Does anyone know if there's a real-time feed of Earthquakes somewhere? The USGS website doesn't post the Earthquakes until 10-15 minutes after it's over - which nullifies any type of automated warning for our data centers.
I felt a moderate earthquake here in Yokohama a few days ago. I had my phone with me, so I clicked my bookmark for that page and, before the shaking stopped, could see that it was a magnitude 6 with epicenter offshore from Fukushima--nothing to worry about. A minute or so later the permanent record of the quake was online:
My guess is that earthquakes powerful enough to cause a head crash are powerful enough for widespread destruction anyway, but I’m no expert. I did some quick searches for hard drives damaged by earthquake, and the only results I got were scenarios where the hard drives or the whole rack got knocked over by the earthquake and hit the floor.
There are also just too many entries in dense areas. It's impossible to go through all of them for something that might be interesting for the reader specifically.
It would be nice if they could be categorized/color-coded by some type (nature/monument/establishment/etc...) on the map so people can sift through them more easily.
No, it's for when the kids leave the door open or just don't close it properly - which is VERY frequent. The door alarm goes off once per week here, at least.
Kids can know to close the door, intend to close the door, but still fail to realize they didn't close the door. They're kids, it happens. And its a simple feature that can help realize the door is still open. It's not that deep..
My dog is my alarm for when the kid starts drawing on the walls or breaks something. He barks to let me know. It’s very convenient and I’m glad to have him. If it was practical to make a computer to do this I’m sure people would find it useful.
bingo. It's like measuring the effectiveness of my gardening by seeing how many vegetables I produce in the summer vs winter, and then blaming Santa Claus for poor performance.
Not only blood transfusions, but ligament/tendon transplants from cadavers are extremely common for people who tear their ACL.
It would be a disaster if this type of surgery also transmitted some prior/protein misfolding disease decades later. Millions would be impacted. The practice stared in the 1980s, but really only became popular in the early 2000s with the boom in arthroscopic surgery standardization.
Oh man, I bet you’re right and enough time hasn’t gone by to see the fallout from it! I bet rich people will start bidding up tendons and ligaments from younger cadavers (probably mostly motorcycle accident victims). Although given that so many of those have toxoplasmosis, maybe that’s also not great…
Yes, but there is a big difference between filling in some survey you don't care about and registering a company, where you might be criminially liable for any mistakes. I make damn sure any filings related to my company are correct.
It's not the founders of the companies that are making these errors, it is the bank's data entry employees typing in the data from hand written forms.
Most of these accounts were opened before online form submissions. Not to mention the ambiguity between date formats causing all sorts of issues. ...apostrophes in names, etc...
In the UK company information is filed online with Companies House, by the company (or possibly a professional representative). Not by a bank data entry person.
And if the bank needs that data it should be able to download it.
So I don't understand where bank data entry comes in. However I only skimmed the article.
This comment is 100% ridiculous speculation.
That's not to say they don't have a nuclear weapons program - they probably do - but needing a mega-project to cover it up is just silly.
