Yes, and that machine was exceptionally good; by far the best laptop i ever owned: mate screen, good keyboard, small and lightweight for the time, and exceptionally open and well supported for Linux despite being a mips arch. I would gladly get myself another one if I could.
But wasnt JPow's slow reaction to initial inflation one of the main problems to begin with? Although the data was signaling rising inflation he kept saying it's "transitory". Now he says we need to look closely at the data which is what he should have done in the first place.
The data then wasn't quite so clear or simple. Supply chains were hosed so transitory seemed reasonable at the time along with dealing with pandemic after effects. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but when it became clear the inflation was beyond supply chain issues they pivoted hard and got things back under control.
What _does_ matter is the huge reduction in the much more dangerous brake dust, as electric vehicles convert the kinetic energy back to the battery charge via generation instead of wasting it via friction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44666157
Would hybrids also have the same advantage? I have 2 hybrids as I have use cases that need gas (rural driving). One of them is a traditional style and the other is a 50 mile electric option which can use gas when needed.
The comment is that they’re 10-15% heavier, not that they generate 10-15% more tire dust.
In general tire dust generated seems related to tire compound (softer tires = more dust) and weight of vehicle. Although EVs are heavier, they also tend to use harder tires for more efficiency, so it would not surprise me if it’s a wash by equivalent tires to whatever is used in normal combustion cars.
Seems to me the focus for tire dust should be focused on the truly heavy vehicles: how much do 18 wheelers generate, given they’re typically weighing 10-40x what a regular car weighs.
It's so sad how back when Sony was an electronics company, it fought the content makers in court for the right for people to make recordings.
Then Sony became a content company, and stopped making things to allow people to make recordings.
With advances in technology, I should be able to pop an SD card in my TV and record what I see, then bring it over to a friend's house and pop it into his TV so we can watch together.
It happened 20 years ago, so some folks around here might be too young to remember the Sony rootkit fiasco [1]. Sony decided it would be a good idea to put on their music CDs an auto-run program that would install a rootkit on your Windows computer, whose job it was to be a watchdog for Sony's copyrights.
I have a non-smart budget TV. It doesn't have many features but it does let you record over the air digital TV to a USB stick. Unfortunately, the playback is incredibly janky.
I tried playing the recorded content on my laptop but I was really surprised to find that it had been encrypted. I don't get the business case for them implementing this. It's broadcast unencrypted and I can easily record it on my laptop using a dvb-t dongle.
Maybe it's a condition of using the FreeView brand in the UK? I don't know.
I will admit I haven't tried this, so I don't know if there's some encryption that would be problematic but there are definitely HDMI video capture devices that are very reasonably priced and would let you record content. BUt most all content is online so it seems there would be very little demand for the feature you are talking about. I can just go to my friends house and log in to whatever app and watch the same stuff I can at my house, or use something like a Chromecast.
TVs in Japan let you do exactly this. You just plug in any sufficiently fast USB mass storage and can record tv to it. There’s some sort of encryption scheme bound to the tv though so it’s not portable. There may be someway to transfer the recordings to other tvs but it’s limited.
There’s even a companion app that will stream recordings on your tv to your phone.
I'm fond of the HDHomerun devices. They just expose a set of URLs over the local network corresponding to channels. You can point VLC to them or just download a chunk of the bitstream to process later.
I'm sure you could appliance that up to trigger an automatic recording on conditions like "card inserted".
TLDR: Hawking radiation can cause things besides black holes to evaporate.
Man and moon: 10^90 years
Because the researchers were at it anyway, they also calculated how long it takes for the moon and a human to evaporate via Hawking-like radiation. That's 10^90 years. Of course, the researchers subtly note, there are other processes that may cause humans and the moon to disappear faster than calculated.
you'll spend a few more months sitting in online seminars while some talking head explains why it takes 6 hours to configure a million goddamn things so their garbage tool can shit out an entire Italian resaurant's worth of spaghetti code just to blink an LED at 1Hz. Except it's not 1Hz, it's 10Hz, or 0.1Hz, or some other bullshit that you didn't want, because you muttered the wrong incantation to the configuration utility somewhere around step 2 out of 800, so guess what, you get to back and do the entire fucking thing again.
Check out CSS or FAFSA calculators to figure out your expected family contribution. Financial Aid offices at places like MIT that are need blind fill in the gap between your expected contribution and cost of attending with aid.
The answer to your question is it depends. Some assets like your primary home and retirements can be shielded from expected family contribution. If you've got assets sitting in a taxable account....
Can recommend the book as well - its still not that dated and provides a very good overview of how not just a real missing to Mars, but also a sustainable settlement might look like. :)
