers, etc, that you have become inured to it. Its only when it strikes home, that you will have a reaction.
I wonder what causes some people to be prone and others not? I've never had a cavity at 37, nor has my father at 67. My mother, however, has had many. Same with my sister. Everyone has great dental hygiene.
You may have grown up and drank fluoridated water. Naturally fluoridated or low floride levels added to city water are not dangerous or toxic, even if boiled to reduce the water in food by 10000 times. Fluoride is said, prevents tooth decay.
NAFTA and the Paris Climate Change Accord are not really comparable. NAFTA is a legally binding treaty with enforceable obligations on all parties. PCCA is symbolic, and countries can set their own goals, with no consequences for failure to abide by them. So "pulling out" of PCCA just means that America will no longer need to make up fake goals. I can't even imagine what there could possibly be to "renegotiate" since there is (almost) nothing there.
This is our future, everybody: not enough money to buy a house, living as nomads in a mobile home, driving from seasonal work with no benefits, when we can get it.
This is actually the proper thing to do constitutionally.
Obama, from what I understand really overstepped his constitutional powers by enacting this in the first place.
I understand his heart was in the right place, but I believe this was an overreach of his powers and should be rescinded.
If the US wants it as part of our Law...then congress should be the ones to enact it.
Obama was hoping that congress would act. Now they have no choice. Act or lose some kids that know and love America since before the kids reached puberty.
Canada is willing to accept 30,000 DACA immediately.
Phronix reported that AMD has debugged the problem and that all CPUs (1600-1800x for example) manufactured after week 30 (30 July) will not have this problem. There is a date of manufacture engraved on the cpu cover.
Yes, it is. Specifically monopolies are one of the oldest and best-understood failings of the free market. As soon as you drive the competition out of business, there's no longer a free market, and you reap the rewards of being the only provider. Meanwhile no new competition arises, because everyone knows that the minute they enter the market the monopolist can drop prices long enough to drive you out of business, so trying to compete is just an exercise in throwing away your startup investment, which could have been better spent entering a market not dominated by a monopolist.
Capitalism and the free market are social technologies, not holy edicts. Only a fool ignores their very real failings while clinging to an idealized fantasy.
Perfect example is Walmart, which is not the best place to shop. Fortunately for Canadians, venture capitalists funded three large Canadian Grocery Chains, that now have a pharmacy and a Childrens/bedding areas in the larger stores. Walmart is #3 in pricing and #99 in quality.
Total tax rate for average person in the US is lower than most European countries... but not by much.
VAT obviously higher than Sales Tax over here but made up in other ways.
But what do Europeans get for slightly more taxes?
Public Healthcare (lower infant mortality, fewer chronic diseases and high expected lifespan). Clean-efficient public transport. More parks and public spaces in urban areas. All schools properly funded, not just ones in areas with wealthy residents. Lots... lots... more...
I'd trade slightly higher taxes if it meant the perks that you get in Europe...... of course, higher taxes in the US means more money to spend on the military, not on anything useful.
Same applies to Canada. And Canada has true multiculturism and a message of "Welcome" to newcomers.
In other news, in the hands of Law Enforcement, tasers produced far fewer deaths than firearms!
On a more serious note, I am a little disturbed by the occasional video that comes out showing cops tasing someone over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over, and low and behold, it turns out not to be good for the person being tased.
NO, you are wrong.
Most police officers would not have and did not use their guns, because they knew the outcome would be fatal. The Taser, they were trained to believe, would just stun the targeted person, and with an immediate follow up, they could arrest/handcuff the stunned victim. However, some victims suffered from the electric shock, and some police officers lost control from anger or excitementn and triggered multiple taser shocks, that caused a death.
Why bother. Astronomers are saying that in roughly 2,500 years, a large set of space crap, some as big as the moon will be passing by and hitting earth. The consensus from these individuals is that the life on the earth will be wiped out.
So why worry about global warming. Genius POTUS has said it's bullshit.
With the absence of a diesal engine, and with some of the power actually distributed to the trailer wheels, would you not think, you could have the batteries where the engine compartment existed. And would not the cost of the cab come down?
And you could swap cabs faster than the time it takes to recharge the batteries.
Our public schools are there to teach and to protect children. Children who do not have the basic vaccine for measles, whooping cough, diphtheria, mumps, polio, chicken pox, etc are not allowed to attend school. The protection of the entire class from a child whose parents don't believe in vaccinations raises that's child to be an infectious carrier of one of the mentioned illnesses.
We can protect our children, not we can't protect idiots.

You forgot, they stand for the anthem, and do pledge allegiance to the USA.
If my cpu fan starts to accelerate, it is a sure sign that my system is being exploited. Ergo, I shut it down and strart a different browser.
This is almost head-smackingly bad.

Sadia Afroz is the main public-sector researcher on this topic (stylometric machine learning).
She gave a relevant introduction in 2013
stylometric analysis to track anonymous users in the underground and the corresponding video regarding darknet user tracking through stylometry.
She commented a while ago "Please do not ask me to deanonymize Satoshi." and gave reasons.

It is also going to be helped along by Trumps insistance on the Republicans repealing the ACA.
