Even though some of these are pretty old, they look fascinating. The human imagination is really something. That skyscraper bridge would look so badass in real life!

I have a N5 (ya...), and I've found that somedays I'll be getting ready to go home from the office (where I sit like 20ft from a WiFi AP), and find my phone down to ~20-30% battery life - and a quick look at battery stats will hap

Thats because you have enough thermal mass and evaporative cooling capacity to withstand those temperatures for a short period of time - ie, very little of your body will experience drastically elevated temperatures for long - if at all. Re

I wouldn't use 'probably' at all. The level of proof submitted is incredibly light - it only inspects two and a half proteins - and doesn't attempt to inspect the relationship between its proposed mechanism (change in hy

No, its just too expensive, and probably too heavy. If OP is right (pretty sure he is), he said that by using something completely free (average weight), we were able to achieve like 50+ years of safe operation of largish commercial airline

I mean, most of what North Americans do in their every day life is robbing a child in Africa of... all sorts of things.

Can you clarify what your culture is? And who specifically these out-groups that you worry about are? I'm not trying to bait you - you're essentially making an argument that relativism in some forms runs into problems when pressed

Sure. It's just xenophobic. And since the OP's culture was clearly a white man's culture - a culture that has been relatively slow to accommodate others, in many ways its still a racist, sexist vision - granted one with unusu

Because the story is useless. Story shows that cancer death rate in SF is ~160-200 per 100,000 depending on demographic. Overall US cancer death rate is about 170 per 100,000 ( https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/underst

They are all pluses, but most of those didn't exist till the last couple years. So effectively the first 6 or so years of Python 3 existing had much less incentive. I think the flip around - ~30% adoption of a newest version at 1-2 yea

You can interpret that statement in any number of ways. That quote originated no later than 1994. The semi-conductor industry then was certainly dominated by men. In that sense, the use of the male gender is surely just a byproduct of its e

I've found the ftp-sync extension's sftp support adequate for my use so far. I've definitely found full-syncs to be a bit slow when there's a lot of stuff in the folder, but it seems ok so far.

Are they sleeping 3 hours a day every day? Or is that just their average when they get a shitty on-call rotation? I think both cases are ridiculous, but it's worth separating the two cases.

It's worth noting that many developed world's medical systems have a problem with the acute-chronic gap. Remember that pretty much all systems grew out of acute care - as a result, nearly all of them are quite good at it. But one

Ok, maybe the second paragraph is kinda bunk, but there's still good stuff in the third paragraph. I mean, the question is 'diversity in the workplace' in western nations pretty much comes down to asking the questions of &#x2

Not denying the asymmetry of power and actions, but I think calling the relationship as purely "US is bady" is while less wrong than just "Iran is bady", it still pretty wrong, and an honest description of the relationsh

I think calling the relationship between two countries who do bad shit to each other, but generally don't want to have to do bad shit to each other (if nothing else because it distracts them from other issues, or cause bad shit include

Thats because the US Navy has two rear admiral ranks. The lower rear admiral is a 1 star officer and is equivalent to commodores in other navys. The upper rear admiral is a 2 star officer is equivalent to "normal" rear admirals in

Intel will probably end of spinning this as the first (more impressive) set of numbers being estimates of the potential limits of the new technology. Almost certainly those nice round numbers came from some engineers (or more likely, engine

The Air Force requested the ability for the shuttle to take off from Vandenburg Airforce Base, go into polar orbit, and then land back at Vandenburg at the end of that one orbit. This required that the Shuttle have ~1000nm of cross range (t

Well, they've almost certainly been trying that. And as the OP said, it hasn't been paying off in a big way. If they've been doing it (I'm guessing they have), then they've probably benefitted, just not enough for t

Should probably begin by saying that there's no fundemental reason why China could not eventually develop their own modern turbofans without outside assistance. But obviously now is better for China. Designing and building modern turbo

shrug it's honestly going to be a bit hard to compare. But for a rough guess, the AN-225 can lift like 300,000kg, and the AN-124 (from which its derived from) can lift like 230,000kg. The AN-225 has 6 of the same engines that the AN-

Something to take note of was that analog systems could drive far more power than solid state systems at that time, especially given the USSR's relative backwardness in solid state electronics. It really is worth noting how montrously

True, but they really should have taken the care to clarify that this is also suppose to be the new normal. Kind of sloppy otherwise.

C3 and C4 refer to different methods of photosynthesis. C4 confers advantages in sub optimal conditions - the most obvious form is growing in conditions of water stress. Study authors show through a whole pile of methods that the grain part

Did you go to waterloo? I'm in the exact same boat =P. I'm currently dual hatted as a system's engineer and software developer, so people are always inadvertently right when they ask me that question.
