Suppose a square city has 100000 rental houses, and they all rent for $1000. The city triples in each direction, causing area to increase by a factor of 9. The original houses now rent for $4000, but there are 800000 new houses that rent fo

"up to" Those heavy ones would be evenly distributed in the bottom of the hold, down below the water line. Low-weight ones are on top, for ship stability.

No, just change the density. The oil industry uses cesium formate. It's relatively non-toxic. The brine can have density of 19.2 pounds per gallon. (2.3 grams/mL) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium#Petroleu

It can lift at least 56.8 to 62.5 tons, depending on your definition of tons. The heavy containers have been placed on the bottom of the ship for better stability, leaving the lightest ones on top.

Wikipedia says: As of 2016, the Mi-26 still holds the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale world record for the greatest mass lifted by a helicopter to 2,000 metres (6,562 ft) – 56,768.8 kilograms (125,000 lb) on a flight in 1982. That is

That would depend on the journey. One extreme is a ship going from Egypt to Egypt, with nearly 100% of the desired journey being the canal. Another possibility is Perth to Miami. That one can easily go either way around Antarctica, and if t

That is actually a decent idea. The part of the bow causing the most trouble is a bulge that sticks out to the front. Shipping companies sometimes add or remove the bulges as needs change regarding ship speed. That suggests that it could be

The weight of every container is known. Placement on the ship is carefully determined by computer so that the ship does not capsize or split. The heavy ones would be at the bottom.

Transporting heavy equipment is really difficult and slow. Suppose we want the very best. Let's put Bagger 293 by the stern and Bagger 288 by the bow. Come up with a plan to transport those from Germany to Egypt in a few days. For refe

3.5 kids per adult then. So for just 3.5 kids, you'd need to pay 100% of a salary plus all the extras of running a business. (insurance, legal, finance, advertising, sewage, electricity, food, toys, etc.) Given the overhead, you'd

They balance their budget by skipping the expensive day care. There just isn't any way for a normal person to get day care for a family. It isn't even legal for a day care to have the same adult-to-kid ratio as a family can have,

That isn't the reality in the USA. I know lots of people who have done this. Many of them have ordinary jobs. One with a pair of kids has the man earning about $60,000 today, with a career that switches back and forth between making co

With 12 kids (soon 13) and working from home, I find that there isn't much time when everybody goes to bed. Some wake early, and some stay up late. For me, 7 kids was the point at which I could no longer effectively maintain procps.

The trouble dates back to the original standardization of C. An expectation of pre-standard C was left out of the standard: behavior of things like integer overflow could be determined by looking at the CPU documentation. It would have been

The behavior is hostile and dangerous, but legal. If undefined behavior would happen during an execution of a program, then that entire execution of the program is undefined behavior from the start. Since all possible executions of this pro

If 4chan can cause an issue with the "OK" symbol, "main" should be easy for them to mess with. C and C++ will just have to change, along with street names and large water pipes.

If you give them a real email account as they sign up, they'll have one. So for example, I want to sign up at tuti.study and you generate a random email address like j9u6iilejixzs3f6ba9k6stoo@tuti.study for me. Then I would have a real

They don't trust you. What might you do with that email address, aside from sending email explicitly requested (opt-in and desired) by the user? Too many people have betrayed trust. This is why we can't have nice things.

It really is different. The existence of unlimited pay-as-you-go care means that you could possibly raise the funds. In systems where all care is state-administered and an attempt to pay for more care would be criminalized as bribery, you&#
