What do you think about Joe Biden’s plan to create new manufacturing jobs and boost American production? He announced this plan today in Michigan. | I don’t know any American that dislikes the idea of more manufacturing jobs in US. The challenge is in making it happen. There was a reason why manufacturing jobs and factories left US, and that reason still exists: The low cost of labor in other countries compared to American wages. It is well and good to want those jobs to return, but the reality is different. Unless the product being made involves advanced technologies and precision manufacturing — thus justifying its high price — American workers are simply too expensive compared to their counterparts in places like Asia.
And, before we launch on a tirade against evil, wealthy corporations, Americans need to realize and accept that we did it to ourselves. China could manufacture all the cheap products it wants, but if Americans don’t buy them, they don’t sell. But, the opposite happened — Americans were overjoyed to see the low, low discount prices and bought them in droves instead of similar, higher-priced products made by Americans. When American-made products stopped selling, American workers lost their jobs; as the loss of business continued, American factories closed and gradually moved to low-wage countries so that they could compete on price. American consumers and their shopping habits unintentionally caused all of that.
The reality is that little has changed. American manufacturers would prefer to make products in their own country, but the costs are still too high. If you look at the common products made in US, there is heavy use of automation and fewer human workers — bottles or shampoo, body wash, cans of hair spray, cans of food products, many other products that move along an automated production facility that has machines doing most tasks. Human labor is expensive, not only in wages but also benefits like health care. Employing machines avoids those costs and allows products to be made in high-wage countries like US.
So, what manufacturing involving significant levels of human employees can be created? There is a lot of talk about “emerging technologies”, but anything the US produces can be reverse-engineered (or the technology stolen) by China. If Americans start installing more solar panels, China will produce them cheaper. If/when all electric cars become the norm, China will produce them and the batteries they run on will be cheaper. If US companies maximize automation to minimize costs, more products might be sold by American companies but still few Americans will have jobs in such factories. I think there is still benefit in having anything produced in US rather than China, but the problem for the average American is the lack of jobs that pay us enough to support a family.
Could US subsidize American industries so that they can compete globally? Yes, and we need only look to the defense industries, which would not exist were it not for the huge sums of money spent by the US government for research and development, and purchase. Subsidizing the American companies that make products using a lot of human capital would be one way to make Americans pay for such jobs, via their taxes rather than paying higher prices for products. That kind of goes against Americans’ devotion to free markets and Capitalism, which promotes the idea that greatest efficiencies are created by allowing the marketplace to decide winners and losers. I also don’t know how the balance sheet would look, paying out tax monies to support industries and then hoping that tax revenues from such activity help to offset the subsidies. What the US really needs is a return of industries that employ many people, pay good wages and pay big taxes to support the Feds’ budgets. I don’t know how that happens given the current circumstances.

What are some things that only electrical and electronics engineers know, but most people don't? | Most people don't know about their smartphone's changer.
Yes charger is most important thing nowadays because everyone needs charger anywhere.
But most people don't know about chargers ratings.
Output of charger is 1A which is normally on every charger but higher mAh battery needs faster charging. And they provide 2A charger
Below 2500 mAh battery usually 1A charger provides but higher than it 2A charger is necessary .
When people buy any charger they simply say “fast charging vala charger do(English: give me charger which charge my phone very fast)”
But they don't get it that it has output rating 2A. Due to this high current output your battery charge faster.
When people charge their phone with new charger and charging time reduced . Vola they are happy because they have super charger.
Just read ratings whenever you are buying charger do read it and mainly output ampere.

If organic produce isn't treated with pesticides, is there a higher chance of the produce being susceptible to pests? | Susceptible is an interesting word. The aim for organic producers is to reduce the intensity of pests, and to boost plant health so that pests aren't as damaging.
We reduce the intensity of pests by practicing crop rotation - we don't ever plant the same family of crop in the same place two years in a row. This helps to break the population cycles of the pests involved. This is most effective with crop diseases and soil borne insects, but there are many flying insects which aren't too bothered about flying across the way to get their favourite snacks.
So we try to balance the nutrients a plant has available to it so that the plant isn't stacked with nitrates, which some research says is what many insects are attracted to. It's also very plentiful in conventional agriculture due to nitrogen fertilizers, which are very high in nitrates.
The goal is to provide a healthy and nutritious (for humans) plant that is not as attractive to insects. There is other research that shows that insects are less attracted to vegetables with high sugar content (brix), and building delicious (to humans) vegetables with high brix content makes it less attractive to pests.
An organic farm should also be biodiverse, which means many types of crops planted on one farm, and space left for wildflowers, hedges, verges, and cover crops which really promote beneficial insects. These are insects that eat other insects, and really aid in diminishing the intensity of pest insects.
Finally there are pests that will eat our crops no matter what steps like those above we take, and we do have strategies for those as well, mainly a physical barrier called 'row cover'. It's like a very thin fabric blanket that lets light, air and water through, but not insects. It's a wonderful technology, as it also holds warmth and moisture, and speeds up growth tremendously in the spring and fall, but it can be a pain in the *ss to put out and bring back in.
Also, as Aran Johnson says below, there are organic pesticides available. What he isn't mentioning is that these are only to be used in extreme circumstances, and they are completely non-persistent in the environment, as they are derived 100% from natural sources. He is wrong about your produce being covered in them, though, because they are non-persistent, as in they break down in the environment within hours after their application.
However, a farmer like myself, and anyone who would go through all the pains of being certified organic - the manual weeding, the row cover, the crop rotations and cover crops, would and should make every effort to avoid using these types of 'band-aid solutions', certified organic or not.
On the other hand, conventional farmers (and the corporations that supply them) have a strategy to simply kill any insects that come to the crop. Regardless of how much they are promoting those insects through they're own practices (monocropping, lack of biodiversity, unbalanced soils), the strategy is still the same. This results in much bigger populations of pest insects, and the ensuing much greater need for pesticides. It's a vicious cycle, and it's not good for the environment, the farmer, or the consumers.
I would not say that what organic farmers do is perfect, but I think we are heading in the right direction. I think we need much more research into ways of controlling pests without necessarily killing every insect in the field (as well as the farmers and consumers, eventually!). The problem with conventional agriculture is that the methodology and the thinking behind it is broken. It's not going to result in a long term solution without a solid injection of holistic thinking, and that's what organic farming provides. So by supporting organic agriculture, you're doing the right thing. You're voting for a sensible approach, and one that is evolving and changing with the technology available.

