With the caveat that it’s been almost 30 years since I worked on neutrino oscillation, and I was just a student at the time, the way to detect neutrino oscillation is to look at th…

To what extent is the design a response to the constraints imposed by the electric drivetrain? The car is built around the engine. An EV has a large battery and small motor(s), whi…

Not the OP but have a 20-year-old car. The relevant calculation is not cost of annual repair v value of car, but rather annual cost vs annual cost of a new car. Even if you amortiz…

I get that - the question is why CMS would have addresses for undocumented immigrants at all (assuming for the moment it is only undocumented that they are looking for). Undocument…

What is not clear to me from the article is what data they are getting from CMS. The article references Medicaid data, but everyone that has access to Medicaid is legally present i…

The Enquirer also broke the John Edwards (vice-presidential candidate) affair story well before mainstream media picked it up. That doesn't make up for the reckless and sometimes c…

There’s a reason for this. Prices that force cashiers to make change force them to run the transaction through the cash register so it is recorded, and the amount in the register c…

For navigation, having the poles at top and bottom is really the only way to do it. Lining up positions of constant noon sun angle along a horizontal line (i.e. latitude line) make…

I would add to your list that MSFT also makes decent hardware now - surface laptops and xbox have both done well

I would add that (having simulated this problem in code myself), the reason you have bad outcomes is that you run out of candidates and take a bad one because you have no choice. I…

We can agree to disagree. People said cycling would be clean after the '98 Festina affair because all eyes were on them. All that happened was that teams (that could afford it) swi…

I would argue that history suggests this is likely. The dopers have substantially more financial resources than the testers. EPO is a great example. It was widely used in cycling f…

It's pretty impressive (and not always widely known) how much cold water impairs swimming ability. There are some good videos on this site - coldwatersafety.org - of Coast Guard vo…

The administration’s letter to Harvard (which they later claimed to have sent in error) made it clear that their intent is to root out what they perceive as liberal ideological bia…

The Norman invasion of England in 1066 led to extensive introduction of French vocabulary into English. That's a large part of the reason English has so many Latin cognates that yo…

I feel like this is not talked about enough. SAFEs are not the trouble-free investment vehicle that many people seem to think they are.

The current administration has set targets for numbers of people deported(which ICE is currently behind on). That creates an incentive to skip due process in order to get more peop…

That part of the Pacific is very sheltered by islands so it is often fairly calm. The First Nations people have hunted and traveled in canoes there for many generations (unlike the…

If you watch the video at the end of the article, you may get a better sense of it

what about the Snapdragon? Microsoft is using in their ARM laptops

three selfish reasons everyone should be in favor of expanded medicaid (ie in favor of everyone having access to healthcare): * healthy people are able to work and pay taxes * when…

There are still a lot of low-income patients that are not covered by medicaid

Three or four years ago, I would have agreed with your statement about ICE vehicles. Now I question it, at least for the US market. The initial wave of EVs that followed Tesla’s su…

In case anyone is interested, the full text of Paradise Lost with helpful annotations is available online at Dartmouth: https://milton.host.dartmouth.edu/reading_room/pl/intro/text…

I lived in an apartment in Frankfurt that still had this. The bathtub/shower was in the kitchen with just a curtain separating it (toilet with sink was in a separate room). With tw…
