My work around for this is to take a walk without headphones. For me, it means that the only thing I can do is think (can't read, can't watch video, etc). And by the time I've finished a 30 mins walk, I've usually got a…
For those that don't know: Concentrated sugar solutions are indeed hydroscopic. So it will indeed absorb water out of the atmosphere. It's still doubtful that it will do it fast enough to create any significant pressure…
No, because glass isn't a crystal. This is part of why it was such a hard problem: Because the existing sub-molecule imaging techniques couldn't image it.
What's the difference between N and N+ ? As far as I can tell, N+ just means a higher doping concentration? But it seems very fuzzy as to what 'higher' means?
This is much harder than you're assuming. With the increasing prevalence of TLS traffic (https et al), any cache almost certainly needs to be an explicitly configured proxy which is a user configuration issue with all…
Not quite: Truetime has guarantees about ordering, rather than accuracy. If you ask for the time and get A, and then ask for the time again and get B, then Truetime guarantees that A is less than B. Obviously, in a…
You're right. My bad. It's much less common than I'd thought. (Intel had it on a number of chips that included the Iron Pro Graphics across Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake etc)
L3 is almost never SRAM, it's usually eDRAM and clocked significantly lower than L1 or L2. (SRAM is prohibitively expensive to do at scale due to die area required). Edit: Nope, I'm wrong. It's pretty much only Power…
There's a couple of key things here: 1. The sheer volume of fraud attempts. Economics often dictate that it needs to be cheap and fast to reject a fraud attempt. 2. Information leakage. It's normal to see people…
It's never that simple. You're implicitly assuming that a fraudster wants the account long term, which is rarely true. And identity is a VERY complex area, and nothing like as simple as "plenty of ways to verify…
It's rare, but possible. Known of v high level example that is just incredibly disciplined about how they spend their time (e.g. "I did this, but was slowed significantly by poor code over that. Estimate about 30% time…
Google has an office in Frankfurt, and SWEs there get paid far more than 30k - 100k/yr. The comp delta between google SF SWE and google Frankfurt SWE is less than 30% (at same level obv). I totally agree that the…
This is a situation where automation has the advantage. With detailed position information and detailed maps, the fact that the lines on the street can't be seen is irrelevant. The car didn't need them anyway. (noting…
I had a quick read. The paper states in the conclusion "The more we increase the number of iterations k, the more proportion decreases, but the number of integers starting the different trajectories keeps increasing and…
The F50 sailing class used in SailGP can remain foiling during jibes in winds as light as 8 knots. That is, the boat always sees an apparent headwind during the entire downwind run.
Amusingly, it's still referred to as jibing[1], even though the apparent wind remains a headwind. This is important because sailing has right-of-way rules that are written in terms of the true wind, not the apparent…
No, that's exactly the point. Knowing the center of mass and the moment of inertia is sufficient: You don't know need to know the exact shape, or the variations in density inside the object etc etc.
It's not quite true that advertising is a zero-sum game. There are economic benefits from increased competition, and from improvements in presented choice. It is definitely true that the economic benefits don't accrue…
Do you know what theory that might be? The difficulty in producing a black hole is getting the energy density high enough. We have no known mechanism to get an energy density that's even close the right order of…
What happened is what typically happens: Concentration of expertise. The lower expertise jobs (just mechanically play what someone else wrote/arranged) went away and there was increased demand for higher expertise (be…
That's not really how it's done. RS is normally used as erasure code: It's used when writing (to compute code blocks), and when reading _only when data is missing_. Checksums are used to detect corrupt data, which is…
This point is that the periapsis is still subject to strong atmospheric drag. And while secondary debris clouds at might higher altitude is theoretically possible, it's vanishingly unlikely due to the vastly lower…
It's easy: Just make it illegal, and put make it incumbent on starlink to enforce it. Violations are met with (eg) sanctions on Tesla and other related parties. This has played out many, many times in history and it's…
Yes. Fat is generally non-polar molecules so has a different solubility profile. This in turn may significantly change absorption, and the location of absorption (stomach v small intensive v large intestine etc).
Yes, they would spend it even if they were on the right side of the law. This is an interesting example of a prisoners dilemma. If N companies are competing without lobbying, their lobbying costs are zero. But if one…
