My graduate degree was in a more applied field. We accepted undergraduate from core majors. Its pobably less likely to major in secondary field, then try to get into math or physics grad school.
A minimum of business casual. More often a coat a tie than not. Ladies wore dresses and jewelry.
These days I adult men board planes in slobby gym clothes.
But then people wore jackets to college classes and dressed up for cultural performances too.
The article said we've reached 1992. So about another 10% to go. Natural gas electricity conversion should easily reach this. Even if a new Republican government eases the new draconian vehicle admission standards (twice mpg as now).
I heard the average kindle customer buys $300 worth of content a year. Thats a little over two ebooks a month.
The convenience of buying instantly online may be what does it. They hook you with a free first chapter.
In the scheme of things, such content not more expensive than regular theater movies or a few bar beers a months.
There is FREE content. But that tends to be classic books and old TV shows.
Earliest calculatable time is the Planck second 10E-43 seconds. This is smallest resolvable time unit in physical constants. This says 10^32 degrees K. At this temperature gravitation may unify with the other three universal forces.
I was trying to find the distance between Gale Crater and the "Face on Mars" hill, but couldnt. Suppose you could drive a kilometer a week and the nuke source was good for a couple decades. that would give you a thousand kilometers of range. (I think the speed record for the earlier rovers was about 1/4 kilometer a day. But they slowed them after get stuck in sand a couple times.)
Mainly urban legends on how how Iran caught one with minimal damage. Some say it was GPS jamming. Some people say they can view the unencrypted video feeds. Other say it was more sophisticated than this.
Not bloated.
Kernel tested for nearly three decades.
The do add new drivers for the new equipment all the time. Those are the more likely areas for bugs and weaknesses.
Thats when the IPO blackout ends. If too many sell, that could mean a loss of confidence and a another big drop in the stock value. But this is an opportunity for employees to buy homes now with their rewards.
Two reasons: (1) Fairly long design cycle and transportation cycles. They were working on Curiosity in 2003. They had to wait an extra 26 months for a later launch window. it takes ten months to get there. (2) Use field grade components that better resist radiation and shock. Field grade (military) are often a generation or two behind the latest consumer toys.
One Earth plate tectonic boundaries are defined by lines of earthquakes. One of the Viking probes had seismometer. But it did not see motion other than the wind.
Its the drivers for new devices and operations programs that are more likely to have bugs. Plus they may learn more useful ways of operating things during the years they operate these probes.
I recall the 2004 Mars Opportunity computer nearly died about a month into its 2003 operation. The memory management for the then "new fangled" flash-drive wasnt freeing memory correctly. Opportunity had gone into safe-mode and rebooted about 30 times in a row. But JPL engineers manged to patch the driver and Opportunity is still working 9 years later.
That only works if (1) the lecture contains lots of visual material and (2) the professor is not annoyed.
Often in the case of powerpoint, the professor posts them on a website.
The rockets and part of the probes were built by Denver area companies (United Launch Alliance, Lockheed Martin, Ball Areospace, Southwest Research Institute.) Reps from these companies will give lectures Sunday night. Then they will watch NASA TV for the 11:31 MDT landing and "first pictures" expected around midnight. The best of the three relay satellites- Odyssey- has been balky the past few weeks, so the telemetry might be slower than expected.
I was looking up how complicated the detectors were, and they were. They have 75M directional sensors and 9K energy detectors (calorimeters), each which are analyzed 40M times a second for "interesting" events. One out of a billion maybe recorded for subsequent deep analysis.

The way the Europe in evolving. Then it will be an "eye for an eye" ...
There are many great space exploration ideas out there and way to little funds.
You code inject secret message into pigeon DNA ...
I think this was a plot of Star Trek TNG episode: some ancient part of our DNA had a message from our long, lost Creators.

There was a story this weekend about google paying 50% wages to surviving partners/family for several years.
I didnt look too closely because it was crowded. There were a half dozen strange haptic (touch sensing/feedback) at SIGGRAPH.

Google has installed fiber to everywhere. The "slow" speed is free and the "fast" speed costs $70.
"No Black Swans here. Move along."
The 1930s solar maximum was very strong as well as the US drought and temperatures. I think this drought and temperature has surpassed that.
I checked to see their latest offerings.
