I have a USB c docking device connected to a USB c charging block. The block has three ports. And can deliver 45w,30w,20w,15w,and 10w.

When plugging in a second device to the block, the docking device goes off and then turns on. Meaning the block has to turn off and boot on every time a device is removed or inserted.
Hmm... I pray this does not foreshadow increased fires and accidental electric shocks. Very cheep USB cables are handed out like PEZ or chiclets.
I love how we collectively ditched FireWire only to later use USB for power over data cables.

Now, who would start to standardize lithium ion battery packs for different voltages? It would be quite nice to have a pile of packs of 12V that you can slap together to get the voltages 24, 36 and 48 as you need and all your tools from power drill to chainsaw, lawnmower and ebike could use the same packs - regardless of the brand.

(I assume there are some technical challenges regarding balancing a 1Ah pack with 80Ah pack when someone is going to slap them together to get 24V, but those can't be unsolvable.)
No. Nothing of this is mandatory except 5V 100 mA (the old USB 1 baseline), which every device must support - every USB power source must be able to support a dumb load at 5V that consumes 100 mA of current, and every USB power sink can assume that it can safely draw 100 mA of current at 5V.

That is why USB PD exists - it allows negotiation between a power source and a power sink to determine the voltage level that the source supplies and the maximum current that the sink can draw before the source shuts down for overcurrent protection. Additionally to that, there also exist a number of legacy current negotiation systems using pull-up and pull-down resistors between GND, Vcc and D+/D- (Qualcomm Quickcharge, Apple's stuff and I believe there is another proprietary Samsung scheme), and there is a legacy negotiation scheme from the USB 2 era that allows 5V at 500 mA. And on top of that, for the higher voltage and amperage ranges, cables carry their own "marker chips" that end up in the USB PD negotiation as well, to prevent dumb cables from overcurrent situation as well - IIRC it's >3A that need marked cables.

For device implementers, both on the source and sink (or dual-role) device, there exist a number of specialized ASICs and implementation example circuits that can do all the negotiations required on their own (preconfigured with a separate EEPROM chip or via bootstrap resistors) or in cooperation with a device's microprocessor. There have been a number of high profile fuck-ups along the way (e.g. Nintendo Switch third party docks that passed high voltage to the Switch without negotiating first or the first RPi 4 generation that messed up resistors preventing marked cables from working), but by now the lessons learned from these should have propagated through the industry and the how-to guides.
The five phases of Jira

1. dev team member signs up for the free Jira tier, sets it up with a simple flow. The 5-8 people on the team use it among themselves to keep track of work and deliver.

2. Management sees dev team improve its metrics, decides everyone in the company should use Jira.

3. Corporate standardizes Jira usage across the company, creating the Workflow to End All Workflows, with dozens of custom fields, many of them required.

4. Actual work grinds to a crawl as everyone spends more time futzing with Jira than developing.

5. dev team member signs up for the free tier of a competing, simpler bug tracker. Proceed to step 1

Jira haters, it could be worse. It could be Microsoft's Azure DevOps, fka Visual Studio Team Services

I didn't miss the point. The firearms thing was tangential at best.

The rest of your follow up comment is also tangential, although much more interesting than the firearms junk.

The device only has to support those voltage when it can source the matching power profile (i.e. 140W). But usually if you have to be able to generate two different voltages, it's not much more effort to make three or ten, as long as all the components can deal with the higher voltage.
If a prospective spy believes they will be burned by their handling organization, then they will never work for the CIA.
Yes. Normally, I do not think it has to be explicitly said, but this time it may be necessary. Speech that is not offensive does not require protection. If I say sun is shining, people will not try to deplatform me. Offensive ( and legal ) speech might cause that to happen. This is not acceptable and not part of the promise of this nation.

<< Any platform that protects the freedom of speech for fringe groups will become a haven for them and will be eventually abandoned by mainstream users.

And this is where some universal standards are necessary. But right now it is just wild west of internal guidelines and moderator's mood ( FB level 3 violent rhetoric or whatever Orwellian language they used to describe it comes to mind ).

