It "fundamentally works", but it's so crappy that it doesn't work in practice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking#Cookware You are not crazy.

Funny I spent one and a half hour to open a bank account in person 2 days ago. Everything was freaking slow in the bank too.

The topic is exposing spying operations in a bigger narrative of victimhood.

1) the whole point would be to prosecute it, not "discuss it". It's allowed to be discussed to the extent that nothing comes out of it, hence the classification of the details. 2) Remember that the narrative of the current US

Remember that the CIA did worse (like droning children in Yemen), be careful what you wish for.

Yeah, but there are interesting criteria: an abstract definition for theoretical re-construction of reference artifacts(I don’t know if anyone has ever actually re-built a reference without comparing it to a previously existing reference du

I’m curious how people invite other kids over for kid parties. That kid can’t drink soda, this one is forbidden screens, this one is no gluten, that one is no meat. When you have a baby, does the hospital give you a giant list of stuff you

I am so skeptical of this advice, I have been burned by accountants too.

I am highly skeptical of this claim, it's either for higher accuracy of military stuff, or an internet connexion to get a key or the ephemerides or something. But nobody is sending signal to a satellite 21000km from the surface straigh

Yeah corruption is weird in the US, I live in Arizona, I see adverts paid by the monopoly utility where police and fire fighters in uniform declare themselves against some environmental measure. Will they retaliate against the zones that do

Attitude control is not an example of using quaternions for something else than rotations.

I my wife liked my joke that you can't say that they are crushing the minorities and complain that they are boosting the 1%.

how is that an example of using quaternion for something else than rotations?

by nraynaud 8y ago
As far as I know they are also only doing SLERP for attitude control.

by nraynaud 8y ago
I had a question about quaternions: does anyone use them for anything else than multiplying a rotation by a scalar? In particular, it feels a bit like a waste of coding space to always use unit ones.

it's a bit complicated, because the US is also increasing the threat that those countries are under. With a military presence in 100 around the globe, the biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons, the diplomacy of a punk band, and operatio

$3.5M mobilized capital per job, when is it more efficient to just give handouts to random people? :) But I think it's extremely misleading to talk about jobs, we are all here to destroy jobs and concentrate wealth, and some of us are

well, when 100,000 Iraqis where killed for 9/11, I didn't see that much outrage. Those waiters are on an open job market. But I would just change the law: set a normal minimum wage and advertise tax included prices. And probably n

Yeah, and for a really capitalistic reason: you can compare a night at the restaurant with a night at the movie to allocate your budget, wheras in the US you have to know the tax on movie tickets, the tax on food (good luck, theses are defi

I agree, you can't complain that every communication is locked and scripted and then try to hurt someone who has tried to be as candid as possible. It's just pushing towards a more and more unauthentic world.

It's not always lying, that's why they created a unit to look into things when they decide to target someone. The trick is asking a lot of information on the forms (to increase the risk of mistakes), and then arguing that any disc
