It makes financing single family homes near impossible for speculative builders. Builders need to find a buyer to do the financing before construction can start. Actually it makes private financing difficult for all builders, but then it cr

GPS specs a specific window (the broadcast message bit positions) in the ephemeris for specifying leap seconds, so that data window has to be filled with a value, even if it's zero. The issue is that only certain defined gps weeks use

Yeah, you're sort of assuming a generic geometric solution, when we already know how to simplify a lot of the math/ reduce the unknowns. If you find Polaris, you have both a vector to north and an angle to calculate latitude. No o

You'd either need to know your starting location, or have a clock synced with a known observatory, (which in combination with an overhead observation, is just another way to determine your approximate starting location). You don't

The Navy is historically in charge of keeping official time in the US, and many other countries. It's not that they can or can't make adjustments vs any other standard of keeping time, it's that they don't have to. Whate

Because then you'd still need an almanac of the drift in determining celestial location/navigation. It's easier to just keep high noon at the Greenwich observatory as the defining datum, since most worldwide coordinates ultim

For navigation especially, these leap seconds are important so that celestial bodies rise/set/transit overhead at the expected times when calculating longitude. Lots of critical military devices still use star based navigation, an

The opportunity cost is there, whether the actual water is exported or not. Especially if the local resource is somehow subsidized either directly or indirectly.

Yeah- but you postpone it indefinitely, or pay it back in a year where you have negative income or other circumstances that afford a better tax situation. Or get sneaky and attempt other "creative" legally questionable solutions,

You or me would sell stock and pay taxes. He borrows against the shares, which keeps his votes while cashing out non-taxable income.

That was the idea. The truck manufacturer has been out of business long enough now that seeing a surviving example is relatively rare.

You have to also revert the play services app and then disable it, in addition to reverting the launcher app. I've got some other apks disabled as well, but I think these two are the critical ones. I haven't had the ads pop up aga

Nvidia had been opting out of this launcher update for at least a year, so they knew it was there. They may have been less aware of the timing of Google over riding it, but they should have at least known enough to be working on an alternat

Except the percentages max out at 100% design capacity. So in flood years (defined as exceeding this capacity) the surplus water isn't governed by the allocation. This has been Egypt's excuse for syphoning water beyond the design

by beerandt 5y ago
The issue is: there are treaties that split water rights between countries, but flooding beyond 100% of capacity at any given point isn't counted. Egypt has been taking advantage of this, allowing the "overflow" from their da

And since Dodd Frank, financing is much harder to come by. Most residential contractors who used to be able to build the same spec houses a few dozen times each, are now in a position where they largely survive off of client financing, whic

I've worked state engineering jobs like this, where the RFQ is basically nothing but the combined resumes of the A-team. The contract says they do the work, but it still gets sent to juniors. At most, it gets the A-team's PE stamp

Yes- and imho, that's the way to do it. Make it competitive in terms of time and trouble and cost and usability. But it's still not going to be more energy efficient than air for most situations & destinations.

by beerandt 5y ago
Air still has the advantage- runway is not a function of distance to the destination, and runways are not destination specific. So it's more appropriate to compare it to part of the station cost, along the lines of another boarding ar

This is a good example of the line being skirted, with the Church (not sure if it came straight from the pope) saying not to vote on a single issue, but consider all issues. Which in this case meant: it's ok with us if you don't v

Part of what will prevent mass adoption is it ignores distribution, which will still require chemical residual treatment, like chlorination. If you have to install chlorinating equipment and operate it, then it becomes a matter of if the ma
