You might find a market with those who use it daily and don't want to be always cutting off new bits of tape and making a growing glue mess. For example foreign students from Asia calling their parents (they all do this and they do it

What happened to the old idea that when you observe a quantum system, its wavefunction collapses? Is that not true anymore? It seems like these guys observed it "gently" enough that it only sort of mostly collapsed with some bias?

This is the fashion. Startup websites aren't supposed to repel you with technical details on the home page. "Furniture, truck, phone, whitespace" is enough. What more do you need to know? Just click the button.

Take great care to sign contracts for anything significant you expect to get. I did something like this once and after spending a long time enhancing it, suddenly the acquantance decided he didn't need to share the profit anymore.

Do Americans realize their country works like a criminal gang?There's an innocent man still in prison today for trying to help the victim (Russia) detect being illegally spied on by America. Why is he still in prison? He did the right

If you use CAN-ON it's only 12 chars. But if you already know you're in Ontario it's only 5 including the dot. So that makes the difference between saying it to someone and having to write it down. Mapcode is massively shorte

I'm surprised they still use glass incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs. Perhaps it's cheaper?

I'd expect the prorating to spread the dates evenly across the decade precisely to avoid this kind of periodicity. It seems to suggest dates have been inaccurately recorded with year precision as, say 1690 when some author along the li

Notable people born before 1700 tended to be born in years that are multiples of 10. I wonder if a lot of dates are less accurate than they're thought to be.

Why preserve culture? You answer still comes down to "because we can't lose it". The other side of the coin is it's being done at the expense of forcing all minority language speakers to be economically disadvantaged. Gr

Sadly popular opinion seems to be that languages and other traditions must be preserved because, well, we can't lose them. It's certainly good to preserve them in museums so people can use them for research, etc. But there's

I'm constantly bewildered by how Americans keep complaining about the government they elect. I live in a country without democracy so you can understand people complaining, but not in America. Just stop voting for the same parties that

I didn't see mentioned. Why do it? It might save some species? That needs to be something they're sure of and sure they can't be saved more cheaply other ways.

The instructions ask you to choose what feels right, not what you learnt at school to be grammatical. So you should expect poor results if you rejected right-feeling sentences.

I guess most people from "ebonics" postcodes who took this quiz and trained it are more educated than their neighbors so they ended up picking the US standard English options like you did.

This has to be taken with a grain of salt unless it's well reproduced and in longitudinal human studies too. Every day there's new medical research showing the cause of this or that, or linking something with something else. A lot

Indeed. They're not doing anything hobbyists like yourself can't do anyway. We can't expect the government to be less capable than ordinary people. The problem would be if the police can legally use drones for intrusive purpo

A fundamental difference between online "property" and physical property is that you can never fully protect physical property. Build a stronger wall and someone can use a bigger bulldozer to break it. But build a secure website a

Where I come from it does. The police will blame the victim if they left their door unlocked and got burgled. Also, insurance will sometimes won't pay out.

Why do you need to trust a website before clicking the link? If your computer has some vulnerability to virus/hack just by visiting a website then you need to upgrade!

Isn't IPv4 good for privacy? My IP address doesn't uniquely identify me unless you get records from my ISP. But wouldn't I be more likely to keep the same IPv6 address consistently? It also makes it hard for websites to bloc

There isn't really a difference between "increasing" and "not decreasing". Some of these debates have been about ISPs not investing in infrastructure when they otherwise might have. The market can still provide a so

I think you're focusing too much on the technical implementation. I agree with the parent that a CDN effectively carries traffic from a content provider to the end user. Sure it does it in bigger chunks, and uses existing network conne

If you shrink it even further still you'll find 100% isn't being occupied! That's assuming each person occupies only a point, or pretty close to. That's why this map is so misleading even if it is fascinating. The size o

For the purpose of assessing how densely populated places are, this map is extremely misleading. A rural area with one farmer in each block will look just the same as a city, and both will look more populated than part of a busy highway or
