The text doesn't say 92 percent, 10 years and Powerwalls, it says 90 percent, 15 years and batteries.

Indeed he did not!

”During his second infection, the man did not have any symptoms”

Philosophically, this is unfair towards Covid-19. Any other ”illness” – no one would ever have known.

... it happens too often to be just a coincidence.

There must be money involved, right?

Thank God for Slashdot commenters!

No

ÂWithout knowing the specifics of the vulnerabilitiesÂ

The Âbackdoor is Telnet. Vodafone instructed Huawei to uninstall Telnet. Huawei agreed to do that, but didn't, because they needed it for installation and test. It sounds from the story like they only killed it.

ÂIn China, a company is a Chia pet. The state tells them what to do, and they do it.

There is no hard evidence that's happened with Huawei. -- 60 minutes

Nothing has changed since then.

Many forms of recycling take more energy than working from raw materials. Such recycling is only commercially viable thanks to the high charges for landfill and dumping of used goods.

Because classically, "recycling" means putting it back through industrial processes to manufacture a new item. The extended meaning of recycling to cover reuse, repair and repurposing inadvertently puts carbon-intensive collection and reprocessing of glass on an equal footing with not putting the glass in the bin at all and using it to store things instead of silly plastic Tupperware items.

If you do a work for hire, there's one person who's paying you. If you are an author, there isn't one person who just pays for everything -- you actually need to sell the book again and again to make back the time you spent on it.

There's a huge difference between copyright and patent.

Patent law was designed to prevent factory machinery designs being kept secret. Factory owners were inventing better and better machines, but keeping them secret so that they would retain competitive advantage. Some designs died with their owners. Patents protection was invented to encourage inventors to document their creations while preventing others from using them, but then to allow the next inventor to create a better machine without being blocked by the patent.

A book isn't a machine or technique, so it's not like technological advancement is hanging on being able to use a copyright work.

(That's not to say I don't think copyright terms aren't too long.)

However, Project Gutenberg does very very little to promote the fact that copyright terms are different in different countries. It would have been pretty trivial to set up the site with an awareness of international terms and dynamically generate correct copyright information for any users from outside of the US.

Leftie keyboards are harder to come by, and I used to work in a hot-desk office. Switching the mouse buttons and moving the mouse has been trivially easy in most places I've worked, so I've stuck with that.

Óbh-óbh.

Look, this is more like pointing out that you're measuring the total length of the world's rivers wrong when you measure the source of the Rio Negro and the Rio Amazon from source to sea, because for a fair portion of that length, the Rio Negro is the Amazon. If hydrological researchers were making such a fundamental error, someone would have to point it out.

But code researchers were making a completely analogous error, and it needed quantified. And now it is.

What honestly do you do in Linux that is easier or more convenient than it would be to use Windows 10? Apart from running services like Apache, MySQL etc, which I personally find easier in Linux, for any desktop use there's nothing about Linux that seems better. Driver support is generally worse, there's less support for games (and no, running them in a degraded way in WINE is not an option). I tend to run a Linux server as a VM under Windows 10 - I've NEVER experienced a crash in years of using Win 8/10, either...

I'm a rightie, but my left's my mouse hand -- the bloody numerical keypad on most keyboards makes rightie-mousing a practical impossibility.

Weird nature point: lefties and ambidextrous people typically have less of a "sworl" on the crown of their heads, meaning their hair is more symmetrical at the back (righties' hair tends to spiral to behind the left ear before going downwards, lefties' hair tends to go straight down across the back.)
