Hey Jimmy*, drag is proportional to the square of velocity *because* of air resistance. Thought you might like to know, but knowledge doesn't seem to be your happy place.
Please re-read "Jimmy"'s post. He was speaking about energy being proportional to the square of velocity, not drag. Reading comprehension...
Some readers may get the hint (especially those working in recruitment...) that something is off with the restaurant. But unfortunately it still doesn't communicate what exactly is off. Is the service bad (as was the case)? Is the food bad? Do they try to screw you with the bill? Are other patrons too loud? Is the place dirty (inside)?
Some patrons might not care (or care less) about some bad points, so it still helps to know what exactly is wrong, in order to know whether it would matter to them. The original review conveys it very well, but a "job-certificate" style review would not...
What the FAA does not allow is any unlicensed aircraft (which includes models, balloons, kites, gliders, rockets and probably tennis balls), tethered or not, to be used directly or indirectly for commercial purposes.
So, does this mean professional tennis tournaments are forbidden in the US? So, how are these guys able to skirt the FAA regulations?
Just imagine these on a crowded ski slope, when every other ski runner has these. Not only will they tangle with each other, but also with the overhead ropes of ski lifts.
And if your particularly unlucky one stretch of tether might get tangled behind a rock while another stretch of the same tether gets tangled around a fellow skiers neck. No, I don't want these on any slope where I am skying. Even if the FAA don't have jurisdiction, hopefully the resorts will forbid them.
Yeah that's my real worry about all this child porn stuff - "everyone" turns their brains off and starts getting their pitchforks ready to lynch you.
Guess how convenient this is if the powers that be want to get rid of inconvenient you...
The NSA has a huge stash of child porn just for this purpose...

Oh, Slashdot. When will you build a monorail?
The monorail will come. After all, Lyle Lanley already has "given" Springfield a nice highschool. Moreover, he has refurbished the site of the old nuke station into a wonderful university campus teeming with life. He'll be glad to "give" the city a mono-rail, after all the time it is being talked about!
... and next steps will be doctors (or their personal assistants...) asking patients to shoot such selfies, including for conditions which leave no obvious visual sign (pain...)
Just check the IP address for plausibility and accept the expired cert.
That would work against men-in-the-middle who used DNS to hack themselves into your communication with slashdot, but not against men-in-the-middle who'd use routing shenanigans.
Calling them stupid is not fair, I think. A majority of the older generation,
Actually, the older generation are not the worst offenders. They are often surprisingly mature as far as risks in technology go.
The worst offenders are actually the facebook generation, who are so accustomed that they need to completely open up their browsers to play a game that they won't give any second thought if a malware site asks them to do the same.
That's like me leaving out a box of jewelry on my front lawn with a note saying that only Alice should take it and then getting upset when it's gone and Alice tells me that she didn't get it
It's more like you're hiding the box in a good hiding place ("under the huge rock at the end of Elm's street"), telling Alice about the place. But then Alice naively asks Mallory "do you know how to get to Elm's street, you know the one with the huge rock at the end?", and then everybody acts astonished when Mallory beat Alice to the chase...
If the user just clicks the link like a normal person, there is no problem.
This is also assuming that the user uses a "normal" mail program where you can actually just click on the link. Apparently, this is not necessarily possible in some of the Microsoft offerings.
Also, if the link is too long, the mail program may break it in 2, and not consider the whole thing to be the same link.

Try something more mundane. All Champaign must come from that one little region of France. Sparkling wine from anywhere else can't be called Champaign. Your knee-jerk reaction is to call that a crock of bull, but the fact of the matter is that if a bottle says 'Champaign' on it, you get what you're used to. Other sparkling wines may be the same or better, but the Champaign mark hypothetically guarantees your expectations -- even if they are lower.
But virtually all sparkling wines still come in the typical champaign bottle shape...

High-speed rail is less susceptible though because it's newly built without level crossings.
Not throughout... or else incidents such as this wouldn't happen...

Apparently, in that region of France there is... or rather, a shortage of quality places to eat.

Cesium is correct and actually works much better than sodium.
Somehow I don't think it's much of a concern in, say, Central African Republic, or Chad, or East Timor.
