I think it just makes us more certain that the existing search area is correct.
The uncertainties with ocean currents are such that the only thing we can really say is that the current search location is not eliminated by this find.
Back in the early days of inkjet printing, Epson had their print heads on the printer, and the cartridges only held ink, making the cartridges cheaper than the competition. They also had separate cartridges for each color, while the competition (HP, Lexmark, Canon) combined the color cartridges into a single three cell cartidge and in some cases even included black in a four cell cartridge so you had to replace all at once. I was a light user, and had the same printer for about 3 years, going through two sets of cartridges in that time (maybe one or two more black cartridges). After three years, the printer was still in good condition and printing well, and I gave it to a friend because I was moving overseas. No inkjet printer I have had since has matched up to it. Unused ink clogging up print heads was an artificial problem caused by additives in the ink, it was never a fundamental issue with the technology.
The thermostat in my office is sexist by virtue of who controls it. It gets turned to minimum when some people in the office are too hot, and to maximum when those people are too cold. Were it not for equal opportunity policies, we could put it under control of a qualified individual who would set it to an appropriate temperature somewhere near the middle and leave it there (perhaps adjusting down in winter and up in summer to compensate for the type of clothing people prefer to wear in different seasons and also save some energy).
The intelligence agencies used to be that smart. They armed the Taliban against the Soviets, and they armed Iraq against Iran. For some reason they stopped the strategy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Go figure.
For less than $5B, they could have hand-crafted individual maps for every customer, given how well their phones have been selling since they jumped into bed with Microsoft.
Apparently the working title before his death in 2004 was "Faster Pussycat, Fuck, Fuck", but Micron's marketing department thought XPoint might go over better with the target market.
If there are advanced alien species out there that would go to the trouble of decoding our message, we expect them to be audiophiles who would turn their nose up at ISO files and the CD medium they represent.
I'm more surprised by the fact that LinkedIn still has users to be surprised by this. Some people must have a high tolerance for this sort of treatment. I left the site the second time they decided to reset everyone's privacy settings because much of their user base was missing out on some of their new "business" opportunities they had introduced.
No doubt he'd end up in jail for failing to indicate a lane change when he thought it'd be a good idea to get out of the way of the patrol car that was rapidly approaching from behind too. Some people just don't seem to have much luck with the police in the US for some reason I just can't fathom.
Here's a way that the government could be even less involved: don't DO that. Let people who want to show programs to a large audience find their own way to fund the production and dissemination of that material. Say, by selling ads or attracting sponsors, etc.
And being under heavy influence by advertisers is better than being at arms length from government influence how exactly?
But it works both ways, so instead of paying for foreign shows as they do now, they now get those for free.
BBC doesn't get them for free. The British public does due to lack of geoblocking.
Personally I think that programming that is commercially viable on the international market shouldn't be paid for by taxes (or other practically unavoidable licensing fees) anyway. It puts commercial broadcasters at a competitive disadvantage and takes funding away from arts/documentaries and community programming that needs public broadcasters to be viable.
WMA was invented because of the patent demands surrounding MP3, not to kill off Vorbis. Microsoft licenses WMA out to hardware vendors at 0.10 per decoder, compared with 1.35 for a stereo MP3 decoder, and 0.98 for AAC. Probably we have Microsoft to thank for the more reasonable licensing fee structure adopted by MPEG-LA for their patent pools for H.264 and H.265.
Do we have the results of what the "ice" actually is? The only element with a melting point within the range of temperatures expected on Pluto is Neon, but I guess internal heating from the core could be melting something with a slightly higher melting point like Oxygen or Nitrogen and causing it to spread out smoothly like that.
The real question is why ANYONE would want to work with people who did not like them.
The real question is how any large company can find anyone willing to work for them. Beyond a certain size, it is virtually guaranteed that someone at your workplace will not like you.
So they have a whitelist to deal with this problem rather than an API call. The cynic in me wonders how much AMD charges to have your game listed on that whitelist.
If you write it with long vowels spelt out, Toukyou is clearly different than Kyouto, though the Kyou in both cases is the same, Kyoto being the former capital.
On the subject of Chinese being able to understand written Japanese, it is only partially the case, as Chinese characters are not always used for their meaning in Japanese. Sometimes they were used for their (Middle Chinese) sound.
I've done A-B comparisons with the FLAC samples from Pono's store (including some at 44k1/16 that supposedly come from the CD masters) vs. my own FLACs ripped from CD. It is clear that the music on Pono, like "Gold CDs" and other audiophile snakeoil that has come before it, gets its "better" sound by remastering, not because of the higher bitrate or bit depth. I put better in quotes there, because it really is a matter of opinion, and these types of products tend to aim at the type of audiophile who listens to their equipment, rather than listening to the music, so they tend to have a different opinion of what is a better sound.
I don't know about his hardware player, but I did try a similar snakeoil player from Meridian, and found that compared to a standard DAC on the same files, it was doing some DSP processing to "clean" up the sound, which ended up sounding quite nice on jazz and other sparse "audiophile music", but downright awful on noisy rock that is supposed to have a continuous wall of guitar noise.

Probabilities don't change the fact that the possibility exists.
Boeing 777s never need spare parts. And/or shipping containers carrying Boeing spare parts never fall overboard.
You're forgetting the 500 odd containers that are lost overboard from ships every year, and the fact that 777s need spare parts.

These types of studies come in three forms: lies, damned lies and statistics. This statement is a red flag which eliminates one of these.

I'm curious, did you eat seafood from the Pacific Ocean before 2011?

$6.5M is the cap. At $0.20 per device, that is a lot of devices for a small company to be selling without growing into a big company.

If you hire young people on the other hand, you don't need to train them, because they still know it all.

Whoah there. I hope you spelt out that acronym in your head as you wrote it and didn't actually say THE WORD out loud.
