Like how Marvel writers lately keep saying they're getting hate for writing strong female leads, when really they're getting hate for writing idiotic Mary Sue's.
Seems to me like it's about the couples transcending national borders, and starting to create a "European" identity rather than national identities.
Wirecutter used to be good, but they've pretty much entirely sold out to whoever pays them I think. The Spruce Eats seems maybe slightly better than them these days for that sorta household stuff?
TechGearLab and OutdoorGearLab are still good.
Project Farm on YouTube is top tier testing for tools and whatever else catches his eye, though I wish it was a little easier to see the results in a spreadsheet instead of having to screenshot the video.
A quick search says Phobos orbits 3700 miles, aka 6000km, above the surface of Mars. A few thousand of either is in fact, correct.
For a person making $30,000 a year, a $1,000 fine could mean very significant impacts on their daily life.
For a person making $30,000,000 a year, a $1,000,000 fine may mean they can't afford an extra Ferrari.
For a person "making" $30,000,000,000 a year, a $1,000,000,000 fine may mean they can't... Buy another island? You still have $29,000,000,000 that you can do who knows what with. This is the entire GDP of some countries. I also don't know if this one is a realistic example.
Anyway, proportional is nice, but really you need a progressive system to really match the weight of punishments, as far as impacting your daily life or happiness.
So, I can't easily find the name of the ship in Chinese, but it could possibly be a translation error during naming? New New is xīng xīng in pingying (romanized phonetic Chinese), which is also the same spelling as star... If whoever did the translation was bad at it and did it solely off of the phonetics or romanized spelling.
Tbf, that's kinda what people thought about leaded gasoline, or greenhouse gas emissions.
In this case, yes, everyone seems perfectly fine, but dilution isn't the solution to everything when the body you're diluting into is finite.
Compression algorithms generally rely on sensing patterns in the data to allow you to store just one example of that data and where it repeats, instead of storing it all fully. This is extremely visible in H264 and H265 for video, where the first is easily 1% the size of the raw video data, and the second is easily 1/10th the size of that, since it can detect more patterns to compress.
White noise means your mp3 is basically the size of the uncompressed data, instead of being 5-25% that size (stat from Wikipedia on compression ratio of mp3). This costs Spotify more for storage and streaming bandwidth.
Ask the experts from help, and learn from them. Don't ask things you can legitimately learn really easily on your own by just doing a quick read of the code, but the bar for questions to not be stupid is pretty low. In most projects with any complexity, it's probably overall saving the company money if you ask someone who knows and can save you time, instead of wasting a ton of your time reaching the same conclusion. But next time that problem comes up, you should know how to solve it, so it saves everyone time.
Because I can't afford 120TB in SSDs...
I hear fall starts for most of the northern hemisphere within just a few months of that
Congratulations, you've killed all political participation.
