4ms is 1.4 meters (4'6") of sound in air. That's less than half the length of a concert grand, so at most it would double the latency as experienced by the pianist's ears.

There are no impartial sources. Oryx estimates a ratio of nearly 3:1, but do you class that as impartial?

Yes. Given the regrettable failure of Wandel durch Handel, Russia would have attacked sooner or later. As it is, expending mostly obsolete European materiel in a trade for Russian materiel at an extremely favorable ratio, in the course of

It's the reverse of a point mass sliding up a hemispherical dome. It takes infinite time to reach the top.

A ball rolls through the bottom of the bowl and out the other side. It doesn't come to rest.

Sometimes you can duplicate the tab then open the detail view in the duplicate. I agree, it's ridiculous.

It depends on the level and domain of your language. A low-level language can get by with just byte arrays. A mid-level language should probably handle at least some encodings, and provide codepoint access. A high-level language should hand

You do it at the Planck temperature (1.4e32 K), obviously, giving one Planck mass (22 micrograms) per nat, or 15 ug/b. This probably has some physical relevance, but I'm not sure what.

No. You go to the mainland, or, colloquially, the continent.

If you zoom out they are very recognizably QR codes. A commenter made the point that what you're seeing in that case is the low frequency component of the image. Kind of like the Marilyn Monroe / Albert Einstein illusion.

> Maybe the language should work the other way around and everything should be constexpr by default and functions should opt out of constexpr-ness, but that's 40 years too late for C++. That's how lambdas behave in C++, so it&#

It's what's left when you remove any sensory experience. Things happen, and when I wake I have the short term memory that they happened. You could describe it as narrative, but that would imply that there's language involved,

Complete aphantasic here. I dream, but not in images or any kind of sensory experience.

The UK elects a parliament, and parliament appoints a government. So there's an extra layer.

Sure. A heat pump only needs to be 170% efficient to make back the generation losses. As for infrastructure losses, natural gas distribution has leaks as well. Also, if the power plant is integrated into a CHP system to heat nearby househol

If you don't want an apartment block on your lot, you don't have to build one! But if your neighbor wants to build one, what moral right do you have to stop them?

That's assuming you'd just eat less, instead of eating the same and burning it off at the gym. Or getting fat.

Because the first dropped vertical is too long. The left hand angle is beta plus alpha, so it should be ninety degrees, but instead it's an obtuse angle.

That was urban-rural migration.

When? I can't think of any examples of forced rural-urban migration other than the Highland Clearances in the UK, which isn't really comparable.

Neither of those had anything to do with moving people from the countryside into the cities, as far as I'm aware. The Chinese Communist Party is still trying to suppress rural-urban migration (e.g., via hukou).

Or perhaps they deserve to be treated like adults and decide for themselves what infrastructure they want to pay for.

The majority of head injuries cycling are to the side, from falling at low speed. Certainly if someone is going at 30mph or above they should be wearing a helmet. But only a minority of cyclists will ever get anywhere near that speed. >

It's just as well that you aren't making policy, then. People's perceptions make a huge difference to behavior, whether they're well founded or not.

The rest of the industry is paying. "Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.". RIP the $250k FDIC limit, I guess.