Why aren't Macs being built with touch screens? | I’ve wondered about this question myself for years now. Yes touchscreens were clunky in the beginning but they have matured over the years…especially with advances in active stylus pens and screen and glass manufacturing techniques. Microsoft has proven with it’s surface products how good touch screens can really be. They’ve even mocked Macs in their commercials to show how they don’t fold and you can’t write on their screens with a stylus.
There are a few reasons:
It would cannibalize sales of other products…most notably the ipadIf you make a Mac with a touch screen people may also want a 2-in-1 convertible so engineers would also have to rework and rethink the Mac body, housing and all of the components while still retaining the sleek form factor and stylingIt would require an overhaul of OS X to be touch-friendly. This alone would require many man hours and countless hours of beta testingIt would require developers to be on board with the changes and provide them with the tools to update their software for a touch interface (if their software needs to take advantage of it)The new Mac Pro will be obsolete! People will want a pro display with touch capabilitiesOther lineups such as the iMacs will need touch and with that will require reworking of the screen hinge mechanisms to allow moving the screen to a convenient angle for touch/stylus
These aren’t bad things for Apple. It would in a sense make their entire lineup obsolete so people would have to once again buy Apple products which could end up being a very good thing for Apple. They already have the technology with the ipad and their stylus pen…they just need to port it over and re-engineer the hardware and software.

What is rent seeking? Why is turning a profit on ownership not a good thing? | It’s not intrinsically a good or bad thing. It’s just not a good thing when it’s artificially subsidized by the government and central banks.
The notion of “profiting on ownership” is central to our way of life. Want to retire someday? That’s another way of putting it. When we’re young and able, we labor. As we grow older, we set aside some of our earnings to accumulate capital. Then when we’re not quite so young and able, we still have a source of income so that we don’t become a burden to society.

What's it like to have a 150 IQ? Is life easier? What are the advantages you feel you have over others? Are there any disadvantages? | I’d like to say there is not number or test that can measure intelligence .But when it comes to IQ I’ve tested mine many times getting between 140 and 150 in most of them . Talking about the advantages that it has have for me . I could say that my life it’s been really easy when It comes to school and technology stuff, im Cuban I was consider the smartest kid at my school always and it feels good at least for me tbh I did not have to study for any test and I had the best results I was able to learn communicative English in only 3 months in the United States and speak it with fluency in a year. I love sharing knowledge but ppl sometimes don’t understand my point of view.I love challenges but once I master some ability I lose interest.I don’t know if the stuff I have hard times to learn are related to IQ but they are construction skills,sports,carpentry,women 😂 and some others.

Do many Americans want to decide the Presidency directly, rather than by using the electoral college? I understand the historical reasons for an electoral college but communication systems are now much better! | That depends by which party benefits the results the most. Nobody was complaining about the electoral college when Barack Obama won it two times along with the popular vote.
Democrats right now are only hating on the electoral college because they felt robbed that current president Trump won solely by it. If Hillary won by the electoral college and not the popular vote then they would be praising it. If Donald Trump won the popular vote and not the electoral college that could’ve grated presidency, then Republicans would be against it right now.
Americans only like and/or oppose the electoral college depending on the election results they voted for.

What are some of the shrewdest, smartest military maneuvers ever seen?Was it a significant point in history? | I have two.
The Battle of Blood River in South Africa and the Wagon Box Fight in Wyoming. Similar tactics, number ratios, and combatants on both sides with almost the same results. The Sioux are credited for realizing that they could not force the position and withdrawing with light losses. The Zulu, not so much.

How can we end the horrific dog meat trade in Asian countries? | Who is “we”, & why do “we” think we have any right to meddle in Asian affairs? Just because they don’t share our sentimental attitude to dogs doesn’t make them wrong & us right. Many Asian countries have a problem with feral dogs in the outlying areas beyond their cities, they also believe that eating dog meat wards off winter ailments like coughs & colds etc. Surely culling the troublesome feral dogs to meet the demand for winter dog meat makes logical sense. I lived in Taiwan for five years with my family, I never tried dog meat whilst there but I understand why some people do.

