Where does the article even hint at wave drag disappearing at higher supersonic speed?
"The effect is typically seen on aircraft at transonic speeds (about Mach 0.8)..."
I found it in less than 30 seconds.
Wrong. Why don't you do some basic fact-checking yourself before wrongly accusing others?
I'm certainly willing to completely trust conclusory statements simply thrown out there by "Aviation Pete." Especially ones that contradict the very source that such a self-professed fount of chose to cite in the first place.
Even though Wikipedia is suspect and the entry has very sparse backing, you, sir, could not surpass even that frighteningly low bar.
That was not my impression. There's a bulk, "mechanical" process where the temperature stays constant because water is boiled into steam which leaves the system. But there's also an underlying, physiochemical phase transition where you could (theoretically) add energy just short of the enthalpy of vaporization without generating any additional steam (remember, the saturated gas phase issue). You can't actually do that due to statistical thermodynamics, but the enthalpy of vaporization is a form of physical bond breaking, not merely energy being lost due to the generation of steam.
The reason water absorbs heat at 100C and doesn't increase in temperature is because the kinetic energy of some of the water molecules become high enough that they escape the pot in the form of steam.
That is not what he was referring to. There's an enthalpy of vaporization that requires that you transfer energy to the system (heat) in order to make the leap from liquid to gas at the boiling point of the liquid. That phase transition occurs at constant temperature so long as you're maintaining constant pressure, gas phase saturation, blah blah blah (the typical simplifying assumptions made in physical chemistry texts).
The former is perfectly fine. The latter is not acceptable - regardless of what Zuckerberg says.
Says who? And that's not an academic question.
The reports that I have read say that Zuckerberg has a majority of the voting power in Facebook shares. That was no secret when others bought into Facebook's public offering. Therefore if Zuckerberg says so there's virtually nothing that the board of directors, shareholders, or God can do to change it.
If you think that shareholders can simply sue the company because they disagree, I'd like to introduce you to a little friend called the "business judgment rule." It's not nearly so easy.
Facebook is just a forum they should stay neutral and let the Democratic process work.
This. All damn day long. * * * TL;DR - Know your fucking place, Facebook.
Facebook's place is whatever Facebook wants it to be, which will be determined by its management, its employees, and perhaps most importantly how this affects its long term interests (both in user reaction and Trumpian threats to loosen up defamation law to make people who criticize Trump far easier to punish).
No law requires organizations to uphold mid-20th century journalistic ethics, and those ethics never extended to the editorial page to begin with. Those ethics won out in the marketplace of ideas for a time, and they'll have to continue to complete in that marketplace now. If Facebook wants to editorialize, that's their place, and your only option is to counter-editorialize and/or leave.
There are only two sets of memory if you consider the register file to be memory instead of cache (which you apparently do). The problem is, the published specifications demonstrate that you are simply wrong.
4MB of L2 cache and ~14MB of register file space per GPU means that there is about 151 million bits associated with cache and "memory." On a chip with 15.3 billion transistors, that comfortably means that you have about 15 billion transistors for GPU logic.
There is everything to indicate the specs of the chip, and you've lost your bet. Now go away.
It's a FinFET device. You can represent more than 1 binary bit per transistor by using multi-gate transistors.
Oh, for God's sake, I ignored this at first but now it's been modded up.
15 billion is the transistor count for the GPU logic. It's not the transistor count for the HMB2 memory installed alongside the GPU on the interposer. Adding an interposer does not suffice to make it all the same chip (hint from TFS: "multichip module").
FinFET is neither necessary nor sufficient to for multi-level-cell-like bit representation. That's also a flash storage technology, not a logic or volatile memory technology (at least in mass produced products).
It's 15 days to Weed Day. Put down whatever you're smoking and get back to work.
The little dog that used to just go yap yap yap is now frothing at the mouth, too. Isn't it time to euthenize it?
...
I like how you call them dogs and get an openly racist comment modded up to +5, you racist piece of shit.
