The gas is not at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) -- so your volumetric calculations would have to depend on that. A mole of air takes up 22.4 liters while a mole of water is about 18 mL at STP -- since it's in liquid form. Now, if we take 1 mole of H2 and 1/2 mole of O2, we'd have ~32 liters of gas which would become 18 mL of water -- which is essentially a massive vacuum....but then again, no one stores H2 at STP.
One of the jobs of teachers (my mother taught 2nd grade for a couple decades) is to work with families and students to make sure it doesn't happen to the kids they teach. No amount of Common Core is going to help a Haitian kid who's not learning to read because he doesn't speak English. However, talking to another teacher to get his cousin in her class (who is bilingual) got him up to the 2nd grade reading level in a single year.
How about almost every AMD/Intel chip release ever? Other than the famous floating point debacle and hideous 64 bit chip, Intel has done pretty well. I can't think of any AMD CPU debacles -- but maybe there are some.
However, I feel like I can pretty much buy a brand new CPU from either of them and it'll work just fine (motherboards are a different matter).
If you add to that "hates gun control, but enjoy shooting your friends in the face", you'd be Dick Cheney (his daughter is gay, he hates Obama, and he hates poor people -- oops I meant "fiscally conservative".)
According to this article, Gawker Media also owns Gizmodo, Deadspin, Jezebel, Lifehacker, Kotaku, and Jalopnik.
They look safe for now, but I actually like Kotaku and Gizmodo. It's probably really shitty to work at these companies, which had nothing to do with leaking pr0n, but who's employees are still affected by it.
Furthermore, the long-term solution could be to DeCentralize the Facebook concept into a Peer-to-Peer network methodology, where users could participate in the social network through multiple providers.
Only a users' friends would be administered a Decryption participant key in order to decrypt my posts or selection of profile data allowed to them according to privacy settings.
I've been thinking (heck, I started coding!) a solution like this a while back. My take was doing a native application so decryption is only done on the device itself. That way, the encrypted data can be stored out in the open (dropbox, github, ftp server -- it's jus public data) as only people with the proper keys are able to read any of it.
Any decentralized solution where an https server knows how to decrypt your friends' data so you can see it in your browser is neither decentralized nor secure.
There was a chapter in SuperFreakonomics about the cost of homelessness to society via emergency services and law enforcement and how free housing is a cost-effective solution. It's good to see another example of their hypothesis that simply providing free services to the homeless is cheaper than the status quo.
People against this idea who say "I'm a small government conservative and I don't believe in giving people free stuff" miss the point entirely; this saves money and reduces the size of government in turn. Anyone who has moral problem with saving money by helping people is likely an Ayn Rand fan or an asshole, but probably both;)
Did this just get modded +5? You realize the website we're on right? Isn't "Windows Conversion Therapy" illegal here of all places?
In all seriousness, no you shouldn't switch to Windows, mostly because Windows is still terrible. If you want performance, build a hackintosh like A Real Hacker (TM) -- that's what most high performance creative professionals I know are doing nowadays.
Set up a special non-competitive news office (SNCNO?) to handle such publicity-seeking manufactured news
I think you either misspelled "NPR" or "BBC" but I can't decide which country you're from;)
Also: blowing people up with bombs and shooting people is news. There's an old adage from the newspaper era "If it bleeds, it leads" which predates television.
Lastly, if stopping terrorism is your goal, maybe we could stop invading/bombing foreign countries? We've not tried that in over a decade -- it might even work if you give the strategy enough time!
"Invest in world-class technology And leverage our core competencies In order to holistically administrate Exceptional synergy"...was so going to post that! So good!
Or how about 3. Use polling data to determine the candidates popularity. Release funds weekly where a candidates given share of the pot is equal to their polling percentage.
No parties, no money for David Duke, but plenty of money for popular independents.
A good benchmark -- in cameras, CPUs, GPUs, cars, anything really -- is ideally a set of tests which contains a random sampling of real-world scenarios. In the beginning, the benchmark is good precisely because the vendors are unaware of it and don't spend a bunch of time trying to optimize for it specifically.
Once a benchmark becomes popular, companies try to make their product better for the benchmark ("See PHB! I increased our PCBench score by 10%!") but CAN ultimately end up doing so in a custom way that doesn't represent real-world performance (e.g. Volkswagen). Because the company is now specifically trying to optimize for a specific use-case, the benchmark is no longer random and thus no longer representative of real-world use.
Enter a new benchmark, which is really good, and better mirrors real-world performance and the cycle begins anew.
Our Archiac Pluralistic Voting system includes having parties nominate their own candidates on the tax payer dime
...but if we agree that plurality voting becomes two party because of science, does it not follow then, that party members become the government, and therefore their elections should probably be run in some fair way independent of the party's elite?
Those in power tend to stay in power. We have term limits for a reason, but Super Delegates don't.
It looks like the dev team has been waffling about whether or not ship 16.04 with Unity 8 (which under the hood, dumps Gnome for Qt) as well as Mir. Has anyone tried it out since the rocky betas I looked at in 15.x? Does anyone know what the defaults or plans are from the good folk at Ubuntu?
It's odd that as Intel and AMD have shed workers -- they put the "Silicon" in Valley after all -- absolutely useless companies like LinkedIn are sprawling all over Sunnyvale. I understand why a company needs a large workforce to make microprocessors with nanometer thick wires, but I have no idea why you need thousands of people to run a website.
Looks like Miguel de Icaza has officially become part of Microsoft. Maybe he can pull a Elop and get Windows 11 to use Gnome as its desktop environment.
Poland had more holocaust victims than any other country with around 2 million of the victims being ethnic Poles. Poland is also number one in Righteous Among the Nations (awarded by Israel for saving Jews during the Holocaust). Basically, Poland was damn proud to be a Democratic state where you could practice whatever religion you wanted which attracted the largest Jewish population of Europe and earned the ire of Germany. A couple right-wing nutters no more represents Poland than Cliven Bundy represents Americans./., you're better than to present the Polish as a people who cooperated with Germany during the Holocaust -- a view the victims don't share either.

Statistically speaking, if you spend your whole childhood poor, you have a roughly 45% chance of being poor yourself in adulthood.

Good catch!
Great now I have Queen stuck in my head:
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening for meeee, for meeeeee;)
Lightning is essentially a Apple-only standard.
Um. No. It's an Intel standard. Many popular NAS devices have lightning connectors in addition to network. In fact here's a list for you.

Even old school JRPGs like Final Fantasy VII only managed around 30 hours of gameplay.
No Man's Sky has a bigger world than an MMO like WoW...but has tedious crafting/gathering/combat like WoW.
Take the most tedious MMO ever made and just remove the multiplayer. Great game idea.

Or maybe "fat acceptance" leads to inaction because, what the heck, it's okay to step on a scale and for it to say "One at a time, please."
That sounds like a testable hypothesis...and science shows the opposite is true.
I tried to tell a joke to Obama about Hiroshima once...it bombed.
