That's right, the forces cancel each other out, so that's "zero-g". If you're accelerating, you're experience some "g" force, not "zero-g".

great game. It's like 2D rubix cube, which for me at least is a great way to actually understand how to solve it, in little pieces, rather than struggling with the whole cube solution. I just never had the spatial intuition for the 3

The FPGA vendor provided soft cores have about the same amount of engineering rigor as a hard core. I'm not sure what you mean by engineering rigor, but there is indeed plenty of engineering to get from a soft core to a hard

I don’t know anything about this, but wouldn’t low 80s still be far better than standard roof material? I’m guessing your average roofing, like shingles, absorbs +90% of solar energy?

These outside companies had minimal oversight from Google, by design. Could this be so that the google corporate toadies could bid out the lowest possible price, yet remain isolated from the predictably unethical, shoddy, or even i

Funny how people become obsessed with specific movements, specific exercise styles, etc. In the posted video, the researchers study all kinds of exercises and environments, and the effects on the brain. Squats, because you’re goi

sounds fascinating, and fraught with peril. I'd be worried that either I'd make myself a target for these hackers/scammers, or law enforcement. Granted most of the hackers/scammers probably aren't very skilled, bu

At least from those expats posting here, the issue isn’t the actual real tax liability, but the burden of having to show the IRS every year that you don’t think you have a tax liability.

Indeed, some SCM metrics could be used to reach exactly the wrong conclusion: lines-of-code add/removed. Oh my gosh! Jonny coder over there has been deleting, deleting! our code. Fire him immediately! Many years ago there

credit unions are great. Typically very customer friendly (i.e. no stupid monthly fees), many have been around a long time, and have rolled-out decent online banking options and mobile apps.

I'm pointing out my conclusion: nothing is safe... yikes! And no, I'm not worried that because of this article anyone can keylog my stuff. It's the realization from OPs summary that there are many attack vectors, and vulner

The funny thing is that this is effectively a keylogger that does not run any code on the CPU while it is running. I already knew it, but this just reinforced how terribly vulnerable pretty much every computer system is. Makes me
