Of course, both are right, unless an AI is running ones home energy use, the bill payer needs to know in advance the expected pricing so they can plan use, and of course smart meters are required to implement the billing side.
Interesting, and in the second case, I admit I had never considered that Google must extend credit to some of its customers and that it likely some of them won't pay and in this regard Google have to do what everyone else does and take dispute to court.
As a skydiver - slow and carefully is better, but with that one becomes quicker as one does when practising lots. The number of jumps one can have in a day is limited by aircraft availability rather than packing speed. So of course there are 'professional' packers (say army) who are not constrained by aircraft and say have a week or two to repack a couple of hundred chutes - so different number likely apply. Further ones reserve chute needs to be repacked yearly (or so)- and that's one fella that one does wants the packer (needs a certified packer) to be slow and careful with. Thinking about it aviation (and space) seems to be one area where care comes before speed. So dude I think you are right in calling this out. [edited]
So reading between the lines - the bracket holding the helium tank (inside the oxygen tank) broke, the helium tank ripped away from it's plumbing (pressure lines and valve(s)) and the high pressure gas contained in it escaped into the oxygen tank causing it to burst.
The SpaceX description is a little vague about the plumbing, I'd like to know more about that - is it an on off vale that opens and closes under command of the flight computer to maintain pressure, or is it a modulated valve that is controlled by a PID loop or the like.
Sweet and totally within the spirit of RaspberryPi. Thanks for releasing it.
PS. 3K sample/sec is good enough for a lot of work on sensors and also for the youngish to get a handle on how to do ADC and process it - who knows some young person may start of experimenting with something like this and go onto design something quite awesome in the future.
Yes it's a good thing (for the tinkerers of this world) and I suspect its a long term view for MS. If young tinkerers can tinker away on some of the cool hardware out there leveraging MS products/tools for free (in the same way they can using linux tools) then in the future maybe some of those young folk will bring to this world some awesome startups also using the MS tool chains, a chain they may well be prepared to exchange cash for - but certinally a chain they will be familiar with.
Of course those not happy with that can fork the Arduino and its tool's - as far as I know they are all open.
Of course it may lead nowhere MS and they may well drop it when the return does not pan out.
My bad. Sadly or luckily it's close to being exactly on other side of the world from me and while I do use maps to help me place things, this time I didn't or if I have in the past, I've forgotten (it happens).
I generally use Thunderbird and while I have not checked what it does in all cases, it generally flags when there is remote content and provides options regarding loading it. I'm happy with that. I know many folk of course use web based mail readers, and this is directed at them, but if its a big issue using a product like Thunderbird may be the way to.
I was impressed by how small the barge looked compared with the F9 it's clever that the F9 can autonomously target such a small area. If they keep targeting 'Just Read the Instructions' by the time land based landings come to be it will be nailed. Awesome stuff!
What's the difference between the tests on earth (as seen on youtube etc) where the engine runs the whole time and seems to display good throttle control and this type of landing?
Not quite, if the wind is too strong the blades feather (edge on to the wind) brakes exist but are puny and are only for maintenance use. Some blades have a tip that the rotates and causes high drag in the event of feathering failing and going into an overspeed.
This is really cool - have a read of the tutorial it presents what's going on in a concise manner. Makes it all seem quite simple... until it gets to the end. "Nice work" to the author.
Sandstorm - this is wickedly cool, tried the demo and it worked great, can't understand all the 'do this, do that' comments. As someone who is just learning to play with docker - just finished dockerizing all my vps apps so the first thing I think of is there a Dockerfile to build this or a docker image - off to have a look for one. Awesome stuff - like the collection of apps you have ready to go. Maybe you have fixed the landing web page in the meantime but I had no trouble understanding what you are about. 100.times upvote.
One of the more realistic news feed titles for this event. Yes sir, SpaceX nailed the launch, it was awesome to watch, more goodies on the way to the ISS - I hope the rest of the mission goes well.
The fact that there was a storm that could cause icing (perhaps due to super cooled water, or is it super chilled water) could have been shared thus giving AF447 a greater opportunity to avoid it, which could/would have meant the pitot's would not have become blocked which would mean the auto pilot would not have turned off due to faulty airspeed input which would mean there would have been no need for pilot to fly the plane and hold the stick back for so long. Of course its a moot point for AF447 - RIP.
After reading the precautions you folk take - I hardy think the OP is exaggerating. Emergency breathing apparatus under our desks pretty much sums it up. With respect.
To add to the fray: https://yunohost.org/ is an option too for easy install and setup of a mail server - there was a recent HN item on them a while back. Been using it for a month or two and it's worked great so far. Needs Debian. Supports multiple domains.
Yes exactly that - I am a customer with several vps, I signed up knowing that it could be a dud (when something seems too good to be true, it normally is), $12 a year I think is pretty cheap (price of 4 coffees, one days caffeine for some) for the lowest spec. I'm happy enough, so sorry to hear you are having trouble, I hope you get it all resolved.
This looks cool - I just tried an install on a Ubuntu server - but it seems Debian really is needed, I guess that's why they said that :) - So going to spin up a Debian vps and try again.
