From experience in New Zealand, where prostitution is also legal for citizens and permanent residents, it doesn't do much to increase human trafficking. I'm not going to pretend it's all clean - certainly there's underag

Cuttlefish are weirder than that, the current theory is their W-shaped pupil causes chromatic aberration on the retina and they can use that to detect colour. http://news.berkeley.edu/2016/07/05/weird-pupils-l

You can see a fair bit in the Cephalopod order, from the Nautilus ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambered_nautilus ) which has no lens, the Cuttlefish with monochromatic vision through to the Octopus. It's inter

Nah, we'll just put them in to stasis and send them out on a space ship. There's no way future generations would wake them up for their own gains.

bitcode is indeed a thing, its a file format for LLVM IR https://lowlevelbits.org/bitcode-demystified/ It's not really a bytecode as it's not interpreted, but that's debatable.

Traditionally an extradition treaty would require the crimes to have occurred on US soil. We’re slowly figuring out how this applies to the digital age.

Wow, in New Zealand on a similar public system it's quite different. Having had chronic pain myself I've been through this. - Book a GP appointment. Generally get in the same day (costs $20-$80 depending on your GP. I have private

It's the feedback and counter arguments that are often lacking, and being unwilling to admit the decision was wrong. I've been in this situation a few times and it's very hard to push back on a decision that's been &#x27

That still makes no sense. AWS and DigitalOcean both allow for static IP addresses that can be migrated between instances. There's no reason for crazy in-place upgrades.

Same as in most tv shows, they skip the boring bits. Travel times are mentioned occasionally and they are consistent with ships that can do a brachistochrone orbit at a constant 0.3 or 1f acceleration. This would be a few days between most

The timestamp would work fine, but if you do a dense_rank you could easily include the number of events per message. They're not doing that in the example but perhaps the application they're basing the blog on does.

And for some extra context, this is a horticultural practice to improve yield by forcing resources away from flowering and fruiting. This could be to produce fewer larger fruit or to encourage plant growth.

That's not surprising at all, and would be required even if Buran was developed completely independently to STS. Without that manoeuvre the engines would thrust off-axis due to the side-mounted payload. It's easier to compensate f

by sitharus 9y ago
That's because Buran was built as a direct response to the Space Shuttle. Apparently the Soviets couldn't imagine civilian uses for such a large reusable vehicle so built their own to find out what it was for. There are also signi

Incandescent bulbs certainly don't care about frequency, and I can't think of a frequency-dependant component in 40s florescent lamps. The starters and ballast from that era were pretty simple, unless there's some difference

It depends on the aircraft. The FAA requires (and therefore every airline that wants to fly to the US has) fuel dumping if the aircraft cannot perform a go-around (aborted landing) after an engine failure. A modern twin-engine aircraft can

That I can't say. Perhaps Perth was a much better equipped airfield. If you're going to hang around in the air for two hours you may as well get somewhere better able to handle your emergency. The chances of a dual engine failure

At at guess, because the maximum landing weight of a A330 is 187,000 kg but the maximum takeoff weight is 242,000 kg. They'd have to burn off fuel before landing or risk crushing the landing gear. The A330 doesn't have fuel dumpin

It's not a requirement, just a specification of minimum bit rate. Most movies are still presented at 24fps because higher frame rates apparently look different. The Hobbit was released in 60 fps and the reception by critics was mixed.

by sitharus 9y ago
That's correct, but I've seen so many recipes on the internet that let the jam cool so the jars don't crack. That's ok for making a small amount to eat quickly, but for proper preservation you really need to do it hot.

I'm in Auckland in a modern well insulated apartment. If I was in a normal nz house I'd expect to triple that, since we have a long distance relationship with insulation.

Wow, here in NZ I pay 30c/day in fixed charges and around 25c/kWh. Last week's bill was NZ$25 for 90kWh. Nowhere near as cheap as the US but I'll take it.

That's not correct, there have been several releases of radioactivity from US military vessels. This is all prior to the late 1980s, since the mid 1970s many controls and monitors were added to prevent releases. Personally I'd att

For point 1, if you're writing a multi-tenant app it's good practice to put the tenant id on every table and always filter on it. This lets you be doubly sure of fetching the correct user's data, leaking user data is worse th

I was referring to the standard falcon 9, but you're quite right. It'll be impressive if SpaceX manage second stage recovery.
627.
by sitharus 9y ago
Something that can withstand the acceleration of a mass driver and the accompanying atmospheric heating while still being light enough to achieve orbit would be quite the feat.
628.
by sitharus 9y ago
All new falcon 9s are like this, it's the 'full thrust' variant. It's also how they have the fuel to land.
629.
by sitharus 9y ago
The first stage never makes it to orbit, it's on a ballistic trajectory in to the Atlantic Ocean. Landing from a short hop is a much easier operation than from orbit. So far SpaceX have abandoned second stage recovery as too hard.

In this case it's the customer that is removed from the market. Nobody (deliberately) buys two antivirus products. The effect is the same, nobody's going to develop and market a 'peach' antivirus product since the users
