Long time osmand user here. Hey, osmand is cool for offline navigation, but its router has always been either mediocre or non-functional.
Google Maps have a nice router, but the route agreed before departing should not change mid-route. When driving, we really should not have to fiddle with the phone. This is a stupid idea.
Can't we have ordinary and useful length units, please?
... but diamonds are forever good for cutting steel.
Not quite. The temperature at the cutting edge gets really high, and the iron reacts with the diamond's carbon, shortening the tool life. Diamond cutting inserts are then mostly used with non-ferrous metals and composites. For steel one would either use tungsten carbide or CBN (cubic boron nitride) inserts.
He's not. Even if the volume of "all the nuiclear waste" (who has exact numbers anyway?) would be smaller than the olympic pool it would reach critical mass before the pool was filled.
Cool! Does it mean we can harvest energy from it?
Cool. Let the variables be any type they want, instead of forcing a role onto them. And type cast is just violence.
ever seen how a crab shell cracker works?
I have this horrifying vision of something like a coin/key getting in there while folding and then hearing an awful cracking noise
and similarly, even some grit/dirt/sand would seem problematic.... this is not the phone you take to Tatooine
These designs do not let the internal screen touch itself; a bevel outside it closes first and keeps reasonable gap on the screen.
From TFA:
"Recent modeling studies of shoreline adaptation and SLR in San Francisco Bay have demonstrated that shoreline protection using engineered structures like seawalls can cause amplification of the tides by reducing frictional damping in shallow areas along the perimeter of the bay and enhancing reflection of the incoming tidal wave at the shoreline (26, 28, 29). These changes in tidal amplitude can influence the magnitude and spatial distribution of peak water levels and inundation around the bay."
So it is sort of a dynamic, second order effect.
(a) There's no (or little) data yet on if infection confers immunity.
(b) If infection does confer immunity, there's no (or little) data yet on how long that immunity lasts.
(a) There are 1 million already cured and still no signals of recurrence. It is not like recurrence is being ignored. It is being looked for, and it is not being found. So statistics says that some sort of immunity is actually granted.
(b) Sure, but for SARS and MERS coronaviruses it is known to last a few years, and next year we will have the vaccine.
For coding I would argue that 4K is better than full-HD. Can browse and edit multiple interdependent source files side by side with less brain stress.
Ahh, but methane is a MUCH more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.
The (much) bigger radiative forcing of methane is already accounted for in the 3.5 times influence of CO2
Exactly. No ordinary battery would power a radio actively listening for a command for years, and still run a shredder after that.
I call the "a few years ago I secretly built a shredder into a painting" bullshit.
If Earth were a larger planet then the L2 point would be darker with no direct sunlight.
Is it? If Earth were a larger planet then the L2 point would be farther, assuming similar Earth density.
Currently, we have only verified Meltdown on Intel processors. At the moment, it is unclear whether ARM and AMD processors are also affected by Meltdown.
Here, FTFY.
... in 2039, and you buy one, you'll still be able to drive it 500,000 in France.
Only if you find gas stations. Because most of them would close in just a couple of years.
A possible solution, only practical for small messages, would be a merge of a public message board with encryption. You would be able to decrypt only the messages sent to you, among the hundreds that you would have to download - just to verify which ones you can decrypt.
In such environment there is no open metadata identifying "To" and "From." You encrypt the message to "To" and it is added to a group of messages.
Of course there must be methods to limit the groups sizes, and to allow you to find which group to access. Both doesn't seems to be that difficult.
