Sometimes "nobody doing it" is the correct answer. It might not be economically viable for the USA to grow strawberries. We can import strawberries or find something else to eat. In the long-term, automation may help. We can also

Colleges are not interested in that. Accreditation won't allow the required changes. Of course, accreditation is controlled by the existing members of the club; colleges don't want accreditation to allow radical change. Aside from

You can buy them new and they don't work. I've come to assume that the commonly available (typical retail store) CO detectors are a fraud.

Both methods are buggy, but the second is also needlessly complicated. The first possible bug is aliasing. The type of reg_name and DeviceControlAddress are not given, so it is possible there isn't a bug. The second bug relates to memo

Two others that look like bugs: 1. The CPU does a buffer overflow when reading the array of bits used to determine IO permission for instructions like "in" and "out". Every OS which supports the feature has to add an ext

Trouble is, C was that language. Lots of people came to depend on this. The world needs a language with this ability. The replacement is often "gcc with inline assembly" or "gcc with lots of __attribute__ extensions such as _

It mostly isn't legal, though gcc explicitly promises to support it and Microsoft's compiler doesn't even do the optimizations that would cause trouble.

I like tilling, but it requires lots of diesel fuel and it increases evaporation. The future is probably robotic weed picking. That still requires fuel, but perhaps not as much.

They don't have a monopoly on that. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

To some extent yes, but barely. Basing the budget on real estate value makes two incorrect assumptions: 1. city employees and contractors spend 100% of their money on real estate 2. city employees and contractors are immediately affected --

"Arabian Gulf" is ambiguous. It could mean the Persian Gulf, or it could mean the Red Sea.

It is absurd that general change in the real estate market should change the tax revenue of the city. It doesn't naturally relate to the income of residents, the need for city services, or the cost to supply city services. When the tax

Neither site is ideal, even restricting choices to the USA. For polar orbit, obviously northern Alaska is proper. This minimizes the amount of east-west movement that must be cancelled out. For more typical orbits, being near the equator is

You'll love this I'm sure. It fits your definition of "progressive" nicely. https://i.redd.it/48eammnzuav01.jpg

Normal bacon is out. You can get bacon without nitrites/nitrates. Watch out for hidden nitrates/nitrites though, for example "celery juice". Celery picks up lots of nitrites/nitrates from the fertilizer it is given.

This is .000018 inches off of the lake each day. Per year, it is .0066 inches. That is about 1/6 of a millimeter. At that rate, the lake contains 508198 years worth of water. Thinking in terms of human evolution here... that is a decen

One way to interpret this is to focus on the pay, and just how wonderful it is. The other way is to ask why they must pay so much? Alphabet must be a relatively awful place to work. Something is very wrong if they pay is this high.

Right, and I suspect the trouble is this: normal people often get their saturated fat from things like hot dogs cooked over a fire. If that sort of thing is the source (rather than coconuts and hard-boiled eggs), then it comes with harmful

It will be, because birth control will affect the evolution of our mental traits. Given the high effectiveness of birth control, this evolution is likely to be rapid.

It's fine if you work 4-day weeks. (36 to 44 hours) With a 5-day week, you're working 45 to 55 hours. That wears on you. It could be OK if the pay is unusually good.

We test for rollover protection. We don't test for the ability to avoid crashes by seeing well. Unsurprisingly, we get what we test for.

The usual assumption seems to be that it was 100% black. Fundamentally, a lynching is just a fancy way to refer to mob justice. People get frustrated with the slow and methodical justice system. Rules of evidence can and do let many perpetr

It has a small interior. When I tried Ford sedans at a dealer last summer, the Taurus had the least head room. The others were bad too; it seems modern cars have shrunk. I had a Taurus from the 1980s and it was fine.

They don't know how much they are willing to offer. You wouldn't get much out of a salary answer like this: "Each interviewer grades you as 1 to 5. We sum that up, then multiply by $10,000." Even knowing the number of in

The orientation is determined by the seed crystal. You can choose whatever you want. There will of course be long and skinny pieces. These will be much easier to recycle than the unused portions around the edge of a circular wafer; they nee

You could slice a cylinder the other way. That would give you rectangles, with the short dimension varying. I'm not so sure you'd save any space, but recycling the unused portion might be more reasonable to do.

The funny thing about 54mm is that this is pretty close to the original gate pitch, back when we had to use vacuum tubes or relays.

The reality is that the house is sold to cover the cost of a nursing home, or that a reverse mortgage is used to convert that value into living expenses, or that the older generation dies with home equity loans that were taken out to cover

Reddit has special code to discriminate against /r/The_Donald. Without that special code, /r/The_Donald would still be all over the front page. Sometimes the truth leaks out, for example in the interface that advertisers
