If your an actual fisherman you will know that yes there are a lot less fish out there now then there was 10 years ago and even less than 20 years ago.
I can remember fishing for flounder with coat hangers, treble hooks, and weights. you would throw it into the surf and just drag it back snagging them. We could catch all we want any time. Now you go out and are lucky to get one or two in a full days fishing.
We have been extremely irresponsible in how we have managed fish populations. I don't have an answer but i do like and encourage farm raised fish as that is something that is inherently sustainable.
define kids? my son was riding a bike before 2 and ye i made and still do make him wear a helmet. But when he is 10+ (or even earlier) i'm not going to because i don't feel i should be babying him.
But this is my choice as a parent and a person, the government should not be mandating that i shield my child or my self from every possible source harm.
Context, if you are "cycling" in the sense of people on road bikes down major roads, then yes it is wise to were a helmet. If you are riding around in a neighborhood or even in an urban down town area, requiring it is overkill.
It's not that hard in a "team" setting if they are doing proper performance reviews and individual goal setting/growth plans. Too many companies (mine included) completely skim over this step of interaction with their employees. In the end it is in the companies own interest to know what is in your interests so that they can be aligned as much as possible, but that concept seems lost on current employers.
But honestly if that was a true statement, why on earth would they take the PR hit for it? IF you had an old system that was limited to 16 and silently discarded the rest, why not just use that to grow.
A) Person logs in with password of length >16 char. Hash and test, if failed (B) B) Hash first 16 char and test, if passed (C) C) Ask user to confirm password D) If original and confirmed password match hash full password and Store. User will now pass on step A next time.
Really isn't' that hard, they could have silently done it without any PR, and nothing more than a couple of people who might have to reset their password. And this just like my previous does not require them to store it in plain text, i have no idea why people keep thinking you would need to do that to make a change like this.
Well if you wanted to go to a new system that is limited to 16 char.. and given they have an account disable due to inactivity.
then from the day of enforcement to the limit of disable due to inactivity you could: A) let someone login and check the hash -> if invalid truncate incoming password to 16 and check hash (depending on method in C) B) if it's valid check the length of the string used to create the hash C) if the length is >16 warn/force user to change password AND/OR silently truncate password used to 16chars then hash and store new hash. D) after you pass the limit of the disabled due to inactivity you remove all checks as either accounts are all =16 chars or they are disabled by normal policy.
I've seen a similar system used to transition a site from plain hashed passwords to hash + salt passwords, it's not instant, but it works just fine in getting you to your goal.
I can't seem to find a picture, but if there is a "huge air gap" then you should be able to get away with filling that gap with non electrically conductive thermal grease to assist moving the heat. Then cool the memory chip and/or cap it so that you can fill the void completely and allow direct heat-sink to grease contact along the edges.
Because it should only tax items to which value was added. If we taxed items as they change hands it would overnight stop speculation for the sake of driving prices.
I don't see how this would discourage small businesses as they are already paying taxes on everything except items which they directly resell, where someone who manufactures has to pay it on raw materials. as it stands we give a break to the companies who do not add value to an item as it passes through them.
I've got a template i'm working on, for a biz process of patenting existing inventions that lack patents and collecting royalties from said invention's use, looking to patent the act of doing it (aka tax the trolls that are bound to appear).
but even with chemical energy being higher, if the video is correct an he can get 30/50 shots per charge and ~500j per shot (personally i question this number).
Ramp up the power and cut the number of shots down and you could have a very scary, very quite, and possibly very effective weapon.
But my bet based on reality is that this is actually nowhere near 500j of output per shot as that is just short of the power of a normal 9mm bullet..
I could see this being a very interesting rifle though
while i'm sure it's not a durable as carbon steel, my bet is that it could be usable for more than single shot, and if you could print your on replacement parts it might be very feasible for initial prototyping.
They have done a bit of modeling already, and it is showing promises. I'd call it a bit more than just a sketch, by bet is that with the funds they could do scale wind tunnel and fluid tests, which is listed as their next steps.
The funny thing about them saying you wouldn't download a car, is that the design of cars can't be copyrighted.. its an industry where you can copy anything you see design wise.
>If you fill 500GB in 24 hours, there is no way a portable hard drive will survive for longer than about a year
These are fullsize desktop drives for exactly that reason.
You realize that being "full size desktop drives" makes zero difference for write duty cycle on mechanical drives?
As long as your not on the bleeding edge of platter density then the manufacturers use the same process for all platters both large and small. For lower capacity larger drives they just reduce the number of platters in the drive.
Well their first one would be just about all the internals of the iphones up until the 4. second would be the model F700, which the judge did not allow in the case..
Apple in the case got to accuse the F700 of copying the iPhone, when in reality the F700 was on the market before the first iPhone.
I'll stop there because your only posting this in a thread focused on saying Samsung copied Apple. in reality everyone takes inspiration from everyone else, but it isn't copying.
Stock Miata SCCA in Sebring a few years back, all the cars had the back of the left headlight cover bent down - makes a cold air intake scoop... Stock class allows any sway bar, I knew a guy that ran one so big (rigid) it was tearing off the mounting brackets when he ran on "stock" (R compound) tires. And the classic stock class trick (all piston engines) is to rebuild the engine with a max allowable overbore, blueprint, 3 angle valves, etc. etc.
Even in Stock SCCA, the serious guys bend the rules when they can.
I agree - and that would be me.. I tore a weld 4 ft on my midget with an over sized sway bar and r-comps. luckily my miata hasn't broken anything yet.
If you want real stock, show room stock is the class to run at the nationals.. only safety equipment is allowed and not even all of it.
yeap - and these data loggers are awesome for helping you realize where you are messing up.. Just being able to review the last laps angle of approach and breaking/accelerating data makes for huge gains.. it's the last 1/10th of a second that's the real pain to make up.

That was always fun to do in the labs, so much fun.
made up/dis-proven or not.

i had the same idea, just with something else, I wish i had mod points.

given the option i'd do it, same as a one way trip to mars
it's in my short list to test

and the final customer has more money to pay it as they have zero income tax. your paying for it one way or another.

I'm a fan of sales tax over income tax, but it should be at every point in the chain. I'm not a fan of sales tax only applying to final sale.
Just wait, just wait

a rifle version of this would be very interesting, that might be a fun project.
I can't think of any plastics that are strong enough to be of any use in making a firearm
I'm not a firearm person, but you would be surprised what modern plastics can withstand.
a very common industrial one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyoxymethylene

If you want real stock, show room stock is the class to run at the nationals.. only safety equipment is allowed and not even all of it.
At least in SCCA stock mean stock.. NASCAR shouldn't be allowed to call it's self stock car racing, as they have forgotten what the word stock means.
