You shouldn't even need to show a passport to fly through a country's airport if you transit through. I wonder why the plane did not go directly to Lebanon - it is probably to avoid raising suspicion.

Excellent points here! Very likely scenario. I have yet to see any major achievement that did not "break" law in some way. Remember laws are made for "regular" boring folks to keep them in line. They cannot accommodate m

What does it mean to "impose" their views? Do you mean that car ownership is disincentivized by making people bear more of the cost of their car ownership?

What is your point exactly? That it is possible that there a few individuals for whom driving is more advantageous than public transport? Of course, it is possible. Is it likely that if everyone drove instead of taking public transport driv

Are you saying that all one needs to do is put money into the risky companies that will succeed and avoid the risky ones that won't?

Datapoint for reference: if you invested in an SP500 fund during the same time you would have roughly doubled (around 180%) your money (an annualized return of 11%).

This makes no sense, from the beginning of time people would be hanging out at pubs and watering holes - places that primarily sell alcohol - a poison technically speaking. If anything hanging out at McDonald's is a positive developmen

What you forget here is that most people buying used games would not buy them new. Being able to sell a game may expand the market, it is possible that even more people would buy new games if they knew they can resell them later.

What's Next for R? Doing the exact same thing we did before! We have a new library called "dtplyr" (no seriously!) it is designed to save users from the arcane and obtuse sides of R by combining the power of "dplyr"

Everyone can end up lonely and forgotten. It is a problem that is solved by staying involved and becoming part of a community. Integrating into a foreign culture is orders of magnitude more difficult - for many perhaps impossible at old age

"afford" is just a way to rephrase "exploit" - due to the fundamentally unfair wealth distribution you can "afford" a gardener as a retired middle manager only because a lot of poeple in that society are being

I believe the reason for this is simple (though understandably unpopular): A lot of people that get rich because of America would just drop American citizenship once they do get rich to avoid paying back into the system that allowed them to

There are interesting summaries there but when it comes to the performance the article compares the implementation speed of the json parsing and the base64 encoding libraries in Nim and Crystal. It is not clear at all if those lessons a

Some might call this a jaded and a cynical view but is one that I have also observed and concluded that is more realistic than we care to admit. It is not a conspiracy, it is not a predetermined plan, it just happens that certain kinds of p

this is a good point, there is a lot more to diving really deep than storing a sufficient amount of oxygen. Basic physiological processes work differently at high pressures.

by glofish 7y ago
I used my recollection from diving instruction and looks like I was off, every 33ft (10 meters) adds one ATM pressure, which, in turn, works as you said. Every ten meters the volume goes down like so 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/

This is kind of a cop-out, how would anyone know? Is Dropbox open source? Is Dropbox even a typical Python application representative of the challenges of porting from 2 to 3? My hunch is that the challenges of porting Dropbox to any other

wait - what? Is Django a big enough project for you? Did you know that Django was not only successfully migrated from Python 2 to Python 3, it was ported in such a way that for many years it used the same codebase in both languages ... Perh

I agree - the statement that migrating from Python 2 to Python 3 is a comparable effort to migrating from Python 2 to Go feels grossly exaggerated.

ah, fascinating! now it makes sense, it stores the air somewhere else!

Fish control their buoyancy via a swim bladder. Suddenly bringing up a deep water fish would make it explode. every 33ft up the volume of air doubles. Hence that rule of diving of never holding your breath and continuously letting the air o

Is 5 seconds such a long time really? For parsing a file, then creating and evaluating 1 million local variables, all inserted into the local namespace? Made me wonder, how long does it take to compile a million line long C program? Let&#x2
