I wonder if this could be used to increase the effectiveness of LIDAR in vision applications. Rather than continuously scanning the entire FOV, prioritize areas with more brightness changes. Kind of like how animal eyes have low resolution in the periphery for event detection but high resolution in the center.

The US did try to annex the province of Quebec in 1775 but retreated after failing to take Quebec city (which was the biggest city at the time and controlled access to the saint Lawrence river). That was probably the closest Quebec got to joining the USA. The other two attempts (1812 invasion and 1837 rebellions) were even less successful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Quebec_%281775%29

By default lineageOS comes with neither Google play services nor microg. The choice of what to install is left to the user.

MicroG is a bit more complicated to install since it requires package signature spoofing, which official lineage builds don't enable since it's seen as a security vulnerability.

Nowadays it seems to mostly be a way for "ethical" fund managers to justify the higher fees compared to simpler index funds.

Two of my relatives had Nexus 5 and the power buttons on both devices stopped functioning shortly after the warranty expired

That's one of the main plot elements of The Ministry for the Future.

That's a bit of a tautology isn't it?

That's how it's supposed to work in Canada. Most of the land is crown land managed by the government who should carefully manage it but in practice lease it to anyone as long as it brings in money.

Southern Ontario has forests?

I was under the impression that western suppliers stopped exporting to Turkey after the Artsakh "conflict" so that they now manufacture most parts themselves (reverse-engineered or not)

You could argue that 2 of these wars (as well as the standoffs in the Mediterranean with the Greek navy) are aiming to remediate the oil/gas problem.

By the time you experience symptoms you've already been contagious for a few days. It's like trying to detect fires by looking for piles of ash.

I'm curious, what type of application would require printing strings over 2GB in size?

I like to think that most readers don't get instantly alienated as soon as they read something criticizing them a bit too harshly

I used the word culture but I really meant population in the sense that the original commenter used it (i.e. a group of people replacing or displacing another, rather than imposing their customs on another).

I wonder can it instead of "transmission" be that the fire-capable just out-competed the rest and dominantly spread all over the place as a result

One argument against that is that transmission is much more frequent than replacement in human history. We have countless examples of technologies (agriculture and writing notably) being transmitted to different cultures, whereas the examples of cultures out-competing and replacing others through technology are rare.

About half the time in my experience

That neighborhood is hip _because_ rent is cheap

If I read the abstract correctly they found an inverse correlation between coffee consumption and brain volume, but since it was not a longitudinal study it doesn't prove that coffee is correlated to brain shrinkage?

The Israeli defense ministry has to approve sales contracts. I'm assuming they'd like to avoid spying on citizens of states they depend on militarily/politically or that have the capability of retaliating.

The building the Supertree Grove sits on was designed by Moshe Safdie. A lot of his works feature similar green and open spaces (jewel changi airport, eling park)

Also known as a donkey-powered roller

Those countries have other sources of fresh water besides the Nile

And more importantly: Crimea's population was favorable to annexation by Russia

That's why it's called "climate change"and not " global warming "

Misleading title.

We intuit that the fusion network should just learn to ignore the bad sensor when it's unreliable, but this rarely happens in practice.

That sounds like a problem with the network's architecture and not the data itself

There's a significant shortage of teachers in the US & Canada, especially for math & sciences, so I'm not sure how we could realistically reduce class sizes in the short to medium term

You'd be surprised. Having 2-3 gifted students who can explain basic concepts to the "average" kids and help them with assignments takes a significant load off the teachers back (who can then focus on helping kids with serious learning difficulties).
