I can warrantee you compacted snow is ice. Just go to Greenland, Argentina or Switzerland and see a glacier by yourself. You see ice and bubbles(bubbles could grow and become caves and over time they go up). Icebergs are called ICE- berg fo

Usually Apple does not invent anything, they design using what other people have invented. Apple does not focus on research as much as in development. They put billions into factories that mass produce what has been already proven to work.

They face retaliations with the Aswan dam. Egypt can not use Suez, because the US, Europe and Israel will intervene for sure on that particular case against Egypt and Egypt will lose for sure.

Ethiopia is probably the only nation in Africa that has not been dominated by foreign powers. The reason is the topography. Ethiopia has lots of mountains, like Switzerland and it is painful to attack. Any foreign nation helping Ethiopia co

I recommend you the book "fluent forever". I have learned several hard languages since I bought the book and started using anki. Now that I speak several languages is easier and easier to learn a new one. I am native Spanish speak

I have been working remotely for decades. Most people can't work remotely and productively because they are not trained to do so. E.g. You are in your office (inside your home) and your wife, your dog or child enters it demanding you d

You train them. If you let people take advantage of you, they will take advantage of you, of course. Most of the time is not on purpose. Thinking how something should work (or using it once done) is way easier than doing it(hundreds or thou

In some way it is self inflicted damage. Remember Murphy was an engineer, and "if you let something go wrong, it will go wrong" means as an engineer it is your responsibility not letting people shoot their feet, because if you do,

I would say he is looking more like Lenin than Stalin: Having some ideal in his mind that he will apply no matter what. And people giving him authority like a God, everything depending on his opinion. Lenin had his perfect idea on his mind,

Of course philanthropy is self serving. It serves the interest of those who manage it, that normally are related or controlled by those that put the money. I believe it is much better than the alternative: That they are controlled by those

I use different methods, but the most important one is an old Fujitsu Snapscan automatic feeder scanner that scans pages by both sides at the same time. I bought that in order to OCR books(destroying them cutting them with a rotary disk sa

What you already knows determines what you consider "easy". When you learn English, Italian, Spanish and French you are not learning really 4 different languages as those languages overlap each other, they are from the same family

People are too naive when they talk about China. For one people actually believe Chinese's numbers, something no Chinese national will ever do. China is a totalitarian country, they have the monopoly of the press. That means official n

It is really nothing particular about schools. In Spain the first day schools were closed children started playing on the streets, or playing basketball and soccer(you can play soccer anywhere). They were quite happy doing that. Then the au

What you don't say is that NASA was uber expensive in their innovation, with things like not using common CPUs because they were not well tested. And nobody takes risks there anymore. The difference between SpaceX and NASA is mainly th

People do not trust Media because they are not trustworthy. Google and Facebook have appeared and taken all the advertising money that Media used to get. When Media started to get Internet, after the first wave of disaster, everyone could b

But you would love having lots of children to play with, everybody is young, lots of food in front of the Mediterranean sea when it was not polluted nor crowded. As an adult you would have lots of sex and live would be an adventure every da

That is a significant number for a medicament that is given to healthy people. If you had children and one of them died as a result of a vaccine, you would not say is a small population affected. There are other vaccines that can be used. I

That was in the past. Apple has one of the best systems for drawing 2D and it is accelerated on the GPU. It is used by Apple Maps and it made the Offline maps of it much better than Google's. But Apple is using trade secrets here, they

Vulkan/metal/d3d give you control to do things you could not do with OpenGL, and they are very similar. All my code works first in Vulkan and Metal, but d3d is not hard when you have your vulkan code working. OpenGL was designed b

I have lots of experience, created several font renderers in the CPU and GPU. No, doing CPU drawing is too inefficient. Without too much trouble you get 50x more efficiency in the GPU, that is, you can draw 50frames per every frame in the C

They can use it to start fixing the roads, not the cars. Just look at the cross intersection they use as an example, typical of the US. The ROAD is the death trap there. People are crossing each other at high speed, this is the BUG, and sho

Depends of your early experience in life. Whatever you have been doing before determines if it is a good idea or not. I always recommend that you have a competitive advantage in what you do. So if you start anew competing against 20 years o

Input in NES is not lag's source. Input is only read once per frame. Today it is very simple and cheap to improve over old controllers. Lag comes from video. If you do not use FPGA emulators like Mister the video delay is enormous. I d

For learning programming I always recommend that you have a specific project in mind, so instead of following a book, you follow your project's needs and use books as a reference. I learned (intel x86)assembly from joining a cracking g
