I have a question for you. You said you are an endurance cyclist. How much do you eat? If your intake has not changed compared to the time when you were not an endurance cyclist, then your BMR is decreased. If you eat more (can could be more often as well), then your BMR shouldn't be decreased because you need more calories to burn in your activities plus the base. I believe your BMR is stabilized if you have trained (exercised) your body for a while.
What happens when thereâ(TM)s low humidity in the air?
When the humidity is low, all air to water machines are challenged. Skywater machines are not designed for dry or cold climates and are not marketed there.
And that is actually the real problem -- low humidity air. If the area has abundance of water in the air, it implies that plants/trees in the area shouldn't die by drought. The only thing it may solve is certain contamination (which does not happen in the air, e.g. heavy metal) could be eliminated. However, this invention doesn't really solve the main issue but rather an add-on as another commercial product.
I am not saying this is a good idea, far from it. However, solar panels could provide electrical power to drive electromagnets to maintain the satellite's orientation in space. Also, a pendulum can stabilize the satellite along one axis. (The heavy mass at the end of the pendulum would be attracted towards the center of Earth's mass due to differential gravity.) As this satellite's mirror would be HUGE, the torque that the mirror would encounter could be high as well.) Actuators which would work against the pendulum on two axes would allow the tip/tilt of the mirror to be adjusted to allow the mirror to illuminate the desired area on the planet. Unlike a communication satellite, maintaining this satellite in the "center of the box" would not be technically essential. Other GEO satellite owners would like them to play nice and stay in their box, nonetheless.
You missed the point of viperidaenz. The poster said that even the satellite is up there, it will constantly need 24/7 adjustment. This is not about power needed in adjustment or mechanical system of adjustment, but it is about wear and tear of components. It gets worse when combined with very precise adjustments, and that could easily and quickly wear out those components involved in the process.
That's going to require the gyros and reaction wheels to be on 24/7.
In theory you only need to notch it once in a precise rotation... then it will always beam at the same spot.
And how do you do that? Are you thinking about a globe which is sitting on a table, and then you stick a pin representing the satellite on it, so that it is precisely fixed to the location and rotation of the earth?
You know the one that keeps your battery safe and stops it from exploding ?
The copper contacts ?
I suppose that I should just chalk this up to pandering infotainment, but really how hard is it to understand that if you are going to make a significant amount of anything you need to use techniques geared to making significant amounts.
If you are talking about short-circuit which causes Li-ion batteries to explode, then you should at least read this site.
My point is, the 3D printing is nice to create a custom-size batteries, but I hope that those who create their own battery size know what they are doing. The design is the key and that they need to know how a Li-ion battery works in the first place, or there is a high risk of making an easily explode custom-sized battery.
How about using he/she or she/he? Or even "a person" should be OK as well. It is acceptable in this type of situation because it is not that formal or a legal document. Why do you have to pick a gender if you don't know what the natural and/or legal gender of the person you want to talk about?
And then there was a 10-15 years of hyper-commercialized internet, then someone decided NN 'had to be' or the sky would fall. Then before NN was implemented it was repealed.
Sudden change could be a sky fall when vulnerable are found; especially in the digital age. When someone found a way to do something (in this case, it is throttling) and proved that it could make more money, then something has to be done or sky would fall. NN is an attempt to stop that even though it is not a complete solution at the time.
10-15 year for Internet world is very long time. Also, the exploitation wasn't exist back then, and so was streaming (Netflix launch it in 2007).
Then back to your pro corporations, you said as the anti-NN aren't corporations as well. You attempted to mislead others to think that this is a corporations (pro NN) v. people (anti NN), but it is actually corporations+people (pro NN) v. corporations+people (anti NN). However, there seem to be more people who are pro NN than those who are against. Thus, it is more of people (pro NN) v. corporations (anti NN) instead, which is the opposite of what you are claiming.
