The people I've met coding Cobol are all stuck in strict 8-17 jobs, with no flex time and weekend stints, with really rigid bosses who do not allow you to take family leave. The money seems ok though, but flextime and two hours less pe

1999 was the first year Tour de France cyclists managed to get 40km/h on average for the whole 3200 km and three weeks long race. According to http://bikecalculator.com/ 40 km/h requires between 260W and 450W fr

The greatest sound pollution from cars is the tires noise. At low speeds this is not noticable but the faster you go the worse it is, I believe engine noise is overtaken by tire noise somewhere above 30km/h. This sound is spread 10km i

That depends on the model for me, some work good others do not. But I don't know about daily use I've only worn them for two days max.

Winter is no problem for me without car, and we have snow most of the winter. A car is a choice you make, not somethings you have to have.

Using left overs is a way to cook more complex meals! If you enjoy handling food then learning about handling left overs is a big part of that. If you go back and look at weekly food schedules from the past you will see patterns, were peopl

How do you test that; can you measure how you react to motion at 120fps vs 280fps, or is it just a feeling?

Everyone has to try to live green, and we should admire and strive to surpass the ones who take it to an extreme. We know from statistics and economics that the rest of the world will want the same standard of living as the west, and that t

No, even with millions of drones in the same airspace, all drones (should) have a GPS, that means internal clocks could easily be synced to a microsecond this makes replay attacks pretty hard to do if you use some basic crypto.

Yeah, the linear scale graph from wikipedia does make GEO seem very large. I'm guessing wildly here but most things in GEO should be orbiting in the same(ish) speed and direction, which makes a cascade as those we will get in LEO less

For this to work you need: 1. satellite client decoy system that drops packages (not deny) 2. satellite client listening system 3. an other network connection that allowed source spoofing. If you are contacted on the decoy system you just s

Considering that US federal law seems to be gender agnostic, from skimming Wikipedia, I'm not so sure about this criticism. At least there seems to be a ground work for caring for parents and not only mothers. While I agree with your s

Basically xargs in python, and I love xargs. There are some cool examples of places were xargs fails in the docs, this got me very excited I hope it works in 2.7. https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.future

They do not seems to warrant further investigation, the examples you find about these implementations are overly simplified bordering useless. If you are going that way you might as well go with something like PowerShell, and that's a

To hear someone talk about albatrosses from his local perspective is amazing. That said you are using anecdotal observations from an area which is located more than 10 000 km from the habitat of these Albatrosses. There is a recorded histor

Interesting the same has been said about Norwegian food culture, where the kids and parents bring basically a sandwich for lunch. The one I heard was that since the kids will only get the food their parents prepare they are less likely to

School lunch works, but yes when there is no school (or other types of daycare) it does get very hard to get food for the whole family. So it is not the solution to poverty but it does give kids a greater chance at learning wether they are

I do not agree that drunken people share responsibilities for being killed by drivers. That's like saying everyone who go outside needs to be at full mental capacity unless they want to be killed by drivers. There is so much wrong wi

Traffic lights are not there for safety, they are there to make cars go faster, while being dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. People are often killed by cars turning right at traffic lights.

Given that "traffic problems are caused by a very slight increase in the amount of cars" it's very obvious why things got calmer if a small portion of the work force had to change their routine. If you are stuck in traffic y

Crime rate in the US is not an issue, but when talking about travelling in to the US advice like leaving your phone at home etc is quite common. That does influence some people, not to a big degree yet, but it's not getting better atm
