As much as I'd like to say you'd get caught quickly, you could probably get away with it for a while in any group that didn't have ML expertise already. If you really wanted to you could fabricate results and in lots of cases

Digikey has one of the better search engines, not least because you get preview thumbnails of almost everything, and you can search in single unit quantities. It also has some intelligence when filtering parts by value (eg Leds by wavelengt

I ctrl-f'd for something else and had to do a double take when I saw that. The worrying part is presumable someone actually does that job - which seems to only involve sticking tubes into people, never mind which hole.

It looks straightforward. Skipping basically all the maths, it's equation 19 in the paper. Each contour is a line of constant z (flux), plotted in polar coords: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1979A%26A....75..228L

OK I misinterpreted slightly. Fake it til you make it isn't a terrible strategy. But pure fraud? If you didn't even make an attempt to learn on the job? You'd get caught pretty fast as soon as someone started asking any kind

Even up to a CAT IIIB approach, pilots still have a decision height where you go around if you don't see the runway or the approach lights. That's not very high for CAT IIIB (15m), but pilots are trained to abort and are basically

Look at ESA's Sentinel 2. It has a 5-6 day revisit time and the data will always be free. It's 10m resolution which may or may not be good enough. Google Earth Engine is designed exaclty for this (and has other satellites too).

We've been using Tea Pigs which is pretty good (and about half the price of T2). Not sure I could taste the difference at that price point, but we have a T2 locally.

Make sure you actually buy loose leaf tea. Even "respectable" brands like Twinings in the UK sell what looks like dregs. Its definitely not leaves. I've not seen an appreciable difference in brew time using loose leaf. A mug

My experience of embedded is that it encapsulates needing to know everything about more complex systems. You can't make any assumptions about anything, which makes life fun. And often it's something totally unexpected which causes

There is some recent research that shows you can do some nice companion farming with solar, in very arid places. The plants get enough light, but also get shade and have reduced irrigation requirements. https://www.nature.com&#x2

You would have to dive to cut the cable. Easier, if your boat is powerful enough, to pull until the cable breaks. Ignoring malicious activity, could be something as simple as an anchor got caught and they pulled the station with it?

One approach might be to estimate the intrinsic parameters of the camera based on keypoint tracking. Assuming the camera was adjusted between shots, you might be able to get that to work. Or you could make some kind of generic feature vecto

This is pretty common in most of Europe (especially Spain and France). People will buy a (demi) baguette or equivalent every day and it'll get eaten. We're not talking about sliced bread.

Both Bing and Google use aerial imagery with centimetre-scale resolution (certainly 25cm). PlanetScope is 3m I think, the totally free stuff like Sentinel 2 is 10m (5 day revisit). The best commercial imaging satellites are <0.5m. Below
