Were they? Or were they worried that their characters would be the ones given 4 bytes, and unifying means not squabbling with China and Korea over who goes first? It's not like Japan was not a technical center at the time. Shift-JIS is

Power consumption through an asic is P=CfV^2 aka power is capacitance times frequency times voltage squared. So power does scale linearly with frequency. When you gate on/off portions of a chip, you are changing the capacitance.

>>> the signs were removed because the glaciers hadn't even shrunk. Except the same article explains how the glaciers have shrunk. It's not secondary, it's core to the FUD argument made.

Skepticism is not automatically bad faith, and I really try to make that point clear when I say that most flat earthers are not arguing in bad faith, although their worldview seems to sustain a massive conflict with reality. I would even sa

What about bad-faith skepticism, like cigarettes-cause-cancer skeptics and global warming skeptics? From what I can see, good faith skepticism makes science sturdier, but in bad faith it seduces the less knowledgable and burns the time of t

Checking and savings debit cards, plus an HSA card add 3 more. Sure, why do I need my savings account in my apple pay? Why did I put the plastic savings card into my physical wallet? Because that's where all of my other plastic cards a

It is the subject of the article. My best faith reading of the original comment was that it decries the arbitrary nature of platinum - if we are calling it a $trillion, why not make it out of anything? But the debt ceiling is itself a legal

Because the law says that platinum coins may be minted with an arbitrary value and says nothing about coins made of PLA. Sorry, was your question rhetorical?

I think this is an interesting case where people just want different things, and so the thing that they want is "better". Some people really just want Python+extras and don't want to worry about getting a fortran compiler. Co

You were probably downvoted for being incorrect rather than being antivax. Either way I'm not certain how it relates to the article. Viral load being the same doesn't mean that hospitalization rates or mortality rates are.

In my American public school, and likely where the parent is from, there are not mixed-grade lunches, clubs, or any classes, until around 9th grade or 14ish years old. Interactions with teachers and faculty is extremely limited by the ratio

It's not that much revenue because the marginal cost of an individual chip is very low. Given that apple has plenty of silicon capacity, throwing away say 5-10% of chips that come off the line is likely cheaper than trying to build a

You are misunderstanding the Texas law. There is intentionally not a criminal statute being violated because Texas does not want the law to be overturned in court.

I cook with my carbon steel somewhat often, and it seems to have built up a nice thin black layer that keeps most things from sticking. Cleaning is a breeze, some dish soap and a couple scrubs. None of the black layer comes off. Rice does n

Because rice will still stick to the cast iron and enamel pans? People don't just choose PTFE because they are lazy. I tried a carbon steel, cast iron, and "oiled enamel" and rice stuck to all of them.
