The problem is that the current fad among manufacturers of cleverly externalizing their social costs (e.g. cost of labor, cost of environmental stewardship, cost of meeting regulatory requirements) also removes their incentive to pay much heed to sharing said riches.
Analog electronic computers actually offered significant advantages in precision over their digital equivalents for much of the mid-20th century, due to limitations imposed by slow clock speeds and small word sizes. Calibrating them was non-trivial, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer#Modern_era
Given that border agents may go as far as cloning hard drive contents, what advantage does an additional partition have? A thorough search may uncover the hidden/encrypted partition, which then becomes another item for which you'd be requested to provide "technical assistance."
Excluding the Russian state media outlet RT from the "enemies of the United States" group, while including local media outlets you presumably disagree with, seems pretty fallacious. To put it mildly.
Actually, the camera was embedded deep inside the probe's pressure vessel. The aperture on the probe's surface was glazed with a quartz window, and the image projected through a long periscope arrangement to the sensor inside.
Admitted that the erratic nature of the new administration makes it tricky to anticipate what tack (if any) Pai's FCC will take. However, the progress thus far in enormous telco mergers, Charter/TimeWarner/Verizon in particular, doesn't suggest an incoming regulatory environment that will benefit end users much.
Many other cultures (and even many of my relatives) frame the task of rearing children as means to better ensure for your own care towards the end of your life, rather than as a high-risk endeavor comparable to purchasing real estate.
The ability for one spouse to forego work in lieu of dedicating themselves to childcare is a privilege not enjoyed by a substantial percentage of parents. Besides that, the choice to have kids (or not) remains in this country one everyone is entitled to make.
Having young children can place constraints on your ability to shift work hours away from conventional 9-5. Childcare/schooling/etc are not as flexible in the schedules they follow, and not everyone has a spouse/partner with sufficient free time to compensate for your unavailability.
A glance at the board's membership suggests the clock is a side project. Their daytime pursuits include nuclear research, environmental policy, public health preparedness against bio-attacks, climatology, and quantum physics. http://thebulletin.org/science-and-security-board
ZFS storage layers built on OmniOS/OpenSolaris/Illumos enjoy more years of maturity (and thus demonstrated stability) than upcoming versions for Linux/Ubuntu. If you have to build large storage in-house, stability is a high priority.
Considering that tracking also occurs based on browser cookies or even more indirect methods, seems this tool's primary effectiveness would just be deterring profiling by public wifi AP operators.
As learned from relatives living there, Altanta's long-term water situation kinda frightens me. Their aquifer (aka Lake Lanier) can't sustain the anticipated population, and it looks like fights are brewing with downstream parties like Florida, who also have legal share of that water.
Hot, dry, humid, in varying quantities during the warm season. Occasional bouts of days-long rain when the remnants of tropical storm systems come ashore.
I'm surprised the NYT article didn't mention anything about Barcelona's existing legacy in novel and pedestrian-friendly urban layout. The "superilles" likely reference part of the city's existing street grid composed of "illes," where blocks are chamfered to create large intersections and provide space for walkways, green strips, even expand sunlight penetration somewhat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eixample
While I can have no idea what you would deem to be strong evidence, swift Googling can point you to published research from sociologists, et al, about bias and other behaviors that make the justice system dramatically less impartial than it's intended to be. Recent WaPo story, for example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/24/resea...
I would expect any 3rd party manufacturer seeking to replicate the safety margins of Apple's own power adapters may ultimately find it difficult to produce a competitive alternative, once you factor in costs of NDAs with Apple and such. (Apple likely works to ensure it stays this way.) Cables are passive, USB chargers are generally low wattage, while the Macbook adapters have active regulation, plus higher power ratings.
The catch-22 is that Apple shoehorned substantial complexity into the charger, to make it and associated cables/connectors very lightweight, while still supporting batteries with very high power density. Compare the article's photos of the PCB, etc, of the Apple product and the cheap knock-off, both of which have to squeeze into the same plastic housing. That complexity costs money. Trimming out complexity generally means trimming out safety features (which already are possibly insufficient, considering some of the other responses on this thread).
The power density of modern Li-Ion batteries is surprising. These chargers have to move substantial current over cables and connectors that just become ever lighter.
Used Nextdoor after home purchase, since I only was only comfortable using their snail mail postcard verification. Nextdoor does indeed treat their location verification more seriously that other services, although that likely is warranted give the possibility (and consequences) of abuse.
Nextdoor isn't especially unique compared to other social media platforms. What does appear unique is its traction among highly localized user groups (i.e. neighborhoods). Both myself and friends found Nextdoor actually extremely useful in the course of recent home purchases, to get to know the target neighborhood and seek inexpensive repair/contractor services.
Given Nextdoor's very localized character, there can be unwritten context to users' posts not always present in other platforms like FB. Eg. very easy to imply "I know where you live" in a way the intended recipient may grasp, but group moderators do not. As another commenter said, having users click through some questions before committing a hot-headed posts seems wise. It would mirror a face-to-face interaction, i.e. "Did you really mean what you said?"
No idea, tho, on the justification for Nextdoor's metrics for reducing abuse.
Some people/organizations associated with this thread on ninux.org have a Gofundme page to collect funds supporting their efforts in persuading more coherent action from the FCC.

Dual-band (2.4GHz, 5.8GHz) AP with a Qualcomm 802.11ac SoC. Maybe it uses 802.11s to assist with mesh layer 2 routing? I'm curious to what extent the device may depend on Cloud-based mgmt services provided only by Eero, similar to Cloudtrax and Meraki's offerings?
I would have to imagine there is still some challenge to 'bringing' Google Fiber to the remaining 48 US states. Sprint's presence in Kansas City was a large determining factor in its selection for the initial fiber deployment. Besides, there are still plenty of service providers (and attendant lobbyists) in this county who would prefer that fiber remain priced well above $70/month.
"Any 'gigabit wireless' scheme will likely look the same it does today: a handful of key players with reciprocal data roaming agreements, and a few MVNOs which piggyback off the big guys. Wireless infrastructure is so expensive that carriers don't even have full coverage: ... "
Ubiquiti, among other vendors, now sells various flavors of cheap ($50-$100US) 802.11n and now 802.11ac radios that purport 100Mbit/s of actual throughput. I use slightly older versions of these radios outdoors, and can verify 40Mbit/s throughput on point-to-point links spanning a mile or so.
Furthermore, Ubiquiti has also just rolled out 20GHz unlicensed radios with expected 700Mbit/s throughput on p2p links, costing $3k per link, a price which will likely go down as time passes.
The wireless hardware does not have to use a licensed band.
The article all but suggests that Shell actually do this. While part of me thinks Shell doing its own satire / misinformation campaign would be the most effective response (legal action would just attract more attention), I have a hard time imagining such misinformation campaign having anything but further negative effect on Shell's public branding.
