The Qattara Depression in Egypt should probably get dug to the sea first. It's significantly deeper, which would allow you to generate significant amounts of hydroelectric power by flooding the depression.

VRV.co does this for a number of online streaming services that have their own apps and content. The cost is much lower than subscribing to each service on its own.

The value-add is convenience in having a single app to deal with on multiple devices, a single login to deal with, a single payment that is fairly cheap when compared to everything individually.
My solution:

1. Use a grill with wide slats instead of round steel bars
2. Run the grill on high for ten minutes after cooking to burn everything to a fine ash
3. Use grill mats when possible so I don't have to clean the grill to begin with

I just use damp paper towels to clean up the grill before I use it since I burn everything off after the previous cook session.

It's always based on customers' willingness to pay, that's how capitalism works. It's just that the competition will make customers less willing to pay more.
There aren't all that many people of European decent that are living in the coldest parts of the Americas. At least that's what I noticed when visiting the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Unless you're talking about somewhere farther south? I know the Huron who were based around present day Toronto were almost strictly farmers.
For YouTube, YouTube Red has been wonderful. No ads at all. At least they have the option.
How are these things not banned? If something is sold for casual private use that predictably leads to hundreds of people having metal barbs stuck in their throat every year, and if the procedure to extract those barbs is sufficiently difficult that it has become recognised as a national problem among surgeons, then there seems to be pretty good grounds for banning it. As this thread attests, there are plenty of alternatives.

Infinity and moreover a hierarchy of infinities is very real and has real consequences. You want your Fourier transform to work, you have to quantify infinities (this was in fact what prompted development of set theory: how to make Fourier analysis precise).

Supertasks are real too. If you take Turing machine something like the lamplighter group pops up at the other end and you have no way to handwave that away.

Unless of course you subscribe to Fictionalism as your philosophy of mathematics, in which case stuff still has consequences just your epistemological stance changes from studying them in favour to some kind of mysticism that absolves you from the effort.
So now you are comparing global mediums of exchange to fruit? Before you go too far maybe consider why we have FinCEN, FDIC, FTC, SEC, etc.
I don't consider them refugees. You were the one setting the bar at what South American refugees can achieve. Which taken at face value would imply you considered anyone who could not afford to move worse off than a South American refugee.

However I consider your claim that 99.9% of Americans can afford to move to a neighboring state highly suspect. I am awaiting a source for that, even a news article.
Thanks. Hope it works well and the user base is there. I was looking for something like this for https://2fb.me ever since criticue.com went down
That isn't the way EE's are trained in my experience. When new hardware is designed that is outside the EE's experience there is usually an evaluation board available from the manufacturer. They get one of those in house, read the application notes and data sheets, and use their test equipment to observe the 'proper' signal levels and waveforms on a correctly implemented system.

Then they add this part to their design, and lay out the schematic and the printed circuit board according to best practices by the manufacturer. Once the first boards return they put measure the signal levels and waveforms in their circuit to verify they are with the specifications and that they match the ones on the eval board. Then they will 'corner' test the circuit (corners are low/hi temperature range, low and high voltage range) and verify it continues to work according to specification at all the 'corners' (if it does then you are generally ok with assuming it will work at all points "inside" those for corners.)

There are people who are either in a hurry or don't care who wire something up according to the application note, power it up once and call it 'good'. I've seen a number of cost reduced 'clone' equivalents that meet that description. @kens has done a number of blog posts that show this sort of mentality in detail.
I agree with your position when taking a global scope. When looking at it in the narrow scope of the OP's position and goals, I don't see any benefit for them.

The term you're looking for is "brand". Measuring a brand's value is much more difficult than measuring sales, but it's not something new that no company do.
Is there a list of software that search engines won't autocomplete? Bing and DDG gave useful autocompletes when I searched for Kodi, XBMC (still works in Google too), bittorrent, DeCSS, popcorntime, etc.
The problem I'm arguing is that this feels like "picture of a tank". Of course you can have a system think it sees a tank if it sees a tank. The tie-dye example is a lot more interesting, but still feels like the other adversarial image fooling examples where you can perturb an image slightly and have the result change (or can see a turtle and the computer sees a gun, even in 3D).

Is the novelty in the size of the patch, since you can perturb an area of N and have an effect over an area N * M for some large M?

Edit: I missed https://adriancolyer.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/adversarial... (and the video posted by @jwilk) - the answer is "Yes, it's the small size versus the total effect".

I started something similar, but it's been gathering dust lately. FWIW, some differences were:

Graph instead of tree. I'm rather baffled by the popularity of mindmaps. Even on paper, I do cyclic graphs of typed nodes and links. So the end of text lines could optionally contain link targets, node types, and "use this link type for these children".