I believe both the original post and the first reply used the term "dog" (note: signular) to refer to the nation, not the term "dogs" to refer to the people. That would make them nationalist pieces of shit, not racist pieces of shit, you ignorant, race-baiting piece of shit.
So what if the Earth is slightly lower in altitude of it's planar orbit around the sun? The northern hemisphere would be warmer, ice would melt. The southern hemisphere would experience the opposite, with the antarctic increasing in the accumulation of ice.
Yet I have seen very little research into this possibility that could pose a valid explanation for Earth's present climate changes.
There's been very little research into this possibility because it violates the laws of physics. You could not consistently orbit "slightly lower in altitude of [Earth's] planar orbit around the sun" without the near constant intervention of really, really large rockets.
Pick an orbital plane that you want to label as the "normal" one. Now shift the planet "below" the orbital plane due to, say, the combined gravitational pull of most of the other planets (September 2040 superalignment; y'all's days are numbered!). The problem is that the planet will still orbit the barycenter of the solar system, which also moves around slightly, but not much. The barycenter will "pull" the planet up. Thus means that, just like when you spin a tetherball in a flat plane and then push or hit the ball down, if the Earth were to descend "below" the normal plane, it would for half an orbit but pop up "above" the orbital plane for the other half. Blah blah blah, Earth gravity and air resistance to rotation of the ball make this a poor model, but at least it's within the realm of ordinary experience.
Guess what already causes the northern hemisphere to be warmer and the southern hemisphere to experience the opposite? The axial tilt of the Earth's rotation relative to its orbit. We call it winter and summer. It reverses every 6 months. can have subtle effects on the precise timing of certain transitions, but you're not going to escape the reversal of conditions every 6 months.
Restoring something that someone has removed is the same as making a copy. It is not distributing.
If the license applied to the project didn't explicitly mention "copying, distribution, and modification" that distinction might possibly have meant something.
But the license does. So the distinction does not.
For example Warren Buffet, while saying his taxes should be raised in political venues, in real life dodges taxes. He is dodging inheritance taxes by transferring money to the Gates foundation.
We should put a stop to that. And to all charitable deductions from taxes. After all, every dollar that one thoughtlessly tithes to a church or donates to a 501(c)(3) is money that can't be passed on to heirs, and therefore is being greedily ripped away from the reach of the estate tax by the 83% of Americans that give to charity.
Putting a fireall [sic] between the local clients and the rest of the Internet, or even port blocking certain classes of internal traffic, protects the clients and the rest of the Internet from quite a few vulnerabilities, such as unsecured sharing of the "C$" share with no admin password that is prevalent on poorly managed Windows laptops. And it reduces the cost of the service for the hotel by allowing bandwidth limiting on the controlled "free" access.
The concept went right over your head, didn't it?
If you set up your own WiFi hotspot, say using your cellular phone, you are not putting traffic on the facility network, you are not causing the facility to incur costs for bandwidth, and you are not in any sense the facility's local client. You are a client of your cellular provider's network, using a your own WiFi connection between your own cell phone and your other devices (over public airwaves; without connecting to the facility's WiFi network). That connection is presumably entirely private to your own devices (assuming that you're password protected your hotspot; my own device will not provide a WiFi hotspot without one).
Putting a firewall between a customer and the customer's cellular provider is not the facility's job. Policing the internet (as opposed to the facility LAN) is not the facility's job. And appropriating public airwaves (in this case WiFi frequencies) for the exclusive use of the facility is quite simply illegal.
Security reasons have very little to do actively interfering with WiFi hotspots. There is only one potentially valid concern - SSID spoofing. If you want to take on the FCC concerning that issue - go for it. But if the SSID is not the same as your facility's SSID, then you should not and legally cannot interfere with that other wireless network. Full stop.
NVMe is making its arrival to PCs as well. Apple is just often among the first to adopt the coolest and most fresh hi-tech.

Search this list for laptops which had the interface well before Apple introduced it in their line.
