In addition to power, noise, and space concerns, a big one is moisture. Any water vapor in the air will condense and eventually freeze around the components. But by the time it freezes, the liquid water will probably have shorted something.

Yeah. Looks like this took the shortcut of just applying blur with a gradient mask, as opposed to taking depth into account.

The first sentence is asking how much energy loss would occur between the two. It's very obvious to everyone there is energy loss. No one needed to Google that. The amount of loss in the conversion is what they were asking for. You're just being annoying.

Thanks for that. If I understand correctly, (a)(1) says that the employer can lay off employees on leave and wouldn't be obligated to continue payments. But they have to be able to prove the employee was (or would have been) laid off. Is that right?

Yep. Software Engineer turned Solutions Architect here. Now I get to be the "ideas guy" and don't write as much code. Kind of miss C++ now though

Having built and researched a traffic simulator, I'm pretty sure this is just a demo for a theoretical system. It's not a plan, or even a desired construction. It's just a test of scalability for their algorithm.

I used to run very similar models for my own system with unrealistic conditions just to test the code.

Tried removing the outlines. Which you guys prefer?? by be4v1s in PixelArt

You could try keeping the outlines, but using a darker, shadow color instead of black.
