What is the point of a central hub anyway? It doesn't make much sense unless you are sending the package across the country.

Yes. Look at the setup/calibration involved with Soundbar type audio systems.

This is an interesting extension of the ideas from this paper by the same author/s http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/vidmag/ .

Are you sure? In the article it looks like it's a direct quote from Graeber.

I think actuary is a poor example. Graeber himself would might correct himself if he was reminded of what he just said. It's probably a waste of time to hone in on that particular off the cuff statement. There are still plenty of jobs

Difficulty and regulatory requirements are not the same thing. The difficulty of berthing with the ISS is technically quite low. There is a single object to contend with (the ISS) of which the full parameters are known. There are no other o

I agree with you. I've followed the advancements from automakers like Mercedes (who also put their tech in trucks). Highway driving and parking in highly static environments is at an acceptable level. But that doesn't mean the pro

I once used over 500GB on a university research server simply using MATLABs backslash (linesr system solver) operator when processing a single image. I accidentally forgot to scale the image down from original resolution of 5MP. I woke up t

Could the absence of a medium also be considered an insulator? The description of Thermionic emission on Wikipedia ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermionic_emission ) seems general enough that things like rubber and v

> Electrons move more slowly in a solid than in a vacuum My understanding is that electrons wouldn't move at all in a vacuum because they require a conductor.

Their approach minimises the total variation of the geographic location for each person with other the people for which there they have reciprocal mentions. Essentially it's minimising the sum_k of abs(l_i - l_k) where l_i is the locat

by sjtrny 12y ago
Interesting approach but I feel it lacks some robustness since reciprocal mentions do not always correlate with similar spatial location. Further the optimisation seems rather heuristic. I would suggest adopting LADMPSAP for the optimisatio

I feel the same way. It is infuriating how hard it is to determine what is actually going on in the mind of another.

Does anyone have an explanation for why she can tell a dissociatve episode is about to happen? It strikes me as really odd.

Teensy and Maple are software compatible with Arduino.

by sjtrny 12y ago
I'm not sure why anyone would buy an Arduino considering products like Teensy 3.1 or Maple. Maybe the slightly lower cost is what is keeping Arduino alive.

by sjtrny 12y ago
Yes.

Rubbish. Almost everything is recycleable. The cost of recycling almost everything at the moment is just massively lower than dumping it.

Most things your microwave aren't so flat though. Usually they have a bit of height which reduces the uneven heating somewhat. But even for heating flat items (such as Naan) I haven't noticed any uneven heating with my giant Panas

I'll believe it when I see it. At this point it's just vapourware.
