To expand a little, most container ships use bunker crude, which is borderline sludge. It even needs to be heated before being pumped out. But it's cheap and at the size, pressure, and speeds these engines run at they…
Well of course you're getting a speed difference, look at how much extra work you're doing in the std::string code! The char[64]s are allocated once but you reallocate the std::strings every time. By pulling the…
Carrier attack groups have a refueling ship along with all the cruisers/attack ships. It probably makes sense, just going by the size differences the carrier would use more conventional fuel than all of its escorts…
You're right, the period was "hand picked", but that's because I was looking at a 5 year graph with the high and low marked, and just used those numbers. The movement before/after 2008 wasn't the 40 percentage points…
The second point is actually a point for hedge funds. The S&P 500 went from a high of 1576 near the end of 2007, to a low of 666 in the beginning of 2009 (October 07 to March 2009, specifically). Commodities had similar…
While the other answers about Sabre are probably right, I've heard that banks intentionally have stupid password policies to prevent password reuse. If one bank says "no special characters but most contain a number",…
When this originally came up people were saying that, they use it as a reminder to keep using the site. But you can get the same benefit using a login link or something, no need for all the security issues.
You completely missed his point about the difference between non-public information and new analysis on public information. Anyone can go and count the number of cars in a WalMart parking lot. This is new analysis on…
There's also what's called prepayment risk (or in this scenario I guess late-payment risk, but they're 2 sides of the same coin). For prepayment risk, essentially an investor thinks "OK, I put a lot of effort into this…
There's 2 reasons on top of the generic problems with vertical integration, at least that I know of. First, once an independent dealership opens, they're gonna forever be afraid that the manufacturer is going to cut off…
Turbulent flow would increase the overall drag in this situation. You're essentially taking energy from the free-flowing middle of the pipe and using it to drag more air along the wall. The reason why turbulence helps a…
+ has problems as string concatenation, but that doesn't make & a good choice. We still use a lot of C-ism's because people are used to them, and any deviations from C-like behavior, which at this point could be called…
No, it's not, that's the point. Unless you find some way to fly without creating pressure differentials, a plane with wings that are miles wide, or a usable description of airflow transitioning from subsonic to…
Interesting tidbit: -40 Celsius is the exact same temperature as -40 Fahrenheit. Nitpick: If you have a diesel, your car will not start at all if the engine is cold, but if you have a diesel and live anywhere where…
Not quite, the cost of RSA encryption is O(k^3), where k is the total number of bits, not the number of 1's. But it is cheaper to have less 1 bits, as (abusing big-O notation), the cost is more like O(3k^3-z^3), where z…
How does converting energy into mass make it "colder"? If you have 1 protons worth of energy in a volume, and you have 1 nonmoving proton in another area with the same volume, isn't there the same amount of energy in…
Yeah, the plane trip wasn't meant as an example of where schools make extra money, just an example of how donors contribute that may or may not show up in the revenue. If they donated their private jet, they also…
I was gonna write something about how matlab isn't really that bad. And then I thought about how it's impossible to do anything with strings, y(0)=1; gives an error, variables from inside a function aren't stored in the…
