That doesn't explain it though. Why would Dropbox accept that low opening price from the bank?

That is not the meaning of the Allegory of the Cave at all! The metaphor is that human experience is limited by our senses (like living in the cave) and so to understand eternal, absolute truths you need to use pure reason (leaving the cave

In many cities, UPS tells its drivers to park illegally and then pays the resulting tickets in bulk. It's a cost of doing business for them. This cost is limited by the number of parking enforcement vehicles. If the cost were increased

When they are mixed they produce a beat frequency. When it is sampled at a lower frequency only the beat frequency remains. I may be wrong but I think a filter would have the same effect in this case. My point is that any number of inputs c

Couldn't they obtain a 7khz tone by mixing any two tones seperated by 7khz and applying a low-pass filter? I don't see how this proves anything. And the 155dB number cited by the Canadian government would require considerable (hun

I think the problem is that Python 3 is a different enough language that it's hard to consider it an upgrade, adapting existing code to it really is a port (although six and __future__ help). And if you're going to port, it's

This is a completely misleading headline. The Patriot missile was not effective at destroying the Scud [0]. The DoD initially claimed successful intercepts when the missile detonated near the Scud, but it rarely, if ever, actually destroyed

Yes. I recently bought frames from Zenni and paid $30 total, including an upcharge for an oleophobic AR coating (something I have not seen available offline). These were 1.50 index cr-39 which is fine for my light prescription. But higher i

Before trying to draw a conclusion, you should read this article by one of the (alternate) jurors who lays exactly how and why the prosecution fell short of proving the charges they made. It had absolutely nothing do with the identity of th

It doesn't seem so. I think they're just switching the internal processors that do LBA translation, error correction, bad-block marking etc over to RISC. And then their marketing department took that decision and ran with it in a

This is such an underappreciated aspect of code stewardship. There are powerful tools for source control and archiving. But ensuring that state of code could actually be built at an arbitrary date in the future is so much less assured.

This is a normal part of pilot training. I think it's less common in large aircraft but for small planes it's not uncommon.

What is the actual value of entry points over just marking a script +x and putting somewhere on the path? All I see is a bunch of added complexity.

But it was Congress that forced the creation of ULA. Both Boeing and Lockheed were planning to leave the launch business and leave the US with nothing (except the Shuttle). Launch is an ugly business, you have big fixed costs but very lumpy

I think a big part of McMaster's model is to be able to put a very high price on things, knowing that for business customers the time saved by having such a well-organized inventory is more than worth it. They also white-label almost e

It's rather unclear whether this exploit is related to the one the SA thinks they have found, and at the time SA published their article it was unknown whether any actual exploit existed--the only real public information that SA had in

Sony uses a mirrorless specific format with the lens mount closer to the focal plane than would be possible with a DSLR. This has some nice benefits for the optical design; you're removing a constraint that happens to be particularly p
