Southeast Asia is pretty diverse. What you said about last mile fulfillment isn't at all true in Thailand. Postal mail is reliable all over the country and there are multiple other fast and reliable delivery services.

Oh yeah, that. This is a book so you don't have a lot of that shady stuff. But you do need to download and install their server code so you can run a Minecraft 1.12 server on localhost. Seems safe and no malware.

Back when I studied this stuff there was a distinction between reproducible (rerun analysis on the data from the original experiment and see if you get the same results - if not then there is an error in the analysis) and replicable (redo t

Have you seen the book "Adventures in Minecraft [1]? Modding Minecraft with Python. I'm working through it with my 10 year old at the moment. Pretty good so far. Nothing "shady" (not sure what you meant by that) and not

As the author says "... it’s tough to hack together a demo in a few weeks, get users, and bootstrap / apply to some accelerator like in many software projects". So the financial rewards don't seem to be there in robotics

Point number 1 is very important to never forget. No matter what level you are at, HR's job is to protect the levels above you, not help you. If you are an engineer that means an opaque shield of HR policies to protect the company and

Metabolism has two parts: Catabolism breaks down complex molecules into smaller building block molecules - think proteins -> amino acids. Then anabolism uses those building blocks to build up larger molecules for growth and maintenance.

Since you have recently been through this, what were the other available options? There were a couple other rad hard processors under development years ago when I left the industry. Do you know what happened to those?

Polyethylene is usually used to shield against cosmic rays. Nearly identical shielding performance as water. Slightly less weight per volume. Can be formed easily and retains its shape.

Well yes, it's the surface disturbance of the underwater wake that they are detecting. So the sub has to be moving under its own power. But there is no need for high resolution and the wake of the sub stands out starkly even with a lar

That's right. The article says "...other SAR satellites on the market can only get down to around five meters" which isn't true if the story I linked is accurate.

That's what is happening at this moment in Thailand. There were no local transmissions for many months. Borders are closed and anyone coming into the country has to go directly to 14 day quarantine and test clean before they get out. B

Correct. It doesn't have to be fake. It could be a very real breakthrough. Then the possibilities branch out. Taking the next step might require huge resources. Will the enemy take that on? If so, can you just watch and spy, saving you

Or maybe it's a misdirection to get the enemy to go down a path they know is a deadend. Or a lure to get the enemy to work harder on a problem so they can steal the solution. Or fake so that the enemy spends more resources faster. Or a

Asia is a big place. In some densely populated areas in Asia most people live in bubbles, moving from air conditioned condos to taxis/subways to offices and then malls. They spend as little time as possible in the open due to pollutio
