Can you give me a brief history of Data Storage?

In 1725, Basile Bouchon invented punch cards, which communicate information in a machine language. The punched holes communicated a sequence of instructions and acted as on/off switches for devices such as self-playing pianos or looms. About a century later, Charles Babbage invented the first mechanical calculator, the Difference Engine using punch card instructions. Herman Hollerith continued developing this idea and made the Analytical Engine a reality by using punch holes to be a sequence of instructions and also store the instruction data on the device. In 1890, he developed a punch card data processing system for the US Census and went on to form the Tabulating Machine Company in 1896, later renamed International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). By the 1950s punch cards were being used regularly by the US government and industry. Even today, punch cards are still used in standardized tests and voting ballots. Initially invented by Fritz Pfleumer in 1928, magnetic storage gradually replaced punch cards in the 1960s. By 1965, Mohawk Data Sciences Corporation sold a key-to-tape magnetic tape device that was specifically marketed to replace the punch card. Cassette tapes started to become commonly used for most computers in the 70s and 80s. Fast forward to the 90s, affordable personal computers and magnetic disk storage replaced almost all punch card devices.

Why don't soccer players kick with their toe?

What are Jindo dogs like?

Jindos are extremely loyal, and territorial. Unlike most dogs, Jindos do not play fetch, and rarely bark. They are also very independent, and some would say they march to the beat of their own drum. When meeting strangers they tend to be very reserved, but are highly affectionate to their owners. It is very hard to earn their trust, but once you do Jindos make loving companions.

How do you play baseball

Baseball is a game that is played between two teams. The playing field is shaped like a diamond made up by four "bases" plus a pitching mound. Each team needs at least 9 players to occupy all field positions. Those positions are Catcher, Pitcher, First base, Second base, short stop, third base, left field, center field, and right field. The point of the game is to score more "Runs" than the other team. Each team takes turns trying to hit a ball pitched to them by the opposing teams pitcher. If you hit the ball you run in order from first base to second to third and then home. Once the ball is hit the other team can tag you out with the ball that you hit. Each base is a safe spot to stand so you can stop at any base and let the next person on your team try to hit the ball and advance you to the next base. If you are tagged out then your team has an out. You get three outs in an inning. Once there are three outs you switch from hitting to pitching with the other team. When you are batting you get three strikes and four balls. If the pitcher throws four balls then you can walk to first base. This is called a walk. If you swing and miss the ball, that is called a strike. You can also strike out by not swinging at a pitch that is in an imaginary strike zone. This zone is there to give the pitcher something to aim and the hitter a reasonable area to hit a ball. There are 8 innings in a game. After 8 turns being up to bat the team with more runs wins. The home team always hits last. There are lots of nuanced rules and it is most popular in the country that created it, the United States of America.

Help me pick a Lego set for my friends.

Lego has different sets for people in different ages. Each set usually has age guidance on the box. For small kids below 3 years old, I would recommend Duplo, because Duplo bricks have bigger size, and won't be swallowed by accident. For kids above 3 years old, but less than 10 years old, I would recommend Lego Classic. For those sets, people can use their imagination to create whatever things they like. For kids above 10 and adults, Lego Technic and Icons are super cool and good for display. For people interested in specific themes, like Star War, Harry Potter, etc, lego also has sets in those themes for you to choose from.

What is Akshardham?

Akshardham in New Delhi, India is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's largest comprehensive Hindu Temple. The 100-acre Akshardham complex on the banks of Yamuna has become an architectural landmark of India. The monument is a fusion of pink stone and pure white marble, where pink stone symbolizes bhakti (devotion) in eternal bloom and white marble that of absolute purity and eternal peace. It measures 356 ft. long, 316 ft. wide and 141 ft. hight, covering an area of 86,342 sq.ft. The marvelous, ornately hand-carved stone temple has been built without structural steel.

It was built by the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) organization.

What is a graph?

Graph is a set on nodes that are connected via edges. Edges represent the relationships between the nodes and can have multiple properties like weight or sign. For example the weight of the edge can represent how strong are the relationships between the nodes A and B, while the sign might represent wether these relationships are positive or negative.

A group of parents is upset about the school lunch menu. Some are concerned that there are too many processed foods, not enough whole grains, and too much-canned fruit instead of fresh fruit. How would you approach this dilemma?

I will review the labels for all the items that parents complained. Highly processed foods are often high in sodium content. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends Americans, including children, consume 2300 mg of sodium or less per day. Based on the budget and shopping situation, I will try to use as much fresh food as we can. If we can’t, I will carefully check the labels to choose frozen vegetables and low-sodium canned vegetables. Using more whole-grain bread, English muffins, bagels, and whole-grain corn tortillas.

