> Corn kind of reproduces itself every year (If you don't get the GMO kind), so you only need natural resources to continue to grow it right? Water, sunlight and labor?
At industrial scale, it has a huge petro-chemical fertiliser input.
Total energy input to agriculture in the US is less than 2% of total energy consumption. So "huge" there has to be taken in context.
All the energy inputs to agriculture could be replaced with non-fossil inputs. Fertilizer in particular needs hydrogen to make ammonia, but that can be produced from non-fossil sources.
There's always going to be a computer in it to drive it. It's just a matter of how generalised it is and how much weight/power consumption it's adding.
Yeah exactly. With realtime, a dropped packet is often too old by the time it's re-transmitted. It's actually harmful to wait for it when you'd rather just skip it and move on and stay as close to realtime as possible. It's a very different usecase from most uses.
I do wish QUIC allowed carrying streams that were useful for realtime in conjunction with allowing reliable streams. Using MPEG-TS over SRT to have it just spam metadata to handle the unreliableness is janky. It would be far nicer to have a reliable stream for metadata, then an unreliable one for realtime streaming.
A one-off consultation prior to his road racing career to see if he the right kind of fitness for road. I don't think the association should be used to tarnish Cadel without further evidence.
That seems like it would end up with police being incentivised to turn a blind eye to those who can afford expensive lawyers more than they already do?
Super simple: if policeman arrest rich guy who can hire good lawyer, then this guy have much higher chances to win in a court against policeman / police department and insurance company gonna have to compensate. So insurance premium gonna be higher for them in that case.
On other side piss poor suspect don't have a lawyer and capacity to get compensation by "police insurance".
