   Browns are dark oranges. The only color you won't find in the spectrum is purple, which is the combination of red and violet. Take a look at the "CIE color diagram", all the colors on the perimeter of the curved line are sing

   Besides, what's the point? If after a year you are exposed would you trust a year old vaccine or get a fresh round anyway? Universal rabies vaccination might not even change best practices.

    Having patience and compassion for our fellow humans is important. I often remind myself that people generally take actions that make sense to them. The fact that they don't make sense to me does not mean that they are wrong or stupid,

    You would have to do it as a social marketplace. You could post the items you want to pawn and local independent 'shops' could offer the item. Essentially, a reverse Craigslist with pawn dynamics backed by eBay style profiles and

    This is a variation on the Knapsack problem. I'm not familiar with the common proofs used, but it is a well studied problem.

    I didn't know it was controversial. In San Jose we have many (currently dry) ground water recharge ponds where water is let in for the purposes of seeping into the water table. Much of the city uses ground water, the resulting water is

    I think a good model for software complexity is the crossing number from graph theory. [1] If a problem remains possible to describe using a planar graph then you must consider at most four components simultaneously (as a K4 is the maximal

    Maybe a particularly bad example? New Balance has a line of shoes made in the USA and made elsewhere, with about a 2x price difference ($185 for USA, $70 to $100 for non-US).

    I think police should be able to lie, but any response to a lie should be presumed a lie by the justice system. So, a lie can be used to get an undercover cop out of trouble, but a lie cannot help an interrogation. Essentially, an officer o
