  1. They're required to keep a fraction of their funds with the Federal Reserve, limiting the growth of money. It doesn't just appear.* Neither money nor debt is necessarily better, but at some point you have to pay the piper black magic or no. ** * Government literally printing money aside. ** Sometimes. There's a greater magic called defaulting. In that case someone else is left holding the bag. They are generally not pleased by this.
  2. There's an issue in that we need oxygen roughly between 19.5% and 22%. As CO2 levels increase the oxygen percentage will naturally drop. More immediate concerns(vanishing land and food disruption), but low oxygen zones are a real possibility down the line. If we evolved to X we really need to try and keep things about the same as they were.
  3. Woohoo! Echo Auto is out and on its way. Excited with the location based options now available.

    Amazon has come out with a ring version but on the fence about the price for that one. Would be both handy and cool though. Could give commands and inquire 24/7 without being obvious.

  4. You're thinking of the word origin, 'polis', the greek city states. Policy, Politics, Politician, are some other words with the same origin.
  5. Yeah they check credit history and they probably go more in-depth depending on the clearance level. Anything that can be used to possibly manipulate someone is of concern.
  6. I would think anything money related. Possibly for prostitution related offenses as well.
  7. As my girlfriend is a big Patriots fan, helping you would result in a negative payoff for myself. Seriously now you're talking more about strategizing than Game Theory. Game theory is more along the lines of the Prisoner's Dilemma or outcomes of different simple evolutionary strategies.
  8. It really should be.
  9. If it comes out of a can I'd avoid it too. Slices are definitely tasty on burgers. I've always felt rest of the world got all the good cheeses though. Swiss and provolone are my go-to's.
  10. I think resulting image of the picture would look much as you have here, albeit dimmer. Not sure that is what you are asking for though. To clarify are you wanting it to appear 3D?
  11. You'll probably want to look into binocular vision and depth perception. Without, you can hazard a guess from context, but if something is proportionally larger or smaller than expected you can have an issue. Easiest thing to increase the apparent distance would be a concave lens. Flat mirrors alone could work, but you would need to increase the distance the light has to travel. Could move mirrors apart or reflect the image multiple times.
  12. Yeah many would have been contaminated by our atmosphere but that should still leave a ton for this and future experiments.
  13. Pigeonholing(timezone, writing style, identifying information), social media links, IP address (from something like an image download) and outright tricking someone to download malicious files. Only the last would really be hacking. It's generally not that hard if somebody's reasonably active or not cautious enough. So far it sounds like everything your friend is seeing is only circumstantial. Could easily be a case of false pattern recognition.
  14. They mention a smaller vault with returned samples that were previously loaned out. If memory serves they brought back and awful lot of material in total.
  15. Actually about what they had, though walking on the outside of the wheel. They also had single man ones which were more a sideways wheel. A very sound use
  16. They exist to a degree. https://www.gosportsart.com/product/n685-verde/ I'm not seeing any commercially available ones that power more than a smartphone however. The penal treadmill deserves an honorary mention. Used them to pump water and mill corn. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_treadmill More efficient when you use mechanical motion directly like that.
  17. No, there is an unseen outlet in this case. Honestly is a confusing way to draw/label things. Your original instinct would be correct in the case of a lake or body of water. Would need more information on the tank(vented or non-vented) and pressure at the top of it to say what exactly would happen next.
  18. By atmospheric pressure they mean the pressure of the Earth's atmosphere at the lowest point. I like to imagine a column of air above me weighing me down. Weight(force) / Area = Pressure
  19. Possibly for the Northwest Passage opening up and resources; but who really knows with Trump. Not uncommon historically(Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Gadsen). Really weird in this day and age though.
  20. Sublimation requires some heating to occur while the pressure remains below that of the Triple point. This is purely changing what phase the water is in.

  21. Definitely important to have a job you like doing. I'm thinking people will still find ways to occupy their time but their work will be more meaningful or at least pleasant. Resources will still be finite, so some economic system will be required. Always some scarcity out there. Quite bit will likely be effectively free though.
  22. Oxygen acts as an electron acceptor. "In biology, a terminal electron acceptor is a compound that receives or accepts an electron during cellular respiration or photosynthesis. All organisms obtain energy by transferring electrons from an electron donor to an electron acceptor. During this process (electron transport chain) the electron acceptor is reduced and the electron donor is oxidized." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_acceptor
  23. Most of it has some role though not in coding for proteins. Even the DNA that has no functional role at all can still act as a repository of genetic material and buffer against negativly impacting mutations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-coding_DNA Pseudogenes are also noncoding but are related to functional genes. Imagine if: condition 1 1 = start 55 *567 * store stop was the functional gene and the pseudogene was: condition 1 1 = start 55 stop *567 start store stop still recognizable but no longer functions in the way it once did.
  24. Found this posted on NBC. https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/scientists-are-searching-mirror-universe-it-could-be-sitting-right-ncna1023206 Gives more detail though still no small amount of hyperbole.
  25. You can raise masts and antennas above the surface and remain submerged. VLF and the underwater telephone are also options used today. I don't know for sure on this, but there could be transmitters attached to undersea cables acting as relays, in areas where submarines armed with nuclear weapons frequent. Be a fairly logical fallback option. I don't think it is necessarily a bad idea in general but between resources required, alternatives, and typical missions I don't think it'll see much traction.
