Do the tariff refunds count as a debt that could be sold to a third party? They can then combine cases together to get economies of scale. Another thing that would happen in England is law firms would start campaigns dedicated to winning these legal cases on a no-win-no-fee basis, and would...

Thanks for the detail, and appreciate this could start a discussion. Sounds like cooling system isn't going to be an insurmountable cost to a system but could significantly affect the cost/benefit analysis. 👍

This is a bit O/T for Rockets, but lots of knowlegable people here. If you built a computer cluster as a satellite, wouldn't heat rejection be a major problem? I thought this was a tricky thing on normal satellites, and the amount of cooling water consumed by data centers is a reported problem...

I know this article was focussed on the EV application of solid state batteries, but I would be interested to understand the other uses that may provide the pathway for these companies to EV levels of capacity and price. What are the lowest handing fruit for them, should we expect them in phones...

I know its all taken over by Crypto, but is this PKI a system that would apply well to a distributed ledger system? At least at the higher levels of root / intermediate certificates. This would allow implementation of rules as to who can issue certificates, a public notification system as part...

I'd be interested to know how this would work with Test Driven Development. If you write a test, then ask an AI to write the software to pass that test, with it feeding it's own error messages into itself in a loop, until it passes. This would basically be structured vibe coding, but at the end...

Were people locked out of their accounts? I believe on google you need to re-enter your password to change it, or follow the password recovery process. Or did they automate doing lots of damage that took time to have restored?

The classic sky set top box is for me the best way to watch television. It has the good old internal HDD that records from the broadcast signal, it's stored forever and you can fast forward / skip around and through the ads. One day that will go and I'll be forced into a sky glass system IP...

The article text is quite misleading IMO. It talks about 2 connectors, a pair of cables, and a selection process that releases the correct one. It never explicitly mentions there being an adaptor on the end. Maybe the 'like magic dock ... Pair of cables' sentence is a typo? Because magic dock...

The vulnerability is that someone wrote a password reset API that allowed you to supply the confirmation email address as part of the request?! I get the secondary account email addresses. But someone had to code that to happen that way and why would you even prototype that?

I can understand at the point the Police were involved that it looked like Woods was the impersonator. I suspect that 99%+ of the time in such circumstances the actual impersonator would be the other way round. Again for those taking issue with the bank clerk. The most common case of someone...

There's me thinking the worst thing about the console market is the platform exclusives... Turns out it's a great feature! Never let a good deed go unpunished.

Agreed, I wasn't presenting this as a practical choice, but I'm trying to understand if the ecological negatives caused by dams also apply to natural lakes, as removing dams is presented in the article as only improving ecology and biodiversity, which to me seems too absolutist.

Okay, but does the same logic apply to natural lakes. Can I say "This damn is important due to agriculture / downstream urban areas / power generation, so in order to get the same ecological benfits I'm going to remove this natural lake over here to improve the ecology of the rivers feeding into...

I think the article is trying to say in many respects it is not. If managed carefully you can restore a lot of the original habitat both up and downstream of the dam site. I assume there is a local ecology that has grown up around the dam and is now being destroyed, involving species that...

There are problems with both extremes. This top-of-google stats website gives Chrome+Edge a 65% market share, with Safari at 20%. That's definitely 'oligopolistic'. An good level may be 40%, 30%, 20% for a top 3. Not sure how this compares to Internet Explorer dominance in its hayday? Are we...

I’m intrigued by the original cause of ,moderator concern. What are the incentives for people using bots to post on SO? Is it to increase their reputation, relying on upvotes from people even when the answer is incorrect or low quality? Or is it that people see LLM output as likely plagiarism...

Is there anywhere that documents / reviews schemes that do work? Currently I’m looking at Climeworks to offset emissions from flying, as I see that as the most ‘guaranteed’ method. But I’m finding it hard to come across other schemes that are backed up. By good third party analysis.

I think that to look at the obvious technological idiocy is to miss the danger. If Mr lindell is Machiavellian, what he wants is to lay the groundwork so people who want to believe have a reason to believe him when he makes claims of fraud etc after the election. He spends his time now, before...

Honestly Dr Gitlin I think your point is poorly explained in the article. I (and I think GaitherBill) interpreted it as 'you were forced to position the wheel unnaturally low in order to see the dash over the top of the wheel, because otherwise it is obscured by the wheel itself'. Whereas after...
