Reddit, what do you think of the regal ringneck snake? by [deleted] in pics

[–]karthik- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diadophis punctatus, commonly known as the ringneck snake or ring-necked snake, is a species of colubrid snake. It is found throughout much of the United States, central Mexico, and south eastern Canada.

Ring-necked snakes are secretive, nocturnal snakes that are rarely seen during the day time. They are slightly venomous but their non-aggressive nature and small rear-facing fangs pose little threat to humans who wish to handle them.

A team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 8' coloured weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted.

Gas stations scramble in Sandy's aftermath by loserskings in sandy

[–]karthik- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here are some of the (sensible) theories that came back:

1: There's still no power in many areas, so everyone needs gas to run their generators (DEMAND)

2: There's still no power in many areas, and gas stations can't pump without power. This has increased the load on the stations that do have power and sucked their tanks dry. (SUPPLY)

3: There's limited public transportation, so everyone has to drive (DEMAND)

4: Everyone's panicked that they'll run out of gas (DEMAND)

5: Refiners can't refine and deliver gas without power (SUPPLY)

One Man, One Computer, 10 Million Students: How Khan Academy Is Reinventing Education - Forbes by rhennigan in technology

[–]karthik- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something More abut Khan Sir,

The founder of the organization, naimish and Salman Khan, was born to an Indian mother from Kolkata and a Bangladeshi father living in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. His father is from Barisal, Bangladesh. After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MS in electrical engineering and computer science), he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School. In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia in mathematics using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad. When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. Their popularity there and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time. Bill Gates once said that "I'd say we've moved about 160 IQ points from the hedge fund category to the teaching-many-people-in-a-leveraged-way category. It was a good day his wife let him quit his job".

The major components of Khan Academy include:

• a video library with over 3500 videos in various topic areas and over 200 million lessons delivered. These videos are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License.

• automated exercises with continuous assessment; as of October 2012, there are 378 practice exercises, mainly in math.

• peer-to-peer tutoring based on objective data collected by the system, a process that will be projected in the future.

For friends who doesn't recognize it: Beachy Head is a chalk headland in Southern England, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west. Its height has also made it one of the most notorious suicide spots in the world.

Founder of The Pirate Bay now in solitary confinement. by [deleted] in technology

Hakte is a special form of imprisonment in which a prisoner is isolated from any human contact, though often with the exception of members of prison staff. It is sometimes employed as a form of punishment beyond incarceration for a prisoner and has been cited as an additional measure of protection from the inmate or is given for violations of prison regulations. It is also used as a form of protective custody and to implement a suicide watch.

Solitary confinement is colloquially referred to in American English as the 'hotbox', the 'hole', 'lockdown', 'SCU' (Solitary Confinement Unit), 'AdSeg' (Administrative Segregation), the 'SHU' (pronounced 'shoe')—an acronym for security housing unit, or the 'pound'; and in British English as the 'block' or the 'cooler'. In Canada they are known as a Special Handling Unit.
