It seems highly unlikely that exactly 100% of the capacity of the interconnects is, coincidentally, precisely equal to the amount of excess power available to be fed into the interconnects at the moment. Do you have anything to back up this

I don't think that's a fair assessment of Islam. The whole issue seems to be an internal argument among the Muslim community- so Islam is a necessary precondition for this problem, as it's the subject matter of the issue, but

I did the math on this once out of curiosity. If we launch lots of bits of thin, reflective mylar film to the L2 Lagrange point with the sun, it will reflect incoming light and lower the Earth's insolation. About $200 billion worth of

That page list every incident of any kind, including things like bird strikes and hijackings, which aren't think I would expect to affect one brand more than the other. Crucially, this also doesn't normalize to the quantities of p

Did you read any of the article? Trump isn't mentioned at all, nearly the entire article is about Obama and his administration's misuse of the Act.

Set insertion is O(n) in this case. An O(1) set insertion refers to constant time regardless of the size of the inserted element, but if you add one element to a set, then add a billion elements to the set, the latter will take about a bill

You're right that 'asymptomatic' doesn't necessarily make sense when counting prevalence of a disease, but it does make sense when trying to contain that disease, as asymptomatic people can still be contagious. The metri

I don't think anyone is claiming the protests are 100% peaceful. The question, then, is how much violence occurs relative to total protest activity? If fewer than 50% of protestors engage in violence, wouldn't it then be accurate

The heavy trucks used in the mining industry are almost entirely electric. If a truck is going underground, much better for it to not be spitting fumes that will kill your workers, and if the mine is at the top of a hill, the regenerative b

Could you clarify your use of "permitted" here? In the sense of "allowed", it seems redundant, since you go on to say that they were or were not forcibly dispersed. The other option, more literal, is "they got a per

If that were true, I would expect the demographics of the supporters of the current administration to be skewed towards immigrants, especially from Central and South America, and I would expect to see opposition to the current political cli

A further complicating factor is that quality can be masked from the customer, and indeed will be if that's less expensive than actually improving the quality. And thus no one will actually know that Boeing's planes are of lower q
