It's probably the same amount as before. More phones and tablets haven't had a big effect on the amount of general purpose computers. There's devices today like raspberry pi and Arduino that fill the same niche as older general-purpose computers.

Your assume things are different and must be worse. This is a take old as time. Socrates complained about the youth no longer taking the studies as serious as his generation did. The world would have fallen into complete chaos if it were ever true. It's the conservative myth that things were better and can only get worse.

These kids accessing websites that tell you that a general purpose computer is needed, would have to rely on textbooks and magazines to get the same information in the past. A much bigger barrier, even identifying which ones you need.

People wrote software before there's was computers for them to grow up with. They'll be able to develop these skills in university's, colleges, coding courses or online.

I grew up prior to the app world. My exposure to computing during highschool was word, excel, access and once we used PowerPoint. Nothings changed, people are only taught what the teachers know.

Probably North Africa and middle east boarders and territories during the 19th and 20th century.

Get a metal bar, bend it like the sketch I did and drill the corresponding holes. You could 3d print a rectangular spacer to stop the pin holding part from compressing in use.

Hinges are often made of sheet metal.

This can be cut, drilled and bent to fit. A vice, a drill, a file, a hammer and hacksaw would be enough for most hinges.

If the door remains suspended with just one hinge a plastic one may work for a short while. The hinge only suspended half the load.

You can also print the hinge with a high infill percentage to improve strength and resist deformation.

CNC machining is going to be incredibly expensive for this sort of part.

Metal 3D printing is also very expensive. Unless your talking about plastic impregnated with metal, in these cases the plastic is responsible for the structure of the part the metal is just aesthetic.

It's relatively recent that OS can be installed in such a short time. MacOS isn't officially supported for installing on these systems so there process used here isn't going to be well optimised. Apple only care about installing MacOS on their own hardware, which is likely quick when they do it in production and slow elsewhere.

Big issue is you don't know how well it does this. As you can't see the other side of the equation.

Even if it's perfect. Many times I need to use a chromium based browser to use a website properly (the website fault not Firefox). Additionally many apps are just web views that are based on chrome. It's hard to avoid this type of tracking.

It's stain-less not stain-free. Stainless steel stains less relative to steel. The amount it stains less is relative to its additional alloys added like chromium. The more chromium the less stain, it also increases its price considerably.

The amount of stainless steel used on these vehicles is considerable. So there will be a lot of money to be saved by using a low grade stainless steel.

Most over 50 that don't use a computer for work are the same.

It will be similar to a big pulley.

The weight will pull the turbine, the turbine will require a torque to generate current. This torque will act as an upwards force against gravity. This force will slow the fall of the weight significantly. The turbine 'consuming' the torque allows the weight to fall.

The higher the power output the faster it will fall. This will be adjustable. No power out = stationery. A small amount of power out, the descent speed will be tiny. A faster fall a higher power output.

This won't be designed to fall at full speed. It'll be designed for a long slow descent. The theoretical power will likely be much higher. It will be limited by the turbine and wiring capacity that's rated at 2MW.

If your calculations are correct it will be able to generate $1.50 a second. It will also consume power that is below market price/free/paid to consume when it 'charges'. It also provides the utility of stabilising the electrical grid against renewables. Increasing the capability of the grid to support more cheap renewable energy, without the lead time of nuclear or the pollution of biofuel.

Fusion is self sustained and highly scalable.

If it was practical we wouldn't need the other forms, except for places not serviced by electrical grids.

Fission takes a long time to build and finance. It hasn't been invested enough in. We need more green energy to replace fossil fuels faster than governments can get fusion plants up. That's why wind, solar and hydro are and should be the preference.

Hydro needs the right geography. Solar and wind need the right local weather. Solar great in a California desert, but terrible in Scotland where wind and hydro are very effective.

There some cases where a specific technology is the best and clearest option. But when fission becomes reliable, it will cover the vast majority of use cases in the highly Industrialised nations. Everything else will be niche.

Is their an imperial equivalent to ohm?

It might be the case that imperial resistance is ohm the same as metric. Metric uses ohm as it's constituent with base units of metric, but imperial doesn't abide by rules like that.

If you had to make a imperial equivalent to resistance, it would be a fraction of the resistance of the monarchs finger.

Trains in the UK are more expensive than flying as well. They are also slower. They only make finical sense when the journey is too short or you need to be in the centre of the city when arriving.

Social media makes it easier for the perpetrators, to target vulnerable people.

It also reduces opportunities for family/teachers/community to intervene. If someone saw you talking with suspicious characters, they are more likely to bring that up with parents. Social media can isolate all interactions to be between the victim and groomer.

Social media platforms also give the perpetrators anonymity. A groomer can pose as someone else that gives them access to more victims. They can also simultaneously target more victims at once and over a broader area.

It is not right to say social media is not a fault. It's not right to say it was a problem before so it doesn't matter anymore. This attitude only benefits the criminals.

Social media companies are explicitly and knowingly targeting children to generate ad revenue. They know these children aren't using the platform safely and they know they are circumventing it's age restriction features. They don't care about the consequences, only the revenue they can generate.

They're never free. They can be sent back to jail for the rest of their life for any minor crime or suspicion.

There is a different sentence of life imprisonment which is where someone is in prison for life. This is often what people expect when they hear life sentence.

It is clear from the conversations these two murders had, they were very motivated to kill someone. If they got away with this murder they would likely do it again. So a 20 year sentence is needed. Because they are young they may change and come to genuinely regret these crimes, they also may not change. This type of sentence gives some flexibility - they can be let of jail in 20 years or kept in even longer.

I would expect they stay in prison for a longer time. A patrol board is going to have a hard time trusting them.

The industrial revolution gave the common person more power and leverage over those that governed them.

The common person knew the evils of slavery. It is covered in the bible and the least educated would still have some knowledge of the bible. Many religious people in slave states started arguing that slavery was just and the right order of things but this was a newer idea.

Slavery impacted the commoner as it pushes labour prices down. So even without the moral argument there was a economic one.

Slavery hasn't ended. American slave plantations did, but slavery didn't. There are more slaves now than ever. We could end it but cheap consumer goods keeps it going.

He wants to sell kids attention to his customers. They are they easiest group to advertise to. They are super impressionable and not rational. This makes them valuable to meta.

Software engineering does have standards and methods to developing software. These standards and methods are applied in Defence and Aerospace applications. Software engineering was developed or conceived by NATO to manage the increasing complexity of software development.

The big problem is people often confuse software development or programming with software engineering. Calling anyone that programs a software engineer. This isn't the case. It's entirely possible to be a software engineer without knowing how to code (but impractical).

They often has options in how and who delivers their ads.
