Mechanically more fragile than soda glass, but tougher to temperature shock -- admittedly not that useful for drinking, considering regular mugs also don't often break with boiling water. Good for cooking though: just check out the peo

Acarbose blocks starch (and sucrose, to some extent) absorption. Instead of oily poop you get dry smelly gas that hopefully goes down over time. Starch & sucrose is not as big a part of American caloric intake as fat, but it can still h

Chronic nose problems really do require something else. During bad months I start with a regular antihistamine and then to escalate to ketotifen (somehow OTC in China), and if that doesn't work, saltwater rinse (look, I'm lazy). P

Comment confused me a little bit (won't heat pump heat be reused too?), until I realized that you were factoring in gas-to-electricity efficiency. That makes sense.

The issue with phenylephrine is that it does not help the symptom. Pseudoephedrine does not deal with the underlying immune reactions, but it does constrict your nose blood vessels enough to stop the mucosa from stuffing your nose holes. Ha

Funny enough, that might be exactly why web devs want Safari on Windows, optimally with the whole Apple media stack like iTunes is already shipping: to know what their website would do on a Mac without having one. (Media stack? Yes, I am sa

Japanese used to do this thing too -- back then Kanji was still the proper scholarly thing to use and scholars were the main contact to Western knowledge. In fact, a good number of Chinese words for Western concepts came from Japanese trans

Biologists have been messing with the console since a long time ago. They figured out what each gene does in large part by turning them off one by one, or occasionally making them run more than they should (overexpression). Even before they

Does satlas currently use any channels other than Sentinel's visible RGB? I imagine that those near IR bands can be very useful for plant-related tasks and (with a long stretch) potentially help with object discrimination by adding an

The super-res is surprisingly usable for making sense of land use changes. With OpenStreetMap editing, one common challenge is that out of the usable (license-wise) imagery, the high-defs ones are old and the new ones from Sentinel are low-

SFTP is a major step up from FTP, but there's a lot of unrealized potential on the server side, so you can't just work on better clients. Both OpenSSH and the GNU lsh server only offer an old version of the protocol -- v2, I thi

Graphs of what? CO2 concentration when the initial was never 0, except for when Earth had no atmosphere? Average temperature when a 0 would be an ice age? The "change" graphs start from 0, and that's what matters.

It's mostly the direction: you don't get a lot of vertical acceleration on land except on a bumpy road or a amusement part. Slight loss of gravity takes some getting used to.

ODM is a way to preprocess data before sending it to OAM, but it does not itself provide a sharing platform. One barrier for OAM seems to be that it requires the image to be already orthorectified. To be more like Mapillary you'd need

You are right: NTFS exclusively runs on UCS-2, now "UTF-16 without validation". Back in the 1980s "Unicode" referred to a way to represent the ISO standard "Universal Character Set", i.e. UCS-2, instead of bein