Parent is right. The idea of undesirables has to be let go. The public square belongs to everyone. Companies with a reach in billions can't pretend to not be a public square.
I believe there really are undesirables -- people who have demonstrated an inability to participate in civil society and who eventually drive away or drown out all other perspectives in a community. Given the paradox of tolerance, every community is faced with the binary choice between kicking them out or becoming nothing but them. (Like how a bar that is welcoming to Nazi patrons eventually becomes a Nazi bar.)

But if people who are engaging in good-faith discussions get banned or downvoted simply because they have different opinions or perspectives then I agree that this produces a damaging homogeneity.

Striking the right balance is critical but is also challengingly subjective, so I get why many people gravitate to extremes.
I imagine there were a lot of small developers hoping for a repeat of the early days of the Switch.

This really is a plausible scenario. Hydrate buildup is a very real risk in a pipeline that isn't flowing. Trying to deal with it in a less than ideal way can absolutely lead to loss of containment and would explain the multiple leaks.

Of course, hostile action is also a plausible explanation, but it is very fair to point out that we really don't have any clear evidence either way and both are reasonably likely.
Your argument is flawed on so many levels. We are talking about people with emotions not machines to be exploited. Many spies are spying for ideological reasons not in return for any money. They place themselves in enormous danger in order to help the US. To not have the basic decency to even keep their identity secret is frankly reprehensible and irresponsible.

Yes, but some people prefer to have a website as a mobile app, because it's then more convinient to access and to use. Mobile apps of a website can also be easily optimized to suit for using on a phone, compared to using the mobile version of a website (take Gmail for example).
I think maybe you two aren't on the same page. I know you are referring specifically to tension and release as a music theory concept, which is for sure very common. Even a single "tense" chord in a chorus resolving to the tonic is tension and release. I think the other person is speaking of "tension" in the context of progression, like a song's building up to a crescendo would be considered tension, or a dubstep drop, or a metal breakdown, etc. (those are also tension and release in music theory, but I think the person is speaking broadly in laymens terms)

This doesn't make much sense to me. Even if we assume the premise that they have such a motivation and can't.. simply refuse to pay fines.. there are easier ways for them to destroy their ability to deliver gas without causing such expensive damage. For instance, they could claim more of their turbines failed. Then when the war is over and they want to sell more gas, the repairs would be a lot cheaper.

You should make noise because, unless you signed some particular contract, the code is your intellectual property and it's illegal to just take it away from you.

Both the US and Russia could have factions that benefit from Germany being unable to turn the gas back on. Factions in Germany, too.

Whomever did it (and US and Russia are NOT the only actors capable) the clear result is these pipelines are no longer operational and there is very little political will anywhere to rebuild them.
In an ideal world maybe. In the real word, what you hope for was definitely not the result of Europe's uncontrolled immigration policies. If you want future doctors, nurses, etc, you need to to select for those through a points based immigration system like the US, Canada, Australia, etc. are doing instead of letting all the chancers in who are willing to pay smugglers and cheat the asylum system and hope they'll then want to play by the rules and become doctors and nurses.

Last week I saw a report with Middle Eastern migrants stuck in Serbia wanting to cross into the EU (Germany and Austria specifically). They interviewed one migrant from Iraq with his wife and five small kids, let's call him "Bob", and the reporter asked Bob why he's trying to get to the EU. He said it's because there's no future in Iraq. Well Bob, let me ask you this, if you knew there's no future in Iraq, why did you decided to have five kids then? Surely if you live in poverty, then birth control is a better idea no? Or oral/anal/pulling out, if that's not available. But instead, the EU(German/Austrian) taxpayer will have to pay to house a man with no knowledge of birth control or sense of personal responsibility, who's only professional skill is busting nuts, and his numerous family.

A mixed-race friend of mine volunteers in a refugee center here since he speaks several languages and he's pissed that migrants just laugh at us, saying "Europeans are so stupid they pay us for everything then give us more money which we just send back home".

