  • New Who tends to run on Bugs Bunny logic but also wants you to take it seriously. Try some old Doctor Who if you can handle very bad effects. Early Tom Baker or the Jon Pertwee stuff at least tries to make sense.

    Also they often have the doctor have to work at the problem and have a plausible solution. Now it's just I pushed the radiation in my shoe.

    Back then the sonic screwdriver was just a high tech swiss army knife. The doctor would use it to open panels and rewire things. These days it's a do anything magic wand.

  • Actually no. Batteries and thier inverter adapt in the about one second to half a second range. The massive inertia of a turbine adapts in the millisecond range.

    To maintain 60 hz you need to be in the very low milliseconds range. Remember at 60 hz you do a full sin wave cycle in 16ms.

    Turbines act as a tremendous power smoother in the grid.

  • Partially. Inverters providing virtual inertia is good but has the problem of still being active and reactive. It helps and is cheaper and more efficient than flywheels.

    Flywheels and turbines however provide a very sticky frequency. They help out a lot with stability and give inverters time to respond.

    Think balancing a stick on your hand vs anchoring it in clay.

    If we take enough turbines off line we are still probably going to need some mechanical power stabilization no matter how inefficient.

    But yeah I think we are going to see a blend using as much electrical and as little mechanical as possible.

  • It's not just base load, turbines also provide grid stability. All the quick fluctuations as people turn things on and off are hard to load balance with solar, wind, or battery. A big spinning turbine has a lot of inertia. That helps keep thr grid at a constant frequency. As solar gets bigger and bigger we might need big solar powdered flywheel generators just to stabilize the grid.

  • If you are trying to steel credentials from people with power and money passengers in first class are a good target.

    Where else are you going to find a cluster of people like that that are using the wifi and are going to be there for hours. It's about as optimal as I can think of.

    Even better if you are targeting a spefic company. Just pick flights out of the headquarters for that company.

    If you want to attack say Microsoft pick a flight from Seattle to DC. Pretty good odds of a Microsoft high up being on the flight and wanting to use the wifi for work.

  • Firefox and it's forks are the best browsers. They are still not very good. There are a ton of bad decisions and poor code. From old legacy stuff like how user profiles are stored to closed source shit like pocket.

    The mozilla foundation has been on a downhill slide since google hired the skilled programmers to make chrome. Bad leadership,poor spending, and stupid priorities.

    So yes firefox is the best browser. But that's kind of like being the best cable company. Not exactly a great thing.

  • Not exactly the AP article is bad. You still can't make an agreement before the act and get paid latter or ask for a payment latter.

    However as long as you keep it sufficiently wink wink nudge nudge you are fine as intent now has to be proven.