Is Python or Java a better programming language?

Python and Java are two of the most popular and robust programming languages. Java is the fifth most commonly used programming language according to Stack Overflow. Java is generally faster and more efficient than Python because it is a compiled language. While it's one of the coding languages considered to be easy to learn because many of the processes of this high-level language run automatically. However, Python still takes the cake in terms of simplicity. As an interpreted language, Python has simpler, more concise syntax than Java. It can perform the same function as Java in fewer lines of code. Python also offers extensive libraries, especially around data analysis and machine learning. Because it's dynamically typed, it allows for even fast development compared to Java. Other key differences include how each handles memory management and the ability to run multiple threads at the same time. For example, lets dive into this threading difference. Java fully supports multithreading. When you use Java, you can run more than one thread at a time. When running multiple threads, they share a common memory area to increase efficiency and performance. Now if you search the web for threading in Python you might be a bit confused. You will find articles claiming that Python can't support multithreading but then you will also find tutorials and packages for threading and parallel processing. Python has a Global Interpreter Lock that only lets one thread execute at a time, so if you're working on a multi-threaded CPU-bound program, it'll likely be even slower. However, it's threading package allows you to speed up I/O bound programs. Using multiprocessing programs instead of multithreaded programs can be an effective workaround. The answer to which is better is largely dependent on the user and the use case. Before learning one or starting a new project with either, think about what your goals are and decide which one fits those more closely.

I have problems to connect to the remote service. How I could debug the networking issue?

There are few steps that could help to find the source of the problems. First we need to make sure that remote address is resolved correctly - we can use commands like nslookup & dig to resolve a host name to IP Address. If it's resolvable, we need to check that remote service is reachable - we can use tools like ping, traceroute, and related to check that network traffic is routed correctly. If it's not reachable, we need to check if routing is configured correctly and no firewall is blocking traffic between. If remote service is reachable, then we need to check if we can access the specific port on which service is listening - this is usually done with commands like telnet, nc and nmap. If port is not reachable, it's often happens when a firewall blocking traffic from external networks or traffic on non-standard ports.

Why is the sky blue?

All the light in our daytime sky comes from the sun, and our sun produces light in many different colors. To understand this, just think of a prism. White light enters, and a rainbow of colors exits. Our sun is like that. Its light may seem uniform but it is actually emitting many different colors. Our sky though is not a mix of blue and red and green because the earth's atmosphere is sandwiched between the sun and us, getting in the way. Atmospheric gases and particles scatter the incoming colors, bouncing them in all different directions. The amount of scattering increases as the wavelength of light decreases. Red light which has a long wavelength is scattered much less than blue light which has a short wavelength. As blue is scattered more, it fills our daytime sky. As the sun traverses the sky and moves low on the horizon, the light that reaches our eyes must actually travel further through the atmosphere. This has the effect of completely bouncing away all the blue light. We are left with the reds and yellows and oranges in wonderful mixture, making sunrises and sunsets so beautiful.

Where should I go hut skiing in Canada?

How can I learn to code?

There are thousands and thousands of resources online that you can use to learn how to code. It can seem overwhelming to take the first step. A good way to learn is to start with a small, easy project (eg: adding 2 numbers and showing the result) and build on it. Important to keep in mind is coding languages are just languages. So there is a structure and a set of rules to them. Once you start getting a feel for this, it gets easier to learn more quickly. In fact, coding languages are much simpler than languages we humans use to talk to each other :) Depending on how you learn best, you can start with your favorite search engine and/or video app to find a good starting point to start learning coding. Have fun !

Can we move away from fossil fuels in the next decade ?

In short No, Fossil fuels will be part of our Energy portfolio for several decades. Despite the general consensus that fossil fuels are the largest contributor to climate change, it’s also challenging to find an alternative energy source that replaces this on a global scale. As emerging nations grow, their demand for affordable energy will maintain the need for fossil fuels. However, while renewable energies have been projected to replace fossil fuels as the main energy source by 2050, we will still need to invest in decarbonization technology to offset the impact of maintaining emissions from fossil fuels.

What is the Tau Circle Constant?

