I think it's a stretch to say that a written deal in which a party pays damages is a bribe by that party.

The damages for defamation would be severely limited. Considering that most people in the store would barely notice, and would probably not even remember the following day, you'd be entitled to zero damages, and probably not even costs

It's not safety-critical for a plane, in the sense that if a plane's GPS fails it can still get by safely. It's safety-critical for aviation, because if all GPS fails, then the additional workload across the system means th

I think the spec is saying that it is the message that should not express greater magnitude or precision, not 'the number'. So including the string "0.1" in a message is fine because v = 0.1 implies 0.05 < v < 0.

It's not disingenuous, don't worry. Even if there were some reason that proselyting was a juncture for some employment decision (hard to see how there would be, legally, but hypothetically), they could ask you to simply elaborate

I don't mind this stylistic choice, but I think the author's rule proves too much. If one scale is arbitrary, why is there a graph at all? The impact of the axis line is surely much smaller than the chart itself.

It's not really about trusting the math, it's trusting the math has been implemented on that real-life aircraft over there. The truism about not wanting to fly an aircraft design which relies on a function being Lebesgue-integrabl

Well the point is that the function can define its own logic to determine the behaviour. Users can also (with some limits) restrict the variable scope.

A professional hit can cost as little as a few thousand dollars. The persons who do it for that kind of fee aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

From reports of passengers in the rear of the plane suffering the most injuries, it sounds like a descent followed by an abrupt pitch up (elevators push tail down).

Australia lags behind other countries in certain technology, but not in mining technology. There's sufficient expertise in a population of a few million. (Of course, there's a disproportionate amount of mining engineering experts

The fivefold repetition rule says that the game is drawn in the event of a fivefold repetition, regardless of actions by the arbiter or either player. (Indeed, regardless of whether an arbiter is present.) So if it's later discovered t

To put it pithily: it uses proxies of both dependent and independent variables, which increases the noise of both, in a study to determine signal-to-noise ratio.

Not just the US economy but the US military and the worldwide aviation sector. The Europeans would, if it truly came down to the wire, pay quite a lot to keep Boeing afloat, even though they own its main competitor, such is the danger of a

I had a friend who worked in the Treasury Department and got access to government decisions and statistics releases before the general public did. He and his team would often make paper trades to try to guess the effect of these decisions.

It's well-known that the better a manufacturer's Formula 1 racecars do, the worse their road cars. And Mercedes were the dominant team from 2014 to 2020.
