They can take either; waiting for confirmations is only a matter of reducing double-spend risk. In practice, seconds after a transaction has been signed and broadcast, it is already very unlikely to double-spend. Miner incentives are such

Counterweights provide a constant force, whereas springs can be precisely balanced to the decreasing weight as the overhead door becomes more horizontal. It is inherently related to the design of segmented overhead doors.

They can write whatever they like; state law dictates how it actually proceeds. In my state, you must start with arbitration but you have zero obligation to accept that decision and can sue regardless of outcome.

The premise is flawed because that assumes the samples they are studying are identical. Replication is difficult, and particularly difficult for novel processes where the important variables are not well understood. It could be that the me

Benthy, maize, and arabidopsis are the three major plant models. Hundreds of labs specialize in benthy, thousands more use it. It is absolutely a model by any conceivable definition of the term. One of the primary reasons it is a model is

Most people grow sweet corn in their gardens, so they won't be growing these. There are heirloom sweet corn varieties, but they have to be cooked in minutes/hours from harvesting to remain sweet. As far as the starchy corn, you wo

What they're really after is using the structure to direct the wind and create stronger flows by the lip of the roof. This is not a new idea, but perhaps they have hit on a shroud design that works more effectively. I have little doub

> efficiency of 42% of Betz limit, which is inferior to standard utility-scale turbines That isn't surprising at all; wind generation scales very very well with larger size. If it actually achieved 42% at that size, it would still

It's just starting to kick in. Most miners stuck it out to the bitter end. Hashrate was only down around 20% from the peak at the switch to PoS. Then it takes a few days to take apart the rigs and get them ready for listing. And tha

They usually undervolt/clock the GPU, but not the memory. VRAM temps can be an issue and only some miners will try to address that properly with copper shims, etc. The 3090 is notoriously bad for mining because it has memory chips on

In theory you could take some percentage of hydrocarbon production and store it to reach zero.

Replication is far from trivial. It's still worth pursuing, but it's easy to overlook how challenging it can be to successfully execute scientific procedures. Labs generally specialize, as there's a long learning curve to cl

Depends on the card and situation. If 3060ti performance is plenty for you, how much would you expect to save on a 4050? Probably not much, and those cards won't be out until next year sometime. For a higher end card? Yeah it could

The idea of an oppressive scientific elite is a bit too neat and tidy. Certainly there are banal human politics at play, but it's hardly an explanation for all that ails. This idea is too attractive to the heterodox and outsiders cyn

You misunderstand. We've being doing genetics for decades. Molecular biology without mutant studies wouldn't exist. It's the foundation of the field. All this is is a difference in scale. But it is a very crude tool; reall

A gene is essentially defined as having a gene product, either an RNA or protein. So yes, all genes are functional. Genes that aren't translated into protein sequences (noncoding genes) can create structural RNAs as with Ribosomes, mi

Forking is absolutely central to cryptocurrency. In the end, these are just rule schemes for interacting and communicating about value. If no one chooses to participate in it, it has no value. If a sufficient majority would like the rule

Electricity doesn't have a thing to do with this. Maybe you're imagining those fancy Japanese toilets that sing to you. A bidet is just a spigot with a valve. Open valve, blast ass, get clean, close. Unless you have bizarrely c

Mining economics depend on the mining reward. It doesn't get bigger if more people mine. The rewards just get spread out over more/larger participants until profits are tiny via difficulty adjustments. The mining effort depends

Applied Science did a video playing with one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdfHVcU8U7U There are some significant limits on what it can analyze, but it's terrific for learning about metal alloys.

EBMUD actually uses the Pardee Reservoir. But it's a trivial distinction because it's just upstream of the Camanche, both getting water from the Mokelumna watershed.

Chlorine yes, Chloramine no. You need to know what your water utility is using, and be aware that it can change from time to time. Sometimes they'll use Chlorine most of the time, but periodically use Chloramine to address parts of t

It takes many decades for old generation to phase out, so even with a significant fraction of new capacity being solar, the total proportion will remain low. https://cleantechnica.com/files/2020/09/Cumulative-

The only 'signature' one could expect is from flanking sequences. Some viruses, transposons, and bacteria leave such sequence, but it is not universal. And we're talking about organisms here, whole genomes of many mega&#x2F

It's odd that so much focus on dams is often directed at power generation, when flood and drought control is one of the primary purposes of these dams. The Yangtze River likes to flood, and when it does, it can be highly destructive.

Miners are necessarily 'long' due to the capital investment in mining gear. Granted, this cost is less than the marginal electricity costs for mining, it is nevertheless significant. The risk associated with colluding for a 51% a

Translation: guy said something, so now I think regulatory credits are suddenly and inexplicably without value on the market.
