If you've lived in the US for more than 6 months during the previous calendar year, you owe taxes to uncle Sam. Even if you're here on an H1B visa. A H1B visa holder comes to US for a multi-year stint (then usually "graduates" to a GC), therefore it's almost certain that he/she is going to pay federal taxes and, depending on the local laws, state taxes too.
Sorry, but both Mozart's and Beethoven's compositions written before they reached their mid twenties are mediocre at best and, especially in Mozart's case, completely forgettable.
No one - including the 150+ IQ genius - is good at something before time and effort have been invested into excelling at that something. You may scoff at the 10000-hours idea, but I challenge you to show one example of someone being fantastic at what he/she's doing right from the start, without countless hours of practice and study being invested in their craft.
Sorry Lumpy, but if the design draws almost as much in standby as in fully-on mode, its power design is crappy. All bits that are not used for keeping the network connection alive can be disabled; the network portion should be responsible only for a reasonable percentage of the power being burned - 91% is not reasonable.
yeah, some of their more recent scopes are damn weird: the DPO5000 series has a counter-intuitive interface (crappy touch screen, many functions are accessible only by mouse), while a MSO4000 we bought does not accept standard "smart" probes (which the TDS4000 models support), a downright sleazy move as nowhere was this "small" detail mentioned beforehand.
The older stuff is more intuitive, compatible across series and very reliable.
Sorry, my question was directed to the AC who said that he/she had to get two different revisions of the Calculus textbook for successive courses.
Regarding the thread's subject, the one thing that stinks big time is the conflict of interest of the ones who required the expensive textbook to be used.
Was there *any* practical difference between the two books? Calculus at the college level (talking about the US, other places teach the same in HS) has been settled for more than 150 years, any competently-written book will teach the same material.
Don't keep your hopes high. Unlike the sans-cullotes pre-1789 and bydlos pre-1917, the typical American truly believes he/she is a millionaire temporarily fallen on hard times. There is no other way explaining how people here routinely vote against their own interests...
It seems that you misunderstood what the researchers did. They fed a set of subjects fructose-sweetened soda and another set glucose-based soda. Both table sugar and HFCS have similar amounts of both.
As for the taste, HFCS is slightly sweeter, but aside from that, any difference must come from residual elements in the sweetener. Absolutely pure sugar and HFCS would taste similarly.
Yeah, you're right, it's the two sugars (50% fructose and 50% glucose).
And you're ignorant about what's in the American soft drinks too. The vast majority are sweetened with HFCS, which is about 55% fructose and 45% glucose, practically a wash when comparing to sugar. Both equally bad because of the fructose.
Nobody gives a FF if it's better. It's the culture of the land, you come here, you integrate. If you don't want to integrate, you should not be allowed to come here.
The whole debacle is circling around the idea that since drinking water from the water fountain is good, drinking it from a high-pressure fire hydrant is also good.
It is obvious that Tom did this pretty much useless hack to amuse himself and, maybe, to hint at the total waste of resources the emoji concept leads to.
Tom is a really nice and interesting guy, he doesn't deserve the bleating his kludge produced here, on/.
Wafer yield is an imperfect science, you can't predict it within a couple percent what it will be except if it's very high (90% and more).
Moreover, they're talking about binning the rare part that somehow hits the target speed at much lower VDD. I don't think one can estimate the chance of this occurring in a batch.
You really think that the genocide against Jews and Gypsies was the central piece of WW2? Really? WW2 has been a horrendous event, but the genocide played only a minor part to it.
To believe that Germany's reason to go to war consisted in exterminating the Jews shows just how brainwashing works over long periods of time.

Is my 9oz foam rc plane a drone? It has no self-guidance, no GPS, no FPV camera on board, it's just a scratch-built remote-controlled model airplane.
The linked "article" is light on information, therefore a RTFA! shout doesn't work in this case...

You're completely wrong. H1B visa holders do pay federal taxes just the same as permanent residents and citizens.

Or they really couldn't believe that the engineers at Nest did such a shitty job w.r.t. the device's power management...

Nope, that pretty much seals it. The new Tek scopes are crappy, though

Cane sugar, sucrose, is not the only sugar.

Unfortunately, that horse has left the barn quite a while ago...

Normal part, just binned for high speed so that it still operates at the desired clock rate while powered from a lower voltage supply.
Essentially just the best of the best will make the cut; this makes very uncertain the actual number of viable dies out of any given wafer batch.
Thank you for your perspective.
In California this is true only for cars built in 2000 or later. Cars with OBD2 but older than 2000 still get tested at the tailpipe.
Wow, brainwashing at its finest!

Ugh, I'm pretty sure no one needs another Winston Churchill, that pompous asshole who got lucky exactly once.