What happens if a person who orders pizza takes the pizza and refuses to pay? | You’d most likely get a call from the restaurant, where they inform you that you’ll get billed. Refusing to pay this bill may cause collectors to seize your assets.
The alternative scenario would be that they simply call the cops and have them visit you. If they have proof you ordered the pizza, you may get arrested. Either way, they’ll probably stop deliver to you and/or your building.
So just pay your bill!

What are your late growth spurt stories? | This is me graduating high school:
Then this is me during college:
And this is me currently:
Over the past 5 years a lot has changed in my life. I left on a whim for a SaaS sales job across the country, I made more friends than I knew in my graduating class of 43. I have lost more friends than I can even count.
I've loved, been loved, lost love and seeking it again. I had one of the most profound relationships that taught me a lot about work/life balance, and also lost that girl because of it.
Some of the most caring people in my life have passed away, and new additions have been added to bring me joy (nieces and nephews).
Politically I have transformed from Right-Wing Tea Party conservative to a more moderate Democrat and over the last few years am devoted to the Libertarian party.
Overall I believe these last five years have been the best years of my life and have formed me as the person I am going to be in the future.

My family wants to put my cat down. She started being sick a couple of weeks ago by throwing up and peeing everywhere. I don’t want to put her down. Will the veterinarian let me put my cat down even if she is not sick? | To answer your question, it depends on the vet.
But if you are willing to spend the money to put her down, why not spend it to find out what’s wrong with her. If she is not real old, it could be an easy fix, why go to the worst case without finding out.
If you are a kid and it’s your parents who don’t want the cat, try reasoning with them using this logic. They may not listen, you have to try. Better to find another family to take her before killing her.

What are some tips for me if I am new to competitive programming? | Practice is obviously the most common advice given. But practice without goals is meaningless. Too harsh? ok, less meaningful :) 😣
What I mean by that is if you are an absolute beginner, or are able to attempt and solve Easy questions only on various coding platforms, then I would suggest to set some realistic targets beforehand to see continuous but achievable progress.
Competitive Programming is like a sport , you have to do practice as much you can. Every one faces problems like -:
1. How to start coding?
2. From where to start?
3. Which is the best language to code?
And a lot of questions gathered in mind, but if you make yourself to jump in the field of competitive coding you will feel that it is not that complex.
I also face a lot of problems before starting competitive coding, but my problem was solved by the best coding institute Coding Ninjas . I joined the batch and after joining I get to know everything about competitive coding. I know nothing about competitive coding but after joining Coding Ninjas I became passionate for competitive coding. 😎
I recommend CODING NINJAS for anyone who wants to be a competitive coder and wants to compete with our country’s best coders as well as with the coders around the whole world.
Why you should join Coding Ninjas for Competitive Programming Course ??
Mentors are assigned to the individual group of students where they can communicate through live chats and video sessions for their doubt support.One can pause and extend his/her course for upto 60 days and easily continue with college and semester exams, even if the college reopens in between the course.You will be awarded a Course Completion Certificate only if you pass with a minimum grade of 60% and a Certificate Of Excellence if you secure 90% and above.
I am telling some of the points before starting competitive coding which I get to know by CODING NINJAS
Keep a small goal to solve enough Div-II 250 problems without peaking into solutions, then 500 pointers, and then 1000 pointer in Div-II. During this process, you can learn and improve your skills in implementation, solving and speed. The process will be slow and may take up to 2–3 years, be patient and measure growth in each step. As you slowly climb the steps, your confidence will improve and one day can be among the top programmers.
The most important point is to not loose patience, and when you do take a break and come back stronger.
PARTICIPATE PARTICIPATE PARTICIPATE
• SPOJ: Its a problem Archive (recommended for all beginners) o Start with problems having maximum submissions. Solve first few problems (may be 20). Build some confidence. Then start following some good coders (check their initial submissions). Then start solving problems topic wise. o Never get stuck for too long in the initial period. Google out your doubts and try to sort them out or you can discuss with someone (ONLY IN THE BEGINNING). o Before getting into live contests like codeforces or codechef, make sure that you have solved about 50-70 problems on SPOJ.
• CODECHEF: Do all the three contests every month. o Even if you are unable to solve a problem do always look at the editorials and then code it and get it accepted (this is the way you will learn). o And even if you are able to do it, do look at the codes of some good coders. See how they have implemented. Again you will learn. o Same point apply to TopCoder and Codeforces as well.
• Codeforces: 4 to 5 short contests of 2 hour in a month (Do them once you develop some confidence).
• TopCoder: Once you have proper experience and you can write codes very fast.
Common mistakes by beginners :
1. Program should not print any extra character. Writing a statement like printf (‘’enter value of n”) would cause rejection on any platform.
2. Input and output format specifications must be read carefully. For example, most of the problems expect a new line after every output. So if we don’t write printf(“\n”) or equivalent statement in a loop that runs for all test cases, the program would be rejected.
To help with your algorithm preparation, I would suggest cracking the coding interview by gaayle laakmann mcdowell.
Learn to code efficiently, it might take a while, but dont give up. Learn to debug and test your code , which is the most important thing for a coder.
Start devising your own shortcuts and algorithms. This only comes with practise.
If it interest you, you can try your hand at data sciences. Many contests are coming up with data sciences as the theme.
So good luck! Keep coding! 👍👏✨

Can we defeat Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle by having one person measure the particle's position, while another one measures its momentum, but the two people don't talk to each other, but give their results to a third party? | Man, there’s been all the answers given but I can’t help voting for the question itself! So much ingenuity in trying to trick this evil Heisenberg dude with his evil principles! Yeah, what if he doesn’t know we talked? Like, behind his back?
Wrong Heisenberg, unfortunately!

