While the face blocking of a Hololens would be a nonstarter for this role, as a high school level teacher I think an AR toolset for instructors could be extremely useful.

For instance, it’s always more efficient to intervene/support a student in the moment they are having trouble/ready for the next idea, but there’s a natural limit to how much information about a class full of students is available/understandable; better tools for allowing me to know how my students are engaging/progressing/struggling/succeeding while they do the work would be wonderful.

> contribute to it's defence

What defense? Against whom? When was the last time the United States had to defend itself against invaders?

We've grown accustomed to how military technology (for killing people) is called "defense". It sounds benign. It feels better to work on advancing "defense" technology than on building tools to kill people.

Pretty much all "Defense" technology after WWII has only been used to invade and occupy other countries (by means of killing people).

Your comparing cash to something electronic. No matter how you spin it Bitcoin is not physical. It’s more akin to cash in a bank account. Cash is in my hand, Bitcoin is virtual.

Kaggle Micro Course on Machine Learning Explainability
Posting as an author, happy to answer any questions here.
This is a fun question, and as an occasional user of MODIS products, I've asked it (to myself) also. Although I've never asked anyone on the MODIS team, who I see from time to time.

I have always supposed that they wanted to leave the door open for actual high (spatial) resolution observations in the future. The driving design requirement was for global coverage every two days, so this meant a wide field of view of the downward-looking optics (2200 km wide FOV) which in turn meant "moderate" spatial resolution.

It was designed in the early 1990s. If you look at the original MODIS design papers (e.g., The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) Science and Data System Requirements, IEEE TGARS, Jan. 1991), you read the design was inspired by instruments like AVHRR and HIRS. The "VHR" in AVHRR stands for "Very High Resolution" and it was 1km! And the H in HIRS stands for High-resolution and it was > 1km, as much as 10km (!!). So calling it "Moderate" seems like a corrective message to the community.

Why would you need more? Many of the MODIS products are 1000m X 1000m, which is too coarse for many "field-scale" applications, where you want to get down to the health of individual fields of crops, or mixed suburban/rural areas, or biomes where vegetation types are mixed at local scales.

For instance, transpiration from broad-leafed trees is very different from grasses, and "mixed pixels" of these two types can confuse models. Or scattered parking lots at the fringe of suburban areas impinging on vegetation.
Be careful and speak with a layer first.

In my country (Slovenia), you would still be found in breach of the court order.

If court orders you not to reveal a certain item, and then you go and reveal it[1], at least here details of how you revealed it do not matter.

If you set up things in a way that you have to lie in order to comply with court order, that's your problem and not courts. Court will not compel you to lie. It will punish you for breaking a court order.

And that fact that you did it in advance in anticipation of such order, would only make matters worse for yourself. (willful disregard, or however it's translated)

[1]: Setting up a canary and then not updating it, is revealing it. Just because you went through convoluted means to do so, its the results that courts care about.

Plants don't really get better at fixing nitrogen. They get better at hosting symbiotic colonies of nitrogen-fixing microbes in their root systems.

It's splitting a hair, to be sure, but developing root nodules for hosting a nitrogen-fixer species is a lot easier than evolving all the biochemical precursors from scratch. Nitrogen fixation symbiosis may have evolved independently in plants at least three times. It would have been a big advantage from 460 to 380 Mya and then again, to a far lesser extent, from 240 to 160 Mya. Teredo shipworms also employ nitrogen-fixing symbionts, in their gill structures, as well as some termites, in their guts, but the latter only derive benefit in an extremely low-nitrogen environment.

Since atmospheric CO2 has dropped after the last peaks, some plant species failed to preserve that symbiosis. They would have an easier time getting it back, now that CO2 partial pressure is rising back to levels experienced in prior geological eras.

The ultimate bottleneck is likely to be iron or magnesium.

Then you are effectively trusting a third party to make it right when you have been wronged. Isn't this contradictory to the promise of blockchains: That trusting a third party is not required??

Taking this further, you are saying that the data on a blockchain cannot be trusted because the transactions might be reversed due to outside action. Honest question: How does this fit into the concept of a blockchain?

