  • 800w is less than half what you could pull from any outlet in the US. Standard electric breakers are rated for 15amp continuous at 120v. Most heating appliances designed to run for long periods of time (like electric heaters, or countertop cooking) run around 1800watts. So you could pretty easily plug in two 800w solar panels to back-feed a single circuit.

    50amp 220v is about the limit on one circuit for most residential homes (for ovens, or electric central heating) which is what would be used for the fastest electric car charging at home.

    That’s plenty of headroom for in-circuit solar generation.








  • Depends on what the surgery is.

    If you’re doing a standard surgery on an organ, for example an appendectomy, you just start by taking images of the organs, then if everything is where it normally is, they just use landmarks like slightly left of the bellybutton.

    If you’re doing surgery on some broken bones, you might have to make more measurements to ensure things are put back where they should be.

    A lot of times, for really important surgeries, they’ll make a full 3d model and have a template created that you place over the surgical area to ensure you get everything exactly where it should go.






  • Wow, that’s a terrible article. They just repeated three times that stuff fell into the sea, and the cruise ship is stuck for at least a day.

    They implied the stuff fell off the cruise ship, but they don’t actually say it.

    They implied that the stuff was undeclared, but don’t actually say it.

    They don’t actually say why the cruise ship is stuck. Are the containers blocking the ship from leaving? Are they stuck cause they had undeclared fruit and they need to be held for paperwork/questions? Are they held cause they’re not sure if something else will fall from the ship?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this article was entirely written by AI with no editing.



  • The point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there’s no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.

    If your password gets stolen, only two entities need to be told it’s invalid. You and the website the password is for.

    If an SSL certificate is stolen, everyone who would potentially use the website need to know, and they need to know before they try to contact the website. SSL certificate revocation is a very difficult communication problem, and it’s mostly ignored by browsers because of the major performance issues it brings having to double check SSL certs with a third party.
