Pedantic

Being a bit pedantic here, but the braking distance of a car is not reduced at all by having motors, as the limit is already defined by the tyre/road interaction, assuming both road and suspension are in good condition.

Re: Switzerland

Agree, but the same as being in a bar liked by and full of racist people does not make you a racist, but it sure looks llike either you dont care about the company or you are one of them.

Re: Love it!

I am so sorry for you.

Re: A milestone, surely

As far as I can see, that data is not complete (still very cool), as I cant see data from Iran, Russia, China...

Note:

"FlightAware's primary service area includes airspace operated by the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam), Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, portions of Central America, the United Kingdom, and France. Flights in the primary service area support real time maps, departure and arrival information, delays, and more."

So it is missing most of Europe, all of Africa, South america and Asia.

Still, for such a boeing friendly part of the world, it is quite clear that the a320 has beaten the 737.

The reason for this is quite simple: a 320 has less cost per mile per seat than a 737. It is also more silent and has more space.. but that is not the reason it is winning. It is just cost.

Re: I hope the Bluetooth works better on this one

And then it has interference even from USB3...

Re: "More train/ferry/car/bus etc users"

Most of the cost could be saved by these.. as no turbines to be inspected or serviced.

And yes, I see this as an alternative to go from/to the jet.

The range is way too short.. how is this thing ever going to be approved? no fuel to go to alternate airport (or 30 mins for a heli)

"[14 CFR 91, §91.167]

(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft in IFR conditions unless it carries enough fuel (considering weather reports and forecasts and weather conditions) to—

(1) Complete the flight to the first airport of intended landing;

(2) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, fly from that airport to the alternate airport; and

(3) Fly after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed or, for helicopters, fly after that for 30 minutes at normal cruising speed."

So this can fly for an hour.. and will be restricted to 30 mins max.. I frankly dont see how this could work with existing rules.

Re: Lack of clue

I might contribute to the project as I have the electronics skills, and I am also fed up with UPSs, and I know I am not alone.

BUT the problem is that designing the right electronics for modern computers is difficult.. we basically need decent electronics.. and that is expensive.

Read these papers from ABB:

https://library.e.abb.com/public/525c273041687f0085257bf3005bbf28/ABB-429-WPO_CyberexDynamicInrushRestraint.pdf

I have seen data centers have fires for not taking these things into account...

Re: Going back in time to modify history

But there is no practival exception. If you delink something in the internet, it stops existing for al practical purposes.. so yes, it is basically burning the books to rewrite history, even if the declared intention is not that.

Re: shortage

So there is no shortage.

It is the same as saying "there is a shortage of milk", yet prices are about 24-30p a litre for the producer.

Shortage, real one, would see prices climbing a lot.

A shortage of nurses, would mean they would earn more than doctors. They don't, therefore there is a shortage "at a set price".

If I complain about a shortage of petrol, and I say I would gladly pay 80p per liter.. yeah... no shortage.. shortage at my set price.

Pay more and give better conditions, and more people will become nurses and/or more ppl will go to the uk.

Re: He's right, but no one here will accept it

I'm not an expert but..

No offense, "but" that is the problem. You either have decent (not even good) security or you dont. And if you are going to allow other people to bypass security, it is bad by design.

If we say "yes" we would have your scenario. If we say "no" we would also probably end up in the same scenario, but at least we tried.

Re: Perhap they kick Three

they do throttle depending on device.. I have tested it.

Re: drones

You would be unable to target them. Smae thing happens with a flock of birds, you are unable to see the individual birds.

Re: I don't care about running water, where are my internets?

I would add proper insulating, and testing for said "insulation", as most insulation only passes "on paper".

A work colleague of mine got his house insulated. I mean, properly insulated.. and this is a new build, but it had crap insulation.

He now only needs a little bit of heat added.. previously the house was colder and he had big gas bills..

Had this been made during construction, the additional cost would have benn what? 1000£? Unacceptable that we allow such building quality to be legal.

