> Watthours is more important than amp hours

I'd go a step further and say that amp hours is meaning less since voltage is not specified. The only valid battery capacity unit of measure is watt hours. While most battery packs use a single 3.7 lithium ion battery, Apple's first gen MagSafe battery pack used two internal batteries in series, throwing off everyone's amp hours only comparison.

Last I checked you have sign-in to Google before it lets you config via Matter

> But, you're throwing away data

Often it’s intentional for privacy. Record no more data than what’s needed.

Uncool to alter the title

I wonder if smart meters are included. There’s a conspiracy theory around the RF emitted by smart meters.

My thoughts too. Using SI prefix for a thousand years is uncommon.

The reviews on the cables in question (Blue Jeans Cable) are wild. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RYLMXICLLSJWC?ASI...

"Music was much more open with plenty of air around the instruments. Imaging was superb - greatly improved over previous cables that I used. The depth was substantially improved with great instrumental recognition from front to rear. In other words, the speakers managed to disappear and only the performances were remaining."

"I had for the first time, heard tones and instruments that were previously hidden with other cables. Music sounded more alive - had more presence. Brass instruments now had a bite (yet with a rich, non-strident tone) that sounded as if you were there."

"The bass tones improved dramatically, taking on a fuller (tighter with less bloat) than I had remembered with previous cables"

I'd love to see how these people do with a double blind setup.

Just call it "unknown" or "unspecified" or better yet use an optional to hold the enum.

More specifically the activist Vandana Shiva talked Sri Lanka into outlawing conventional agriculture and only use organic methods.

“then” is definitely less intuitive

I would love an iOS setting that blocks all network access for certain apps

Who is Level 3 data shared with, ie who is the aggregator? Is it the credit card bank then aggregates and sells it?

TCAS RAs are disabled below 1000 feet, TAs are still enabled

> They avoided collision because they were over 1000' and the TCAS was still active

No. The RPA4514 had the helicopter insight. Pilots are required to follow TCAS RA regardless of ATC instructions or if insight.

What makes you think they would have collided if TCAS hadn't alerted?

TCAS shows nearby aircraft on a map. It generates a Traffic Alert (TA) to warn of nearby aircraft when certain parameters are met. If they get closer then it generates a Resolution Advisory (RA) which gives climb/descend instructions to avoid a collision. RAs are disabled below 1000 feet.

So there's already tracking on a map that's available to the pilots. During landing, pilots are looking outside and not glued to their instruments.

The real issue is trying to cram too much aircraft in such a small space and time.

TCAS works with Mode-C (same as military Mode 3).

> Large craft could have ADS-B tracking of a 1-3 mile bubble displayed to them. This would add a check to being blindly told what to do and blindly trusting that others are doing what they're told.

Already exists, it's called TCAS

> the same arguments also apply to Instagram/Twitter/Whatever

Those apps aren't controlled by a foreign adversary with a history of ignoring data privacy laws (example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Personnel_Management...)

> against arbitrary censorship

Such hypocrisy given that the non-China version of TikTok is banned in China.

> The A380 is rated for ETOPS-330

I thought ETOPS is for 2 engine aircraft. Are there minimum diversionary requirements for 4 engine aircraft?

> He called Intel tech support but was brushed off

I laughed when I read this. It’s hard enough to get support for basic issues, good luck explaining a hardware bug.

Same when people use “mhz” for megahertz

Just don’t use any of the smart TV’s “smart” functionality. Don’t even connect it to the Internet or give it your Wi-Fi password.

> they would pass privacy laws that affect all social media companies.

And China would just ignore it. It's already illegal to steal IP and yet China does it all the time.

There’s only a few states (CA and few others) where the employer can’t claim IP developed on your own time and equipment. The other states absolutely can.

That’s not due to lack of JavaScript but rather missing the HTML heade’s meta name=viewport’s device width and scale.

Side note: this classic webpage loads crazy fast without all the bloated JavaScript present in modern webpages.

Agree. Removing useful features in the name of diversity seems silly.

> requires me to create my own

Yes, how many string contains methods are there out there, as the result of everyone having to write their own.

Loops are just clutter. I’d rather concentrate on the filter and transform and not be bothered with the raw mechanics of looping, creating an intermediate array and appending to it. Not to mention that some languages returns a lazy evaluated view of the original storage.

Go is too minimalist in my opinion. It’s like time warping back to 2005. You want enums, nope. You want functional constructs (map, filter), nope. You want string array contains, nope. It can feel very limiting coming from newer languages designed in the last 10 years.
