I stared at Google Earth for a while, using the 41:30 and 73 as a guide, but wasn't able to pinpoint the location of the site. With these huge vents, it shouldn't be too hard to find where this site was located. Anyone…
Can you check if things improve if you turn off 5G and move to 4G/LTE instead?
Why would a power meter allow an unauthenticated client to turn the thing on and off wireless?!? Sure, if you flip a switch handling a large current often enough, something will break (and I am impressed it's not the AC…
I think fusion-plants have always been "15 years away", and most likely will be so for quite a few years... Edit: I was wrong, fusion is always 30 years away:…
While we're on the "wartime economy" topic - is your country currently at war? Is any EU country currently formally at war? Is the US? How would that justify a "war time economy decision"?!? You can't just throw all…
Not sure how this would work outside the Netherlands where I live, but there seems to be a relation between the housing market and the interest rates... We currently see the interest rates go up rather quickly. This has…
This is just technological progress, right..? With the centrally heated house rising, so we forgot the skill (and pleasure) to heat your house with a fire (coal, wood). We buy fully-prepared meals in the supermarket -…
If more taxes is the reason for this rule, then why try to justify it with references to terrorism?
Well... The US Defense budget for 2021 alone is 7 times the money needed to build a new LHC (705 billion [1] for the US defense in 2021). Germany will spend a similar 100 billion dollars on weapons in the coming years.…
I would assume they would just raise their prices. Like with shipping containers from China to the rest of the world - prices increased tenfold...
I don't think the IoT devices will care that their download speed is somewhat reduced and that they'd have to wait a few ms to get access. These devices will hardly transmit or received any data. Likely a lot of…
I can't imagine it's the high number of (IoT) clients that is the problem - it is the high power that the AP's use that causes the issue. WiFi goes two ways - the AP talks to the client, and the client has to talk back.…
I think you over-estimate the CO2 emissions for solar panels and under-estimate the complexity of nuclear installations. A quick google search [1] learns that the CO2 emissions of the solar panel are marginally higher…
In the Netherlands there are two levels of sales tax (BTW); the high one for "luxury" goods - 21%, and a low (9%) one for necessary stuff. A lot of goods are necessary, and there is no need for the country to profit…
How are ads "not the same thing"?!? The idea is that Apple takes 30% of whatever you sell via an app available in the App Store. Some sell games, Facebook sells ads. It is actually their core business. Likely, the real…
You'd need more than a regular 787, given that the circumference of the earth is 40.000 km so you'd have to fly roughly 1600 km/h or more than mach-1... Then again, that is when flying at the equator. Taking off further…
How cycnical - an article further down (Two young scientists built a $250M business using yeast to clean up wastewater) links to Forbes.com that indeed allows me to set my tracking preferences.However, anything other…
True! If it would, then male baldness would have been "natural de-selected" a long time ago. But since men are getting bald mostly after they had their offspring, partners (nature) cannot select on this...
Also in today's world it is cheaper for one machine to produce 1.000 identical parts than for the same machine produce 10 times 100 different parts. You need stock of each, tests of each. Imagine how efficient car…
For me it redirects to a page from https://guce.advertising.com, telling me my browser is out of date and that I have to go to browsehappy.com to get a new one...
But still - there are Tesla's driving everywhere, including ones with autopilot enabled, and I have yet to see the first Waymo car on the road... The technology might be/seem superior, commercially Tesla has cleary won…
And just in the news: T-Mobile says it owns exclusive rights to the color magenta https://adage.com/article/digital/t-mobile-says-it-owns-excl...
And the downside: you will only have a few technicians that really understand how things work, hiring new ones is next to impossible as teenagers have never seen neither the hardware nor the software that is running on…
What would the force of the wind be on a structure 2 km long and 200 meter wide? Just a little breeze will require an amazing force just to keep the thing docked. Think that you have to maneuvre the thing into…
You can shift the solar peak at least by one hour when importing electricity from California is possible... In Europe there are a lot of international power cables that help redistribute power across the region and that…
