Based on the write-up, Samsung has lower quality Iris recognition than could be written by an undergrad in a few hours. I say that, having done so. Most obviously, the system should not tolerate a constant-size pupil, ever. The pupil has mi

That assumes an underdamped system (and I'd be really interested to know if that feedback is generally considered underdamped). In the end, can't we agree that things would stabilize or nearly stabilize in the appropriate equilibr

Based on my experiences, it's less likely "calculator class" and more likely "integrals are done by pressing shift+ln(), then right arrow to enter the limits, then comma followed by the variable" (this is an example

You presume incorrectly. It's a tangled web of federal and state policies, along with the (not exclusively) American fetish for cars and low-density home ownership, which led to the car-centric design. And that's certainly reducti

I'm not sure about what US statistics are available, nor about how many US towns have such rules, but this is often cited as the explanation for why bike shares fail in many Australian cities that would seem to be perfect places for th

From what I'm reading, the 1080ti and 280x both fall right before 250W, so the change shouldn't be significant.

Thanks for responding. I'm afraid I haven't made myself clear; let me see if I can do better. The issue is not the spacing of our metro areas in relation to one another (interregional distances). Rather, we have bad geometry withi

Thanks for the reply. I guess what it comes down to is that a good landlord doesn't want to be exposed to destruction of a property he or she takes pride in, and a good renter doesn't want to get hosed on move-out, jerked around w

Because in the early days cars were not traveling at lethal speeds. Collisions are very rarely fatal to people being hit at speeds below 20mph, and somewhat easier to prevent at those speeds as well. In a real mixed use street, any driver c

I think you meant to put this into a Google search, not a comment.

Your counter argument only makes sense under the assumption that there is no other way to change travel speeds. As others have mentioned, narrow lanes do wonders, as do trees near the roadway and shorter sight lines. The trees are even more

The problem with US public transit is not its interregional distances, but the low density of its regions. Diffuse populations defeat transit. People in those diffuse regions are more likely to utilize cars for midrange travel because the t

Doing so would be too unpopular, Especially in the wide range of cases where speed limits are set too low for the geometry of the road.

IRS penalties for late filing are a portion of taxes owed. Most people don't owe anything (rather, they receive a refund), so there is no penalty.

The different reactions from soon to be ex-residents are worth noting. It's certainly a problem we have in the US. It seems a sure thing that the apartments are quite dingy and faulty plumbing would be frustrating. I can't imagine

While most of what you said is spot on, people often misunderstand what constitutes the super rich group with big tax breaks. It's way less than one percent, because it's the big investment money that's getting out of so much

Another response below correctly answers your question. In business hotels, rates are set to be eligible for corporate booking. Expensing the internet separately is a non-issue for these customers.

I understand what you're saying. And it even does play out with US transportation. But absolutely not with roads! One of the main problems with US roads is our failure to price them correctly, causing everyone to demand usage at peak t

I didn't look into the transmission, but it looks like those engines tend to be about 2600 lb. For comparison, the model S 85kwhr battery is just below half that. So the idea may have more merit for short- and medium- range trucking t

Can someone explain to me how this can be taken seriously? It seems to me like trucks are already weight-limited in a way that cars aren't, so the immense weight of these batteries would hurt a lot for moving stuff.

Is there any reason you didn't include either the Atlantic or the National Review? For US based news, they seem pretty hard to beat if you can bear to give reporters a few hours to digest stories and provide meaningful insight.

NYC's vibrancy is largely a product of its environment, not proof of a better city. In the US, but for a few cities that mostly defeated planners'attempts to suburbanize them (NYC included), all our towns and cities are largely sh

Are you worried that you'll be bored? You certainly shouldn't be. Worried that you have other things fighting for your attention that might be better uses of your time? That's a more personal question.

Is it the writer being confused, or did they add a penalty for incorrect guesses for a few years? I took it in 2010 and am quite confident that AP tests were the only thing doing that at the time.
