Agreed, but if you REALLY wanted to be sure, you could always put a large sheet of aluminum just above the bottom layer.

As someone who grew up in Florida, I would never want to live live anywhere near the beach, and frankly, I never had much sympathy for those who lost their beachfront houses to hurricanes, especially when they rebuilt them in the same sp

If what I have heard is correct, it is because some resumes scanning softwares have trouble with PDFs. They often default to asking for Word because they know it works.

It's definitely very important to realize that Spanish-speaking countries, while nominally speaking the same language, are very different. Spain has an entire verb tense that is not in Mexican Spanish. And unconfirmed example I have he

The problem is with "pure" H2O. Water is REALLY good at dissolving things, which it does better if nothing is already dissolved in it. The warnings I have received Are the drinking completely pure water will leach minerals out of

Injection molds need to be ridiculously precise, as in 1/1000 of an inch of can render it useless. Also, I have doubts that the layered result of 3-D printing can hold up to the extreme abuse these things get put through after tens or

Agreed. The ethical implications of this also need to be considered. As much as I hate the "think of the starving children in ___" trope, artificially increasing your matabolism is increasing the amount of calories humanity needs

I would think next would be including general reletivity in miles per gallon calculations on cars, or adding the mass gained from moving at highway speeds when finding desired tire pressure. It's always fun to throw those in just to co

While a "better driver experience"is difficult to quantify, if you mean ease-of-use an automatic transmission is objectively better. Sure, you can argue that having a stick shift provides a subjectively more enjoyable experience,

The main one I have heard is empathy, but also a drop in selflessness (as in valuing your own discomfort over the potential life inside of you), and commitment (I have heard it linked multiple times to be increase in divorce rates, aka comm

Agreed which is why the issue gets so complicated. Drawing moral lines is tricky. I can't think of anyone I have met who has argued that an abortion 24 hours before the birth would occur naturally is morally acceptable. It will be inte

Or even "method for submitting a patent application over the Internet!" If you actually managed to get it, that might actually be stupid enough to get some legislation passed. At minimum it would halt patent applications for a whi

My roommates in college were in ROTC and they were always looking for things to fill that gap. I don't think they ever broke anything, but if I remember correctly they managed to get a popcorn machine.

Not only was it the side of the prison, but students were actually TAUGHT in a former prison for a while in 1910 until a school could be built.

Yeah, that's one of the difficulties. That's probably why the Guinsu knives people ended up having those demonstrations where they cut bricks, metal, etc., to capture the customer's attention quickly. I would not personally g

I'm not the person you're asking, but I certainly think so. The strategy of: 1 identify a problem with existing products (try to make the audience go "oh yeah, I hate that"). 2 explaining how your product solves this pro

People need to realize that intellectual-property not a right, it is an exception to the right of freedom of speech. Too many people in power seem to have forgotten/chosen to ignore that.

Someone used to live in Florida, and went to the parks there on vacation just last year, I can confirm that even with 3rd party wait time optimization tools (yes, they exist and they are awesome, I never go without using them beforehand) it

I have thought about this a fair bit, and it seems like the only real way to completely eliminate such risk would be a benevolent AI overlord, as the problem you mentioned is rooted in human nature. Realistically though, high transparency a

An allergy test can be as simple as a doctor dipping a small plastic spike in some concentrated allergen, then poking you (lightly, not enough to break the skin, just enough to leave a mark that will fade in a few hours) with both that and

The absolutely dreadful launch of Assassins Creed: Unity probably did not help. Consumer confidence was dropping fast, having a refund option encourages trying new things and takes some of the risk out of AAA pre-orders.

That is part of why I prefer tidal power. It is predictable, and because water is so much thicker than air you can get more energy than from wind turbines. They can even be integrated into hurricane protection measures (I forget The specifi

I believe he is referencing the fact that a few years back the US armed a militant group that later became ISIL, as at that point they were fighting regimes the US was against. It's a big part of why calls to "arm the anti-ISIL re

Agreed, it could be argued that those who drive below the speed limit do more damage than most terrorists due to lost productivity and pollution.

I have alway thought "converting users to our brand" sounds suspiciously like "converting people to our religion/cult" just say you want loyal customers, not "devoted followers."

Or better yet, build islands around it so they have no access. (Of course I am just joking here)

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. A few lazy/greedy people in the wrong place who don't think long term can do a lot of unintentional damage.

I know this happens with most state lotteries. I can specifically confirm that the one in Florida was supposed to be for education, but like you said, the budget was cut by an equal amount a couple of years later. The sad part is the "

Would it also make stress calculation (for structural collapse) much easier? I have been wondering what method they are using in Everquest: Next, and how it compares to this. Also, from CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) work I have done, c

It could be a FOV (field of view) problem, try upping it to 80-90 degrees. Many games designed for console assume you are 10 ft from a tv, not 2ft from a monitor, so the default to as low as 60 degrees. I know if I don't up it to at le