Why not work on real pci-e ext cables / buses that does not need bios or bridge chips and is not capped at pci-e 3.0 X4 (at best)
Something about high bandwidth signals being more difficult to transport as conductor length increases, blah blah blah, more power/error correction/signal shenanigans (differential versus single-ended), and most users not wanting to pay so that Joe_Dragon can run a high end video card off of his laptop.
If they were known to be stolen, then MS has a duty to limit losses. They can blacklist the keys and prevent further activation. If they were "known to have been stolen" then MS should have limited their losses as soon as they found out.
It's copyright infringement whether the copy was activated or not - the copyright act prohibits unauthorized reproduction, not unauthorized activation. The copyright is also registered. That means that they are entitled to statutory damages whether they could have acted to further limit their losses or not.
But allowing thousands of fraudulent activations is a joke. More than a few a year should trigger alarm bells at Redmond.
MS can't prove either of these. Even if they know the authorized licensee, they don't know who is using the keys thousands of times. They can't know who it isn't without knowing who it is. If they knew who it is, they wouldn't need to subpoena for info. The same thing goes for the region.
They don't have to prove either of those at this time -- they simply have to show that what they are requesting is relevant to those facts. The identify of the subscriber is certainly relevant to determing whether that person is an authorized licensee and is licensed to use those keys within that region.
It's also not the court's job to enforce the minutia of the license terms such as region, number of activations, transference, etc., especially when MS is so lackadaisical as to allow the keys to be stolen and for unauthorized activations to go on for so long.
It's precisely the court's job to enforce the minutia of the license terms, because the license terms are a condition of the license (e.g., "we grant you the right to install and run that one copy on one computer (the licensed computer), for use by one person at a time, but only if you comply with all the terms of this agreement." Without the license it's copyright infringement. The rules don't change simply because it's Microsoft enforcing a windows license and not an open source advocate enforcing the GPL.
Have fun with your theories of how this should work, but no Federal district court (or appellate court) is going to buy them because their job is to interpret and enforce the statute, not ad hoc theories of mitigation, laches, and evidence that you learned from poorly scripted TV dramas.
I am shocked, shocked I say, that a system intended to "establish user reputation" might be incompatible with anonymity, privacy, and a right to be forgotten.
It's almost as if one is expected to build a reputation, be accountable to that reputation, and tolerate discussion of that reputation by others in order to foster relationships more wide ranging than "I know this guy" friend-of-friend contacts.
In a business where trust is a key factor, Blecharcyzk suggested that the site could require higher levels of reputation from users in order to access more exclusive types of accommodation.
Yes, because I'm not going to permit johnsmith_2016 to have the run of my (hypothetical) million dollar furnished house while I'm away for two weeks, whether AirBnB provides insurance or not.

What you state matched Intel chips years ago. Then in 2015, Haswell-E CPUs came out supporting 40 cpu lanes. Each x16 slot on those boards is allocated a full 16 lanes.
It helps if you read what was written before you reply.
"At the end of the day you're sharing either the 16 CPU-provided lanes or the 4 chipset provided lanes in Intel's consumer-oriented boards. You have to go to the LGA2011 socket and workstation chipsets to gain more available bandwidth to the CPU."
Is Haswell-E a consumer-oriented platform? No. Is it LGA2011 socket? Yes. Did I mention that it gives more available bandwidth? Yes.
Also the DMI bus on Skylake generation is now a x8 PCIe link not a x4.
No. Pre-Skylake was DMI 2.0 (PCIe 2.0 x4 equivalent) and Skylake is DMI 3.0 (PCIe 3.0 x4 equivalent). Any PCIe slots coming off the consumer chipsets are x4 or less.
I challenge you to find an electrical x8 slot coming off any Intel consumer chipset, 100 series or earlier. I would hedge and say without a PLX chip being involved, but I don't think any manufacturer is insane enough to hang a PLX chip off the chipset instead of the CPU-provided lanes simply to provide a wider I/O card slot.