If prediction in linear regression is based on the best-fitted line, then what is the need of gradient descent algorithm? | The gradient descent algorithm is used to find the best-fitted line by minimizing the sum of the squares of the residuals. The residual is the difference between the actual value and the predicted value. The sum of the squares of the residuals is called the cost function. The goal of the gradient descent algorithm is to find the line that minimizes the cost function.
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used to minimize a cost function. In the context of linear regression, the cost function is the sum of the squares of the residuals, or the differences between the actual values and the predicted values. The goal of gradient descent is to find the line that minimizes the cost function.
Prediction in linear regression is based on the best-fitted line, but the best-fitted line is not always the line that minimizes the cost function. The reason for this is that the best-fitted line is based on the data points that we have, but the line that minimizes the cost function is based on the entire population. The gradient descent algorithm is used to find the line that minimizes the cost function by taking small steps in the direction that reduces the cost function the most.
I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

How does the Canadian healthcare system prevent people from going to the doctor excessively when they aren't sick, with no copays and deductibles? | Well first thing in some provinces it does, it cost for many mundane things like bandages, doctor's note, filling out paperwork etc…
But that doesn't prevent the issues you talk about that is why it take months to get basics things like a CT scan and many people go to Mexico or the states to get things done in a timely manner. It's also why ER wait times are deadly long up to 8 hours.

What are the most underrated cities in the U.S.? | Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. The melding of Spanish, multiple Native American cultures, Anglo American and Mexican culture is quite distinctive. The area is beautiful. The food, art and architecture are unique. The Native American Pueblo of Taos has been occupied for at least 1000 years, making it as old as many cities in Europe. It was for 1000s of years the trading hub of much of the western half of north America and northern Mexico, from the Northern Plains down to parrots in Mexico, from the Pacific ocean to the Mississippi and the Gulf od Mexico. The area was the center of the only fully successful Native revolt in north America. The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 killed and drove all the Spanish soldiers, colonists and priests south of what is now the US Mexico border. They were not able to return for 12 years. When they did, the terms of colonization were very different. In some places such as the Hopi lands they were then forced out for good in 1700, never to return. It wasn't until the Americans came in the mid 19th century that they experienced a colonial government again.

Aloe vera gel is known for its hydrating and soothing properties, and it can help to calm irritated or inflamed skin. However, it's important to note that everyone's skin is different, and some people may be allergic or sensitive to aloe vera. If you've never used aloe vera on your face before, it's a good idea to do a patch test first to make sure you don't have an adverse reaction. Also, be sure to use a pure aloe vera gel without added fragrances or other ingredients that could irritate your skin. Finally, if you have particularly dry skin, you may want to follow up with a moisturizer after applying the aloe vera gel to help lock in the moisture.

If you are a medical worker, have you ever experienced a patient full out faking? | I have had quite a few “Pseudo Seizure" vs. Fake seizure patients, over the years. I don't know the statistics on it (or if they exist) but in my experience, they have mostly, if not all been young females. A percentage have a real seizure disorder mixed with the fake or pseudo seizures. A history of abuse was common with the patients that I saw.
We had a couple that clearly wanted Midazolam and/or had a benzodiazepines addiction. Most of these had no idea what a seizure should look like or watched too much bad TV. They would just jerk and flop all over the place but, if you said “hold still" so I can get some medications into your IV, they would hold that arm perfectly still for you. Meanwhile continuing the jerking act with the other arm and legs. As soon as medication was given, they would be awake, answering questions appropriately, etc.
** A note here to clarify about the medication we gave in the IV. It was generally not benzos/midazolam but another medication, ordered by the neurologist for these episodes. Some were ordered midazolam but, it was up to the neurologist and the judgement of us on scene as to the seizure being real or not. We would always say that we needed to get to their IV, so we could give them the medication their doctor ordered. We never said we were giving drug “A, B or C” and instead, give saline. Hopefully, other facilities don't play those games either, its unethical… **
The other type of pseudo/fake-seizure patient was basically an expert at it. They could and did fool many seasoned nurses, doctors and therapists.
It was usually something very subtle that made us suspicious. Sometimes it was frequent admissions to different facilities that threw the first red flag. Some were able to withstand all types of procedures and not “break". I intubated one patient in particular on 3 occasions over a 2 week period due to her being so good at it, she would desaturate and be apenic for an extended period. I have had to intubate several for this. Imagine the addiction they must have to put up with intubation ( of course, I didn't just intubate without proper oxygenation and premedications. I would use etomidate or propofol for induction, per RSI protocol ) The Neurological team thinks that most of this type probably have real seizures in addition to the fake ones. Most of the patients that had mixed fake and real seizures also had suffered horrible abuse in their life (another story for another day).
We would transfer this type of patient to another local hospital for 24 hour video EEG surveillance. It was not usually long before we got a report from the video EEG that would definitively answer any questions.