Many people used templated [sic] letters from various organizations, possibly from both sides. It means that the remaining 21m COULD be legit but could be fake
And don't you see that there is a problem with the people you are talking about? These people comments shouldn't be counted anyway. If they needed to use template letters from organizations, it meant that they don't care enough for the issue or they don't completely understand what Net Neutral is. As a result, why should they be voting for when they have no idea what it is? Better let those who understand the issue/impact of the issue (either support or against) and really want to make their voices heard be counted. Others who don't understand or just follow their leader without a complete understanding of what would impact them (or others around them) are just noise in this case.
If Apple provided the ability for two-factor authentication, and customers didn't use it, and they got phished - what exactly is Apple apologizing for? PEBKAC?
For some people, 2FA doesn't help. When some people aren't cautious enough, they could still be scam from phishing. It all depends on how well the scammer is too. Thus, 2FA is NOT a perfect solution for all (but could be most).
They are private corporations if they don't want you using their private system then that is just too bad.
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Private corporations? What do you mean by that? If they are private, why do they have their stocks in public exchange (Verizon stocks, AT&T stocks, etc.)?
If anything the MMA would make licensing costs go up. Also, on an unrelated note: I like how the post says "rights holders"... that really has very little to do with the artists.
Well, according to WikiPedia, the "rights holders" or "owners" of streaming musics are those who hold "mechanical license". If you look at the meaning of mechanical license, you should find that it is NOT really artists but rather song writers/composers! The artists (performances) seem to be under a different license...
Sorry for late reply because I was very busy. Anyway, yes it is the mode you are talking about and it is not irrelevant. In this case, the "point" is a "range" of incomes. The interval could start from small (e.g. $2k or lower). If the range still produce too many number of data, then increase the interval to be a bit bigger until you get useful info from it.
I believe that your PDF data came from this one. Anyway, it is similar data, so I just wanted to point out.
Now speaking of the meaning of mean and median are closely aligned would meant the data has a good distribution in the middle, which I agree. However, the data you presented doesn't seem to show that mean and median are align.
Let's talk about the year 2015 data (other years seem to show the similar trend). The PDF (going to use yours on page 2) shows that, the total number of returns is 141,204,625. The total AGI is $10,142,620,000,000. Thus, we can calculate the mean which is around $71,829 per return. The median (income split point) is $39,275. That's way off for aligning. However, the AGI average should be lower because of joint filing. Unfortunately, there is no data of how many are filed joint in the PDF, so I will make an education guess using some raw data.
The U.S. population in the 2015 is 321,418,820. Total population age 18 and above is 247,773,709. Assuming that all of those who are above 18 file tax returns (I'm generous). Thus, the new mean should be around $40,935.
Even though the new mean compared to the median isn't that bad, it still shows the trend that income per person is lower than the mean. Thus, to me, mode is a better indicator. It is only how you use mode to analyze the data. It is acceptable to use range for mode in analysis. That's what I wanted to say.
That's $318 per person, which might half with legal fees. That's pretty reasonable for stealing data.
1 pound stering is roughly about $1.306 as of today. TFA said it is 1 billion pound stering and there are about 4.4 million people in the law suit. Then it should be around $297 per person. However, how many percentages the lawyers will get from a class action (after deduct all their fees) if they succeed the case? So $297 may turns into $50 or even less if you are lucky. That's why they (the group) want to pursue because there is a huge reward waiting for them in the end if they succeed.
and the government has done nothing to ban the practice.
This statement is wrong. The government has done something (Truth in Caller ID Act) but it is not enough. The caller (either a real person or robot) clearly and fraudulently intend to obtain importation personal data from the person being called. The problem with the law is that it is not clear enough and no one really enforces it.
Hmm... Sorry that I exaggerated the number. No, it is not my intention to say about "hate the rich" because that is not on the topic we are talking about here. My intention is about the number used as average.
Anyway, the statistics you gave still does not invalidate what I said about using mode as a better indicator instead of mean.
Definition of "middle class" used by researchers is ability to spend at least 11$ per day per person.