Outline mode for text. Mirrored in the graph.

3D graph. I'm mostly interested in using it in VR/AR.

Graph nodes with arbitrary markdown. So a node might be a markdown list. Dynamically managing outline-like "collapsed vs list vs graph vs graph-with-reduced-force" was a puzzle.

Instead of online editing, it was a development kludge of file watching and hot reload.

Motivating use case: Most project management is so constrained on time and resources, that that's what tools are build around. But I do a lot of opportunistic lazy projects (eg "when browser bug #N eventually get's fixed, we could do an exploratory spike over that way, or alternately, we could take this other path which is bottlenecked on X and Y and needs a risk mitigation exercise on Z"). Even a small project can have an order-1000 node graph. And I've never seen tooling that wasn't wretched at managing them.
Ah, sorry, wires crossed in my head. I think you were asking for information about cosmic neutrino background detectability versus astrophysical/indirect evidence, right?

On the latter: https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.5948

On direct detection: KATRIN collaboration: https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.03347

KATRIN is pretty cool. Pretty pictures of some of the apparatus: http://www.dw.com/en/the-katrin-tritium-neutrino-experiment-...

But KATRIN is to detect warm neutrinos from a known source. As noted in the collab's paper (preprint link above), detecting ambient cold neutrinos would require a different, and larger, apparatus.

We may need something much bigger even than that for direct neutrino-like cold dark matter detection. :-( So that gives you a sense of physical scale of what "low hanging fruit" might entail.

ETA: also wikipedia is reasonable on this point

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_neutrino_background?old...
What was poor about it? All my research into the case show that the prosecution was fairly above board and comprehensive. Syed had motive, means, and opportunity. There was physical evidence, a pattern of Syed lying to police and a confessing accomplice who had information the police didn't.

Real tragedy in this case how the justice system can be so easily manipulated by the media.

>Are you actually aware of what we are talking about? We are talking about filthy, greasy BBQ grills covered in baked on crap that is really hard to get off, some people use pressure washers.

When cleaned properly reasonably soon after each use is never gets to that point.

There is special equipment involved, namely special steel bristle brushes

A wire brush is not anymore specialize equipment than a shovel is.

>that deposit tiny bristles that need to be dealt with in a very specialized way as seen in commercial kitchens where they have stainless easy wipe down surfaces and huge sinks so that everything can be carefully cleaned after each service.

Things don't get cleaned carefully in a commercial kitchen. Things get cleaned as quickly as possible. Things are designed to be easy to clean so that less man hours are spent cleaning and more are spent on things that make money. There's no reason you can't clean things just as well at home. It will simply take more time and effort. That would be a big pain if you had to clean a stack of sheet pans at home but for one grill it's no big deal.

>Deep down, you know this isn't true. A knife is very well known to be sharp and is obviously a hazard. A wire brush has hidden dangers. Bristles are expected to remain attached, but unknown to many users they come off when cleaning and then even more unknown to them they get into food and can cause trauma in the body and are very hard to get removed.

If you've ever uses a wire brush regularly you know that the bristles come off as a part of normal wear.

>Erm, isn't this the same? In your examples you are describing specialist commercial equipment, and so in mine I was also.

No they're not. The dishwasher was a literal need. The well designed sinks and counters are an efficiency/profitability thing. The job can still be done without them but would require more labor.
My experience isn't the same as yours. It probably depends on your circle. For my non tech circle, I always come across as some kind of hero, which is amusing. When entering the country, even the immigration officers like to make small chat about my high tech job. But I don't mind it.

In both cases, the iterators are over the slice, so their lifetimes need to be tied together. The iterator can't live longer than the slice, or it'd be a use after free. Does that make sense?
Opioid Prescribing Guidelines: A State-By-State Overview
Not trying to dismiss your thoughts, but I never met a janitor who believed something like this. They knew perfectly well that they are easily replaceable, that their work is easy etc. It might be because of culture/location of course - Eastern Europe in my case. Also, have in mind that the hospitals I worked in are quite different from what you imagine when you say "a hospital" and especially "a clean hospital" :D. One of the reasons I switched careers and locations.

EVERY tech article about the hot new startup introduces the founders in the following way. If they previously worked at Google, Facebook, they mentioned it. They don't say "founders previously worked at Google therefore THEY'RE AMAZING". But they mention it. If they previously worked at an irrelevant company, they don't mention the company. What's implicit is that if you worked at Google that's remarkable and worth mentioning.

That is prestige by association. If you can't see it.... well, I just hope it's not because you're in denial.

