They're (W3C) actually citing the EME precedent as an example of when the W3C went forward without consensus to justify their position on this. If this is the direction the W3C is going then it has ceased to serve the interests of the

I believe that in that context "performance" refers to encoding efficiency (aka compression factor), not the encoding or decoding speed.

For those like me who are not familiar with aviation topics, "bleed air" is air taken from the compressor stage of the engines and used to pressurize the cabin. Not all aircraft use this system and some have an option to use this

You wouldn't store the CO2 gaseous at atmospheric pressure, you'd use the energy to compress it, presumably liquefying it. Liquid CO2 has a density of around 1100kg/m3, according to a quick Google search, so your example powe

Your comment reads a little strange, if this kind of agreement is unfavorable for employees, makes it easier for a former employer to prove breach of contract, and contributes to an exploitative industry, why recommend signing it ? If we co

Just nitpicking, but this is not isometric, this is top-down oblique projection. Isometric is when all 3 axis are of equal length and separated by 120 degrees.

I think SO has 2 problems : 1) it want to be a repository of canonical knowledge, a giant FAQ and wiki of everything. The problem is, that it does not fit the way the site actually works: people will write imperfect questions, precisely bec

The law says he must "keep and retain" any funds not used to feed inmates. Well he didn't keep nor retain it, he spent it to buy a house. How is this considered "following the letter of the law" ?

Yes, but I was under the impression that they have ramped up their commercial launches substantially in the last few years, and that they are sending more small satellites clusters recently. Maybe I'm wrong about their launch history,

The rate of satellite launches seems to be increasing at an ever-greater rate. With the advent of SpaceX, ISRO, and many new actors in the launch business space has never been so cheaply accessible. A runaway Kessler Effect ( https:/&#

For what it's worth, I have an alarm clock connected to the French grid, and until last month it's been perfectly on time, so assuming it is tuned to 50Hz there is probably something wrong with the source data.

By that definition you could say that pretty much anything that does something is a machine. A computer is an electrical machine, the Sun is a physical machine ... We choose to give specific names like "computer" or "star&quo

I think those old websites are great and it's a shame that so many were lost in time or with the destruction of geocities. I resurrected my own from some backup I had kept by some stroke of luck, the site was originally created on the

I think one way for matter to reach the black hole might be that when more matter comes close to the black hole the event horizon expands, so that matter that is already close to the event horizon gets incorporated even without moving. I do

I think that imposing decisions on others for their own good is a dangerous path to take. You stop considering them as adults capable of taking rational decisions but as children that need ot be shown the light, by employing authority and f

It's actually orbiting around the Sun, it passes near Earth orbit at the perihelion and near Mars orbit around aphelion, but is not actually in orbit around either planet.

The car is on an elliptic heliocentric orbit that crosses the Earth orbit at its perihelion and crosses Mars' orbit at its aphelion. It is not in orbit around either planet.

For Windows my favorite tool is SpaceMonger version 1.4 (last freeware version). For some reason I find the layout algorithm very pleasing and the nesting easy to read. Other apps tend to put too many little rectangles too close together an

I agree with all your interpretations except for #4, I think it's the opposite, if something is ambiguous then you need to add detail to clarify it, and you can present a lot of information at once as long as the representation is cons

One of the oldest forms of writing that we know of, Babylonian tablets, are mostly about goods exchanges and paying taxes. I think that you assessment that taxation is a new thing is blatantly wrong.

Sounds like a false dichotomy. Another way could be to let the user turn on low-power mode, or accept the diminished battery capacity. I know that doing what Apple thinks is best is Apple's way, but maybe in this case it's the wro

I'm curious, as a libertarian, how do you come to the conclusion that private property, which is a political construct, is a good thing, while taxation, which is also a political construct, established by the same set of laws, is a bad
