Aside from the fact that it's been tried and has largely failed (see: Principality of Sealand), it isn't a workable idea for a number of technical reasons:

- an old, cheap rig may be nearing the end of (or has surpassed) its fatigue lifetime. Corrosion, subsiding into the soil, etc. are all factors too. It might be outright unsafe to occupy.

- expanding one platform into others or into an artificial island is a monumentally expensive and challenging task; it's not going to happen for some fantastical micronation project.
"The first revelation is that not only was Greece bankrupt in 2010 when the EU bailed it out, and that the bailout was designed to save the French and German banks, but that Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy knew this; and they knew it would be a disaster."

The treasury departments of the French and German banks had loaded up on GGBs - Greek Govt Bonds because they yielded more basis points than eg German Govt bonds, but also had AAA rating. The AAA was culpable negligence by Moodys, S&P, Fitch rating agencies. Ignoring the credit quality implication of the discount built into the market price of the GGBs was culpable negligence on the part of the treasurers at the French and German banks. Yes, the Greek Govt was culpable too. But the Greek people are bearing years of economic pain while the French and German banks and the ratings agencies have got off scot free because Merkel & Schauble put the fix in and parked the dodgy GGBs in the ECB.
Fair question. Easiest answer is "China is a big country" but that isn't the best answer.

Raw seafood is pretty popular in coastal areas of Shandong and Liaoning. Cold seas and pretty easy to identify as fresh or not.

Raw veg in the Northeast in general is fine depending on what it is. Spinach should be cooked because of the way its grown (nightsoil not uncommon) but peppers/radishes OK raw (hanging fruit).

Simply pragmatic food culture responses to how food is sourced, and habits of what's OK or not. A Guangzhou person is unlikely to be OK with raw crawling shrimp in a salad in Panjin, and a Panjin person complains about how seafood in Guangdong is tasteless as the sea is too hot so the seafood grows too fast (despite these conditions making it plentiful).

Well, the expensive part is to train the network. After that it should not be as expensive, depending on the size.

If that is still not enough, they can also try to look at ways of producing a "good enough" effect with a smaller network.

Then, it can also be limited to only some characters, the ones that you are more likely to pay attention to.

Now, the MS Kinect does some intense processing behind the scenes (random forests) to capture your motion in real time. Yet you can still run games with decent performance. I think a neural network to adjust animations is not too dissimilar in terms of performance cost.
Can you really hop onto whichever network you like? I thought they made that decision for you.

It's only dismissive if you think of events as having a single cause.

America's success relied, absolutely, on African slavery and on the removing the indigenous populations that were in its way. There are many other countries that engaged in slavery and population removal that didn't succeed to the extent America did, yes; you are correct. But there are also many other countries that simply had Enlightenment ideals and a democracy and didn't succeed to the extent America did, and many more that simply had thoughtful, hard work and didn't succeed at all.

Something probably produces a similar amount of CO2 indirectly if the same mass is produced/moved. The only benefit of electric is the 80% efficiency of the motor. Wind and solar is not producing more energy than it requires to be built. If you sum up all the energy required to build and power a tesla, from the fuel of the mining equipment for lithium, aluminium and steel etc, to the person driving the drills cats food, everything is net negative. The only energy added to the planet is sun rays, the only way this energy is stored is through photosynthesis, we have consumed millions of years of sunshine in 200 years. At the current rate we only have 50 years of fission material left. The only viable solution is to lower your standard of living willingly, before you are forced to. In this case that means buying a bike (non-electric if you live in the city) and working from home. Both of these are actually improvements of standards, but you could also live smaller and eat less.
If you're going a speeds significantly above what most cyclists are doing you should be bound by more regulations than cyclists and you probably should stick to the roads and not be allowed to use bike paths.

Your comment has made me think about putting an LCD display on this. Like you say, with it being an Arduino, it's just a matter of wiring up a 16x2 LCD display and using the inbuilt library. Nothing too tricky there.

In fact, the hardest bit is just designing a 3D printed case for it but that will only take an afternoon. I will look at adding this to the crowdfunding as a stretch goal.
If you want to see where this comes from, I'd recommend reading a Teddy Roosevelt biography (e.g. Morris).

He became one of the first powerful conservationists because he saw, in just a few decades, the impact that development was having on the West.

Inside almost every hunter or fisherman, there's a desire to see someone else enjoy it as much as you. And that can't happen if one leaves the land poorer after they use it.
You've got like 3 features, and a list of names with values for each one of those features. You could literally do

and you're done.

Why would you want a computer to come up with color names anyway? They're identifiers, so you want them to be consistent. What if it comes up with names like Piss or Ennui? Why go through that trouble?
A couple of oil rigs recently sailed past my office a few months ago. On a small break in the park grounds checking how the magpie nest was doing with some colleagues we saw them sneak past.

We were all surprised how fast they went. Not fast fast, but in the space of 10 minutes, or so, could clear several hundred meters; the visual comprehension that something we know can move but should not, is. A contradiction of logic and intuition.
It's my understanding that you could use emulation as well in some development environments. That would forgo all hardware/cables/kits, etc.
Agreed, they shouldn't be asking them to go in a work capacity. I misunderstood your objection as them not having a right to ask their employees to remove data before personal travel.
It's always easier to identify the bad then it is to identify the good. Especially if you're coming at this from a specific perspective "This company sucks!", then you're bound to find something that doesn't strike you as excellent.

At my current company, I do not get any 401k matching, and it sucks. However, the company fully covers medical insurance for each employee and their ENTIRE family. My copay's are more then fair, and unless I end up in an emergency and I'm rushed to a hospital that's out network and it turns out that it wasn't an emergency, I have no other costs. Being married, I save thousands a year in my paycheck by not having to cover any of my insurance. Compared to the cost of my previous job, the difference is enough to fully fund my IRA which is roughly equivalent to a 4% match in my 401k which is the best any company has offered me to date. So in the end, I lost an employee match, but save $6k a year in medical insurance for my family.

