Ergonomics, yes, sure. For the sound though, a block of any material strong enough to resist the string tension will be just fine.

I think you're both right. Marketing is very effective, and lots of people are willing to pay a little bit more for a particular brand. On the other hand there's also lots of people who will look for the best value for the money,

Fairly old news at this point. A bit more difficult is growing edible mushrooms along with the plants, for example Boletus edulis , which are symbiotic with oaks and other trees. The difficulty lies in the waiting period, it can easily tak

If you have a variable named `quit`, you would have a different behavior in running a file vs running in the CLI.

Gave it a try for structured data extraction. Tested returning a JSON object from images. The output was correct, and seemed deterministic, although I ran it only 2-3 times on the same image. Main problem is response time: it took about 20-

> it's not happening on our timescale. Talk to anyone over 30 and they'll tell you the climate has already changed. Well anyone that doesn't have a political agenda or shares in ExxonMobil.

You can buy sets of matching luggage. "Funny" story, in a few months we'll be moving a few hundred km north, partly due to the summers being unbearably hot and dry the past few years. Now we're hearing more and more abou

Yes the movie was vaguely inspired by the science. The AMOC has been studied for a long time, including the effects of its possible weakening. Where the movie is firmly in fantasy land of course is in the timeline, where the effects are nea

A lot of younger developers seem to really like this. Not a big fan personally, but you gotta live with the times I suppose. I do draw the line when they start putting them in console outputs though.

Wow, so much negativity, when the app scores really high on things that are supposed to be important here: * Desktop first, no electron crap * Open source and free * Linux first * Subjective, but to me it looks clean If getting all that mea

Chat seems like a really bad way to get patient information. You'll miss out on various cues doctors will use to diagnose you. People can get ashamed of their symptoms and may try to hide them.

They do, there will be a Linux penguin on the supported OSes list if the game has native support for Linux. If the game doesn't have native support, and you buy the game on a Linux machine, it will warn you about possible incompatibi

Same. I've gotten into disagreements with HR over this when hiring for my teams.

For cities where the flight is an 1.5 hours or less high speed rail (300kph) is usually about the same (if not slightly faster) because it's much faster to get in and out. This works even better when the train station is closer to down

Yes, it will likely raise prices. My point/question is whether this will reduce air travel and increase demand for rail.

by nickserv 5mo ago
If it lowers air travel then it's a good thing, since it's probably the only way the US will meaningfully invest in high speed rail.

Isn't the 4 star resort also usually in a country that has at least 50 to 1 difference in purchasing power?

If OP had said "in last 40 years" then yeah sure. But since the middle ages , or 500 years ago, how is that common knowledge?

It's not a problem so long as borrowing costs are low. Now if USD loses reserve status, that could be very problematic, since the US basically spreads its borrowing costs to the entire world.

Citation needed. Also, even if true, a lot is likely due to people leaving the countryside and migrating to the cities during the latter half of the 20th century. To feed these urban populations, an enormous amount of food needs to be impor

Yeah they sold off pretty much their entire motor industry to the Germans (Mini, Bentley, ..), Chinese (Lotus) and Indians (Jaguar, Land Rover). Typical case of short sighted capitalism.

Unlike the EU and the US, the UK doesn't have any major car companies anymore, so there's less of an incentive for them to apply tariffs on Chinese imports.

I don't understand, wouldn't it make it easier?

My grandpa was doing just fine before those newfangled chariots became all the rage. What's wrong with walking?

Yes, there's lots of content on IPv4, and there is also a lot of traffic from India... If India were to turn off IPv4, it would be a great incentive for IPv4-only sites in the US and Europe to add an IPv6 address.

Which is strange given a lot of US airpower is flying out of UK airbases.

Given French companies' past activities, a sizeable under the table payment from CMA CGM wouldn't surprise me.

Ariane 6 started operations less than a year ago, and already development is under way for the next generation. Funding is partly coming from the EU, so the political process has very much started. https://en.wikipedia.org/w
