NZ takes in 50k and have a population of 4mm. So 1 per 80 population. US takes in 1mm per 300mm population, or 1 per 300. NZ takes proportionately much more than the US. A similar calculation can be done for immigrants per area of land.

I built a service (~10mm users at peak) which was designed from the ground up to scale, around 2002. When the numbers did grow we just sat back and watched it pretty much. Even given this, I completely agree with you. That's why I now

There is much discussion here regarding quantum efficiency (QE). Keep in mind that figures for sensors are generally _peak_ QE for a given colour filter array element. These can be quite high like 60-70%. But - this is an 'area under t

Super simple - turn your worst anti-evangelist into your biggest supporter. For the value of a used, possibly defective device with a $99 retail (therefore costing probably $20-35 to produce). It's hard to explain, but I've lived

I have pretty much the same story (but 4 years) and lived in Sonora and Nayarit. I have close friends living in Sinaloa (expats of 20 years). I now live in Guanajuato, and the only crime I've heard of first or second hand in the years

Its hard to tell because they change pricing based on so many other factors relating to browser usage history. Try an aggregator with the same query in both a normal tab and a private tab after doing a bunch of googling for the destination.

It's sad so many people put in all the effort of a vegan diet, then end up with worse health outcomes. On the other hand, a vegan diet based on whole foods, not processed like oils and flours, and avoiding too much omega-6 oil and suga

I worked with a guy who had previously interned at Daimler (Mercedes) in Germany working on self driving cars, although it wasn't called that - I don't remember the phrase he used. This was in 2005.

No one here interested in the concept of not having direct human interaction for 27 years? Regardless of how he achieved it? There is much to learn from this case. I suspect only a few handfulls of humans in history have completed that epic

The specifications from the client are quite particular, and usually only one or a few cameras meets the spec. The computers often are owned by the company renting the gear, where the end customer pays for the camera rental. So it's no

Also the camera rental cost goes to the client. The computers to process are generally owned by the company doing the work. Big difference. I will regularily spend $1-2k for cameras for ~1 week, and pass that on, but still use our own gear

We use 3D printing extensively, for large sized parts, and there are very few options out there. Consider buying a few machines that can do very large parts. We would use you literally today if you could do that. It's a very underserve
