winds

I hope everyone winds up with a few of these stories after long enough. They're great to have.

Ground bursts also produce more fallout, since they dig up and irradiate earth and scatter it to the winds.

The second day there were 50km/h winds which, 150 meters up, is very cold and a little bit dangerous. We made sure the gear was triple secured, and we shot anyway.

This may be dangerous at an approach that it´s already hard enough with cross winds or heavy rain. The same apply to the side-stick.

The story winds up with Stock visiting Altmayer in jail, to set him free. He tells Altmayer that Earth has been at war with the Diaboli for the last six months.

And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

No need to whine about it, you can take a break from HN for a week or so until it winds down. When things are continued beyond their reasonable lifetime they tend to get moderated down.

How does it fair again strong winds in a storm and occasional hail? Is the isolation good enough to provide comfort in environment ranging from 35C to -15C ?

Then, they trade, and each winds up with a higher standard of living than if each tried to do both. Economies are built on the greater efficiency that comes from specialization, and the resulting trade.

> Length-prefixed message framing winds up being 10-100 lines of code in almost any language/environment. Only if you're writing blocking code.

You are incentivized to build grand, complex systems which will look good when you want to do a talk at an O'Reilly conference - which is exactly what winds up happening.

It works extremely well and winds up being much faster than using the native primitives usually used for building multitasking support. For more details on exactly how to do it see the link to my Scheme implementation.

But the longer-term political winds are against it, in my view, and it will prove a temporary obstacle at most as the modern tech impetus advances.

But more likely, he isn't thinking about high winds, earthquakes, and all of the other extreme circumstances that are the real drivers for how thick the supporting pillars have to be.

I even dug up the example code I had written to demonstrate exactly what a session leader or process group winds up doing in practice. I pasted all of this into the code review, making it public record for the entire company to see.

When the market for your product inevitably shrinks because you've made your product irrelevant or because of competition or other reasons, blame shifting market winds for making your product irrelevant. 5.

Too many things can happen by which a seeming "sure thing" winds up evaporating before your very eyes, leaving you with no more than a pretty lousy capital loss that you get the privilege of deducting at the rate of no more than $3,000 per year unless you can find other capital gains to offset it against. 5.

When political winds shift, you can eliminate anybody you want, because you just make an excel spreadsheet of political enemies and then forward it by email to law enforcement for increased survallence, and whamo, felony convictions, how much you want? 1 year?

Due to the massive lakes that surround us, we frequently get a blast of warm, wet air that causes rain, and of course that warm wet air is being pushed off the lake by a cold front, causing high winds and sub-freezing temps. This combined with large stands of farmland and no trees for windrows means wind blows right across the road and freezes the rain instantly, sometimes right beneath your tires.

All factual information can be summarized in two sentences: "The mars rover lasted longer than expected because we did not anticipate the strong winds blowing dust off the solar panels. Furthermore, the rocker-bogie suspension system kept the machine from toppling over."

If millions of fanboys are denied their shiny new iPhones and Apple, which is rather well connected in Washington, finally winds up losing money due to the patent system, maybe we'll finally seem some progress towards reform.

One of the best examples is the first 15 or so[1] pages of Autumn of the Patriarch[2], where the narrator winds this thread of what has happened slowly, using sentences that span pages, until you realize a shift from what has happened to a sort of what is about to happen. Then a fist slams on the table and the realization strikes you that the first part of the description was a kind of set up, this beautiful ruse.

And because I'm relatively ignorant, I worry that I might say something that was intended as supportive but winds up contributing to the problem: white-knighting, disempowering, calling attention to something that the person affected wanted to leave alone. Personally, I've come to terms that I'm going to try my best and risk screwing up occasionally.

The heliopause has never been reached by any spacecraft; the Voyagers may be the first to pass through this region, which is thought to exist somewhere from 8 to 14 billion miles from the Sun. This is where the million-mile-per-hour solar winds slows to about 250,000 miles per hourthe first indication that the wind is nearing the heliopause. The Voyagers should cross the heliopause 10 to 20 years after reaching the termination shock.

I'm considering leaving facebook for the first time, because of the Sponsored Stories thing, which is showing up with disturbing regularity, and frequently winds up as ads for things that make me angry. Nowadays, if you "Like" something, then that something can pay for the privilege to insert whatever stories it likes into your friends' facebook feeds, under the heading "so-and-so likes such-and-such" followed by your own message.
