The story about it I read last week said that he did test it on another book and showed it to her to convince her it was safe.
That's why she's not going to prison. They'll drop charges, or she'll get acquitted. He asked to do the stunt, she said no, and he kept trying until he convinced her it was safe. Stupid? Yes. Manslaughter? No, she only did it after he had convinced her it would be OK.
The key thing here is that if they had done the stunt successfully, everything is legal. This is no different than a circus accident at the knife-throwing event.
The layer that bonds the cells to the glass should be EVA and should melt under 300F. Usually that will get all the layers apart. The only real exception is if the whole inside is potted with resin, which is mostly in the small portable panels.
In 1999 I was listening to a Larry Wall interview and he said that if you want to do all your programming with OOP then Ruby is a better language than Perl. And then he launched into a defense of procedural programming.
I totally agree. Though mostly I use C. But when I want OOP or scripting, I turn to Ruby.
I predict mRuby will become popular when common microcontrollers get just a tiny bit bigger.
1) Glass solar panels use EVA plastic film for the lamination, and over the back for encapsulation. If they're using something more expensive, it is a plastic resin of some sort. The silicon cells are very very fragile, you have to have encapsulation, and that means plastic.
2) The plastic film is UV resistant and that is what they would use to protect the cell even if they weren't already using it in the lamination.
The one thing they do have is lots of chrome wire. Chrome is bad, don't eat that. Do not under any circumstances grind the chrome into a fine powder and snort it. Do not heat it over 3000F. If you want to melt the glass down, heat it to 300F and separate the cells from the glass before melting. Easy. But don't breath the dust from broken cells either.
They're riding along in the street with headphones staring at their cell phones. The only thing saving their lives is the screeching sounds coming from the bearings. (pro tip: spherical roller thrust bearings)
Or if they're poor or hip enough, the sound of the two stroke leaf blower engine.
Discarded solar panels, which contain dangerous elements such as lead, chromium, and cadmium, are piling up around the world
What a bullshit article.
In their defense, they did find a Cadbury chocolate wrapper stuck to one of the solar panels, and it is an easy mistake to make when the words are that big.
Also, every panels has multiple leads. That means it is leaded, right?
It wasn't you. If you wanted him to like you, you'd have had to blame some libraals for the problems with the story. There is nothing honest you could have said to get a more a honest response.
Lol really, different things are different?! IC chips containing precious metals can't possibly be different than solar panels. Surely they would just burn anything that says "e-waste" on it, and huff the fumes hoping precious metals will fall from the sky? No?
They make this thing called the internet, you could look up which type of place passes that sort of law, and what the opinions of various local political groups is.
Oh, right, sorry, I forgot you were alliterate. How insensitive to talk about reading.
I did have the facts straight, and your pedanticism is very narrow and unlikely to be accurate.
What percent of a ground up wasp nest is made of wasp? What do you think a wasp nest is made of, twigs the wasp collects and brings home? If you knew what a wasp nest even is, you wouldn't think that there was a pedanticism to offer there. You can't have wasp nest without wasp secretions, and those secretions are made of wasp. A wasp nest is full of wasp.
Just like, bird nest soup is made of bird spit. That's the whole point; it is not a tea made from twigs, it is the bird content that makes the dish.
You also can't have bee pollen without the bee spit.
Generally speaking, there are repeater junctions and if you're willing to pay the fee for the install you can get an access point added.
It is not uncommon for rural groups to create a co-op and get access. No need to imagine nefarious plots, just look at what people do already. In your scenario for example, maybe Audrey's barn will have a line of sight high speed wireless connection to the top of the pole a few miles away that has the nearest access point, and so they just have to run their fiber from the barn to each property.
You can also install fiber onto the power poles for about $30k/mile. How many people is it, and how much money do they have? There are mountaintops in my area where the rich people at the top have fiber, and the people in the village at the bottom have dialup because they couldn't afford to buy in.
If you read Adam Smith, he explains it; a free market can't exist naturally. They come about when government regulates an industry to enforce trust and ensure that new market entrants have a level playing field. When government continually and disinterestedly prevents entrenched interests from interfering with competitors and newcomers, then a Free Market can arise.
There are lots of them, the language has just been heavily attacked and obfuscated by the fuedalists, so people don't realize it and would identify the wrong things if they tried.
There are lots of places with only 1 provider, and in those places anybody who is a Republican will tell you it is because of regulations. In a few of those places, the ones that are most "red," it is actually true, however, in most of them it is just straight hogwash. They just presume it is the ebil gubermint that is at fault, whatever is wrong. And if they discover that no such law exists... they immediately propose to enact one!
Mine was already full of Goop stones and warnings not to put wasps in vaginas. The health section has been spammy shit-show for years, but the headlines were higher quality.
The thing is, the headline news quality has gone way down lately too. It used to be full of hard news, now it is over 50% misleading clickbait crap, even when it looks like it will be hard news.
The one thing it had going for it was the quality interface that gave access to a large enough quantity of data so that a person could eventually find all the news they wanted. The redesign substantially reduces the data quantity, with no changes at all that would increase quality.
I don't want a biased feed that will give me the "real" news, or the news important to virtuous people, I just want the mainstream horseshit in a single straightforwards pile so that I can learn what is being said and triangulate a few truths if I care.
Yeah, but Russia has to target the UK, and the UK only have a few warheads, so as much as they'd love to toss a few off on the French, they just don't have the time.
It couldn't have been that easy - these machines have MACHINE INTELLIGENCE.
AND they're bolted to the floor!
Right, that is why these guys got caught. When the network cable was reconnected and the transactions couldn't be processed, the machine intelligently wrote down the information and notified the appropriate authority.
Same as any human retail clerk, these machines aren't instructed to try to prevent all cases of fraud, instead they're trained to follow strict procedures and write down any exceptions or oddities for auditing at another layer.
In the old days when the machines were stupid, you could just rock it back and forth until some cookies bounced over the wire, and the machine wouldn't even know anything had happened. It certainly wouldn't write it down in case somebody wanted to do an audit.

Yes.
The web fad moved on. They're never coming back. And good riddance.
Ruby will continue to grow in popularity for other types of uses.
A couple points:
1) Glass solar panels use EVA plastic film for the lamination, and over the back for encapsulation. If they're using something more expensive, it is a plastic resin of some sort. The silicon cells are very very fragile, you have to have encapsulation, and that means plastic.
2) The plastic film is UV resistant and that is what they would use to protect the cell even if they weren't already using it in the lamination.

In the old days we did Microsoft Free Fridays, so there is at least some tradition.
Some of us are still waiting, not all Superfund cleanups are funded.
So that they can watch a little numerical counter go up. Visual feedback through the phone.
Exists, but not a successful product.
Yep.
The new fad is DIY electric skateboards.

The Harry Potter era was better.

He thinks "hacking" means "getting charged with computer crimes," so he missed the point.

Pass.
Look, I win 1 wasteland!
I'll take France, who else on that list is even bothering to target them?
Where my smartphone is secretly using my brain for memory storage?
Yes, it is calculating and storing write-only garbage data using its biological subprocessor and DMA.