Can a Jew become a non-Jew? | Short Answer (without considering anything else) — No.
My answer is as a goyim and based on my faith as a Christian, among whom are “Jewish Christians”, or Messianic Jews. I also need to mention that the modern nation of Israel is a secular nation, but also maintains a Jewish identity where all people have their freedoms secured by the Israeli constitution.
To be Jewish is a tri-fold thing — faith, race, and nation.
Can a Jewish person become non-Jewish? Most practicing Jews in the US have their faith and racial identities, and may or may not be, an Israeli citizen. Some do have dual citizenship between US and Israel.
Faith — yes, a Jewish person can leave Judaism in favor of a different religion, without losing his or her Jewish identity. Also, someone may convert TO Judaism, so that is also possible.
Race — not really, one can never truly abandon one’s racial identity.
Nation — yes, there are many Jewish people around the world who do not consider themselves as Israeli citizens, although that number is reducing faster.

Are vinegar and baking soda safe for dogs? | The oçcasional spoonful of apple cider vinegar would probably be good for a dog but I'd go easy on the baking soda. Why would you give a dog baking soda ?

For pro-choice folks: If a man's wife or partner learns that she is pregnant and wants an abortion, should the father get a say in the decision if he wants to support and be there for the child? | For pro-choice folks: If a man's wife or partner learns that she is pregnant and wants an abortion, should the father get a say in the decision if he wants to support and be there for the child?
The only one who’s going to have their body hijacked for three quarters of a year is the wife or partner. She has the absolute right to decide whether she wants to go through that.
I would recommend that she at least consider the father’s wishes if she wants the relationship to last. If she doesn’t, then it doesn’t matter. But in all cases without exception, the decision is hers.

Why do Navy pilots salute with the left hand? | They do? Check out this video at about 40 seconds and 1 minute and 40 seconds. No left handed salutes. My mom was a Navy nurse.

Perhaps you’re confusing a hand signal given with the left hand for a salute?

What are the qualities of a successful leader? | A leader and a good leader may possess many traits but there is very thin that make a great leader.
BELIEVES IN UNITY
A GOOD LEADER always believes in team unity while a leader believes in only a team.
Unity makes a person strong. The quote states ”
GROUP—HURDLES—JOINT HANDS
When there is a problem, people come together and joint hands to overcome and work on solutions.
ENTHUSIASTIC
Lack of enthusiasm may downfall the morale of the team. Therefore in any situation, a good leader must know how to be enthusiastic especially when things don’t work as per the plan.
A leader can have many years of experience but if he lacks in these then he is just A “LEADER”
NEVER GIVE UP
Positive and never-give-up Attitudes are fundamental traits in a “GOOD LEADER”. Any Skill can be learned, however, such things are not taught in schools. Companies face unpredictable fluctuations, but consistency should be followed by them. If a team member failed to pursue then hen plays great leaders come forward to uplift them.

What will happen if you're right next to Earth in space and you throw a ball towards it? | Assuming that “right next to Earth in space” means “in [LINKED_TEXT: Low Earth orbit] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit]” such as the 90 minute [LINKED_TEXT: ISS] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station] orbit, and that you could accelerate the ball instantly to 40 m/s (90 mph) straight towards Earth, this is how the ball’s path would look like to a distant observer (sped up 3000x):
The effect of your throw is almost negligible to the observer, because you and the ball was already free-falling at 7900 m/s, with a kinetic energy some forty thousand times greater than your 40 m/s throw.
Of course, the throw has some effect. Ignoring wind resistance, if the throw was some 20 times faster (around 1900 mph), the ball would crash to the ground every time.
If we used a ball made of [LINKED_TEXT: dark matter] [URL: https://home.cern/science/physics/dark-matter] so that it didn’t crash with normal matter (i.e. the Earth), we could imagine a throw a hundred times faster, to illustrate how the throw in fact yields a complex and beautiful [LINKED_TEXT: Rosetta orbit] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_orbit]:

Do I need geography for civil engineering? | Yes, having a strong foundation in geography is beneficial for civil engineers and construction professionals. Geography provides essential knowledge and skills that contribute to the successful planning, design, and execution of construction projects.Firstly, geography helps civil engineers in site selection and land-use planning. Understanding topography, climatic conditions, and geological features of a region enables engineers to make informed decisions regarding the suitability of a location for construction projects. It helps them identify potential hazards, such as landslides, floods, or seismic activity, which may affect the safety and stability of structures.
Furthermore, knowledge of geography aids in the efficient utilization of resources. By understanding the natural resources available in a specific area, civil engineers can design projects that minimize environmental impact and maximize sustainability. They can also take advantage of local materials, reducing costs and transportation requirements.
Geography also plays a crucial role in infrastructure development. Civil engineers need to consider the existing transportation networks, water bodies, and urban development patterns when designing roads, bridges, and utility systems. This knowledge allows them to create infrastructure that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding environment, ensuring optimal functionality and accessibility.
Additionally, understanding the economic and social geography of an area is vital for civil engineers and construction professionals. It helps them assess the demographic characteristics, population growth, and land-use patterns, which are essential for determining the infrastructure needs of a region. This knowledge enables engineers to design projects that cater to the specific requirements of the local community, fostering sustainable development.
In conclusion, geography is a valuable asset for civil engineers and construction professionals. It equips them with the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed decisions, optimize resource utilization, and design infrastructure that aligns with the natural and social characteristics of a region. Incorporating geography into civil engineering education and practice can lead to more efficient and sustainable construction projects.

