Something practical not mentioned here is that the proton exchange membrane in fuel cells generally degrade in a few years and need to be replaced. This is a major expense. Degradation is accelerated if the hydrogen (fuel) or oxygen (from

For what it's worth, I've been asked for MO for a rental deposit in the Midwest, but never on the two coasts.

Seems a plausible concern that malware on the PC can access the clipboard, so they discourage copying their password into clipboard. But intercepting keystrokes to another program (at least in Windows) doesn't require any special permi

Is it just me or has there been a recent spike in malloc / free / seg-fault bugs in production code lately? Is it possible some fixes for Meltdown and Spectre have exposed these problems by making access more strict?

No I'm super healthy, 32 yr old, competitive runner. I have a suspicion that I may have had it even longer than a week in advance and it spread more in the lungs than normal. today is a 2.5 it kind of sucks, do your best to avoid it.

Basically I think it slowly invades your lungs but finally your immune system figures it out and goes all-in. What triggered it was some vigorous excersize which wiped me out. I call that day 1 but it was after over a week of the cough. Day

After a week long light dry cough, it was rapid onset and more resperatory/lung focused kind of immune response, almost like a lung infection. The acronyms SARS is a pretty good description.

Right now tests are being allocated to critically ill or dead people suspected of Covid-19. Ideally most cause of deaths are caught so the absolute number of deaths are a decent indicator of spread, but they are lagged by probably 7-14 days

Right the tension rod release mechanism isn't shown. The tension rods are chucked away as space junk which the announcer probably doesn't want to talk about. Also agree it's kind of secret sauce. Much simpler than oneweb&#x27

Under UTC time in lower right corner it says 'your device is off by 0.403 seconds'. This is on my android cell phone and is surprising.. wonder where the offset is coming from.

Love that idea of just photoshopping for the ideal ground truth. Instead of white target, could even map a desired digital video file into the ideal target. For more general distortions you could obviate the 'blob' image and inste

IMLE (implicit maximum likelihood estimation) as far as I can tell is a trivial method of parameterizing a random variable distribution and tuning it to make true data (e.g., image) examples more likely. The technique relies on finding nea

How to achieve a productive mentality seems closely tied with individual dopamine and neuroscience factors (e.g. genetics like COMT / rs4680). Maybe these guides should be customized to 23andme results.

The orbital velocity and the ground track velocity only differ by about 6.6% for their 450km orbit, so it's not a big difference. But because they have a relatively circular orbit, you can use the formula sqrt(G*M/R) which gives

How does the implementation of an FPU for this compare? I thought the existing IEEE 754 floating point standard was focused on reduced complexity of addition and multiplication hardware. This seems more complicated.
