Something like this would happen in my Civic too, not a decline but a small bump on the road like where two concrete blocks meet would set it off. It turned out to be a MAP sensor issue. This is something in the exhaust that feeds back to t

Of all the countries I have visited as a tourist, I felt Thailand was the most overrated because of all this. It's surreal to see busy people in train stations at rush hour stop for the anthem, which as I saw later in the cinema is bas

Second Farin's books, the CAGD one is great. On an unrelated note, he passed away earlier this year: https://asunow.asu.edu/20160128-life-and-career-gerald-farin...

I dont get why this is a joke. My guess is the paper probably reported the mean as having some significance in the context of how participants scored, and the professor is pointing out that this is misleading. In other words, they should ha

Whoa I had no idea. I'd just assumed amperage would be higher in the USA, and that my kettle was crap.

The fact that this was reported by "Starman" was enough for me to question its veracity. That is one tall book, written in a conspiratorial tone, telling Soviet tales with no questioning or radar for right and wrong. It is imposs

You are assuming qsort is Quicksort and std::sort is not. Both typically use quicksort; but neither is required to.

I had a POS low powered Android phone until sometime last year and Opera Mini was by far the best browser for that phone. The native browser was slow as molasses where Opera Mini was actually snappy. It also had a much better UI and feature

Why do you care about the sed dependency? It's a basic unix command that everyone has. Unless there's some strong time penalty, it'd be better to use sed over some weirdass bash syntax.

I find the willingness of Google to put their name of this very interesting. This does not seem to be a "my views are mine alone and not my employer's" thing. I wonder about the ethical and legal aspects of this. What stops G

> Most people don't need to buy a car overnight Simply not true in America, at least the poor half of America. Perhaps most people don't need to buy a new car overnight. But a car? They do. Cars break down, get in accidents.

Why is the title editorialized? There is no serious medical condition here, well unless you count delusion.

The other option is a deliberate "ethical" hack.

Patriotism is there, but the main problem here is that India is pretty much already very Balkanized in geography and class if not national boundaries. It also has a strong central government. Any revolutionary/indepedence movements the

I agree. These articles seem way to eager to name a scapegoat. The "whispering in his ear" thing has been around for a while historically speaking, and apparently it's still not gotten old.

The Netflix website is a piece of shit. Their recommendation system is crap. I liked a Robert Redford movie, now even his crap ones show up as five stars. They have decent movies but it's impossible to find. Their search sucks. Their f

Yes I know that Chinese and Indians do not have a civic sense and have a resistance to follow queues. This is again not some absolute thing, but a result of their upbringing. Given enough time in the new place, they will earn its social rul

I had no idea ABP accepted money from advertisers to be put on their whitelist. I know they have to make money somehow but this just seems suspiciously like extortion to me.

For various meanings of diversity different from the canonical meaning that applies here, sure.

Your statement is ironic considering the school's purported reason for taking in his application.

So the school wanted diversity so they called him for an interview, but they hired him even though he was white. Yeah I don't buy that.