Why does Modi celebrate Deepavali every year with the Indian Army, even though India is a secular country, and he does not celebrate other religious festivals? | Sorry but it is hard to tolerate such silly questions asked by power motivated religious zealots. Our PM is openly Hindu follower does it make him less considerate towards other religions. He is not power driven politician to engage in cheap vote bank politics to appease a fraction of conservative insecular people such as you. Sorry if that hurt because the very ideology behind this question is the root cause of religious unrest and communal violence in our country. Be a proud Indian goddamn it! The very soldiers who sacrifice themselves on the border are the right people to celebrate Diwali with, as an Indian. Its up to a person to celebrate which festivals he wants to and with whom!

Why are expensive private middle and high schools worth it? I guess a 1:6 teacher to student ratio is pretty good, but are the teachers better at teaching or is it just something that the affluent can brag about? | “You get what you pay for”
This is a very true statement for almost everything, including education. Although the extremes offer diminishing returns (For example the 20k school is not 4 times better than the the 5k school. It’s better for the fact that your kids will be with other elites and can make connections that could pay off later but by education scores it won’t be 4 times better). The fact that these schools cost money that must be “chosen” to be paid is what makes them good.
”The problem is choice”
The parents that send their kids to private school choose to do without something(our hope of retirement is ours), to send their kids to a school where other parents are making the same choice. This choice by the parents at the school, is the real reason for success. If your child is the one disruptive in school it will be known by the other parents and you will be faced with social penalties. You after all are not only wasting your money you are wasting their money. Their kid is only a free spirit when they are disruptive but your child is an A-hole and future criminal.
All the computers, iPads, and smart boards will never make up for the damage one or two disruptive students can make in a classroom. Every minute one disruptive student takes from the teacher is 20 to 30 minutes of education lost for society (each other student loses a minute multiplied by number of students, even public school people get this). Additionally it burns the teachers out to the point they put on Aladdin by 1pm in hopes they will learn to sing while stealing stuff in the future.
Teachers love to actually teach. To watch a student who was struggling with a concept finally make that break through is why they love it. They see the progress they have made for the next generation and go home tired but with a feeling of accomplishment. It’s like going to the gym and spending the time working hard at the weights and leaving tired and sore. You know you accomplished something but if you have disruptive students it’s like going to the gym then spending the whole time telling the instragram star to get out of the way so you can lift, not take selfies. You leave frustrated and stressed and don’t want to go back (this is my reason, or it’s what I choose to tell myself).
At the private school my kids go to many of the teachers are former public school teachers who left because the money difference was not worth the various issues like discipline, lack of parental involvement, and administrative staff causing more work. Many teachers there are not qualified for public school but without the distractions they can still accomplish their task or bring in help for students that need help. There is so much more time to teacher when you don’t have to stop class because Johny is making a bad choice by setting Jane on fire.
Public school in contrast is not a choice. People may have moved to an area for the school but short of making one of the most drastic changes people make in their lives, buying a new home and moving, they are forced to pay for the school. There is no buy in by some of the parents. It is a cost that they can do nothing about. It is taken as tax or increased rent where the only alternative is losing your home. This psychological difference is why Johny, after extinguishing the fire, will be or won’t be disciplined at home.
I am NOT against public school. I am against the way it is done and the crappy product it is producing. I am obviously not talking about your kid being crappy it’s your neighbors kids who is crappy obviously. If I was in charge public school would be “free” to all non disruptive students. James can’t read because he is dyslexic then help is available. James can’t read because Johny smashed a desk on his head means Johny’s parents are given a choice.
Option 1 the full cost of educating Johny is now billed to you personally. This would be above and beyond the current property taxes.
Option 2 Johny would go to a boarding school where discipline is “encouraged”. This would be paid by tax payers and would obviously cost more for everyone but I would rather see an increase in my property taxes then Johny robbing me 15 years later. The current dumping of money in the current system does not work.
If you noticed I have not mentioned much about facilities. The big expensive building, sports facilities, outdoor track stuff does not have that big of impact on the mission of education. To educate the students. The non elite private schools rarely have top notch equipment yet they succeed in their mission more than many public schools. A building that handles the basics well is all that is needed. It’s what is inside that counts and that is people. People that must subconsciously or consciously make a choice to buy into the system. It may be a check or it may be effort to avoid writing a check but it must be made.
I have been in a matrix mood. Also making a choice is a huge psychological step in self fulfillment. If you believe you are powerless you will act powerless and do nothing to change the situation.
Note: I will edit my answers for grammar and spelling mistakes because no matter how many times I reread it now it will take 24 hours for me to sea my errors.

