All the recent Kia models I have driven and a recent model Toyota Corolla.

Something which is already being seen in the farming market: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xykkkd/why-americ...

It's possible that Japan are providing other aid[1] (which they don't seek repayment for), but this was under different terms.

[1] I'm trying to find their foreign aid info, but not having much luck on finding figures...

True, but ablative tips would likely mean engine overhauls at increased frequency, significantly increasing cost. At that cost vs benefit, likely better to just go back to piston and prop.

As mentioned by another poster, try watching Primitive Technology[1] on Youtube. Very similar feel.

New Zealand has RealMe (https://www.realme.govt.nz/) which is an opt-in system you can use to identify yourself when interacting with various government departments and other entities.

ICE = Internal combustion engine

Off the top of my head:

- At certain temperatures and pressures you have to consider icing in the carburettor, which will block air flow into the engine.

- You have to tune (lean) the fuel input to reduce fuel consumption and prevent spark plug fouling, but not lean it too much that you overheat the engine.

Markup Language, I'd guess.

"The full dataset after compression is 365 GB, 1535 million frames, and 496 million player actions." - Yes

"The largest notable exceptions seem to be internal file shares, and remote connections to machines that need to be behind a firewall."

Office 365 / OneDrive and Google Drive are even doing away with the requirement for internal fileshares. We used the former heavily at my previous job and I use the latter in my current role. Both have been pretty good alternatives.

To watch consumer available bikes racing, there is also World Super Bikes (WSBK).

"The motorcycles that race in the championship are tuned versions of motorcycles available for sale to the public"

"we see less and less 'real racing' which is a shame." - I've given up on F1 for that very reason but haven't missed it since I started watching MotoGP (F1 of motorbikes). New season has just started.

It looks like they're water storage ponds. Cut from the Wiki[1] article "Water consumption for the Ouarzazate Noor complex is estimated at 2.5 to 3 million m3 per year for one wet- cooling project (Noor I) and two dry – cooling projects (Noor II and III) and due to the need to regularly clean the reflectors."

How much of this book applies in a non-US context? Is it worth reading anyway?

It seems not any more?:

"Resolution. In order to prevent a man in the middle from making KeePass display incorrect version information (even though this does not imply a successful attack, see above), the version information file is now digitally signed (using RSA-2048 and SHA-512). KeePass 2.34 and higher only accept such a digitally signed version information file. Furthermore, the version information file is now downloaded over HTTPS."

I still enforce this.

I would much rather that my users utilise encrypted password databases than write down their passwords. It is significantly easier for them to use (try typing a decently long password without errors), easier to change passwords, and comes with better security as they don't have a list of passwords readily available (generally under their keyboard).

In New Zealand the Government has started to arrest defaulters at the border[1]. This may not work as well for US as I am not sure of the percentage who travel outside the country versus NZ.

"is that the only way to socialize is to move into a big city where there's a bunch of other ~35-45+yo people with no kids" - or you could find / join a group with similar interests. A local LUG, sports group, music... whatever floats your boat. For example, I have found it pretty easy to make new friends through mountain biking and track building in my new area.

Tangential question: How much of what we learn about fusion in reactors can we apply to understanding the sun/stars or vice versa?

Not exactly "free", you have to do something for it and there are strings attached.

Now we just have to worry about the formaldehyde and VOCs that modern products emit...

Still high on the Peak of Inflated Expectations: http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2819918

I imagine it be easier to fake earth-like gravity on a station above a planet (say a rotating wheel space station) than on the planet. Would a space elevator be possible somewhere like Ceres with lower gravity / atmosphere? If so, it would be much easier to resupply water and materials.

Truely. Self taught and brilliant at what he did.

Though I know the ending, I still get nervous watching him on the top of dodgy smokestacks with no safety equipment!

I agree. He comments that "but things have mostly come in a fortunate order. It’s got nothing to do with skill, it’s simply luck." To me this is completely wrong. He had the thought to go to the Ministry and he made the best of a great opportunity.

What about something unexpected like superconducting transmission lines between temporal energy producing / consuming zones?

That seems like a strawman.

I would say that blogging on the internet is more like going out for a drink at the pub. You aim to meet and interact with many people with the same interests, have discussions, and enjoy a drink.

However, there is the possibility that someone may abuse this, maybe through drinking to excess and becoming argumentative. This, while annoying, can be accepted. However, if that person gets violent and causes harm, I believe that is unacceptable.

Though if they could run it to New Zealand, it would certainly help to have competition with the SCC here...

Would you consider Lua fits those requirements? The reference manual is short, the online guide and book simple to follow, and the syntax consistent.