Tau is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius. Some 21st century mathematicians and physicists believe Tau is a better choice than Pi for use in science and mathematics. Like Pi, Tau is an irrational and transcendental number. In decimal form, the value of Tau is 6.283185… Part of the motivation for Tau is the observation that the number 2*Pi or 2π occurs with surprising frequency throughout science and mathematics. This raises the question of whether Pi is really an important number or something equal to two times Pi is actually more important. Perhaps the implication is that Pi is exactly one half of some very important number! Further consideration of the question leads to several compelling observations: - Using C/r as the key circle constant is better aligned with the way we define a circle: the set of all points a fixed distance (r) form a give point. - Radian angle measurements of fraction of a circle make much more sense when Tau is used as the base constant. Using Pi, on quarter of a circle is Pi is Pi/2, one half is Pi, and the angle of a a full circle is 2*Pi. With Tau, the angle measures are intuitively aligned to the fraction of a circle: a quarter circle is Tau/4, a half circle is Tau/2 and the angle of a full circle is Tau. - Similarly, the radian zeroes, max, and min of the sin and cosine functions align to fractions of Tau in an intuitive fashion that aids, rather than confuses, understanding. - Key formulas that traditionally use Pi actually show more clear mathematical meaning when expressed using Tau. For example, the area of a circle itself, when expressed with Tau, shows the same pattern of quadratic forms in distance fallen, spring energy, and kinetic energy. - Similarly, the tau-based formula for circular area actually confirms to the original proof by Archimedes showing that area of a circle equals the area of a triangle with base C (circumference) and height r (radius): A = 1/2 b*h = 1/2 C*r = 1/2 (Tau*r)*r = 1/2 Tau*r^2. Tau has seen significant adoption since it was originally proposed. The relationship between Tau and Pi is very simple. Tau = 2*Pi. Perhaps just as informative is the fact that Tau > Pi.

When do you think humans can set feet on Mars

NASA has set a goal of landing humans on Mars by the mid 2030 but it's also affected by many factors such as technology readiness, funding and political willingness. To travel to Mars takes about 6 months and we need much more powerful rocket and also enough supplies to support human travelers on the way. Even for a short period of staying on Mars, we need substantial life support on Mars which is extremely hostile to life at this moment. The biggest challenge might be how to return the human safely to the Earth. Overall landing humans on Mars is a audacious effort and would be a major milestone for humans exploring the space and eventually go beyond the Solar system.

How did Niagara Falls form?

Scientists believe a glacier originally formed the falls toward the end of the Ice Age some 13,000 years ago when tons of ice melted and eroded over time. Erosion caused the river bed to drop like a cliff, and the river continued to flow over what is now known as Niagara Falls. This slow process still occurs today when the water freezes and thaws, wearing away and moving more rock under the river surface, causing the falls to move farther upstream.

Why has pickleball become so popular?

Pickleball has indeed become very popular. Promoters of the game have been calling it the "fastest growing sport" for some time now. There are a few reasons many people cite for why the sport is so popular: - It is a quick game to learn. The rules are pretty simple, and more importantly, the skill needed to hit functional shots in the game is not very difficult to learn. Compare it to tennis, where it can take multiple lessons from a professional teacher just to get to a point where you can hit a few good shots. With pickleball, almost anyone of any age or fitness level can pick up a paddle and be playing a game in just minutes. - Pickleball culture has tended to be very inclusive. Many pickleball groups make it a point to be very inclusive of all ages, races and backgrounds. This often creates a sense of community for players, and makes them more likely to keep playing and invite friends along, thus growing the sport. - It is a fun way to get in a decent workout. While not as taxing as, say, tennis, pickleball can be a good workout. Especially since unlike tennis there is very little downtime. The pace of games is very quick and involves near constant movement. The workout is not cardio-intensive, but still it is an easy way to have fun while staying active.

Do you have any dietary restrictions? If so, what are they.

Yes. I'm both kosher AND vegetarian. That mean simply getting kosher food that contains meat or fish won't be something I can eat. Likewise, a vegetarian entree from a regular restaurant also won't work as there are all sorts of problems that might ensure. These include: cross-contamination w/ utensils used to prepare meat or fish, inclusion of ingredients that appear vegetarian but aren't (e.g., cheese made with animal rennet or enzymes, pastries containing gelatin made from bones, natural colorants or flavorings derived from insects or animals, egg-substitute made from plasmolyzed fish blood, etc.). My own personal standard doesn't require certification by a kosher agency; but in general, I'll only eat at places that only serve vegan or vegetarian items (and from the latter, there may be items I can't eat).

In event it does not restart look for suitable landing site. If at all possible find a site that allows for a landing into the wind. Declare an emergency, convey location if possible. Refer to emergency landing procedures with a non-operating engine.

