You can register both second (example.name) and third (first.last.name) level .name domains. However, once a third level name is registered, they reserve the parent second level domain. ICANN is involved because Verisign is the registry ope

Would using the ILS without the local altimeter actually be a safe way to land the plane? (Ignoring whether or not ATC is allowed to give you clearance for that.) Is the requirement of a local altimeter just overly cautious?

The key difference seems to be German private health insurance contracts are long-term affairs. Multi-year, or perhaps even lifetime? US health insurance contracts are typically a year at a time. So German companies have to reserve for cost

It mentions reduced spending on doctors. My thinking on the mechanism is that freeing doctors from noncompetes makes it easier for them to leave big practices and start small ones. Small practices have less bargaining power with insurance c

Doesn't make intuitive sense to me why you'd need a whole new airplane for this. Can you not rig something up to let one of these blades ride on top of an existing plane like the space shuttle transporter? Or would Sergey Brin&#x2

I was curious on some of the details, so I did a little digging. The town in question (Salisbury, MA) is built on a narrow strip of land between a marsh and the ocean. Mostly between 2 and 5 houses wide. Doesn't seem like you need a ge

Contractors pay self employment taxes in lieu of the social security and Medicare payroll tax, and as a result are eligible for both. The health insurance situation is not great, but it's available through Obamacare. In my experience t

I think what this work does is establish a new, and lower, upper bound on the number of points that need to be explored in order to find an exact solution. From some of your other replies it looks to me like you're confusing that with

Yeah, the discretization interacts with the oscillation for sure. Full implicit is better than CN with regards to oscillation for instance, but I don't think would be a net win. Running a few implicit steps before switching to CN might

Is that method extensible to discrete dividends?

Crank-Nicolson is probably the least objectionable part of the method, but I prefer ADE. There are two numerically painful parts of the problem: the advection term and the oscillation inducing terminal condition (because it has a discontiuo

This method will work but will require a large grid and consequently be quite slow. And order of magnitude or two faster than this is possible if you are clever.

If you are genuinely in the market for multiple racks of servers you (a) know how much a rack of hp/dell gear costs, which gets you within an order of magnitude of what this is going to cost, and (b) would not buy one of these without
