Pie charts shine when there several data points that can be grouped into 2-3 macro groups. The easiest example is "What is your opinion of ___?" (Strongly Favorable, Somewhat Favorable, Neutral, Somewhat Unfavorable, or Strongly U

A bank should keep the money secure. Anything >0% loss is unacceptable. They were greedy and had a duration mismatch. Interest rates rise and the value of the longterm bonds go down. The regulators should have stepped in and stopped tha

No publisher would want to sign a contract with an author that isn't likely to live much longer. It needs to be either a fixed amount, or Life + something.

I would take Wednesdays off. No more than 1 day away from a day off. Need to schedule an appointment for anything: Wednesday.

> Our proposed price is dictated by the fact that search has a non zero cost. With other search engines, advertisers cover this cost. But it costs us about $1 to process 80 searches. .0125 per search. The teams rate is twice that.

The problem isnt if you are actually brain dead. The problem is if you just appear to be brain dead. Organ harvesting is done without the aid of anaesthetic.

Someone can be both a better physicist and have a poorer understanding of physics. We have the luxury of time. We can learn about the great discoveries that the great physicist developed from scratch. Just imagine the type of discoveries he

The JWST and Hubble have multiple cameras. The Hubble IR image is likely just the IR camera while the JWST is likely a composite of multiple cameras. (This is purely speculation.)

You should add this game to boardgamegeek. They will also host the files for you if you want.

He didn't say he was retired from the military. You need 20 years in to get a retirement. A tour in Afghanistan is not sufficient.

I am curious if the video game effect is a function of the fps or exposure time. Would a video of 48 fps with 1/48s exposure look off? Not sure how a camera would be built that could do this...

Maybe the targeting works the other way around. Those refrigerators have cameras. Maybe a little bit of machine learning to figure out what you buy and play targeted ads based on what's in your fridge or what used to be in your fridge

Does it matter who he blames? There is enough blame to be spread around for both major parties. Trump had his -15- 45 days to slow the economy. Congress printed trillions of dollars. Nearly every governor was more draconian than the federal

The cost of the part doesn't matter. The cost of my time does. For common components, I need a parametric part so that I can instantly change the length, size or type. If my M12 becomes an M16, I want all the taps and C'Bores to a

Ah, that may be the key. (I do not use solidworks).

I have had an incorrect CAD model from them. (Which they fixed when I brought it to their notice). Once burned, twice shy.
