For measuring survival my old lab championed the Kaplan-meier estimator for its ability to censor non-cancer causes of death. The 5yr survival can be heavily skewed if patients are dying from secondary causes such as heart attacks, getting hit by a bus, etc. Oftentimes patients with cancer have other serious comorbidities.
A used HP 5890 might be 3k usd but realistically you are looking at 40k for a refurbished unit. That's what I paid for mine. You can never turn off a GC without an elaborate shutdown procedure. They consume a lot of power and require AC to be running. You need to keep a low level of gas flowing all the time.
It's about as far from accessible as one can get. I can't even imagine sample prep and...well, it's just not a viable solution. As a manufacturing principle QC should be performed in process and at the least processed state.
You may be underestimating the power draw of supercharger stations. My model X pulls 200-300Amps of 400V power at a supercharger station with 8-12 stalls.
Just to clarify -- it does not maintain that power. It will quickly ramp up to that on empty-ish batteries (320 amps at 320 volts is max that I know of) and maintain that until the battery is ~50% full. It will then ramp down and charge more slowly. While I can make lots of guesses as to why they charge in this way I don't know for sure on any of them.
This is how Lithium batteries are charged - CC/CV. You first have constant current stage, then as the battery fills up you shift into constant voltage stage where the current is gradually reduced until the battery is full.
However CC/CV change doesn't normally happen at 50%, but further down the charging cycle. It may be that Tesla throttles the current ahead of time due to thermal constraints of the charging system.
10kW array would be at least 600 sqft, so that will be a lot of commercial real estate.
The state/feds should stop subsidizing utility solar and incentivize covered parking lot panels. Prettier than lots and putting the energy where the cars are.
But the stalls work in pairs. They all can't deliver 80kw simultaneously. Ever wondered why sometimes you only get 100A? Because your neighbor, who got their first, gets first dibs on the power, and you get the leftovers.
I've never actually experienced this. I believe the 320 amp / 320 volt charging is for emptier cars... I've plugged in at a 100% full charger and gotten full power charging.
I found this description of a 'typical' supercharger setup:
"The eight bay setup takes a 12kV, 750kVA feed from the utility, steps it down to 480V three phase on site, pushes that into 2000A switchgear which feeds four (one for each pair of bays) SuperCharger units at 480V/200A."
I can't comment on Hillary's character other than she seemed cold when I met her. I do have to say though that oftentimes there are larger strategic decisions to be made. "The united states has no permanent allies or enemies--only interests."
Kind of shocked to hear about this happening at a "legal clinic". I'm familiar with the business structure behind these types of programs and they're invariably seedy characters involved with a paralegal group and lots of cold calling. Clogging up the courts so you can avoid paying rent...shrug
Who said anything about going to court? It's a simple delay tactic to give the client time to save enough money for a deposit on a new place. By the time the court date is even set, they have already moved. Know that the client by this point is probably locked out of their apartment. Not all landlords act legally. By initiating legal proceedings the client can get back in, getting a place to sleep so that they can continue working.
As for seedy, this isn't ambulance chasing. This is law students helping the poorest of the poor. Nobody ever cold calls anyone (Where did you see that?). There is no profit to be had. Most legal clinics are funded by law schools and similar institutions. And I say "funded" as in they give them a place to meet clients. Our clinic moved around, seeing people in church basements and community centres after hours. The licensed lawyers we worked with all acted pro bono. This is poor people being treated very badly and needing the help of lawyers they cannot afford.
The business pitch is usually "delay evictions now". The cold caller will get a list of properties that have recently gone into foreclosure. They call and offer to delay your eviction by 3-5 months as long as you pay them $400/month. Then they have paralegals file paperwork with the courts to contest the eviction. Basically they're using due process to delay being evicted and instead of paying their landlord they're paying the cold caller. I first saw this scam being run by a group of former drug dealers.
I would complain to the state bar about your legal clinic behaving unethically. The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
That's not a legal clinic. That's a law firm or, i suspect, a referral service (a clearing house) that farms cases out to cutthroats. Legal clinics don't take fees. Clients don't pay and cash settlements almost never happen. Clinics are generally staffed by law students. Complain away. Every local bar promotes clinics as a means of serving indigent communities. None would consider the assertion of a client's right to a jury trial as any sort of wrongdoing.
"The bulk of the clinic’s work consists of litigation in the Boston Housing Court, defending evictions and prosecuting affirmative cases to improve housing conditions and to prevent utilities from being shut off."
I request work samples from applicants with the same brief that would be given to a task currently facing our internal team. It makes it easy to compare candidates not only to each other but to our internal team. As our internal team has the project fresh in their mind they're aware of the requirements, scope, and limitations of the project. It makes them better able to judge the candidate's work.
Of course we pay them for this work at a predefined rate.
Yea, this is what I recommended to my coworker who ended up taking the marketing manager job. Ask to be paid for the work in exchange for Uber receiving exclusive use of it. Not sure if she ended up asking for it though. They still save money on this, and they should be well aware of the benefits of non-employees performing work.
I was specifically referring to the brand name and I, unfortunately, can't speak to the differences with never having seen the bee pollinated honey seen in the article.
I will shed some light on THC infused honey (and edibles in general). Edibles are typically made from the lowest quality part of the plant known as 'trim'. For edibles the typical choice is ethanol for extraction which also extracts and concentrates any pesticides or sulfur used(sulfur burns are used as a pesticide alternative). Then that extract has solvent removed via rotary evaporation and that oil is mixed with honey and packaged in someone's warehouse. You'll often see honey and THC separate into two visible fractions if effort wasn't put into proper formulation.
For the honey in the article the beekeeper is hoping the trichromes(THC containing) of the marijuana plant will be carried and incorporated into the honey. I highly doubt this will work unless there are other instances of pollen products showing up in honey...but it's great marketing.
Thanks for that datapoint which shows that a customer received a working chinese onewheel board before the american company's patent application was even first published, and long before that american company had a working product based on those principles for sale.
Amusingly, bitpay told me I wasnt eligible to use their services because I vend electronic cigarettes. Too risky for them... not too risky for my cc merchant though.
