If the movie is turning boring, I see screens light up like fireflies. If te action is really good or requires a fair amount of attention, I see minimal usage. Someone should start a data mining company around this behavior.

For welfare payments and general benefit payments like SS. For the same reasons: many of these people are unbanked. And its a lot more efficient than mailing paper checks. Some kind of government cards may used anywhere. Others are restricted to pre-approved supermarkets and doctor offices, etc.
I dont think the government cards have onerous fees on the distribution end. But a recipient might be hit my ATM withdrawal fees.
If you look at number of households mention in article. Underbanked means they usually just have savings acount and not credit card nor checking account. Credit blacklists or high fees are the culprit.
I would think one first degree murder would be sufficient, or just all three. These mega-cases otherwise cost tens of millions and take years.
Ditto for the Colorado theater shooter. The judge announced yesterday they will summon a 5000 person jury pool. In that county you have a 2% chance of getting a summons. There are a 150 charges against the guy. Just one first degree conviction would get him Death.
The 2012 survey, the most recent from the MIT career office, has 25% of SB grads entering finance, investment banking or consulting. During boom years the total has been higher.

The Curiostiy RAD experiement Principal Investigation gave a talk about Martian radiation 6/26 in Denver.
- 90% of the enroute radiation was from cosmic rays, the rest from solar flares. However a large solar storm could exceed cosmic ray levels.
- The eight month trip resulted in over 300 milliseverts of radiation, about one third of the recommend lifetime human dose.
- The thin Martian atmosphere greatly attenuates the surface radiation. But its still much higher than Earth.
- Hydrogen rich materials like water or certain plastics are useful barriers against cosmic rays. The ISS current has plastic shielded sleeping areas (to wait out solar storms too). It has been suggested to store fresh and waste water in the walls where the astronauts live and work.
A NY Times Sunday Magazine article was published about you today. I thought it was reasonably balnced telling good and bad things happening in your life recently. Would you like correct any misconceptions in this article?
Mainy important science problems are at least 4D in nature: three space dimensions and time. These include weather prediction, seismic prospecting, fluid dynamics, etc. 5.6 to the fourth power is one thousand in creased cost. You either get a finer grid or larger grid.
I heard a NOAA talk in Boulder about the erroneous Hurricane Sandy prediction. The "European" weather model correctly predicted the rare west turn of the northeastern hurricane while the US models did not. The Europeans used a 20 km would wide grid model and the SU a 32 km grid cell. The Europeans had more powerful computers. The US runs more frequent "incremental" model updates, while the Europens run fewer full calculations.
In video game you need to tell a good story. And there are guidelines for that going all the way back to Aristotle's seminal work called Poetics. It also greatly helps if you are familar with how stories have been told in great literature, movies, and even comic books. Crappy video games are missing important elecemnts like dramatic conflit, background development, character development, artistic flourish, etc. You learn all these studying other media and earlier works.
The full Fourier Integral has no frequency limits. The discrete transform, i.e the one usually programmed in computers, and its cousin the Fast Fourier Transform, are frequency limited at the small end by the sampling inerval and the large end by the length of the input.
!You are only counting CO2. We really don't know how much CH4 has been released due to natural gas drilling in the US.
Methane is 20x more potent gas and half a carbon emitter as CO2. So a 3% leakage would cancel its efficiency. It degrades in degrades in decades compared to millennia for CO2. It appears to be generally increasing in the atmosphere like CO2. It needs deep study too.

You show me where Obama mentions any of this in his speech. US cut carbon emission 4x that of Europe during past decade, 200 MT vs 50 MT cut according tot he IEA article. And Europe brags being the green continent implementing Kyoto.
Fortunately the rest of the world plans to emulate thuse push into unconventional sources of mathane gas and will slow their carbon emissions too. Its just the US did it first.
The Denver compputer book store SoftPro ended its storefront this year. The Stanford University bookstore dropped nearly all its wonderful technical books (e.g. Dover series) and just kept textbooks and popular reading books. The old space is filled with souveniers and brand clothing. That parallels what most other universities have down. I miss browsing through the print version of books.
Since peaking in 2005, US carbon emissions have dropped a gigaton per year. This was mainly due to switching almost half of coal-powered to electricity to cheaper and cleaner natural gas. This is near the goal [unratified] Kyoto treaty of 5% below 1990 levels. Since this was acheived by market forces rather than government regulation, Obama and environmentalists almost completely ignore this achievement. Obamas new proposal will lower US CO2 output even more.
Yet another industry article on a potential replacement for silcion transistor technology. Hundereds if not thousands of these in the past decades. Less than one percent of these technologies see commercial success. But we got to keep trying because the rewards could be immense.
“He’s a kid, I really think he’s a kid, I think he never anticipated this would be such a big matter in Hong Kong,” Mr. Ho said, adding that, “He enjoys Pepsi, he prefers Pepsi to wine, that’s why I say he’s a kid.”
"Mr. Ho presented an image of Mr. Snowden that differed in some respects from the public image that he presented in a video released by The Guardian, a British newspaper, when Mr. Snowden first stepped forward to take responsibility for leaks of classified information about American surveillance programs.
In the video, assembled over a period of days from various remarks made by Mr. Snowden, he appeared to have devised a clear plan of action together with a willingness to defy the United States.
But Mr. Ho described his client as someone with a vague sense of his legal options and a limited understanding, at least until the dinner over pizza last Tuesday, of his legal rights in Hong Kong. During the dinner, Mr. Ho said, “he came to a full grasp of the situation and better understanding of the reality.”
He had a pizza away from family/friends under virtual house arrest (confined to hotel) according Washington Post. He could take pride in having accomplished possibility the most important thing in his life. Yet lives under the fear of arrest or assassination.
The halving of coal-powered electricity was due to a combination of expensive coal metal-pollution laws the availability of cheap, clean alternative- fracked natural gas. This cut US CO2 emissions 20% since the early 2000s. But that is only a band-aid. If leveraged right that will buy us a decade or two to R&D even cleaner energy. The world is about to imitate the USA in this changeover, mainly for economic reasons.
"Who owns the future?" Theres a good chance the insurance industry may push us in that direction if machine-guided driving is substantially safer. And if it turns out to be more efficiency, i.e. higher speed and capacities on the existing highways, then economics may push us in that direction, especially those who drive for a living.
Jaron was seriously concerned about disruption in the paid-driver industries, e.g. truckers, taxis and delivery people. This could be another blue collar industry about to be decimated. Jaron speaks from the point of view as a muscian, where digitalization comprised his ability to make a living in that profession since Napster days.
Something like 97% of the finnacial traffic are buy/sell bids that are never consumated. They are a part of the these HFT algorithms to explore prices. If tax bids too, even at a much lower rate than proposed, you put the brakes on much HFT traffic.

Soem yuppie-type MUST read their message immediately a nd distract their neighbors. I saw this in the NY Metropolitan Opera house last month.
I've seen a scientist take a message while delivering a paper a conference.

At least three of them wrote books on the subject.

They are much lower power and somewhat lower speed than desktop CPUs. You'd have to use many more of them. Some projects are trying this.
