What are your thoughts on the fact that 90% of the comments here are something to the effect of “there is no sense in personally investing in using Tables since google will shut it…

Those are other factors that cause sparks from power lines that are independent of maintenance. sparks are going to occur whether the towers are replaced with brand new ones every …

Wind, ice, squirrels, birds, snakes and trees are going to cause power lines to fail and create sparks so while perfectly maintained power lines will fail less often failures will …

Yes. The aviation system produced the human pilot who was able to transfer their skills and experience from all previous landings to this new unusual one. I do believe another equa…

You would think we wouldn’t have an endless string of 0-day exploits for operating systems as well but here we are, for the last 25 years. It should be a simple and logical problem…

When it is hot out Air is less dense so the wings don’t generate as much lift. I believe engines make less power when the air in is hotter too as there is less delta T. Something s…

I flew for the first time today in a Cessna 172. I had a hard time determining if I was climbing or descending by looking over the cowling and found myself frequently checking the …

After seeing the foils finally catch on in water sports I have been wondering why there are no foil boats. Great to see someone has made it happen! I don’t do enough miles a year b…

Never heard it was a software bug? Lack of maintenance allowed tree branches to grow under transmission lines which sag the hotter they get and so on a hot summer day with record s…

That has to be one of the most competitive places to surf in the world. Hope you are good!

I remember some complication with the elevators not working or homing properly at one place so we must have had an outage. it was probably at 3am, scheduled, and with incoming pati…

I love that the P53 has all the ports on the back so I don’t have cables cluttering up the sides of my on the road desk spaces where I like to keep a proper mouse and mouse pad and…

Honestly I am struggling to remember an instance where we purposefully plunged an operating hospital in to darkness. You can test the system’s ability to detect loss of power or po…

ideally the hospital’s generator control system or transfer switch is able to start and synchronize the generators and turn up the throttle until no power is being imported from th…

The testing would consist of running the diesel generators under load but not operating in abnormal conditions.

Electrical Engineers would determine the settings for the electrical protection of a generator. Mechanical Engineers would determine the settings for mechanical protection of a mot…

Tesla is probably ok since the car is a platform auto updated over the air if China steals the design and can build the exact physical machine and even a version of the firmware it…

What if the US and allies are Less open to China, and offer to me more open again if China also is more open?

people would rather be unemployed than have an unpleasant minimum wage job.

A fisherman I was speaking to in NZ noted on their ships radar lines of trawlers just outside NZ waters presumably doing the same thing - dragging nets between the trawlers and ind…

Rotational energy goes up worth both the square or the radius and the speed, so it is much better bang for your buck to have a the mass centered on an outer rim connected to a hub …

What type of energy can they develop? Iceland is well known for their geothermal energy I wouldn’t have thought that would have a huge impact on the landscape more than any other l…

yes but undeniably the dejanews or google groups usenet experience was worse than with a proper news client like Forté Agent, except for search. These days a web based NNTP client …

Except for the extreme ease of transmission between humans function this virus somehow is well adapted to.
