> If a student does badly on a test it should be interpreted as that student needing more help. This is not always true. Any of these can lead to bad grades: * Min/maxing your study success. A passing grade can be totally sufficient

In my experience they understand a lot more than we expect of them. However most of the time they do not care and that makes them seem dumb.

Hey, we have a vaccine at least. If you feel like this make use of the fact that you cannot do much by yourself to change the situation. Sit down, avoid the news and let the world do whatever :)

This would be terrible since it means encountering a species with an aggressive first-contact approach and technological superiority.

We can run those inefficient machines on electricity from renewable sources. Reduce > Reuse > Recycle applies: Building a new computer will almost always be worse than keeping the old one, whose production cost has already been paid.

I just got a Renault Zoe 2020 last December and it's been great. Commuting to work and going to the shops is just as comfortable as with a combustion engine. No gas station visits and even with the high cost of electricity in Germany (

Whenever somebody argues having nothing to hide I ask: 1) Where were you last night? 2) How much money is in your bank account? Do you have any debt? 3) What is your Debit Card PIN/account password/... 4) What is your address? You

Well, or a great one if we could get a brain out of a messed up body into a functioning one. Probably both?

Yeah. lets hope there is some support we cannot see behind it.

Technology usually only sucks where there is no immediate consequence of this. For example I am currently working with some tools related to robot control and machine safety. Crashes are expensive and errors in safety can get you sued. That

Well, most elements on this list would allow us to move beyond needing so many assumptions. Lots of cost could be saved if I didn't need to perfectly measure all my owrkoffsets or didn't have to spend lots of time on designing my

Haven't seen metalworking on that list. It's amazing how far you can get with a vise, saw, files, drill and pliers. And it's also amazing how quickly you feel then need for actual machines and order a lathe and mill :| If you

Probably for the same reason many technical horrors arise: It seemed reasonable at the time, it was the simplest solution, somebody added it to the spec for some reason. Then things like this get used in such a way.

If the EU is sued by itself and needs to pay a fine, does that fine count as income and does that need to be factored into the fine? This might be the first case of an infinite payment.

In my experience you stick with a certain version, even as new stuff comes up. My current work is in C++14 and will not move to newer versions.

The problem is that these 11000 objects are moving among the existing ones. Some are nearly stationary on a geostationary orbit, while the LEO objects tend to zip around on wildly different orbits. So they are not sitting there, waiting to

I live in a small town in Germany and we have five of these in one year, with 20-30 devices coming in each time. We can fix most of them, even with fairly basic tools. Some observations: * One of the worst things to repair are electric shav

A country that censors content will be very interested in obtaining these logs from Google. Since they seem to be willing to cooperate with state actors, users might set themselves up for reprecussions later on.

Structural components can be built from light wood, like Balsa [1]. This migh be possible for the rotors too. I'm not sure a ready-made drone exists, but you could build this yourself. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?