When the girl told me that she has a crush on me I was on cloud nine and so naively thought that the next step is going to be love, proposed but just to know her I’m only a crush and not a love material. She got committed to a different guy.
P.S: Silver lining is that I was able to focus on my career and in a good position however.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | N. tower: hit ~8:45 collapsed ~10:30am = 1:45hrS. tower: hit ~9:00 collapsed ~10:00am = 1:00hr
At the time of the attack, modern high rise buildings where required by law to have all structural members withstand 4hrs of open flame from class A & E (common combustibles and electrical equipment). The integrity and strength of the structure assumes there is no structural damage nor any damage to the fire resistant coating on steel members.
There is no requirement for high rise buildings to resist class “B” fires (combustible liquid) . The rule of thumb in firefighting is class “B” fires are twice as hot as class “A”. Since a high rise building is required to withstand 4hrs of class “A”, which is the equivalent of 2hrs for a class “B”, under normal conditions, the buildings should be expected to collapse any time after 2hrs.
However, there was significant damage to the fire resistant coating and major st...

How can I remove everything after the last number seen in a String in Java? | There are a few ways.
The simplistic one is to convert the String to an array of characters, iterate backwards over the array until you find a number - e.g. while (i >= 0 && (arr[i] > ‘9’ || arr[i] < ‘0’)) —i - then form your new String from the subset of characters up to that offset, either by making a new array or just running substring(0, offset) on the original string.
You could also use regular expressions, i.e. myString.replaceFirst(“([0–9])[^0–9]+$”, “\\1”). The round brackets just denote a part of the regular expression we want to refer to later with the \1 (the extra backslash is to get past string interpretation); square brackets indicate this character can be anything in this range - in this case any numeric character. The second square brackets have carat (^) as the first character to instead indicate any character NOT inbetween the brackets. + means the previous character appears 1 or more times. $ indicates the regex must end at the end of the overall string.
Put all that together, and you’re telling the regular expression parser to find a number followed by 1 or more non-number characters that ends at the end of the String and, if it finds that, replace it with just the number character.

How is HTTPS any more secure than HTTP if literally anyone can implement it? | You don’t get security by hiding implementation details, you demonstrate security by allowing people to examine your implementation so that they can point out vulnerabilities you may not have noticed.
If you read RFC2818 you’ll notice that it describes how to use TLS (Transport Layer Security) over http to provide a secure connection. It’s worth reading the relevant RFCs as they explain a lot of the background you need to understand how Internet protocols work.
Mind you, from the question, I would guess you’re not a software developer, so the RFCs may not help very much.

Why are Siberian Huskies abandoned in large quantities? | It’s sad to see large numbers of Siberian Huskies being abandoned, but it’s becoming an increasingly common issue.
They have become popular in recent years as a family pet, but many people don’t realize that they require a tremendous amount of attention, patience and training.
If they don’t receive adequate care, they can develop destructive behaviors that can be difficult to resolve.
In addition, they are very active dogs and require regular exercise to stay healthy, which can be challenging for many owners to provide.
Without appropriate training, daily stimulation and exercise, Siberian Huskies can become bored, frustrated and aggressive, leading owners to feel overwhelmed and abandon them.
It’s important for potential owners to do thorough research, and talk to experienced owners, before making the decision to bring a Siberian Husky into their home.

Can someone who enlists in the navy get transferred to the army if they find they are chronically seasick? | There was, and maybe still is, a program called Operation Blue to Green in which members of the Navy and Air Force can take an early discharge if they agree to enlist in the Army. This is done primarily for people in overmanned specialties that are undermanned in the Army.
Enlisted people can also request early discharge in order to accept an appointment to Officer Candidate School in another service.
It happens, but it is very rare.
It reminds me of a story I once read in Reader’s Digest.
An Air Force General was on an extended overseas flight with several junior members of his staff. The junior officers had heard a rumor that the General had once been in the Navy. Finally one of them got up the nerve to ask him if it was true and the General replied yes, he had been a Naval Officer.
The young man then asked, “Sir, what made you change to the Air Force?”
To which the General replied, “I get seasick. I also get airsick, but in the Air Force, I can look at my watch and know when it will be over. In the Navy, I needed a calendar.”

What is your opinion of Adam Schiff presenting indisputable evidence that the Trump campaign did in fact collude with Russia and criticising the GOP? | If Mueller, the special prosecutor with millions of tax dollars couldn’t find the evidence, and Adam Schiff had evidence that he didn’t provide I would have to ask why Adam Schiff is not currently in jail for withholding evidence in an investigation. The Mueller investigation found no evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign or Donald J Trump himself and the Russians. The Durham investigation seems to indicate that that the “evidence” that was submitted to the Mueller investigation was produced and paid for by the Clinton campaign and then fraudulently submitted to the courts. At this point it is obvious to me the Democrats have produced false evidence in the past so I won’t accept anything from them that doesn’t have providence on it’s origin.

How do I counter the statement "whatever that requires other people's labour is not a basic human right"? | We were all born totally dependent for our very survival, our very lives, on the labor of others, to feed and care for us.
Yet, the most basic human right, at the root of all others, is said to be: Life.
We remain, throughout our lives, interdependent: We always depend on others, for our survival. Hopefully, we return that to some extent, by their mutual dependence on us.
Any “rights” we may imagine ourselves to have, are always dependent on others.
In practice, any real (usable, enforceable) rights we may have are always the result or product of law. They are artificial, not “inalienable.”
What some refer to as basic human rights, are not realized unless implemented by some system of laws. They are not so much “rights” that an individual can demand, as they are social responsibilities, growing out of the “Golden Rule,” to treat others as we would wish to be treated.
Lists of “God given” or “inalienable” rights, are really just lowest common denominator lists of humane treatment that we would wish others to afford us. Can we demand that others treat us that way? Not unless our laws require it.
We all have social responsibilities in society that demands our active response in some circumstances. We cannot walk idly by while witnessing a crime and be doing our duty as members of society. Taxes are not theft, but merely the price of civilized society, the fee for having police, fire fighters, roads, schools, utilities, laws, currency, etc. without which civilization does not function. We all owe the tax share of our labor to the common good. Some of us adopt professions that owe a professional duty that goes beyond what we are strictly paid to do.
So, to ask whether a “Right” can be at the expense of someone else’s labor, is asking the wrong question. Asking whether health care is a human right is asking the wrong question. The better question is whether society has a duty or responsibility to provide it, to the extent that it can.

