Retail customers are the cheapest source of capital for BB. I remember directors would laugh about it when it was brought up. Banks are not doing retail (any) customers any favors.

The hashes were acquired as Freenet content hash keys. He was sharing CP on freenet, which the government scrapes for known CP signatures.

I would expect that construction to result in identical behavior for dict() and certainly not anything calling itself a tuple. NamedTuples behaving in the manner you expect violates LSP with respect to tuple().

Social mores are social norms so widely/fervently held that they predicate the law itself, such as prohibiting incest. The term was invented to refer to these types of commonly held beliefs by a sociologist.

You are better off squaring the signal. Applying an FFT to get the magnitude will smear your signal in time. I suggest you look into acoustic emission detection.

Since bubbles popping are a random and impulsive source, the spectrum of the detected noise will be the resonance of the glass plus a white noise floor. 48khz is not overkill. Acoustic emission sensors used to detect signals like this typic

Non-safety-critical components in the steam plant are likely to have networked PLC control. While nuclear probabilistic safety assessments support that licensed reactors can safely endure casualties involving such components, the safety sys

Our sun can't come close to the temperature reached in advanced fusion weapons, and it exhibits the power density of a compost pile. 8/10

The thermal radiation and resulting firestorm would be the cause of most deaths from an attack on a city.

Large vessels use much more complex and specialized axial thrust bearings for propulsion shaft loads. What works for an ROV won't necessarily do the job at the required scale.

The shock wave is a serious hazard to personnel far beyond the fireball. Just a few pounds of dynamic overpressure presents a hurricane-force wind hazard, and five will result in catastrophic damage to non-hardened structures and a near com

If the impeller is capable of developing sufficient force to move a submarine at operational speeds, it will require serious axial thrust bearings. The impeller pushes against the housing with the same force that a conventional shaft develo

Myth is certainly not science. Transmission of belief occurs through myths, not knowledge.

You are painting with an extremely broad brush. Before you give up on this idea, just try this exercise: enumerate the markets and financial instruments that you could potentially trade in, and characterize the current trading environment i

The PS2, Xbox 360, Wii, and some intel chips with iris provide on-die DRAM caches.

Still, multiprocessing objects like Array and Manager are limited to ctypes.

The NNPP doesn't distribute any high quality theoretical nuclear engineering texts. The good texts they use are targeted towards the specific systems and materials deployed on ships and submarines.

This could also be leakage from peaceful isotopic production operations, which are and will be a persistent source of false positives for the global iodine detection system.

You need a concentrating system and a spectroscopic radiation measurement system to produce a signal with sufficient SNR.

If a warhead fizzled, it would have destroyed the submarine carrying it, which would have detonated hundreds of tons of rocket fuel and the rest of the explosives on board. We would have known about the explosion the same way we did the Kur

This reactor was 1/50th the scale of a typical power reactor. The radiation, thermal-hydraulic, and chemical environment of a full-scale reactor is different. Different stress corrosion interactions, severe oscillating stresses due to

Chernobyl occurred prior to the warming in relations that resulted from Gorbachev's reforms, so it is understandable that the Soviets perceived a significant threat from admitting the accident occurred. Unlike Fukushima, Chernobyl slow

Two serious fallacies here: 1) The risk posed by nuclear war is correlated across nearly every individual, so the odds ratio between risks posed to you as an individual and nuclear war is of no use to the practice of risk management in such

Compensating for this effect of training may be done by properly discounting the measure using the Deflated Sharpe Ratio or similar corrected SR's. I always ask any interviewee who cites experience producing these measures a question w

Nuclear electric power production carries risks, which are outweighed by the expectations of lives saved by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas production.

TTAPS assumed strikes on petroleum facilities and cities. I don't think your scenario fits the assumptions of any study on nuclear winter.

Every statement in here is wrong, but the greatest error is this: the most potent leg of the US triad is invulnerable to the threat you describe, and is capable of annihilating the USSR. Yes, US SSBN's are equipped with time-travel tec

The United States continues to invest billions of dollars in advancing nuclear weapons science (NIF,ASCI,LEP). A critical detonation of a weapon is unnecessary. There is plenty of useful data available from a long-term program such as NIF,

That relation is equivalent to conservation of mass, and wouldn't account for any energy losses. As the asteroid is fragmented, its total cross section rises, increasing energy deposition in the atmosphere, reducing available energy fo

The skin effect should result in a high-frequency AC current propagating at lower tissue depths than a lower-frequency AC current. Why would RF AC propagating in flesh not follow this general rule?
