Anchoring is usually much cheaper/free since you don't get any facilities, whereas staying at the marina costs $$ per night, due to electricity, WiFi, water, restrooms, showers, etc.

A richer hard boiled egg with some texture. I liked it a lot. Ate it with a spoon and some sort of sauce. It was definitely different. Would probably do again.

These are all non-profits that work closely with a university and have basic research as a premise. They are both privately and publicly funded. I think that is different than a private corporation. Having worked in R&D at GM, and curre

Tuition/stipend for grad students and equipment most definitely has overhead, at least from my experience in the UC system.

I've spent a lot of time in both Word and LaTeX writing papers and reports in grad school, and nowadays, strictly use LaTeX. I feel like the author missed some crucial elements as to why people use the latter. First, references, cross-

Engine blocks will almost certainly remain as a cast part, simply due to the production capacity of casting is orders of magnitude higher than additive manufacturing, as well as being relatively cheap. Metal additive manufacturing is curren

Also quantum physics is about as gnarly as it gets. And not many people enter PhD's knowing all they need at the end. I'm doing a PhD at what I would consider a great school (Berkeley), and the quality still varies! People are sma

I use their cloud sync and love it. One of the few subscription services I pay for. I also use the browser extension, which others have pointed out might not be the best, but I think it's better than one to five universal easy to guess

Yeah, I think you kind of hit the problem that people have with this paper, namely, how does Li exist un-ionized on both sides of the battery. They have a figure that shows that based on the amount of S they have in the battery, they can di

Sure, all valid assumptions, but a lot of these are discussed in the paper. If you let me know your email, I can send you a copy. But in response to your points/anyone else who is interested, 1) It's a button or coin cell [1] (hal

I think they start with Li on one side, and a Cu/C/S cathode on the other, and then plate the lithium on the anode. They measure a difference in chemical potentials between cathode and anode, so there is reason for the Li to move,

There are a couple things wrong with what you said, here's just a clarification after I've read the paper and some of the references a few times. 1) The cross section is given in an image in the original article, and explained in

The atoms are manipulated by a scanning tunneling microscope [1], which allows you to both image and manipulate single atoms, as shown in the movie "A Boy and His Atom" [2], also made by IBM. You can make sure there's only on

Microsoft Word - after using LaTeX, especially ShareLaTeX, it's such a pain to write documents in Word that require multiple images, references, or even semi-unique formatting.

If you make that Porsche a 911 R, you can spend half a million dollars used, and it'll look less flashy than even a Turbo S.

Car and Driver just compared another 20 or so cars at their resident Lightning Lap track a few months ago, including a Tesla. The Tesla was not fast, approx. 30 sec slower on a track that fast cars were finishing in the 2:45 range. http:&#

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the rule of thumb is that standard towers can be quieter because unless the SFF computers are passively cooled, larger towers can have larger fans spinning at a slower RPM to move the same amount of air, as well a

I would argue that cars are not extremely risky to modify mechanically - the parts are usually large, almost everything you'd want to do on your car has youtube videos and forum threads with people doing the exact same procedure, and y

There's also the option that papers are written the way they are so that they still remain papers and not books. A five page paper on someone's findings is much easier to read than a 20-30 page paper where field specific knowledge

Did your father publish the research and try to keep the hardware test environment secret? If not, and the research was proprietary for companies, that is messed up. Otherwise, graduate students leaving and taking their work with them, as w

That is exactly what the link/paper says, "By sending an email that repels all but the most gullible the scammer gets the most promising marks to self-select, and tilts the true to false positive ratio in his favor."

Some journals require a lay-person abstract, which I think is very nice.

Are you on the extreme ends of mmr? I have a high rating and rarely get people that don't get along. On the other hand, with the introduction of international ranked, maybe they shelved this for a consolidated pool.
