I thought that the 5g standard includes new frequencies below the 750/700 mhz allocations of 4g (not just the high ghz freqs)?

No. Both people must give consent. Full stop. Telling people they are actually somewhat powerless in their sexual relationships is bad advice and unhealthy.

I started to wonder why 4g rather than 5g, which just has more available frequencies, but then realized that network congestion isn't exactly the concern on, literally, the moon.

Last I checked, both people make that choice. Both are necessary, and neither is sufficient.

Hey, when your pet is lost, you pull out all the stops.

There was a time that this may have been true, but wind farms are definitely net negative on carbon in this decade.

If we're going to discuss this further, we need a source for the claim that they're still net carbon positive (not from an oil company propaganda website).

I think that was about ready to happen sans AI.

And so it begins.

Something/nothing creates the universe: eternity

Universe creates life: 9 billion years

Life creates intelligence: 4 billion years

Intelligence creates artificial intelligence: 100,000 years

Artificial intelligence creates life: 2 years

For the purpose of digging into this data (not necessarily for the visualization itself), it would be nice to see black and white averages compared across income cohorts, or otherwise somehow controlled for income. That is, are the black mean incomes just lower but home ownership on par with white income peers, or is there a racial effect across income levels?

Hmmm... Well, I suppose we can all fly by just flapping our arms, but nobody has flapped hard enough yet.

I'm not sure if a civilian company has any way of protecting their assets, including orbital assets, other than essentially declaring neutrality in a conflict. And this isn't even neutrality - they're not offering the same service to Russia.

Ok, so a breakdown of what happened:

Starlink provided internet in Ukraine to help keep their people informed and keep their economy running. No other company is prepared to provide this service at the level Starlink can.

Ukraine wanted to use the Starlink connections for military purposes.

Starlink was not prepared to become a military target (including their satellites). Surely there was an internal memo from the risk management department that said, in more words, "I told you so."

Starlink tries to protect the service they're providing to Ukraine and their own infrastructure in literally the only way they can: declare neutrality. (Edit: Except not neutrality, since they aren't offering the same service to Russia.)

People already upset about Elon Musk, in general, express their frustration about Starlink.

No one is upset with Hughesnet or Viasat for not providing their vastly inferior service for Ukraine.

There's a book about this, called Eat the Frog.

The thesis is to do the hardest things early, which makes the medium things less hard and the easy things can still get done.

That's a pretty half-hearted attempt at avoiding their impending population collapse. Honestly, I shudder to think of the policies they'll introduce when they figure out they need more babies.

Then there's the "similar fuel" comment. Diesel and jet fuel are more similar than diesel and gasoline.

The most important difference is reciprocating mass. Piston engines have reciprocating masses - things that move one way, then turn around and move the opposite way, all along the same axis. In a turbine engine, it just goes round and round, so nothing has to handle all the force of repeatedly reversing direction. It's also called an "engine", but it works entirely differently, and so very different physical limitations apply.

You're getting other answers that are sort of fixating on the "diesel" part of your question and why diesel engines rev a little lower than gasoline engines, but that's not the critical difference between piston engines and turbine engines - it's all about the reciprocation.

It's kind of true, though - HD and Lowe's are like the WalMart of building materials. Some things (e.g. nails and screws) are standard. For other things (windows, doors, flooring, siding), they sell a narrow variety of stuff that's around or below the bottom end of what's available at businesses that specialize in those things (e.g. Anderson, Pella, Marvin, etc. for windows; Lowe's carries the bottom of the line of Pella, as HD does for Jeld Wen).

The point OP makes about faucets is the most clear-cut difference: HD and Lowe's have the same exact faucet from the same manufacturer but built with inferior internals; the local plumbing supply house has the same thing but with the internals that were originally engineered for that unit. And of course, it will cost more.

They don't say the size of these cans, although remember there are more reasonably-sized cans than your standard soup can.

People don't understand that there are lots of drugs in prison - all the drugs, generally speaking - and that virtually all of them get moved around in someone's rectum at some point.

Mmmmm no, you're going nuts, bot.

Yeah, that's what we do. We take standing dead trees, trees that have fallen within the last year, or trees that people are taking out anyway that wouldn't be used for anything.

And I'd never claim it's highly scalable, but if one has the ability, it's a heck of a lot better than just burning nattyG.

Aw, man - I'm one of those last people populating the wood part of the chart! It's renewable and nearly carbon neutral (not completely, but most of the carbon in the tree will be oxidized and released as a gas if it rots on the ground in the woods).

Or perhaps they were just implying a spoiler...

While this was one of the most important scientific observations in history, I still don't know why we're listening to this bastard who knows nothing.

I had a self-defense instructor once who was discussing the "myth of the unarmed man". He reviewed a case with us from New York City, in which a guy who was an artist with no arms got into an altercation with another man over a woman, and ultimately killed the other guy by bashing him with his head and feet.

The point, of course, was that there's no such thing as an unarmed man from the perspective of use of force, because there can always be a disparity of force that becomes dangerous to you.

I'm impressed by this very straight-faced look at what was going on in Kenosha, and I'd like to see more independent journalism covering these events about which the mass media straight fabricates its "facts" in exchange for clicks.
