What are your thoughts on the fact that 90% of the comments here are something to the effect of “there is no sense in personally investing in using Tables since google will shut it down in x years”?

Those are other factors that cause sparks from power lines that are independent of maintenance. sparks are going to occur whether the towers are replaced with brand new ones every 10 years or if they leave them until there starts to be prob

Wind, ice, squirrels, birds, snakes and trees are going to cause power lines to fail and create sparks so while perfectly maintained power lines will fail less often failures will still occur. If the world is a tinderbox from now on there i

Yes. The aviation system produced the human pilot who was able to transfer their skills and experience from all previous landings to this new unusual one. I do believe another equally as well trained pilot would have been able to pull it of

You would think we wouldn’t have an endless string of 0-day exploits for operating systems as well but here we are, for the last 25 years. It should be a simple and logical problem as well.

When it is hot out Air is less dense so the wings don’t generate as much lift. I believe engines make less power when the air in is hotter too as there is less delta T. Something something Carnot cycle

I flew for the first time today in a Cessna 172. I had a hard time determining if I was climbing or descending by looking over the cowling and found myself frequently checking the altimeter and rate of climb steam gauges. To be fair it was

After seeing the foils finally catch on in water sports I have been wondering why there are no foil boats. Great to see someone has made it happen! I don’t do enough miles a year boating to care about the minor amount of fossil fuels I burn

Never heard it was a software bug? Lack of maintenance allowed tree branches to grow under transmission lines which sag the hotter they get and so on a hot summer day with record system loads one transmission line tripping caused a cascadin

I remember some complication with the elevators not working or homing properly at one place so we must have had an outage. it was probably at 3am, scheduled, and with incoming patients diverted. All our tests are and I’m in the electrical r

I love that the P53 has all the ports on the back so I don’t have cables cluttering up the sides of my on the road desk spaces where I like to keep a proper mouse and mouse pad and a notebook. In the office it’s still nicer too even though

Honestly I am struggling to remember an instance where we purposefully plunged an operating hospital in to darkness. You can test the system’s ability to detect loss of power or poor quality power by lifting sensing wires or injecting out o

ideally the hospital’s generator control system or transfer switch is able to start and synchronize the generators and turn up the throttle until no power is being imported from the utility prior to opening the utility feed, thereby transfe

The testing would consist of running the diesel generators under load but not operating in abnormal conditions.

Rotational energy goes up worth both the square or the radius and the speed, so it is much better bang for your buck to have a the mass centered on an outer rim connected to a hub by spokes and spinning really fast rather than just somethin

What type of energy can they develop? Iceland is well known for their geothermal energy I wouldn’t have thought that would have a huge impact on the landscape more than any other low rise industrial buildings.

yes but undeniably the dejanews or google groups usenet experience was worse than with a proper news client like Forté Agent, except for search. These days a web based NNTP client could offer an equivalent if not superior experience. [1] h

presumably you can have more than one laser link using the same frequency and bandwidth of light since it is a laser beam just put the next link a couple meters over and they should not interfere with each other at all.
