I'm saying that in general, Americans are uninformed with regards to geography/geopolitics. You could tell them that Turkey borders the Black Sea, the Mediterranean sea, and controls the Bosporous and Darndanelles straits and lot

The motivation would be to remove Erdogan who is moving towards a "less democratic Turkey" and replacing him with a president that is more friendly to the US. Influencing the following election would probably happen as well. A ne

What I meant was, out of a country of 300 million people, basically 0% had anything to do with it. Pretty much every company that has any business or trade that goes through Turkey had nothing to do with it. The number of people that want

For the most part, America had nothing to do with the coup attempt and had no idea that it was about to happen. Honestly, the majority of Americans couldn't find Turkey on a map even if you centered the map on Turkey. However, I cert

In hardware, implementing a backdoor that provides a reasonable level of functionality is probably going to cause a visible change to the layout/routing, kind of like a software backdoor is going to change the hash. I say probably be

You can choose whatever impedance you want since you're going to have to isolate the analog signal from the digital usb in your solution anyway. Or the usb-c to 3.5mm adapter can have a matching circuit in it made up of cheap passive

A usb-c to 3.5mm adapter will almost certainly be inconvenient. It has to plug into the usb-c port, which means that it will protrude from the phone, and the 3.5mm plug will stick out past that. Integrating it into the phone was much bett

Try the Sahara desert. Inhospitable places all across the world meet your criteria. Oh wait, you want a place that's nice to live and has civilization nearby so you can buy food but yet somehow people haven't discovered it yet.

Ummm... you aren't allowed to have a nuclear powerplant or nuclear anything in the entire country. That's the only law peculiar to NZ that is at the top of my mind.

I like how excited people get over this. Version names mean nothing about the software, but some companies - Apple, Google, Ubuntu - have made a game out of version names. One of our internal products is named after 14,000+ ft mountains i

Perhaps every robot must be tied to a person, and each person can only own one robot (or some limited amount). Then if a company wants to build up a robot workforce they would have to lease from robot owner/operators. I imagine a mode

Excellent demos. One suggestion for the creator/maintainer of the demo pages: It would be nice if the imageDiff demo had two pre-made images to do a diff on. I spent a few minutes taking a shot with my webcam and then another with m

tl;dr: I recommend learning J. If you just want to play around (no commercial use) you can download kdb+ from here: https://kx.com/software-download.php but you only get the 32-bit version for free, so keep your DB under 4

None of the results on the first page of google contain more than the first few sentences of the article. I think I got the gist of the article from those two sentences, but it is kind of annoying to not have the details or nuance that I&#

Falls apart right here: "Imagine David. David is an airline captain lincenced to fly B737, B747-400, B-747-800 and any B777" There may be pilots who have flown 737, 747, and 777 before, but there are none (or practically none) wh

To me, $129k isn't surprising since it is only going to be bought by researchers with big budgets. Small-timers will still build 3x GTX980 systems for under $5k. 3.2 KILOwatts sounded insane to me, but I suppose you'll have your

OpenCL runs on Nvidia GPUs, so you could do an apples to apples comparison on this system.

Voltaire is also attributed to saying that (in French of course). General Patton said it differently, and I quite like his take since he adds the aspect of time to it: "A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than

Subaru has the best overall value with their Eyesight system when considered with the rest of the car IMHO. It's why I bought my Forester (not in the price range of the Civic). Definitely not self driving, but adaptive cruise control

This reminds me of a family card game we played when I was younger called Rook. It was very similar to bridge in that you played with a partner, bid for a contract/trump, and table talk was not allowed. We did allow non-verbal forms

While it does sound silly for a grocery store to have a facebook page, several stores make good use of facebook/twitter/etc to offer coupons and encourage people to go to their store. My mom and sister are the primary shoppers in

This advice should be given to everyone considering a MBA. I think the actual biggest flaw from this write-up is that it was written by a dropout (the caption on his picture states that he is a "former student" and not "grad

No, it is an actual 64 bit system. There is a huge difference between a CPU that can run 64 bit code and just hasn't had any compiled for it and a CPU that will never be able to run 64 bit code. As the RasPi foundation investigates th

I'm pretty sure it's the same rule that outlaws insider trading. If the analysts and investment bankers talked to each other they could potentially cook up some crazy schemes: "Hey Joe, I just invested someone's money i