I wonder how much of it is really bias or people perceiving bias. I know people who think that if they read something negative about a political figure they like then the person and publication who wrote it are automatically biased in favor of the other side.

It also seems like it might be hard to write about certain political stories without being accused of bias. Is it possible to write anything about the shutdown and border wall fiasco that doesn't paint he President and GOP in a bad light? Wont many people incorrectly perceive that as biased reporting?

I don't mean to imply that there isn't actual bias but it just seems like a strange thing to bring up at a time when certain political figures are acting in such extreme ways. Simply reporting on those actions and their consequences if often going to be very negative.

>If you have to rely on and/or beholden to legal action, then BTC doesn't really provide trust at all...

Yep. Gotta agree with Jayd16 here, if you still need law enforcement, (ie - government), then bitcoin is not useful for operating without trust. The breathless hype about bitcoin was not just the technology level "distributed ledger" thing, but also the idea that you could do things independent of the system. If you still need the system to make it all work, then it definitely fails on the latter hype point.

...because plants that are overheated can't grow. Depending on how overheated they get they may merely become stressed, or they can die. But plants also need temperatures, particularly soil temperatures, that rise above some minimum before they germinate. So you need a period when the soil temperature is high enough, but the air temp is not too high. Figuring out the length of that window is very complicated.

Corn, for instance, can't grow when the temp is over 104 or so (depending on cultivar) and dies when exposed to temps over 110 or so. It maximizes its growth rate at around 86 degrees.

So: if you have a summer month when temps are regularly over 104, that's not really a growing season for corn. Thus you have to try to plant earlier and harvest earlier, and the window when you can do that successfully may be considerable shorter than it would if the temp stayed below 104 during the summer.

So then you try to go closer to the poles. But -- depending on temperatures and a lot of other factors -- that may not be a totally satisfying solution either. Corn needs specific amounts of rain, which may or may not coincide with periods when the temperatures are good. It also needs large amounts of soil nitrogen, which may or may not be present in arctic soils, and if the plant doesn't have it growth is slowed. Corn also needs the soil temperature to be relatively high to germinate (above 50 degrees, again depending somewhat on cultivar). In arctic soils, it may take a while for the soil to warm up that much in the spring, and that may reduce your growing season. So how all the factors play out, and whether those factors result in a longer or shorter growing season, are intimately connected to exactly how the climate changes.

I've used corn as an example, but of course other crops and wild plants all rely on complicated, interconnected conditions to thrive. The specifics are a bit different for every plant.

It all depends. There are a lot of factors that we won't really know until people start trying to do it.

I've come across this concept before. I think it might have been another post on the same site where they talk about direct mechanical use of hydro-power which made me look further into it.

Sure, but think of how porous this could be even with HTTPS-- it doesn't have to be a google admin grepping inbound traffic. It could be happening with a custom installed certificate for a workplace or university network or it could be happening with a third party service or API behind HTTPS termination. Even something trivial like analytics could potentially leak this info. Malware is certainly a possibility, but it could just as easily have been phished or grabbed with an XSS.
ELI5: how will melting ice caps cause rising sea levels? Ice has higher volume than water it's made of, so the effect of ice melting should be sea level falling. At least that's the case of Arctic Sea, which is just this: frozen sea. Antarctic is different, because most of the ice is located on land, above the sea level. But then, shouldn't northern cap melting cancel out melting of the south one?

> It allows you to punish them by returning the late item only to go buy it from a competitor.

They know most people won't do that most of the time because that increases the inconvenience they've already suffered from the late package. The guarantee should benefit me, not increase the damage I've suffered from the late package.

> The $100 pays for the "2-day delivery in most cases" shipping service.

I don't get 2-day delivery in most cases. They fail to deliver within that window more than half the time.

> If it's worth that much as-offered then they don't need to let you keep the item for free on top of that.

