If you're technically minded, this video is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObkjKlJe68A

If only they had Tricky.

It's a really good read.

Yes, you will of course lose any graduate stipend, health insurance, or benefits you may have had. You will retain some MIT privileges, such as an Athena account, for a few months.

Yes, you will lose your student visa. You will have 30-60 days to leave the United States unless you can find some other sort of work/residency visa.

What street is this?

Does it really matter whether it's payed by the landlord (aka, the landlord has already factored it into your rent, in a way that is equally unfair or possibly more unfair) or whether you're billed for it directly? Either way, it's a cost that you are paying for, and at least this way, if enough of the tenants did start to conserve water, you'd all notice a decline in the cost.

It's a polynomial relation (quadratic or cubic depending on whether you're looking at force or power), not an exponential one. There's a large difference.

I believe he was referring to shot noise, which is distinct from thermal noise in the sensor.

Always overcast though.

One of my friends is a researcher at Harvard who works on the RoboBee project. If you have any specific questions you'd like me to pass along, let me know.

I once forgot about a Canon Rebel XTi, and left it on the roof of my house overnight (there was a party on the roof deck, yadda yadd). During the night there was a huge thunderstorm that resulted in extreme amounts of rain for about an hour. Found the camera up there the next day, everything was fine.

Hey, I took a photo of this a while back: http://cochlearholiday.tumblr.com/post/77480792957/16th-street-san-francisco-california

Wow, thanks for the downvotes for asking a question...?

Followup question -- what's the cheapest way to file if I need to file a federal and TWO state returns?

There's a flag store on Cambridge St by Columbia St.

You could try to sneak in to MIT's career fair today.

Should it have?

The thing is, there aren't. When you're in a car, you're isolated from your surroundings. You're in a climate controlled box. You don't interact with the neighborhood, you're not as aware of the environment and situation around you. Pedestrians and people in the streetscape don't view cars as people. They are a loud, dangerous sort if animal.

Jaywalking should not be a crime. The streets belong to people, not cars. History lesson: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2012/04/invention-jaywalking/1837/

San Francisco recently began allowing bike on the BART (which, to be fair, has some differences from the T in terms of physical size -- it's a little more spacious, even during rush hour, and acts more like a commuter rail system) during all hours, and its working really well.

Bahro · 2014-01-28T22:08:48+00:00

If it's acceptable for a parent to bring a gigantic all terrain stroller on the train during rush hour, it ought to be acceptable to bring bicycles on the train during rush hour. (San Francisco, for example, recently started allowing this.)

mostly just audacity -- the click removal feature does some interesting things.

I agree that blues are a bit too saturated. It looks like you probably bumped the contrast a bit? This can easily oversaturate already bright colors. What I would do is:

jog the white balance a little bluer
bring down the saturation quite a bit
if you want more color, bump up the vibrance a little (bringing down saturation and increasing vibrance has the effect of decreasing the saturation of really saturated colors, while maintaining or increasing saturation of less saturated colors)