It's a balance, and I can understand why people would be upset to "only" see six weeks of Paternal leave, but when you look at their entire portfolio of perks, it's amazing. It is among the best. Can they do better? Sure. Should people flay them for two sticking points? Absolutely not.
I love the idea of eBikes. I bike commute on a conventional city bike, 5mi each way, every day. I wouldn't mind a boost when there's a headwind or I'm tired. And I would like the help to make a 10 mile trip more practical.

But the price! I looked at some eBikes, and they were often around 4k. That's almost twice as much as a good quality gasoline moped/scooter like the Honda Metropolitan. So it's a tough value proposition to make.

You may be underestimating the effect of regenerative braking. My Leaf has about a 60 kw output, of which 30 kw maximum can be regenerated by the braking system. That's 30 kw that doesn't have to be dissipated on the friction brakes.

On some EVs, you can slow and even stop entirely using the electric brake, circumventing the brake pads entirely.

Border Guard was very angry at me for some reason, very cold, didn't smile. Quite curt with his responses. Which was strange because he was laughing and joking with the couple before me in the queue.

He took particular umbrage with the fact that I'd ticked "Business" on my customs form, as I wasn't sure what else to tick - I was attending the conference on behalf of my employer who had paid for my trip.

In the UK and Ireland the big supermarket chains do deliveries for cheap (7.50 euro per month from Tesco, for instance, or a few euro per shot if you pay as you go).

Trump is not that much worse than Obama, it's mostly the media, politicians, people in power that are able to convince you of that. Remember, Obama droppee 26,000 bombs on Muslims last year, but I bet you'd never heard about a single one.

Climate Change is mostly about politics, just like the War on Poverty and War on Drugs. Yes it's real, just like people have real problems with poverty and drugs, but people starve and suffer in 2017 because of greed, which leads to politics, not because of resources. Climate Change will likely worsen the resource situation, but it's not actually the real problem with humanity. We need to get over our little egos and figure out how to get off this earth and keep exploring.

That reminds me of my mom, always calling it decaf. There is a difference between decaffinated and caffeine free or non-caffeinated. Coke can be non-caffeinated, meaning that it can be made without adding caffeine. Decaffinated implies that there was caffeine present at some time, but was taken out (like coffee).

I'm not sure if that's true, but if it is then electric cars will definitely reduce the problem. They use regenerative braking for a large percentage of their braking power, which means that the brake pads are used much less.

Context is important because the number of true facts we can spout about the economy of Kansas is legion and its highly likely a propaganda shop has cherry picked the ones they deliver.

Sadly, OPs linked claims don't tell us anything about Kansas' performance under these tax cuts which is really what matters since the point of the tax cuts was to supercharge growth. Did that happen? I'm going to say no:

Curious question. About half of states have voted a constitutional amendment specifically calling out a right to hunt and fish.

Presumably because this is the desktop package of .NET runtime? WPF is the GPU-accelerated GUI rendering library, it makes sense that it would have a DirectX dependency. AFAIK it has always had a DirectX dependency, just one that was met by the base install on versions of windows that were supported. I think this is just the first time a .NET upgrade has required/offered upgrading to a newer version of DirectX, instead of just raising the minimum windows version.

Server/embedded/etc headless environments presumably want .NET Core instead, which added most of these updates in version 1.1 a few months back (along with VS 2017).

Fruit and vegetables seem to be weirdly expensive in the US, for some reason; meat and processed foods are much cheaper than they are in Western Europe, though. It makes sense that meat would be cheaper (considerably different and mostly lighter regulation on animal husbandry and slaughter, plus the whole corn subsidy thing) but the expensive vegetables never made sense to me.
I'm disappointed American Airlines don't buy all Boeing planes, especially given their name. Although Airbus planes do have some American parts on them, they're mostly European. Considering they got USD$15 Billion in bailout money from the US Government, and just how good Boeing planes are at a very similar price point, supporting manufacturing in their country of origin seems like the right thing to do.
Why?

We already have large speed differences on (bidirectional!) shared paths and it works out just fine. We have kids and elderly walking at 5 kph, same kids and elderly cycling at 15 kph, and more fit adult cyclists going anywhere between that and >30 kph. Other people stand still. Dogs can be problematic but overall I think it really does work just fine, and I don't think anybody needs to fear for their life. We can adjust our speed.

If anything, forcing cyclists on the roads results in even larger differences in speed. But also mass, and awareness.
Sorry, but the ADAC had excellent reviews for the Skoda models that we considered and good reviews for the Seats. I'd rather take their word than hearsay. Again, these models were cheaper than similar Japanese models, that we had also looked at.

Admittedly, we haven't looked much at Korean models. That's mostly because my wife (I don't have a driver's license) had no experience and consequently no opinion about them.

At any rate, we ended up buying a Skoda ;). And I see Porsches here nearly every day :p.

When I read "the US is the only nation currently with the clout to really push to change this", I don't interpret that to mean the US is/would be more sensible about protecting fisheries. It sounds to me like smallnamespace is proposing that there's a coordination problem--tragedy of the commons/prisoners dilemma, I would assume--and you need one big pushy guy to insist we all follow sensible rules.

You don't need an especially socially responsible or forward-thinking entity to solve coordination problems. You just need one that's able to push hard enough to make everyone fall in line.

Something like the UN/WTO would ideally serve that purpose, but seems like no one wants to give them much clout. I assume the big people prefer to keep the clout in their complete control and the small guys know the big guys would still have stuff like permanent seats and veto power.
