I won a silent computer 5+ years ago as a prize at a lan party. SSD drives, two of the best passively coolable gpu at the time (ATI I Believe?), passive CPU cooler, and the whole case was lined with musicians sound absorbing foam. I thin

At least some of their other stuff is a nightmare. I still haven't figured out how to use their oauth correctly, or use their iot stuff at all.

Sounds like ether or one of the many projects built on it (golem?).

There's a non insignificant number of people who plead guilty to murder for that same reason (to avoid death penalty) but are later exonerated via DNA evidence.

Doesn't the house of Lords have some members appointed by the church, others by birth, women weren't allowed to be Lords spiritual until 2015, and women still aren't allowed to inherit some seats today? Hard to take that seri

Companies will always be shamed for not being diverse enough. Tis the call of outrage culture.

Thanks for this A thread full of people talking about how bad working for yourself is had me questioning my upcoming decision to quit and try to do something for myself, and what you said is the biggest reason why I want to. I love hard wor

You probably have multiple plug types in your house. Single phase, two phase, maybe three phase, groundless, etc. They might have similar requirements.

As someone that lives outside of the state, it's almost a hobby of mine to collect prop 65 warnings. I've seen it on everything from food to juices and hammers to cars. The running joke about my friends is "I'm sure glad

> That's to prevent leaks from driving the stock price up, and causing the buyout cost to increase. That's a little different than using it to hide the fact that they were knowingly breaking the law. Do you understand the diffe

As we say when teaching new riders to ride a motorcycle, a crash is often an intersection of factors. If you remove even one of those issues it likely would have prevented it.

I can even see merit to the argument that cutting off new supply will force people to recycle old supply to repair and keep their sensors running as well. I know I've got a few that I'll have to keep working.

Many of them use point to point microwave (if the provider has a good microwave network in the city). Those are good for a couple of gbps each and can go anywhere in a city that's got line of sight.

A step beyond that: some can get fairly accurate with a single "tower". We had at minimum 3 BTS on every site, generally at 120 degree spacing but this could vary, but each BTS had multiple antennas and would do some rudimentary

Exact. If California had a consistent excess of solar they wouldn't need so much from the Hoover dam.

Real cell towers may use more power than unlicensed is allowed to in some cases, but not significantly much and definitely not hundreds of times. I worked at Clearwire (Clear wimax) and even on the spectrum we owned we generally used less

In most places in the US you can live extremely comfortably, even with a couple of moderately expensive hobbies, on 50k. Get out of the big cities.

Apples and oranges. You can't sieze the server or domain name and turn off cryptocurrency. That guarantees that the back end keeps running. Then your only way is to regulate the usage of it, but when that can be obfuscated with thin

Absolutely. How else can an activity like Riding dirt bikes, with a near 100% injury rate for even casual riders wearing full safety gear, be popular? So many things in our society are overly sanitized to the point that we have an almost
