Can that vapor be captured and condensed again? The energy transfer of evaporation happens before it reaches the cooling tower exit. It's a conservation of energy thing for sure but condensation is doable.

What does it mean to be consumed in this context? After used for cooling isn’t it clean enough for drink and other uses? Can’t it go back into other systems? Can’t it be used for agriculture?

Sometimes something like a hulking Austrian body builder seems like a weird design for a human killing machine. Then real life suggests people may wear hairy gorilla suits to avoid pain compliance gloves during protests.

Do these really need to be sold as pairs? I suspect one GLOVE would be adequate?

Do electric “pain compliance” (their words) gloves count as “hands-on applications”?

Ah yes. This was the future they envisioned. Nothing cruel and unusual about this. Because it’s not “punishment” - just incidental assault during the booking process.

> method to gain control of a subject through pain compliance

Private 0-day exploits?

Have a phone with crappy battery and have it trigger a high processor load to take the battery voltage drop and turn off the phone? (Eg what Apple tried to prevent with the batterygate thing).

Let’s try for a less hyperbolic analogy

And part of the year is full day of darkness

NASAs Deep Space Network? Making calls from space mean you don’t have the bandwidth (tho latency also killer)

When I read your comment before the article I thought it was some sort of complicated contraption in multiple parts. Instead it seems pretty compact and easy to disengage. I’m not sure what you’re missing in terms of a niche either. Anyone who just wants to ride with less effort but use their existing bike?

It’s a legit possibility that “FaceTime” in the future will be super low bandwidth because the phones on each end do local animations of a deepfaked/skinned model to match live capture rather than transmit high resolution video.

2000iu….or 60000iu. Yep.

At that point you’re not playing the downloaded file. You’re either playing a transcoded version of it which will buffer as a computer tries to convert on the fly. Or you’re dealing with a network throughput issue related to the bitrate of the file you’re trying to remotely play.

Who made his guitar? It seems like he made all his art on the back of someone else’s work… they should be getting royalties for every track made with their product

(I’m pointing out the absurdity of trying to assign ownership within a system of shared creation)

Remember when people were allowed to share phone numbers? Like it was actually the norm

It’s organic solids. Just get it to the ocean. It’s not like it’s crude oil or volatile chemicals.

What even was this

It sucks that decathlon basically left Canada after a short trial run. I think it really came down to crappy marketing overall.

Lol that’s so hostile. It’s insane how much the language of these models create real unaddressed human reactions.

Why is this flagged

“These crazy hairless primates are able to walk across a tightrope by using their ears!”

Technically true. And also points to interesting physiological systems that continuously “automate” seemingly complex actions.

I think this is tied to your own mental mapping of the term “blowing bubbles” and that it’s typically an active rather than passive action. But the headline isn’t wrong and it’s in fact doing a really good job of communicating the underlying idea in a thought provoking way while being technically correct. This is kind of a feat of science journalism.

Looking at the conversations tied to movie fandoms has been fascinating. People treat movie franchises like a religion.

It’s just crazy to think that Reddit and the massive volume of text it allowed to be created helped lead us here….

Adventure cams lose a market when people can’t afford to go on adventures?

The flag of India gives me that vibe.

Because we set it up so that our shared infrastructure goes under load at the same time instead of being better distributed. With a universal clock, there may be less pressure to start at shared time. Staggered starts.

Or have a universal clock. But have regional start times. 9-5 makes no sense.

Describes religion. Code is a type of religion I guess
