Anchor Full Cream Milk Powder. Powdered, but some of the best milk we've ever tasted. Great for lattes and mochas. IMHO much, much better than UHT. From New Zealand, so wouldn't even have to ship it very far. Expensive, though, or

Well, for one thing the "limerick" doesn't scan. I think the first line was a gimme--"limerick" and "There once was a ..." have got to be really, really correlated in the model, so only "model so smar

Nope. At least, it wouldn't help in the nasty parts. The first couple of robots they sent in saw up to 650 Sieverts/hr [1] (about 650 Grays/hr, or 650 Joules/kg/hr) [2]. It started to kill the video and other contro

It appears the OP article is just a rehash of SK Hynix press release [1], which is being republished by the usual suspects. Anandtech has a more jaundiced take [2]. I don't think it's just buffering; registered memory is nothing n

Non-EV driver here; glad I did a search making the "obvious" reply. Surprisingly, "one pedal driving mode" is a thing. Its described as opt-in with a switch or setting, so I guess there's still a brake pedal. Which

Anyone care to recap for those of us who'd rather not pull up twitter? The graph linked to in other comments appears to show a deliberate de-orbiting, or at least lowering of orbit. Edit: There appear to be a few people, at least, who

If you take two independent source datasets, A and B, and combine them (add, subtract, whatever) to produce C, then C is correlated to A and B, but A and B are uncorrelated. So in the paper, there are two datasets D and E, and a third F. Th
