Northern spain is about the same latitude as Hokkaido, Japan. Northern spain rarely sees snow, Hokkaido routinely sees -30 degree C weather and ice floes on the ocean. Comparing by latitude isn't really valid.
The whole of Europe is warmer than the latitude suggests, if you compare to other parts of the world, thanks to the jet stream. I guess in a similar way to N. California vs East Coast USA. Spain is famously sunny and hot during the afternoons in summer. They also have their clocks set relatively late, so the sun is out till 9pm and it's still twilight well past 10pm.
They started doing this in Tokyo several years ago. They painted a lot of major roads green. I was worried about them being slippery in the rain, at first, but they turned out to be no worse than bare asphalt, and I believe they helped stem the heat island effect.
Hyperloop One has revealed its plans for connecting Europe via its Hyperloop transportation system that can* move passengers/cargo at airlines speeds for a fraction of the cost of air travel.
Photons are only particles when they interact with something. Here, they're using interaction-free measurement, communicating by modulating the phase of the wave function in a way that's detectable without collapsing it, and thus no energy transfer or 'particle'.
So much this! I don't CC: the boss the first time around. If I have to do it, it's to let you know I'm no longer the only one waiting for you to get your ass in gear.
I'd hate to have someone do it all the time, though. Similarly putting "request read receipt" on emails. Sometimes necessary, but doing it all the time will get you hated with a passion.
I prefer to have the map on the screen with a north-up orientation no matter which way I'm travelling. I find it helps me keep my bearings and learn routes rather than surrender to the machine's step-by-step instructrions.
What absolute bollocks. Replace the word "gold" with any other element and your entire 'justification' remains just as valid. Not to mention the fact that an 'ounce' is an arbitrary measure of anything. That the price of 'one' (an arbitrary amount) bitcoin has surpassed the price of one ounce (arbitrary measure) of gold (arbitrary element, one of many that we consider 'valuable') is even less notable than the clock ticking over from one year to another, in our arbitrarily decided calendar.
>So, again. Want to understand a puppy? Notice that the very first thing they do any time they interact with anything of any kind any where, is to sniff it first. So, when your puppy moves his nose towards an object, whether or not he goes and smells it, he's talking about it to you. That's why one of the very first "tricks" I train in a puppy is "touch" where he touches his nose to something -- and if you really understand what I've been saying, then you won't be surprised that the first thing I teach him to to "touch" is the tip of my finger.
So your first inter-species communication is literally "smell my finger"
Are they also out of the standalone computer business? The Mac Pro is a dinosaur, the iMacs are still OK but looking terribly underpowered right now. Even if the computer essentially 'comes for free' with the 5k monitor.
It's solar freakin' obvious to anyone with half a brain.
There is no use case where paving a road with glass tiles just so you can embed PV cells in them is anything like as safe, efficient, cheap as putting PV cells over or beside the road. Roads are expensive to maintain when paved with the hardiest of substances, and PV cells are fragile and inefficient when angled incorrectly.
I know, this gets my goat every time, but these days the word "toxin" is used so often to mean "something toxic", that I fear it will essentially lose its real meaning very soon.
I'm sure what spraying needed doing has been done, but FTFA:
"Flowertown Bees was listed on local records but not in the state’s voluntary registry of pollinators, according to Weyman. “We know where the big ones are,” he said, “but as you can see this was a fairly large operation and almost right smack dab in the spray path.” "
So I don't know if the sprayers were obligated to check local records as well as state records, but there is a system in place to protect pollinators, and Flowertown neglected to get themselves on the state registry, so they are at least partially to blame for their own demise.
sigh... if you want to track down the owners of the wallets of all the preceding transactions before the one who paid you, then yeah. Let me know how that goes for you...
Otherwise it's pretty damned obscure. The point of the article was DIRECT identification of payers by name authenticated by credit card details etc.
Whatever the use for the electricity... lighting, heated road, heck.. vending machines at convenient but otherwise deserted points...
Putting regular cheap thin-film solar panels OVER the road is infinitely cheaper, more efficient (angle control) and safer than trying to replace cheap and malleable asphalt with fucking tempered-glass tiles containing expensive electronics, and having to maintain/replace those as they get mangled by heavy traffic. Have you ever seen a paved road?? Paved pedestrian walkways suffer from cracked concrete slabs all the time. How the hell is a tempered glass crazy-pave supposed to be safe and durable?
This idea is complete bullshit, yet people buy into it. I need to come up with some snake-oil like this.
It's because most SIM cards supplied for use with iPads are data-only. SMS is not sent over a data connection. You need SMS explicitly enabled, which would normally be done only with a 'minutes+sms' package.

It's a pun on the gameplan for Tesla models. The model S was first, we now have model 3 and X, and the final model is supposed to be the model Y.
S3XY
What Tesla did to soften the blow, was to register around 500 cars as owned by Tesla HK.
So you can still buy a "used" Tesla with less than 20 miles on the clock, the 'one previous owner' being Tesla itself.
Obviously this took quite a bit of investment, and won't last long, but it's managed to keep down the price of used Teslas for now.

And a 400x increase in less than two years.
A currency with a built-in effective inflation rate of negative 99.75% isn't useful as a currency at all.

Wouldn't their minds better be put at rest by taking their own STD test? Why the concern over Assange's well-being?
... and I thought this place had a sense of humour.

What other monitor has a 5k screen and can connect to the new macbook pro without an adaptor?
I'm not sure maintaining such low pressure all the way down the tube is feasible even for LA-San Francisco, let alone interstate distances.

Parent was referring to a MacBOOK pro.
Can't build one of those.
And the Thinkpad referred to by the poster below has shitty battery life and a crap monitor, no doubt.
My MBP retina 2012 is also still doing very well, thanks.
