I think this has something to do with how to brain stores memories, and that storage is highly entwined with a spatial location. Somehow being able to tie that memory to a location in space makes it more concrete for me. If I remember a fac

Not necessarily. The first two substances have been vaporized extensively in the past as fog juice. Modern fog fluids use (IIRC) a mix of different glycol formulations, but glycerin is no longer used in any commercial products due to health

Not to mention the last-foot problem of placing the package somewhere safe for the recipient. How would these drones put a package in a locked vestibule or even my covered porch?

First, your argument is an ad hominem attack. Do you have specific issues with the details cited? If so, then make an argument against those. Second, even if the reporters are unionized, the managers, who are the ones who greenlight storie

I think at some point it's good to read any book, as you're learning the process of reading. But later on it definitely matters. I had this same struggle with my daughter when she was in middle school -- she got so many kudos fo

Because that's the system under which we live. Healthcare should be provided to all by the government for free, but until then we must live under the system.

Often you're not scrubbing individual data, you're logging the contents of an entire object. In this case, depending on the language, I will usually use an annotation/decoration on the object itself so the logging platform wi

$21/hour only includes time when you're on a fare, not time when you're logged in and available. And it doesn't include the gas, maintenance and depreciation on your personal vehicle driven 30-50k miles per year to reach

AND your own gas, maintenance, and depreciation would come out of your $10.50.

Exactly. And 60fps (which is not that high for many games) gives you 16.67ms per frame. at a 50ms delay you're already 3 frames behind.

It's a great idea but is it legal to operate a personal Stingray?

This is a false dichotomy. If you're unsure of usage you could just instrument your code to log method calls and use that analysis to inform what maybe should be removed, but only if you first understand why.