VM <> FIBRE

Of course, as you dont have fibre, but docsis over coaxial copper cable. Very different from fibre.

Re: Typed 'Reboot' where ... ?

A work colleague (admin) lost his job that way many moons ago.

Hethought he was putting my code (well, a version update of the project I lead) into the integration environment.. but put it into production, as he had both terminals open, and made the huge error of pulling from command line. I had told him before to put into the server, and execute from the server.. as a friendly suggestion.

He was lucky in the sense that there were no bugs in the code, so in a sense the systems kept working, unlucky in the sense that this was in the client/server era, so the decision was to push the updated client. 45 minutes down time for 50/100 ppl (dont remember well).

He lost his job for a single mistake in two years, I am still a bit angry about that.

Re: A turd by any other name

I disagree, but I would say that the bells are tolling for Java.

Re: Form factor

The thing is we all have hands very similar to each other.. so the sizes are going to be from 4.5 to 5.5 and a few bigger and smaller than that, depending on preferences (bigger screen but too big, or the contrary).

There are also a few manufacturers of chipsets, and they all pretty much are the same ARM cores, modified a bit, and a few different GPU cores. Plus the modem/radio, standard tech battery, and you just have some relatively straight forward ancilliaries such as motion sensors, screen driver, NAND, etc. YEs qualities do vary, but not so much (UFS is great, but we wont need anything faster than that).

So yeah, boring days.

Re: P.S. Irish & UK competition regulator

I think he means cannot "not breaking the law".

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/28/government_tweaks_uk_copyright_law/

There are many many ways of doing it otherwise.

Also, why do they limit netfllix to non HDR 1080p on PC unless you hve very specific hw? It is easier to me to download illegal content than to pay for it!! I do pay, but it is VERY stupid.

Re: End the H1-B program entirely.

He is not in my opinion.

Those that break existing rules should be punished.. and these rules seem to oppress the worker more than anybody else.. and as existing rules are not enforced, why do they need other rules?

Just enforcing current rules or making them possible to be enforced would be enough.

Scraping

There are even websites that use temolating to change the structure every week.. just to prevent scraping, or make it more costly.

Re: Dicks with money not isolated to US

But who could expect anything else from clarkson?

Re: Still waiting for my ThreadRipper

w7 is unsupported. You know it.. so dont insist...

Re: Rolling out to private sector is the right thing to do.

So the rich dont pay, and thats it... the rest must pay.

Re: Advertisers only have themselves to blame

It works.

The main problem I see is that they have only partially updated themselves. They mostly dont want to pay a dime for brand recognition, so they dont pay for "impressions", they just play for clicks.. and that is wrong

As for engaging ads.. well, that is also bad, as they want to engage, yes, but in a bad way, and they are just more subtle spam.

Agree

The very least you can do is switch the names and surnames randomly, and also randomly change id and bank account numbers (in this case, change numbers, not switch). You should never user the real address of anyone.

That would be as good for testing, and no risk.

Re: Apples and Pears?

the thing is, if I dont go for the bling of an S9, what keeps me from buying an Honor or a Xiaomi?

Re: For procurement...

Absolutely.

It seems that a deep knowledge of the issue,recompiling Postgres and a few tricks can reduce this a lot.

Then I would have to keep doing that everytime, and at that point I am better using AMD, or assuming the costs of "meh" tuning.

Re: Fault analysis undertaken and fix identified

If you disassemble your pc, be sure to have loctite blue at hand:

As far as I know that is what they use.

Re: Google AdWords...

Backblaze explain quite right how it works:

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/save-marketing-money-nice/

So it is not only "Edible Arrangements", it is also "backblaze", a word that whould NOT trigger google to put ads.. in my computer it triggers adds for backblaze (that is stealing sirs), idrive and softwarereviews.

It is using a protected trademark for diluting the term, and it is wrong.

Disclosure

You should have disclosed that, including a note saying "WD refused to engage or fix"

Re: "very expensive VCS for office documents"

That might be because they had nothing to gain by curating something under your control...
