1. Just imagine the required charging infrastructure if all vehicles were suddenly battery powered. Charging electric vehicles requires quite some power. Can the power grid installations sustain that (power lines, Transformer stations...) ? What resources (financial and physical (e.g. Cooper)) are required in order to adapt the infrastructure ? Just an example: A supercharger station which can charge a few cars at "full speed" simultaneously can draw > 1 Megawatt. Furthermore, superchargers are quite complex (and expensive) technology;
2. Batteries are not a suitable large scale energy storage. However, non-dispatchable, fluctuating energy sources such as solar and wind power require huge amounts of storage in order to sustain the power demand.
I wonder why Apple does not include a hypervisor in iOS, and "risky" processes such as iMessage, Safari (maybe a Secure Safari version) could then be executed in a separate virtual machine. The hardware (CPU + RAM) in the iPhones these days should be able to sustain it. Or would there be serious drawbacks to this ?
I'm not from the US and I am not a native English speaker.
The federalist papers are, in my opinion, a true work of art. I find the linguistic elegance and finesse of these texts highly admirable.
Unfortunately, to my dismay, the usage of such "complex" language is discouraged nowadays. Or to express it in the appropriate linguistic style: Our modern era seems to espouse a predilection for accessibility and brevity, often at the expense of the stylistic grandeur and intellectual richness that was once the hallmark of our written and spoken discourse.
It's really nice to see that C++ implementations in the ML field are growing. Personally I do not like Python very much. C++ does not force you to do things in a specific (Pythonic) way.
Its actually an article from 2011/2012. "Avoid meat" -> refers to "the china study" -> deeply flawed. I don't think there is scientifc consensus supporting this claim. There are actually studies which state quite the opposite.
I tend to disagree. (Modern) C++ is an incredibly powerful programming language. Contrary to some other languages it gives the developer maximal freedom and does not impose a particular way of doing things on the developer.
Excellent news, hopefully other European countries will follow that example. Especially Germany should immediately rethink and stop phasing out their remaining operational nuclear power plants.
(Some) Advantages of nuclear power in comparison to 'renewables':
- EROI (energy return on energy invested)
- ratio of land required / energy produced
- much lower flow of materials (rare earth etc.)
- constant and very high power output (no storage needed)
The lack of a constitutional court at federal level is in fact a major weakness of the system, there have been several attempts (1999, 2011, ...) to give the supreme court that competency (similar as in the US). Without such a court, the parliament is free to pass unconstitutional laws at their own discretion (which happens from time to time). Referendums are not a very good instrument for ensuring the constitutionality of legislation. Almost no citizen reads a law proposal which for example consits of 50 pages, let alone has the time or ability to ensure constitutional compliance of such. Approval of a particular legislation at a referendum merely signals basic political acceptance and is very much prone to manipulation by media (dis-)information, political advertisments, etc. At least the supereme court de-facto acts as a limited "constituional court" to protect the rights enshrined in the European human rights convention. Very interesting read: Federalist paper No. 78
I almost can't believe that it's 2020 and people are still disscussing or even worse "utilizing" Scrum. Pretty much all good and excellent Software engineers I know who had to deal with it at various companies hated it.
For example if you encrypt your disk or a file using a password, you also do not store a hash, the decryption/encryption key is derived from your password using a key derivation function such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt
Of course it is highly unlikely that it interfaces with the password screen. My point is that if you could extract a hash from the secure enclave it would make much more sense to brute force it on a powerful external cluster. However this seems not to be possible as the decryption is only possible inside the secure enclave element unique to the device, thus decryption attempts have to be done on the the device itself, GrayKey seems to have managed to circumvent the wrong attempts counter and/or the triggering of subsequent protection mechanisms.
