The TL;DR of coffee:
Brewing: Use a water with a minimum mineral content of 150-200 ppm (250-300 ppm is my preference).
Espresso: Use R.O. water or distilled water.
As always the bean and roast is part of the interaction as well so your mineral content and roast level are not completely independant.
FYI: Starbucks uses purified water for both espresso and drip in order to control for flavor. So when at Starbucks, avoid the drip and get an Americano if you normally prefer dark coffee.
Which economically would be massive windfall to both the government coffers and the economy as a whole.
I for one would love to see the US tax policy be competitive with countries like Hong Kong and Singapore combined with incentives for R&D and domestic manufacturing would be great for the US. It would decimate Europe and the UK as well as chunks of Singapore. Some of Hong Kong's export centric companies would survive but the investment centric services would certainly feel the pinch.
The specter of russian invasion is why the US bombed Nagasaki. The US was afraid that they would have to "share" Japan with Russia. At the time Japan was looking to surrender with conditions. Nagasaki was the answer to 'conditions'.. US needed Japan's surrender to be 'unconditional' so as to exclude Russia from access to Japan.
During WWII US and Russia were allied so if Russia and the US shared in V-J both sides would be involved in negotiating the terms of surrender. Japan was already working with Russia on a more favorable (for Japan) peace treaty.
It's a bit of an ugly brick powered by AA batteries but even used the words "Slide to unlock" and translated for EFIGS (English, French, Italian, German and Spanish).
Since the prime sieve is generally an array of bits the first (obvious) compression is to skip past 2 (and 3?) then you only need to maintain a bit pattern that represents every other bit, or possibly every 3rd bit... generalizing this pattern means with the sum of 3 primes pattern implies that you exchange the bit pattern for some lookup table that indicates which primes this bit represents? Not sure..
At some point the bit field (sieve) gets pretty sparse, sparse enough that hold an array of primes and/or prime sums may be a way to condense the sieve, or the next 'window' into the sieve. Not sure when or if the memory vs cpu tradeoff becomes a win-win but it seems possible.
Given 160K in the midwest vs 220K in SV it's no contest for me.
As a bonus, driving in the midwest is normal speed and there are a minimum of hipster douchebags running around.
Don't know why you are cherry picking economic data from 6 year old census data when you can see the obvious economic indicators every quarter. It's pretty obvious that SV housing and rent are not sustainable while wages are stagnant in the valley due to huge amounts of imported labor.
Besides... the place is pretty much a dump outside the wealthy enclaves.
Apple works very hard to track down and disable such unlicensed devices. There is usually a few unlicensed accessories knocked off with each each update. I suspect one of the reasons for changing to the lightning connector was that the unlicensed accessories had gotten too difficult to defeat. YMMV.
The *current* E2 requirement is basically 1 Million USD investment at risk and Documentation of 10 jobs created by said investment.
Even the old Canada (similar system) has bumped from a pathetic 100k upto 500k to 1M, due to abuses. They also have a problem where immigrants can show a lesser amount when settling in Toronto... but the majority get in and immediately relocate to Vancouver. If you have been to both cities you know why:-)
So this is really a seems to be step backwards in terms of helping ensuring that investment based visas are not being further abused.
Heck this will seriously help some people I know so in a way I'm happy for them, however I don't think this is really a good thing for the country as a whole. Perhaps this is yet another hint is starting to take a serious downward spiral.. or maybe it's just another big FU by Obama, who knows?
Yes. There are specific mechanical differences in build quality around stability and vibration dampening between enterprise and consumer level drives. It's more than just flashing some different firmware (but that may be a part of what differentiates drives).
The best indicators are length of warranty and specification of purpose, in my experience.
*Most* banks give a you debit/credit combined card. It says VISA on it (or MasterCard but I've not seen one of those). You can use it at an ATM (or Store with Purchase) to take out cash. You can use it at a store to Charge your purchase. There is no advantage to the consumer with regard to charging vs debit however, as the purchase is immediately deducted from your account. There *may* be advantage to the store as to the transaction fees to VIsa/MasterCard vs the bank ATM network. It may also depend on the purchase amount... a large purchase is quite likely to be cheaper over the ATM network as opposed the the percentage charged by Visa/MasterCard.
That speed information comes via road map data. It's usually correct (say 95%+) but it can be wrong. I would certainly use it for a suggested guideline (like auto coloring the speedometer readout or posting a gentle audible alert).
Backlit screens are dead. Everyone is going OLED in this space now. It's lower power and better contrast. For light text on black there is no contest, OLED is the clear winner.
Boggle. Java catching on had only to do with Sun's marketing and nothing to do with the 'quality' of the language and clearly nothing to do with the 'quality' of the implementation..NET catching on also has nothing to do with C# or VB.NET... it has to do with the fact the Microsoft marketed it heavily and made using native C/C++ on their platform arbitrarily more painful by deprecating APIs and making some new APIs only accessible via the managed (.NET) interfaces.
Physics said no. I believe physics. The idea a stupid on the face. The patents are only worth pennies. Reality is it will compete with other short distance induction charging models that already have far less problems at much higher energy transfer rates.
No. All work creates entropy so all work done to "reverse" entropy makes more entropy.
Think of entropy as heat. Think of an entropy reversing machine as a fridge. You can 'reverse' the heat (entropy) of something inside the fridge, but the net result is an increase in total heat (entropy) due to inefficiencies of the compressor and insulation.
Maybe your data and personal area network can run from your wrist (or arguably something a bit bigger, with more battery), being a watch gives it a function (yeah a crappy function, but a function). But putting the computing power in a tiny wearable just isn't the future... in the future your data/PAN will most likely be an implanted device that runs off ambient power...
Papers are not made from cutting wood in rain forest anymore
Paper never was... as such a thing was never economically viable.
For the last, oh, 80 years at least, all paper has been made from trees grown for paper and lumber mills. Oh and your recycled paper? It is *more* environmentally destructive to produce, and will always be. Re-use it, compost it, or burn it.
The time to brew (steep) isn't much. It is also interesting to note that the mineral content of the water makes a huge differences in the end result. Living in the midwest I have pretty hard water which is great for the coffee flavor and rough on the coffee maker (I need to pass a pot of vinegar through every 3 to 4 weeks to de-scale the machine).
Canadians are very patriotic about their Tim Hortons.
Apparently it's like a comfort food. Stale burned coffee with lots of sugar and milk Asking for black coffee (at TH) and they get mind bogglingly confused. After tasting it I understood why... Much better to get a known sub-standard coffee from McD's than that wacko shit from TH.

The whole media stack is still based around the binary blobs provided by the SoC supplier and wrapped by hacking shims to provide an common API.
It would be nice to see Google use it's power for good and start forcing manufacturers to open up the SoCs. Unlikely, but I can dream :-)

Dunno if this helps but Android Auto dumps AAC encoded audio.
So Android 5.x Lollipop (and up) can send AAC via Bluetooth as well.

Nah. It is really easy. It's just a disallowed expense.
Lots of expenses are not allowed or substantially restricted.

Good coffee takes time
Effort.
The time to brew (steep) isn't much. It is also interesting to note that the mineral content of the water makes a huge differences in the end result.
Living in the midwest I have pretty hard water which is great for the coffee flavor and rough on the coffee maker (I need to pass a pot of vinegar through every 3 to 4 weeks to de-scale the machine).

For espresso however you really want to use distilled water to get the best flavor extraction.
