I'm really enjoying the Schiit Audio DACs for the money, hard to beat!
Good choice. I recently got a Schiit Modi Multibit DAC, and for 16/44 sources you won't find better SQ value for the dollar. For high def I would stick with the Delta-Sigma models though.
Hamilton's a fantastic driver, and like the "greats" before him, has said publicly that he would like nothing better than to have more control over the car.
To be fair, Vettel and Hamilton are both four time World Champions, and they both play by the same rules. Skill is most important, but far from the only thing that matters. At that level more often than not it is indeed the little things that decide a race.
There is no refueling in F1, they start with all the fuel they get. 2-3 seconds is a normal stop to change four tires. Because they have to slow down in the pit lane (I believe the speed limit is 60 mph), however, they lose much more than that on a stop. Often upwards of 20 seconds. Both the numbers in the article seem low, but I agree with other posters - if the point of the VSC is to freeze the race positions, it should apply to the pit lane also.
This is also why it's so boring. Every year, one team gets a big technological advantage and dominates. There is little competition, except between their own two drivers.
You must have missed last year when Hamilton (Mercedes) and Vettel (Ferrari) had a great competition down to the last few races. This year looks like it is going to be the same.
I agree with you, but you can't do a "thorough" background check from scratch for every purchase. Doing it properly and keeping it current implies licensing owners (for a restricted permit here you need references, and they do contact them). Also, those license checks have to apply to private sales as well as gun stores and gun shows, otherwise the whole idea is pointless.
I don't see the NRA supporting either of these things, but I also think in a couple decades the NRA may not wield as much power as they do now. Younger generations appear to have begun to see them as part of the problem, not part of the solution. Time will tell.
Amusingly, the gun laws in Canada are generally much more permissive than UK laws. If anything, just going by the types of guns that civilians can own, for example, I'd say that Canada is much closer to US than it is to UK.
Yet, when you look at the crime rates etc, Canada is more like UK.
It's almost as if it's not the gun laws that make the difference between these two, and US.
There is some truth to that. I own a Norinco T-97, which would certainly be considered an "assault rifle", and it is non-restricted. Unlike handguns all you need is a license.
That said, I think the sheer volume and ubiquity of guns in the US makes a big difference. Guns, and gun owners, are really not that common here relatively speaking. Gun shops are not like 7-11s on every corner, and guns are not like candy, readily available to everyone and common in most homes.
Continuity is important. Even if you could recreate an exact atom for atom copy, you would be missing the - I'm not quite sure of the word - the driving force? All the chemical and electrical processes that were interrupted, would they just resume as before? I'm not sure you can stop and restart reactions that way and expect them to give the same end result as if they were never interrupted at all. Besides the matter, you would also have to recreate all the states of energy said matter was in.
Just imagine what will happen when they find out guns aren't necessary for self defence here in the UK because we haven't armed criminals to the teeth.
Pretty much how I feel in here Canada. I own guns, and accept we have strict controls on them. I don't live for my guns so I don't obsess over it.
If I lived somewhere that I felt I needed to carry a gun to be safe, I would move.
If you care about such things, you simply should not do business with a US company.
I think what it actually means is if you care about such things you should not do business with any company which will store your data on servers in the US. There are US companies which will make sovereignty promises with where your data gets stored.
I am having trouble understanding how this wouldnt be a poison pill for us companies. If this act is made into law and then used, would it not over time lead people in other countries to garner mis-trust in US Corporations?
This. The lesson here is that simply having your data stored overseas won't help you keep it private, the US will not respect foreign laws.

The long standing advice for men under 70 not to even screen for prostate cancer which , no surprise , seems to be changing again https://edition.cnn.com/2017/0...
My father is 92 and recently started treatment for prostate cancer. His urologist says that if you biopsy every man at that age, over 90% will be positive for prostate cancer, but few will actually die from it. What matters is how aggressive it is (the so called Gleason score - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) as it only becomes dangerous when it starts to spread to other organs. This appears to be what the article says AI can determine as well as a pathologist.
PSA testing is not a good way to detect prostate cancer or to grade its seriousness. It is the best way to monitor the effectiveness of treatment once it is diagnosed through biopsy, though.

Why should ICANN care?
Not every entity in the world has to be complaint with EU law. Or US law. Or Chinese or Iranian law.
have just come to expect Mr Trump to be what could charitably be called erratic.
I'd think that is similar to the view from the rest of the world as well.
I remember is was $79
Still is here in Canada. In $CDN too.
I'm almost expecting an increase here too, I find that so cheap for the use I get out of it.
Not to mention the 4th is slowly and steadily eroding in the US and the 2nd is not helping at all.
I do not know what is worse: e-mail read by Google or e-mail read by the NSA/CIA/others without any warrants.
At least they got you covered either way.
You must not eat in the same restaurant twice. I can only imagine what's happened to your food...
Why would you go back to a restaurant not worthy of a tip?
They also say corals have been around for about half a billion years.
I'm sure they have had worse.

Stopping for police is one of the things that doesn't really need to be automated.
It will eventually, since in the future they won't need any passengers and sending them places on their own would be useful.

Good news: you wont see it coming.

Stay away from anything leveraged and you will do fine.
Yeah good luck with that.