EDIT: Also, VCs. It's a lot easier to get a VCs attention, or a recruiter's attention, if you say you previously worked at Google. If any of this is news to you, I don't know what else to tell you...
I'm inclined to primarily blame the general loss of consumer goods build quality over the past ~25 years.

What proportion of these brushes giving up their bristles in sufficient quantities to be on Surgeons' radars were made in China?

Growing up we had zero plastic-handled brush options. They were all well-built, wood-handled beasts and the bristles would be mutilated and disgusting prompting replacement long before they were falling out of the holder.

You can't even buy a manual can-opener that doesn't deform into a useless paperweight on first use at a big-box store anymore. Why expect their grill brushes to be any better?

Edit:
To clarify, I've seen many plastic grill brushes on shelves at stores. It has become increasingly difficult to find anything made of wood in the kitchen-related isles of stores like Wal-Mart and Target. There are obvious problems with a plastic-handled grill brush. The tendency is to heat the grill prior to brushing, which softens the plastic, loosening the grip on the bristles over time.

Nice pun there. Cockroaches do indeed have a habit of making significant strides.
In general it's always been a wise policy to wait. It's been especially wise since Apple adopted the yearly clockwork ready-or-not release schedule.

I find the best policy is to wait to upgrade until just before the next release. I'm not touching iOS11 until iOS12 is almost out, and maybe not even then.
How Companies Use Digital Doppelgangers
I feel so bad for the Kodi project. They've done amazing work over the years and their reputation is being destroyed so quickly by people taking their open source work, adding a bunch of piracy addons, and selling a set top box.

I have no idea what they can do to combat this. I don't see how they can distance themselves from this any more than they have.

Not the parent, but the US-based Financial Services company I work for also does a 3 month training scheme for their new graduate hires. Better yet, they brought all of their graduates worldwide out to the same place - so we've now got a worldwide network of people who started at the same time as us and that we've spent months with together.

Alas, due to cost (airfare and accommodation for everyone for 3 months adds up to a lot!) they've now scaled it down to just within each region rather than globally - so all of the NA graduates will train together, all the EMEA ones etc. Not quite globe-spanning as before, but still 3 months long and with people from other locations, just not all locations.

This is a strong assertion. I'd like to see a more complete argument for it. In a lot of cases what Europeans did would have been impossible without an initial spread of disease. For example, when Pizarro invaded Peru, he was preceded by a plague that upset the political order in a way that made it possible for him to insert himself into it. It's unlikely the Inca would have been as easily conquered (if at all) without that plague. Likewise, when the Plymouth colony settled in Massachusetts, they moved into the homes of recently deceased natives. Had the original natives been alive, they never would have been able to settle there. That's just a couple of examples and this whole thread is about civilizations that disappeared completely just prior to European colonization, too quickly for the Europeans to have done it through conquest.

> allowing us descendants of settlers to conveniently avoid taking responsibility for the institutionalized genocide that is at the heart of our culture.

This is a silly thing to say. European settlers obviously weren't angels, but conquest and colonization is a common thread through most civilizations worldwide, including pre-Columbian American civilizations. (Both the Inca and the Aztecs were empires after all.) The difference with European expansion was simply the scale of the process.
It is not a lottery.

They are giving random RATIOS of cryptocurrency, that add up to the amount of USD that you pay.

So if you pay 200 dollars, you could get 100$ of litecoin and 100$ of ethereum. OR you could recieve 25$ of doge + 175$ of Bitcoin. (both add up to 200$ USD. Minus their fee obviously)

That's not a lottery. It is a fixed amount of USD value.

Pretty sure the RAV4EV was sold in limited quantities, there's at least two different ones I have seen in downtown Los Altos over the past 10 years, so Toyota didn't try to destroy them all like GM did with the EV1.

Star Power: Why the World’s Largest Telescope Relies on GPUs
Cool article. Ive done alot of specialty flooring jobs in the city and have been in some amazing buildings. They forgot to mention the amount of service elevators that are required to have a operator. My favorite was 20 broadway, rockafella standard oil building. There service elevator was 100+ years old, you could maybe fit 4 people in it. You have to take 1 elevator down then walk accross a super creepy basement with random staircases that lead to arch doorways of brick, broken concrete.Really cool stuff.
The operator was a real bundle of joy too. If you juiced him, he would get you and your tools up before anybody else, ive seen this quite a few times. The floor i was working on too was intresting, it was a old lawyers office, there was an illumaniti triangle designed in the orginal concrete from 1928, and they made a big deal about not touching it the entire project (it was cracked, had holes) I ended up repairing it on one of the last days.
