You don't see commercial airliners (or military planes for that matter), ships, cars (including EVs), appliances ("durable goods"), semiconductors, mobile phones, or really almost any kind of manufacturing in Israel
That's factually not true. TowerJazz (a top-ten pure-play manufacturer) has two modern fabs in Israel and the almighty #1 (intel) has two more in that country.
If you think that Scandinavia is really good (for immigrants), I can tell that you're not well informed. You may be white, with freckles and blond hair, and well educated, and still you'll be perceived as second class, as chauvinism and dissonance are on the rise in the former Utopialand. The recent influx of refugees is also hastening the process.
As they're saying, the plural of anecdote is not data...
The Anesthesiology is high up the wage ladder in the medical profession, therefore it's sought after by the "natives". To counteract your anecdote, two of my HS classmates, very much caucasians, practice it successfully in the Manhattan area.
Rogue waves travel fast, the one they've actually recorded was doing 45mph. They also can appear from a direction different from the prevailing swell. To cover a perimeter large enough to give advance warning (10 minutes?), you need a lot of drones.
It's interesting that Thomas Wheeler's FCC seems to be much more consumer-friendly than its preceding incarnations.
I still remember the gloom-and-doom discussions here on/. when the ex Cable lobbyist was appointed by Obama... Fortunately, Wheeler seems to be a man of character, which is pretty rare these days.
From what I read, the parts are about 3k, while the labor is at least 5k at the rare independent shop willing to touch a modern Audi and more like 7-8k at the happy-to-see-you stealership. Expensive.
After googling for the picture (it's the timing chain setup for the previous generation Audi S4), I found out that this particular engine is renown for how unreliable it is and how expensive is to fix it when it fails (after some 100-110k miles only).
What's failing is not the chain, but the ridiculous rails/tensioners, which are made out of inadequately spec-ed *plastic*. These are the parts that were designed in as planned obsolescence.
I'm pretty sure that they could come up with a method of attaching the centers to the stepper motors without requiring hole drilling.
However, turning the faces faster and faster requires both extreme force and very careful over- and under-shoot control. Eventually, the inertial forces will be so high that the cube will disintegrate (its corners will fly away as their little holding ledges break off).
RTD's Achille's heel is the fact that, in order to actually determine the temperature, one needs to trust the absolute value of another resistor in the circuit. This is tricky without regular re-calibration and definitely doesn't qualify for "100 years repeatability".
I had no idea though that they're as popular in industrial applications as they seem to be, at least compared to thermocouples.
You're joking, right? thermal expansion coefficients are very stable in time and have long been applied to manufacturing very consistent thermometers. I'm pretty sure that a Hg-based one built 100 years ago still has the same accuracy today as when it was brand new.
As long as the glass inner tube is uniform in size, calibration for 0*C in an ice bath and for 100*C in boiling distilled water at 1 atm takes care of its accuracy and linearity.
A thermistor, with its highly nonlinear R=f(temp), is difficult to use to make an accurate thermometer. A thermocouple is better, but you need the cold junction reference.
I bet most young/.ers don't even know what a slow stick is...
I fully agree with your concerns. As an older RC pilot flying small electric fixed-wing aircraft, I don't even know what will I do, register with this stupid and overreaching FAA system or simply skirt the rule.
I fully agree with the first part, although dead people give off methane if buried and CO2 if cremated... The second part though, yes, it's widely acknowledged but that doesn't actually make it true.
Yes, you're wrong. Pushing someone on a swing *is* how resonance works; you're adding energy to the system at the right time, i.e. resonant with the natural pendulum oscillation.
The analogy doesn't work for the bridge because the wind kept a steady speed; it's as if you're continuously pushing the swing, which, obviously, does not create an oscillation.

It still doesn't prevent another Breivik, the shitbag from Norway.
I know that it's unfashionable to read the fine article, but this one explains why the discovery is relevant.
The summary: these 3 people are DNA-related to today's Irish, while the older ones were related to Mediterranean people.
Telstra cites Elop's "deep technology experience" and "innate sense of customer expectations."
That must be a weird typo, it should read "inane sense of customer expectations." instead.
Have you tried carbon dating?

it's an epidemics!

I was hoping that the robot will snatch the hockey stick and beat the crap out of that jerk of an engineer :-P

I can't believe that this is part of a modern car engine! It looks like an abstract work of art, though...

Thank you for the informative post!

Sorry, but that's not true anymore. Even the very high end fridges (SZ comes to mind) are no longer built with durability in mind.
Would you care to list one current fridge model that you think is "a couple hundred more dollars" than a plain one and very reliable? I bet you can't.

that Bernie is at the stage "then they fight you"? Because if true, only one step remains to be taken ("then you win" - the nomination, at least).
2016 will be a very interesting year...

Were you aiming for Funny points? Because as a serious statement it's just a stupid one, along with the idea that a low-fat diet is healthy.
