The vast majority of the time, boats don’t use active sonar. Whilst giving a high resolution view of what’s around them, it also allows any other signals collector (often defined as an enemy aggressor) to accurately pinpoint the location and deploy countermeasures, even if only updating threat assessments.
Ultra detailed charts are used that have the terrain mapped. Occasional positional fixes when a boat surfaces can be used to ‘reset’ where they thought they were whilst running silent.

Yeah, fair enough that makes sense, but what I've read about modern underwater inertial navigation systems is their remarkable accuracy. You'd think that any selected course for the sub would be set well within the tolerance of the inertial navigation system thus the sub would steer well clear of any known seamount. Alternatively, it was uncharted and that brings me back to the accuracy of the maps.
P.S.: I'd also read somewhere that as part of the underwater navigation system that gravity detection was also used and it is sensitive enough to detect changes caused by massive nearby objects, seamounts etc. As they're passive detectors that wouldn't preclude them from being used all the time.
The current exchange rate for ¥1,000 for the UK is £6.60, or $8.93
Given the prep, ingredients and distribution I’m intrigued what the margin is.
It also makes me wonder whether this has scaled in any way. The article makes it feel like this is a singular machine - that’s a lot of work involved to only stock one location.
I wondered whether this was a way of a caterer that serviced airlines (Air France would have similar offerings in First class and potentially business class), but Kyoto is farther away from the airports than other more obvious places to put such a machine like Osaka or Tokyo.
So I figure this is ‘extra’ output from one of the French restaurants in Kyoto.
It’s fascinating and I very much would like to try it.
Yep, just diagnosed a week ago at age 38. If you did well enough in school, and have the inattentive-type ADHD, it's really easy for it to get missed in childhood.
If you were smart enough to coast through school despite your procrastination and attention issues, definitely go see a psych for an evaluation.
Or evaporation mineral collection ponds or something of that nature. The facility in Wendover on the salt flats is pretty large too though there's no ponds like these images appear to show. There's lots mineral collection ponds like this in California and Nevada.
I posted this in the other thread about his hours:
Being a manager and accutely aware of legal ramifications of hours worked (boring I know), does anyone have any insight into whether there is something in the US akin to the European Worktime Directive? Over here (UK, but the E.U as a whole) the average working week is 40 hours by law, and the worker must opt in to be eligble to work upto a maximum of 70 hours per week. As well as this 70 hour maximum, 11 hours must be taken between end of work one day and start of work the next, and an entire 24 hour period of non-work must be taken once every 7 days, or alternativley a period of 48 hours of non-work must be taken in a 14 day period.
Overtime doesn't apply to a number of class of workers (including executive, administration, professional, outside sales, and computer related workers).
And I believe you could read "professional" as "anyone with a college degree working a white-collar job".
If you're a learned professional (matching all of the three criteria on the page - one of which is salaried), artist/creative, teacher, law/medicine practioner, or are highly compensated (making > $100,000/year) overtime doesn't apply to you.
The definition of Overtime is actually getting paid, yes? The law I am referring to over in the E.U is actually working, full stop - paid or not. I am at a position where I am not paid any overtime - I'm still not allowed to be present at work for more than 70 hours a week.
Does nothing like this exist in the U.S? As in, you could technically work 168 hours with no legal ramifications?
Generally not. There are some rules for people who work on an hourly basis, but I think those vary by state. For some jobs there are also safety regulations. E.g., airline pilots and truck drivers. And many union contracts have substantial restrictions.
I think here we rely more on a liquid labor market than on government regulation to encourage sane working conditions. Which definitely has its drawbacks, but has the upside of not indulging the "lump of labor" fallacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy

I believe the EU Working Time Directive mandates 48hr maximum working week. The UK was given an excemption to allow employees to 'opt out' of the law. Other EU countries do not have a legal opt out. Some countries (e.g. France) have a lower 'maximum hours per week'.
> Over here (UK, but the E.U as a whole) the average working week is 40 hours by law, and the worker must opt in to be eligble to work upto a maximum of 70 hours per week.
In Ireland, you can't even opt into a 70 hour week; it's flat-out illegal (though there is a system where you can do 96 hours per 14 days, or something, without necessarily equal allocation).

For the most part in the US, limits on work hours only exist where safety is an issue: truck drivers, people who work on power lines, etc.
Note in this case, Dorsey is working for two different companies, and in at least one of them he's a founding executive. Even in the EU, a founding executive might not be covered by work hour restrictions that apply to his employees.
Just to test my understanding on this sentence (I have re-read it 4 times now), JGC is saying that if Kissinger was a programmer, he would be saying "sex is better than power"?
I think I have totally missed the meaning of this - could someone please point it out to me?
For me, the point of interest comes from locking down a blueprint distribution model.
Everyone can print certain items depending on their access to raw materials/power/specification of fab, but depending on how much they pay for the 'blueprints' will be the difference between generic and premium branding with every tiny difference in between.
Hey there.
Like many others, I lived in Thailand for a number of months, boxing. I don't have too much advice regards the housing.
I do however have some advice regarding your time there. Be very aware that no matter where you go, you will be perceived as well off. You will (seriously) be batting women away left right and centre. Very pretty women who see you as their ticket out of there.
If you do gain a girlfriend, don't be surprised that your money will go nowhere as far as you had hoped. Scooters, money for family, eating out more - all will make their way into your life very quickly.
It's easy to say it will never happen to you - you don't have to go looking for a partner out there. They will find you and persue you. For Western men, this can be a huge change from the generally more entitled women of the West.
Please excuse my asumptions that you are interested in females - I don't know if the same is true for Thai men.
If you do decide to date a Thai woman, be very careful, the culture of dating there is extremely different then the West. I would highly recommend research into how the culture works before you get into something you might end up regretting, it's certainly not for everyone. You will find it very difficult to find the difference between sincerity and gold digging. Also, be very careful of working girls.
Oh, and stay in the north for cheaper living, Chang Mai is awesome! Don't pay more then 70Baht for a Big Chang!