So now what to do... GPU in x16 slot, and slow down my fast SSD by putting it in a x8? Or have my SSD be nice and fast by putting it in the x16 slot and slow down my FPS by putting the GPU in the s8 slot?
Simply, no.
You are right about the physical PCIe slot connectors.
You could be right about the physical PCIe slot wiring, but in many boards with two x16 slots (assuming that there are only two, with the chipset-wired slots not being physically x16) both are electrically wired to be x16. You do not have to put a card in a specific one of the two slots to have an operational x16 connection.
You are wrong about the functional connections. I'll assume an Intel-compantible motherboard since that is what I'm familiar with. AMD-compatible motherboards could be different - I simply do not know.
Intel CPUs provide 16 PCIe lanes for connection to the x16 slot(s). If you have one card inserted, that slot will be allocated all 16 lanes. If you have two cards inserted in a board providing two slots, each slot will be allocated 8 lanes. In Z170 boards there could be three CPU-connected slots, and with three cards inserted in such a board, the slots would be allocated x8/x4/x4. See here.
If you connect your GPU and this SSD at the same time, you will be either x8/x8 (if using CPU-connected slots) or x16/x4 (if using one CPU-connected slot and one chipset-connected slot). That x4 would also be shared with every other I/O connection in the system due to the DMI "x4" like bandwidth limitation.
PCIe PLXs switches add lanes to slots, but do not add further connections to the CPU or chipset. At the end of the day you're sharing either the 16 CPU-provided lanes or the 4 chipset provided lanes in Intel's consumer-oriented boards. You have to go to the LGA2011 socket and workstation chipsets to gain more available bandwidth to the CPU.
Natural radiation exposure for Denver, CO (5280ft): 12mSv per year.
It gets better...
Naturally occurring background radiation is the main source of exposure for most people, and provides some perspective on radiation exposure from nuclear energy. The average dose received by all of us from background radiation is around 2.4 mSv/yr, which can vary depending on the geology and altitude where people live â" ranging between 1 and 10 mSv/yr, but can be more than 50 mSv/yr. The highest known level of background radiation affecting a substantial population is in Kerala and Madras states in India where some 140,000 people receive doses which average over 15 millisievert per year from gamma radiation, in addition to a similar dose from radon. Comparable levels occur in Brazil and Sudan, with average exposures up to about 40 mSv/yr to many people. (The highest level of natural background radiation recorded is on a Brazilian beach: 800 mSv/yr, but people donâ(TM)t live there.)Several places are known in Iran, India and Europe where natural background radiation gives an annual dose of more than 100 mSv to people and up to 260 mSv (at Ramsar in Iran, where some 200,000 people are exposed to more than 10 mSv/yr). Lifetime doses from natural radiation range up to several thousand millisievert. However, there is no evidence of increased cancers or other health problems arising from these high natural levels. The millions of nuclear workers that have been monitored closely for 50 years have no higher cancer mortality than the general population but have had up to ten times the average dose. People living in Colorado and Wyoming have twice the annual dose as those in Los Angeles, but have lower cancer rates. Source
5 mSv is the additional annual exposure of your typical aircraft crew flying North American routes. Since that industry routinely hits that threshold, shall we shut it down too?
I don't give a shit who the fuck submitted this; I'm [somewhat] pro-nuke and even I'm not interested in playing "shoot the messenger;" how about the rest of you refrain as well? (Yeah, right.)
"Shoot the messenger" means that you treat the bearer of bad news as if they were to blame for the news.
It has noting to do with decrying the messenger as an frequent source of biased and incomplete information, nor the site's unusually frequent use of his submissions (a la Bennett Hazelton and others).

If Disney was truly concerned with limiting overcrowding, a very simple solution would be limit the number of tickets sold. Once the park is sold out for the day, it is sold out. Works at stadiums, works on Broadway, works just about everywhere. But then, that solution won't increase the profits like a 20% price increase will.
Yeah! Because secondary ticket markets (a.k.a. brokers and scalping) simply do not exist for stadiums, broadway, concerts, etc. That's 20% that will be going into little Joe's college fund instead of maushwitz's corporate coffers.
