An MRI magnet doesn’t produce heat while producing a magnetic field. That’s not why they are cooled. They are superconductors, the resistance is 0.

It isn’t what nation state has traditionally meant because of the differing definition of nation, true.. but it has some reason for existing... Nation here means national (as in internationally sovereign) and state means the government of t

That’s irrelevant though. I run OS X on kvm, people run hackintoshes. There’s no technical limitation here, never has been, it’s a business decision. Apple obviously isn’t beholden to the licensing terms that they release OS X to their cons

That is the correct way to express torque with vectors. The definitions in the blog post are not vectors, they are scalars and the dot is not a dot product, just multiplication. (F_t there is what is commonly notated as F_perpendicular). I

That paper is not good support for your pedantic argument. (More pedantically, any coin without uniform density is "weighted" by definition, regardless of toss bias) In fact, most methods of coin toss will be influenced by an unba

It’s not true that CE could not support multitasking. Originally CE up to 5.0 had a limitation in the number of processes it supported (32), in order to support more performant task switching (no TLB flushes for one) - though it did not hav

Yes, I am quite aware (I mentioned preconfigured radios and gave aircraft radios as an example).. American CB radios are HF, after all. But the poster claimed they had "never seen an HF radio" that was more complicated then turnin

> As I say, I just switch them on really. Ok. It sounds like you're mostly talking about military communications. For a very restricted set of short distance communication a pre-configured HF radio set with a pre-matched antenna m

All I can say to this is, you must not know what an HF radio is. Perhaps you're confusing them with VHF radios? https://www.universal-radio.com/used/sold050.html Those are all HF radios, and not particularly obscu

Come again? This is pretty much word salad. In the source data, Saudi Arabia is scored as a -2 for locals hostile and France only -1. The percentage is 17% and 33%, respectively. Why is this? The conversion to percentages doesn't make

There's a thing called dynamic type checking. It's literally all type checking done at runtime. Even for mostly static typed languages you may want to lookup what a downcast is, it's not obscure.