You forgot that the research is about the whole world and not only for the 1st world countries (or not only for the U.S.)? That amount of money is quite plenty to spend for a day if you live in a 3rd world country. Anyway, I still think that the research/analysis isn't done correctly.
Average US income is $57617. If the USA wasn't so overinflated (print money, tax cuts to rich people, load up debt, debt repaid by poor people due to tax cut)....
And the top 1% earn at least 300x times compared to the next tier down, so average/mean is a really bad indicator here. They should have used "mode" instead.
You should to a password reset on the account via https://iforgot.apple.com/pass..., which will be processed via your email address after all, and lock out all the connected devices.
It may or may not work depending on how the person sets up the Apple account. In other words, if the person has set a rescue email address different from what yours is in creating an Apple account, the method may not work. Besides, if the person has set up a 2-fac-Auth, then you would be out of luck because the phone number linked to the account is not going to be yours. See here for more information.
Mosquitoes are not a natural part of many food chains. For instance, before the arrival of Europeans, there were no mosquitoes in Hawaii. Same for many other islands in Polynesia.
If the mosquitoes in Hawaii were wiped out, it would be restoring the food chain to its more natural state, and would likely help native species against invaders.
Yes, natural state... You mean when no human living on the island? What do you think that how mosquitoes migrated to Hawaii? Fly themselves (for thousand of miles) there? I know that you are a very intelligent person, but please step back to try to look at a bigger picture...
It's a steaming pile of spyware built on top of an arguably otherwise acceptable operating system. If we could have the latter without the former, I'd have very few complaints. But, since we can't, I remain completely uninterested in switching from desktop Linux (Gentoo + XFCE).
Regardless Windows 10 is a "steaming pile of spyware," it is still an OS. Without an OS, you can't run a software which is programmed to be run on an OS. It is black and white answer in this case.
The only reason I would do texting is when I want the conversation recorded in some form (and it is voluntary by the other). Recording voice on the phone would require more steps to do so (including permission). Text or email is what I want in order to prove what has been said later on.
I don't read the fine print. I shouldn't have to. The bottom line price should be in the LARGE PRINT. It's the only thing that matters.
You don't read fine print and feel you shouldn't have to?
Good luck with that ignorant attitude in life. I can assure you that a mere cable provider won't be the only thing that fucks you over.
No, there shouldn't be any fine print at all! Why does any info need to be hidden from customers? The law should prevent any fine print. All informations should be presented in a similar manner in the first place. If customers don't want to read all of them, then the fault is on them, no question asked. Because companies create this kind of fine print, they can point their fingers on customers. I still don't see why there should be any fine print at all. Why?
Why do we even need to do that? Is it not possible for two people to come up with the same phrase independently?
Yes, it is possible. But it is very unlikely when you are going to write about something and your content is ALL similar to someone else who has already published a couple days before you did. And with this guy, it is not the first time but there are many other occurrences. How unlikely the guy didn't listen/read someone else reviews before he wrote his? Please tell me.
Why does person A. suddenly get to claim ownership?
It is copyright. In literature world, everyone will copy someone who is famous. As a result, you will end up not being able to find the originator who is the real talent. Besides, the work is unique in its way. One should at least give credit to the creator instead of taking the credit their own. Are you one of those who like to claim other people's work as your own?
FFS, the English language already has too many pointless words that probably only exist so that the world of academia can continue to make students regurgitate facts on the same crap all over again.
We seriously need to revisit ownership of words.
You oversimplify the whole concept. Words and contents are not the same. You are talking like if two houses used the same bricks and woods, then both houses are the same. Really?
Of course, English (or other languages) words may be limited, but what you build out of them can be infinite. If you are going to rephrase or copy someone else work, credit them. It is not that hard. If you want to make your own, then do so.
Hey genius, you are the one that don't understand the issue. The problem is NOT about red tide occurrence, but it is the effect being expanded. Those links are related to explanation why, and that is related to the issue. Again, not about red tide occurrence as you attempt to mislead the whole issue.
