Our kids elementary school (Germany) recently voiced concerns that pupils - especially boys - do not fulfill the self defined learning tasks in the expected time.. There may be no upper boundary to how much out of touch…
Wasn't that the OPs argument? Companies have been building tunnel after tunnel [..] and optimized the process. No one had tried to large scale industrialize satellite + space launcher production before.
E-Ship 1 exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Ship_1 They report fuel savings up to 25%, so it may be viable for some ships types and voyages. But a long way from propelling the whole ship.
It's a Ro Ro ship for rolling cargo. Not a big one and without the additional car decks an ocean going Ro Ro ship typically has, but for what it is the cargo capacity is reasonable.
A "normal" ocean-going Ro Ro ship would be over 200m long and quite a bit higher. Typically only the lowest deck can carry trucks and heavy loads and the upper decks carry cars. Their solution of only having the heavy…
This, I would go so far as keeping kids from social media is in conflict with (arguably) one of the most important jobs parents have which is getting kids into social interactions. (E.g. by teaching them good manners so…
If the immigration is double the normal expected growth (~tripling the growth) it is not really tiny. It may very well be solvable, maybe even easily. But the problem in many European countries is that "the left" does…
Even the US is fairly far away from theoretical capitalism.. "No barriers to market entry" - ever seen that one in practice?
Secure Boot makes persisting malware in the kernel fairly difficult. Which IMHO made sense coming from Windows 7 where driver rootkits and boot kits where trivial. With today's main threat model being encryption malware…
In addition to the technical details mentioned there is also the "social" part: Having Anticheat lets the company show they are doing "something" against cheating and keeps law abiding players from installing cheats.
Having rudder and propeller on different stations can be useful to organize work on the bridge, especially on a warship. The possibility of having the two propellers on different stations is imho insane. The only reason…
Maybe you didn't play Rome I? I also don't understand the death threats but I still remember playing Rome II on launch - after playing Rome I for years - and being absolutely baffled at how bad it was. Apart from the…
From what I have read the magnetic mapping it not enough for a position. It needs additional information to limit the possible positions. So the technology could be fairly accurate on a train or car. On a ship or…
I don't see the benefit for the attacker besides novelty. Am I missing something?
I barely find anything when using thunderbird search. Is that just me?
I can't relate to the bottom line "get a doctor" - even though it turns up a lot in these kinds of discussions. I live in a reasonably civilized county (Germany), but still know people who have or had trouble finding…
But that's a large part of the appeal. "Binary compatible with RHEL" sells Rocky, not "another Linux".
Reading that I am confused: isn't hardware abstraction what the Linux kernel does? It only becomes a general purpose OS with all the distribution specific stuff.
I agree and also think the author did a wrong turn somewhere after the original quote. One point of the quote roughly translated into the modern office is that dumb managers that create pointless busywork for others are…
Advanced persistent threat.
Most sail concepts don't work with today's open deck cargo ships, that problem is solved by the OutSail concept.. but it still faces many more problems: - Is the connection enough to transmit the sail forces? - How will…
I think you are mixing two things: dressing "correctly" is a status symbol and always will be even if it tends to be silly (number of pockets for woman, number of buttons for mens suits). The extreme we should keep…
At my German university I could have graduated with next to no knowledge of programming and SQL and afaik the curriculum hasn't really changed.
If that where there would be no discussion about the switch to heat pumps. But it isn't. In old houses (bad insulation, old radiators) and edge cases ("winter") heat pump are not just inefficient they may not be able to…
Any statement would likely just contain polite lies. The concept of open access to things created with public money is not really a thing in Germany (I believe it is in the US?) and many agencies will fight it on pure…