How much fuel did/does the Hubble Space Telescope need? | [LINKED_TEXT: Robert Frost] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Robert-Frost-1] has the correct answer as always, but there was another question that I had after reading it is, "How will Hubble maintain its orbit if it does not have any rockets".
The answer according to this article [LINKED_TEXT: How the Hubble Space Telescope Will Die] [URL: http://www.deepastronomy.com/how-the-hubble-space-telescope-will-die-video.html]
is that Hubble has relied on Space Shuttle for pushing it back up to a higher altitude however they are now no longer active. Hubble also has a "ring" installed on it on the last servicing mission so that it can be grabbed easier by some spacecraft.
Currently it has not been used, and it will likely not be pushed back up, which means in a few years it will start it's re-entry into Earth's atmosphere before which a space craft will be sent to grab it and safely guide the re-entry back into earth on safe areas.

Is organ similar enough to piano where a piano player that doesn’t know organ can just switch over to organ and it would be easy? | Organ is way more complex. Dealing with registration on the go is a challenge but having to the play the bass pedals with your feet as well as other controls really add to the complexity. The finger technique is also different as the action of the keys are very different and an organ note sounds as long as you hold it but there is no sustain.

Who would win, Killua Zoldyck or Shoto Todoroki? | Lilly’s kills him and I do mean Kill. He has no problem with it. He’s also blindingly faster without Godspeed and Godspeed just makes it ridiculous. Killua can also push several tons while todoroki has the strength of a normal human teenager. He challenges killua and his head kill be separated from his body before the pain signals set in.

Does Goldman Sachs only hire prodigies? | I have a story to tell you about this. But I’ll get to that. This question is the corollary to another commonly asked question, which is ‘Do you have to be a genius to go to Oxford?’ (or some other very prestigious and selective university).
The answer, in both cases, is no. Apart from any other consideration, the supply of prodigies (depending on how exactly we might define them) isn’t sufficient to meet hiring demand among leading banks and investment firms.
You certainly don’t need to be a prodigy to get in, therefore. But you do need to be very bright by most typical measures. For example, an SAT score that would be considered competitive among applicants for investment banking would be one in the 97th percentile or better. That’s some pretty rarefied atmosphere up there, to be sure, but it doesn’t fall into the realm of ‘prodigy’.
Interviewing an actual prodigy
The above said, I do recall a particular occasion when I interviewed a bona fide prodigy. Although I didn’t know it when the interview began.
I received a resume from an analyst I knew, who asked me whether I would interview her friend, ‘Mark’, who was doing a masters degree in math at Brown University (one of the 8 Ivy League universities, located in Providence, Rhode Island). That was about all the context she gave me. The resume itself was typical enough. I noted that Mark had completed his undergraduate degree in math at SUNY Albany (part of the New York State public university system) the prior year, and was indeed now pursuing a masters degree in math at Brown.
About halfway through the interview (which was by phone, rather than face-to-face), Mark quite nonchalantly, and in mid-sentence, said something like: “…so in my 17 years I’ve managed to fit in quite a bit…”
A moment later, the penny dropped and I said: “Hold on a second. What was that last thing you said?”
He replied: “Oh, I said, ‘in my seventeen years.’ I’m seventeen years old.”
I went on to learn that Mark had in fact been the youngest student ever admitted to SUNY Albany, at the age of 14. He’d completed his math degree in less than 3 years, and was now, aged 17, well into his masters degree at Brown. Along the way, he’d also found time to be the number one ranked speed chess player in the United States in the under-18 age category. When he was 10.
I sent his resume and my notes to the head of Goldman’s quant group, who had never returned a message from me so quickly in his life. After some further interviews, Mark was hired. Although since he wasn’t yet 18 I believe we had to get permission from his mom.

How do you know that you have found a true friend? | They will try to understand you in your anger. Will give you some space but come back when you need it. They share their assumptions with you. If they are being insecure or a bit jealous then they will instantly let you know. They wouldn't make you feel left out and will try their best to include you. Will give you their honest opinions with no sugarcoat.

Who would win in a matchup, 1988 Mike Tyson or 2020 Tyson Fury? | I feel fairly confident that the 1988 Mike Tyson would take care of business in such a matchup. However, the same matchup 2 or 3 years later would probably result in a different answer.

Is there any prayer which God hasn’t answered? | It is not as though, God did not want to answer, it is that we may have presented it the wrong way. For example you don't just ask or talk anyhow or anyway you please to a king or queen for a request and expect it. That's why before See Queen Elizabeth if you were to visit, you will have to be trained on your conduct and how you talk.
