Is it too powerful? I dunno I stopped using around the year 2000. I use tools like GIMP and Krita for GUI based editing, but most of my editing is done on the command line with tools like ImageMagick or custom python scripts with the Pillow library.
While all three stocks are over valued. At least Netflix and Tesla make things, (tv content and cars), Facebook just makes money by selling its users data and maintaining its walled garden.
That was my first thought, I thought vegetarians would avoid it. But I run a science club at a university, and my Indian and Pakistani students who were raised vegetarian cannot get enough of the new meat. WE have a club outing every semester and I have to limit the number of spots. Maybe it is because they are more into the ecology and biotechnology aspects of it.
If I were you I would probably still not try it (too risky), but I doubt you would have any allergic reaction. The soy plant is not involved in the process. They took the protein DNA sequence from soy and inserted it into yeast, so really it is a yeast product not soy. Other ingredients include coconut and potato.
Much like human insulin is produced by yeast, but we do not have to worry about the blood type of the insulin sequence that came from human.
It is hard to crunch the exact numbers, but I am in the camp that Amazon helps the USPS stay afloat, by giving them something to do. The way the USPS is structured government control but technically independent, there is not way there they can turn a profit.
That said, this is just going to push Bezos to implement his Uber/Lyft delivery even quicker. I've seen those white van of Amazon, tossing packages on my door stop, taking a picture, sprinting back to their van, and speeding off to their next drop.
What do we call this new delivery service: peer-to-peer package delivery?
Common definitions of an organ, Webster: > a. differentiated structure (such as a heart, kidney, leaf, or stem) consisting of cells and tissues and performing some specific function in an organism. > b. bodily parts performing a function or cooperating in an activity the eyes and related structures that make up the visual organs.
Wikipedia: > Organs are collections of tissues with a similar function.
Britannica: > a group of tissues in a living organism that have been adapted to perform a specific function.
Oxford: > part of an organism which is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function.
These newly discovered channels, do not seem to consist of either cells or tissues and does not appear to be self-contained. I just feel like the authors thought, "if we say it might be a new organ we'll get bigger headlines."
I have been using Firefox since when it was only part of mozilla, but I have since moved to Waterfox, because I have not been able to replace my old extensions. And the newer version of my old extensions, e.g. noscript, really slow down the new firefox browser.
For some reason, I seem more concerned that the navy would allow some piece of software to phone-home to the company than the fact that they installed the software on multiple machines. I assume that is how they know the navy had 100,000 installs of their software.
Could the company then release an update that would essentially create a bot net of navy computers?
I like to see machine learning fail and how it fails. Based on the assumption of an all or nothing training set, neural networks will be 100% confident in their choice and also wrong.
This.gif shows three different hand positions that all communicate the number three:
I doubt the fixed it, but the new Quantum "faster" Firefox was really dragging down my system. At first, I thought some malicious add-on was mining cryptocurrency on my machine. But it turns out Firefox was just spawning orphan processes. I found the fix at the link below, which is basically to disable multi-threading in Firefox.
I am still missing a few of my favorite add-ons as well. The bulk download manager DownThemAll was great, but it sounds like Firefox does not want that functionality, so no add-on has yet to be as useful.
Based on my limited understanding, the block size is fixed at 1MB and each transaction is around 226 bytes. A block occurs every 20 minutes, so bitcoin can only have about 232 transactions per minute, and transactions are (some how) prioritized by age and fee. It is well known the miners will flood the transaction back log to increase the fees, because the miners claim the additional fees.
SegWit, which went into effect in August (?), I think was supposed to reduce the transaction size, but keep the block size the same. SegWit also allows some sort of Lightning Network, which is basically a service that will confirm transaction off of the block chain faster for a higher fee. The Bitcoin Cash people rejected this as being too proprietary and hence their fork.
The fork Bitcoin2X a.k.a. SegWit2X increased the block size to 2MB.
I am not sure what Bitcoin Cash did, but as stated they rejected SegWit, and must have increased the block size, but they are handling the increased transaction volume fine.
AFAIK, all other Bitcoin forks (Gold, Platinum) are money grabbing schemes.
The recommended fee is 0.000339 BTC or about $4.41 at current values [1]. Fee are the same if you are transferring less than a US penny or more than a million dollars. For any transaction, you can use less fee and wait (much) longer or a larger fee have a shorter transaction time.
Fees have really been the driving force behind the recent Bitcoin forks. Some argue that bitcoin should be a store of value (not me) rather an a tool for transferring money. Independent of your opinion on the fork Bitcoin Cash, I believe they are doing it right with transaction fees [2], which currently is about $0.15 per transaction, again independent of transaction amount.
When I lived in San Diego, my biggest complaint about In-N-Out Burger is that they never have enough parking spaces and their drive through line is so long that it also blocks parking spaces.
Now they are taking their limited parking and giving spaces to Tesla-only car charging. Own a Chevy Bolt/Volt, Ford Energi, Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, Fiat 500e, Nissan Leaf, no charging for you.
I found a better article on the elements that go into batteries. The Tesla CTO is quoted as being worried more about Cobalt. Though the Tesla batteries do contain Nickel, but the Nissan Leaf does not.
Good point, I looked it up and I was wrong: "Normal transaction takes up to 2.5 minutes to get included in a block. If you use instantsend transaction gets confirmed within one second." Also, I guess they dropped the InstantSend fee to $0.20.
Blame the miners. Miners receive the transaction fees whenever they receive the block award. So, the miner have been trying their best to keep the fees as high as possible. They do this by creating several small transactions they basically send the coins to themselves creating a backlog. Part of this whole forking bitcoin is related to this.
Personally, I support Dash because they have very low fees 0.0001 Dash (=$0.03) for normal transactions and you can have ultra fast transactions with several confirmations at less than 15 minutes for 0.01 dash (=$3).
I have a small stake in Dash, so do your own research. Many of the teenage crytpo-nuts hate dash, but it run by many slashdot-aged (middle-aged) developers and does not get into flamewars.
Interestingly, Bill Gates was the richest from 2000 to 2007, when is fortune kept going down every year. Carlos Slim and Warren Buffet over taking him sometime and then in 2013 Gates is back on top.

Works much better like this:
Same here, but I use WaterFox on my Mac. It appears PaleMoon is not on mac, yet.

I should also say that while leghemoglobin, is different from human hemoglobin or myoglobin, all have heme that binds oxygen and turns red.
Oh my god, so much wrong with this sentence:

I thought we moved from NiMH batteries to Lithium ion in cars. Only the lowly no EV range hybrids use nickel. Correct me if I am wrong.