I'm not suggesting that I get to keep the item for free. I'm saying that I should get a partial refund on the shipping when I pay extra for guaranteed 2-day shipping and the item takes more than 2 days to arrive.
Of course currently only TI can make these (though no doubt everyone else is going to make a real effort to replicate).

Venmo isn't exactly like cash. For example, my brother showed me that my transaction history was public by default (it hadn't even occurred to me that this was a conceivable design choice) and my brother was able to see who I had recently shared money with and in what amounts. Even if you know to disable that setting, that only prevents random people from seeing your transaction history, while Venmo and legal authorities still have easy access to it. Cash is nice because there is no history to it. It's private and anonymous.

Or the fact that in pull based financial systems like the US, someone who got your debit card number when buying a coffee can charge you again in the future, so you need to be eternally vigilant with your statements.

To me, cryptocurrency is a breath of fresh air in these regards. It's a predictable system to plan around.

Why the Myth of the “Savage Indian” Persists
Your bank takes the loss on those stolen funds.

Bitcoin is more akin to cash in hand than cash in a bank account, the title of the white paper is a 'A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System'.

It behaves like cash.
Apparently it runs fast enough to be programmed interactively. Keyboard input via mechanical linkages is a solved problem: consider the humble typewriter. The Selectric typewriter even had macroscopic digital mechanical "circuitry"; each keypress moved a lever with lugs that encoded a binary code specifying coordinates for where on the typeball the character was located, and special linkages called whiffletrees converted the digital code into analog rotations for the typeball mechanism in the manner of an R-2R ladder or similar in the electronic realm.

The idea is that the CPU and peripherals would communicate via mechanical linkage (say, levers moved, or not moved, according to whether the signal is "high" or "low") rather than electronic voltage levels on a wire. For some peripherals, electromechanical adapters could be built that use relays to convert electronic signals to mechanical ones and back, allowing you to theoretically even plug in standard PC keyboards and displays into such a mechanical computer.
West Village Tech Check
Yes, my thought was to use the windmill to run the heat pump, then buffer the heat as hot water in an insulated tank to heat the house. Not really practical unless you live in a place with fairly regular wind in the winter. Where I live, winter air tends to be fairly still with occasional exceptions and I could be wrong but I doubt it would be a great way to heat the house.

Same with solar, in the dead of winter the sun is at quite a low angle in the sky, not even above the tree tops, and I doubt there's much to be gained either from photovoltaic solar or using it to directly heat water for the house.
I think the difference is the police officially recognize one currency and do not officially recognize the other. The U.S. dollar is backed by the full faith and trust of the U.S. government. A cryptocurrency's value is backed by the amount of other fiat currencies pumped into it. If in the future, an authority figure (say, the President of the United States) created a cryptocurrency and ordered the FBI to prioritize cybercrimes relevant to that currency and drop investigations for others, you'd be in a bad place if somebody in a different state stole your money. He/she could never do that with the U.S. dollar, since manipulating that infringes on his/her literal ability to order people around.
This is a great concept. May need some tweaks to make it completely mobile as most people are recording all activities on that. I would sign up with a social media trainer to see all the things they offer and make sure they are part of the basic model.
Those barriers are likely due to money laundering laws and whoever is accepting the bitcoin is (probably) breaking the law when they convert to USD or other currencies. So you're right that it's not necessarily illegal purchases so much as illegal transactions.

You can break the cryptocurrency usage into 4 main groups: Speculators, Lawbreakers, Libertarian types, and Techies. Otherwise, the financial system provides cheaper or more convenient options for payment.
I can appreciate the idea, but this attitude is why bullshit pervades.

If a person or group consistently advances bullshit, it eventually becomes a useful heuristic to dismiss that person's or group's ideas without consideration.

It takes more energy to argue against the bullshit than it does to advance it in the first place, so insisting on that argument hurts dialogue more than it helps.

It's not.

It's the same logic where cryptocurrency advocates say that if a country's currency goes down the crapper then the people can use bitcoin, and the country can't break that! But why can't they just use dollars, or euros, instead? Because the local government would make that illegal! Why wouldn't they make bitcoin use illegal? Because... because... shut up!