It's a good thing big Joe can buy any ticket he wants at face value through simple diligence and competition with other average Joes. Tickets absolultely will not sell out in 30 seconds or less with essentially no opportunity for a guy (or gal) with a home computer to puchase them as brokers buy thousands of passes in order to mark them up to what the market will bear.
Semi-paywalled source of more accurate information here
From back on the 15th:
On Wednesday Entergy, the company that owns Indian Point, said the highest concentration of elevated tritium levels had increased by about 80 percent from the first test to the second, "fluctuations that can be expected as the material migrates."
Entergy spokesperson Jerry Nappi said on Saturday, though, that the groundwater monitoring well that had increased by 80 percent was back down to its initial elevated level from the first sample, which was expected.
and
"[An inspector] saw leakage that supports the theory that the water came from [a] water storage tank," Neil Sheehan, Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesperson, said Friday. * * * The NRC inspector saw boron crystals in the pipe tunnel where the suspected leak occurred.
No current absolute numbers, but the article reports:
The NRC investigated a similar leak at the plant almost two years ago. In April 2014 Indian Point Unit 2 reported a leak of 687,000 picocuries per liter, Sheehan said.
"To put that into perspective, the EPA safe drinking water limit for tritium is 20,000 picocuries per liter," he said. "However, groundwater at Indian Point is not used for drinking-water purposes."
33 times the drinking water limit? Not scary. Find the leak, fix the problem, make a rational decision whether the maintenance risks are beginning to exceed the benefits of the plant to begin a plan for refurbishment or retirement.

Everything else runs off chipset-provided PCIe lanes, which are connected to the CPU by a PCIe x4-like . Thus, for example, in my Ivy Bridge system (Z68), there is a third PCIe x16 physical slot that is PCIe x4 electrically wired and functionally PCIe x1-connected unless I set a BIOS option that disables certain other peripherals (USB3 and eSATA add-ons).
If you connect your GPU and this SSD at the same time, you will be either x8/x8 (if using CPU-connected slots) or x16/x4 (if using one CPU-connected slot and one chipset-connected slot). That x4 would also be shared with every other I/O connection in the system due to the DMI "x4" like bandwidth limitation.
PCIe PLXs switches add lanes to slots, but do not add further connections to the CPU or chipset. At the end of the day you're sharing either the 16 CPU-provided lanes or the 4 chipset provided lanes in Intel's consumer-oriented boards. You have to go to the LGA2011 socket and workstation chipsets to gain more available bandwidth to the CPU.
It gets better...
5 mSv is the additional annual exposure of your typical aircraft crew flying North American routes. Since that industry routinely hits that threshold, shall we shut it down too?
"Shoot the messenger" means that you treat the bearer of bad news as if they were to blame for the news.
It has noting to do with decrying the messenger as an frequent source of biased and incomplete information, nor the site's unusually frequent use of his submissions (a la Bennett Hazelton and others).
So, no.
The laws forbidding placing classified materials on unsecured servers connected to the public internet were in place BEFORE Hilary's email server was created.
Stop confusing FOIA and recordkeeping compliance with classification and information security. They're different issues.
Yeah! Because secondary ticket markets (a.k.a. brokers and scalping) simply do not exist for stadiums, broadway, concerts, etc. That's 20% that will be going into little Joe's college fund instead of maushwitz's corporate coffers.
It's a good thing big Joe can buy any ticket he wants at face value through simple diligence and competition with other average Joes. Tickets absolultely will not sell out in 30 seconds or less with essentially no opportunity for a guy (or gal) with a home computer to puchase them as brokers buy thousands of passes in order to mark them up to what the market will bear.
You idiot...

No current absolute numbers, but the article reports:
33 times the drinking water limit? Not scary. Find the leak, fix the problem, make a rational decision whether the maintenance risks are beginning to exceed the benefits of the plant to begin a plan for refurbishment or retirement.