This kind of immigration does not breed the results you're hoping for since it mostly encourages the ones willing to cheat to get free stuff rather that to contribute to the host nation.

The rich countries with restrictive immigration policies and high barrier of entry (US, Canada, Australia, New-Zeeland, Switzerland), attract the highly skilled and most productive immigrants that will add the most amount of value back into the economy. EU mostly attracts welfare shoppers.

I agree. 1 billion years is a lot of research and development time. It only took us a few hundred years to go from agricultural society to spacefaring. 10 million X that amount of progress and we can either fix the sun, move the earth, or repopulate on other stars. This will be a non-issue.
I don't think that advertising drugs to consumers should be legal.

I'd go further, and restrict advertising to doctors to a specific format, something like the Nutrition Facts label we have for food. They'd be allowed the brand/trademark, but everything else is specified to be in effect a data sheet.

The only thing allowing advertising to consumers will do is result in a lot of them insisting on, or agreeing to, drugs they don't actually need.

The competence identified is how well the agency was able to rapidly determine trust in a new employee; there's no good way to determine trust before the person is cleared, and after they are cleared access to confidential information is assumed (otherwise you have a dead agency incapable of hiring new people).

The NSA has a responsibility to remove weaknesses from their ranks, mission accomplished. If the problem you see is "Well agencies ought never give new people access to state secrets" then you can't have any changes ever - it's a dead organization.

The other competency I see is that none of the documents, which are of course going to be used in court, are available to the general public. They proved a weakness without leaking any information to parties outside the intel community. They essentially demonstrated that even if they hire a complete moron, state secrets will not leave protected facilities.

Not necessarily. If you're running the browser anyway, and the app is a PWA and can share that same instance. The "browser" overhead is not really there.

A native app, lets say that wants to play video and is using a cross platform GUI. You've got to load and run that code, and have all the relevant code in the native app's address space. That would be a bunch of code that needs to load over the PWA which is leveraging something you have loaded in RAM anyway. In this case the native is actually worse than the PWA for resource utilization.

Launch CPU cycles can be similar, running a huge swath of GUI code for the native app vs a pre-loaded browser which only needs to run the JS and render the page.

Having your app's runtime already loaded on the system is a huge advantage.

Electron does not benefit from these advantages though. These are PWA exclusive advantages.

Right, your broader point that it'd be a non-tiny expense is correct, the ballpark total was just far enough off (~double) from the highest remotely plausible figure we might conceivably spend on public school lunches that I thought it worth pointing out.
IMHO there are two big motivations it seems -- one is that some sub-group that is not doing well right now, might advance their position with the act of war; or some sub-group stands to make a lot of money quickly, with this act of war.

It is hard to believe that top-level commanders on any side, would act directly .. in other words, no one that is doing well right now, would pull this trigger.. when you look at the person making the statements, look behind them to the left and the right, to see the actual suspects.

Water pressure at 80 meters would be about 130 psi, so the pipe is 2800 psi over "ambient" which gives it a certain amount of "pop" should it do so.

Not really no - the term for if a wire will melt/catch fire is ampacity, which depends on amps.

It’s very possible to vaporize a wire with just a few volts with enough amps!

The safety issue with voltage is due to the need for thicker insulation to avoid shorts, but the difference for 5V vs 48v isn’t that much.

It’s possible to carry a lot more power for the same amps (aka same wire ampacity) by upping the voltage, as Watts=amps*volts

That is why interstate power transmission goes up to millions of volts.

Most electrical codes also have carve outs for ‘low voltage’ as it’s tedious to try to regulate all the various ‘not dangerous’ stuff, which is considered 48 volts and below, which is why it’s limited to 48v. It’s considered ‘not dangerous’ due to the resistance/insulation of human skin making it a bit harder to kill your self with it, but with some work, still possible. It doesn’t take much amperage, if you’re trying - USB 2.0 has more than enough.

AC needs thicker insulation vs DC, but that is due to the peak of the AC waveform being much higher than the nominal voltage. 170V for ‘120V’ AC, for instance.
