Haha, you’re absolutely right. It’s about 250-300 KM from the ocean. Another thing to consider is the long historical record of Yangtze flooding and the depositing of silt and debris in the delta. Until good flood control structures were

Nanjing, just an hour or so up the river, is multiple thousands of years old and is one of the most important historical cities in Chinese history. So it is really no surprise that Shanghai was not developed until foreign trade became impo

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any official information about the second mode of entry. I assume that this is intentional.

So this is what confuses me. You can look at the most recent results. There were 14578 male finishers in the most recent Boston Marathon. 7000th place was 3:29:24. 14000th place was 5:29:37. How do these runners get into the race if the

Not sure I understand the "qualifying time" aspect. Does hitting 2:55 guarantee you entry into the Boston Marathon, whereas achieving the "cutoff time" gets you into the lottery for one of the remaining spots?

It's too expensive for what you get. I'm not sure if that is fixable. But all the other problems are, and nobody should even think about buying one until they do. VW admits that the UX is awful and have promised a fix. There wi

Many data center tax breaks have carbon-free energy requirements (to varying degrees). If the pace of building data centers exceeds the ability to provide carbon-free energy, you may see a shift in the location of data centers, away from l

As things stand currently, it would be unacceptably intrusive as you have to collect information on all shoppers whether they purchase or not. Do the pre-work first, and then make a rule about displaying the final price.

The conspiracy is far more vast than you imagine! Every single customary unit is secretly defined according to the metric system!

Another interesting factoid is that the final verse of “America the Beautiful” is about Olmsted’s White City in Chicago.

I hadn't heard of gravel racing before (not that I pay so much attention), so I appreciate the article. It kind of glosses over the actual amount of money that the cyclists could be making. I wish there was some example: Are these r

Yes, cache has a much lower power density and could have been a candidate for that space. But I wasn’t on the design team and have no basis for second-guessing them. I’m just saying that cramming more performance CPU cores onto this die is

Modern chips have to dedicate a certain percentage of the die to dark silicon [1] (or else they melt/throttle to uselessness), and these kinds of components count towards that amount. So the point of these components is to be used, bu

Yes. In a margin loan, the "things of value" never leave the institution handing out the loan. The borrower buys stock, for example. And the institution giving out the loan has the right to sell whatever you bought to prevent l

I went through the cancellation process for NYT once before. Which is the entire reason I am not a subscriber at my current address. It's too bad, I'd pay for it otherwise.

That would be nice, but there is a LOT of background work before that is feasible (in the US). As it currently stands, for many products a vendor would need to know who you are and where you live before they could quote you a total price.

Yeah, I think that’s the sentiment. I do wonder how true it can be, however. I wonder how it is in various states, but at least where I live the actual plumbers get licensed, not the plumbing company. So what can they do to stop it? NDAs

I'd be really worried as they haven't finished cleaning up from the previous hurricane. The giant piles of debris are going to be providing a lot of flying projectiles.
