There is a lot more than regulations. Reputation is important as well. While you can give up a reputation fairly quickly, it is very hard to get/keep. Many companies are well aware of the value of their reputation - they call it the

The context here is an infinite loop with no side effects. You have all the time needed to enter those states.

If the CPU halts it isn't used at all. If the CPU does an infinite loop then it all goes to heat. If the loop is doing anything then it cannot be optimized away. Only loops with no side effects meaning they are just turning the CPU int

They don't think of those terms. However they generally are looking at their photos and so get a sense of what "looks nice" - which is what those terms are all getting at. Now if you know and analyze your photos in those ter

Train conductors are valuable IF they have first aid and CPR training; maybe riot training. There are probably a few other things along those lines as well - but none of them have anything to do with running a train: all the train related

The tourist has another advantage over your photographer: experience. They have thousands of photographs to look at and thus get a better scene of what makes things good. That is if you took both to the same spot and gave them one photogr

Better CPU selection. Embedded almost always have power requirements and you need to put your CPU into a low power mode not a loop which is running fast. You can also design your hardware such that you can turn the power off completely i

Though unlikely the case here, family foundations should always be looked at as a likely source of corruption. You cannot bribe me directly - that would be caught. However you can donate money to my family foundation and my kids (or spouse

You are an idiot if you write an infinite loop. An infinite loop is a waste of CPU cycles and energy when run. If it wasn't so hard to detect (the trivial cases are easy, but it gets hard quickly) I'd say the program should fail

Cars have space. A camp stove in the trunk and you can cook anything. Likewise a cooler and you can store things for a short time. Since you have a car you can drive to a supermarket regularly and thus not need to store anything for longer

In the US car taxes are based on value. Where I live once a car is 10 years old the tax is $50/year. Buy a cheap car for $5000, pay $1000/year to insure it, and $50/year for a license and it is fully legal. You still have t

There is the problem: the people who need your old stuff are rarely your heirs. You are still using your perfectly good furniture when your kids (and grandkids) first move out on their own and so you can't give it up to them unless yo

Most people I know with a self storage place are not using them like the article. (though some do - YMMV). Some use it as a warehouse for their business - they rotate stuff in and out. A carpenter might buy a pallet of nails once every f

You didn't do the same math. Given a $1500 monthly payment and a 30 year loan (30 year is most common in the US), at 5% loan is $279,400; at 10% the loan is for 170,900.

The question is what will rates do in the future. If rates go down you refinance, if they go up even more you hold your rates. Either way so you are fine long term, but it can be 10 years before it pays off. Note that the US mostly does fi
