Almost everything is powered by AC. The things that actually work on DC like electronics, have power adapters to convert AC into DC for the device, like the little brick that comes with your laptop or phone charger.
There are rare exceptions, but EILI5 doesn’t care about those.
If you have examples, we could clarify.
I loved this.
Yes, but to OP’s point, it does get more detailed. How do you define uptime? I’ve seen contracts where uptime is not well defined, and I’ve seen other that are very prescriptive and some in between. E.g. All users access attempts must be responded to in under x many seconds and even milliseconds, 99.5% of the time. Other say peak loads over x many users, must have access on the 3rd try after getting a “site is busy, please try again” message. It all depends on what the site is and what they do because going to 99.99% for all users gets expensive.
A lot of web apps today are intermingled with loads of bloat from 3rd party sass providers that slow things down and increase transmission loads and failure at any one of them can cause a site to slow down to trigger a “downtime” quota even if the site works and the users successfully did their thing. (Because the sass failure was not critical).
And neither have a turret mounted gun. So disappointing.
Not yet. Perhaps sooner than we want.
I don’t think we can or should. Its promise is only dwarfed by its danger. We’re building our successor species.
I disagree. We should replace the C Suite Immediately. Lazy, entitled and unaccountable and they are paid WAY beyond their value.
Isn’t this how Half-Life began?
Turn based strategy. Anything that doesn’t require reaction time and too much fine motor control.
Sid Meier’s Civilizations series is a great example.
Sales figures are meaningless as Ticketmaster scalps their own tickets electronically through their API to 3rd parties. Then their resale ecosystem takes a fee every time they trade hands so maximizing transactional value through frequent trading is encouraged.
As for hotels, travel and the economy are now in the shitter thanks to Fascists who abandoned law and built detention camps.
Colour me skeptic. No mention of its properties, or composition. Sounds like some dude put iron powder in cement and cried eureka!
Make daydreaming your hobby. Way cheaper.
Reciprocity solves all problems. In the end, ypu end up not trading with belligerents.
Pay for it and tip the person. You have the means based on your post and airport staff are poorly remunerated.
We know nothing of his alien physiology. He could be like a worm. There are now two mauls, one originally the top, the other bottom. They are probably lovers.
The CIA doesn’t like competition.
He would know.
Strange you would assume I haven’t lived the life. I have.
I’ll just leave these here for your reading pleasure.