Which is better - skiing or snowboarding

I prefer skiing over snowboarding. For three reasons: safety, reliability, and expediency Safety - snowboarding can be a very dangerous sport. I'd been skiing and snowboarding for years. One winter I had a snowboarding accident and slid into a tree. Snowboarding requires larger turns with a bigger radius. I wasn't able to turn in time to avoid the tree. Reliability - The thing about being on only a single piece of equipment is that your balance relies much more on the snow conditions. Under ideal conditions, its great to be able to snowboard and maintain control with the edge. Skiing on powder is also a dream. However, if the conditions are less than ideal, then snowboarding on ice becomes a dangerous, out of control situation. Skiing on ice is also no picnic, but at least you can stabilize and balance on your two skis. Expediency - Skiing with friends inevitably means that you are waiting for the slowest one before you can start down the mountain. I was that friend. Snowboarders have to sit down and strap in, while skiers can pretty much get right off the lift and start down the mountain immediately. This makes mixed groups of skiers and snowboarders the trickiest. So I would sometimes snowboard if I was traveling with snowboarders, and ski if I was traveling with skiers.

Why practicing sport is important ?

Studies show that practicing sport regularly can reduce the risk of cancer and improve your overall health. You can practice what we call "neat", meaning you don't have to go for a swim or a run 1h a day, you can already be physically active by walking 30 minutes or 1 hour per day, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, going shopping or house cleaning and so on.

What is the best skill in judo?

Judo is a martial art, consistency, and dedication should be your doctrine if you want to succeed. In Japan, you could stay white belt for ten years before reaching the first dan grade, which stands for black belt level 1. This could be a bit disappointing for common standards, so in the rest of the world, to encourage practitioners and demonstrate progress, a belt colors system has been created. Anyone can practice, at any age. Strength is important in competition, but the real spirit would be to rely on using the strength of the opponent, breaking balance with swift movements, and using your body to block, push, rotate, and endless combinations of posture to conclude the movement by a clean and controlled projection.

What are some of the best places to eat in Boston?

What is a good approach to grocery shopping?

Grocery shopping can be a difficult task because grocery stores are often crowded. A good approach to grocery shopping is to go during hours when not a lot of people are grocery shopping. An example would be during a lunch break instead of going at night when most people are off of work or going during the work week instead of going on the weekend. Avoid Sundays at all costs! Sundays are the busiest day for grocery shopping. Once you've selected your day and before you've gone to the store, make a list. A list will make you more efficient once you get to the grocery store. Organize your list by aisles. An example of this is organizing your list by produce, meats, household supplies, snacks, and drinks. This way you can go aisle-to-aisle skipping aisles that don't have what you are shopping for.

In general, a cocktail contains a base spirit, flavors from bitters or amaros, and something to sweeten. There are optional ingredients to add as well, like fruit, juice, or herbs. The amount of each ingredient can vary the flavor significantly, so it is important to understand the impact of each ingredient. For example, very strong flavors like bitters or absinthe should be used in very small quantities. Sometimes even a rinse in the cocktail glass or spritz on the top of the prepared cocktail is enough to add the desired amount of flavor. A good cocktail comes about from a balance in flavors that build and develop off one another. The deep wooden flavor in whiskey is brightened by the citrus twist of an old fashioned. The sweetness from pineapple juice is deepened by the bitterness of campari in a jungle bird. The bitterness of ginger syrup is balanced with the tartness of lemon juice in a penicillin. Many newer cocktails are spins off a classic. Each builds off a flavor profile and modifies some of the more subtle flavors therein. If one wants to experiment with creating a new cocktail, starting with a classic favorite could be a good place to start. It is also possible to create the same balanced flavors without the use of spirits (or with the use of alcohol free spirits).

Why and how are people choosing to electrify their homes?

An increasingly popular trend is to replace dirty appliances (in other words, those that consume gas or other carbon-based fuel sources) with clean energy appliances (typically those powered by electricity that is in turn generated by solar or wind power). The main motivation for doing so is to reduce a household's carbon footprint and help address global warming. Government incentives, economies of scale and technological innovation have also made it possible for consumers to save money by changing to electric appliances. The most common household appliances that have traditionally been powered by gas are the furnace, water heater, stove, air conditioning unit, and dryer. Replacements for these appliances include heat pumps that can replace both the furnace and air conditioner, electric water heaters and dryers, and induction stoves. To power these electric appliances in environmentally friendly ways, consumers are either generating the electricity on their property by installing rooftop solar panels or they are selecting green energy sources when they pick their plan from their local utility provider.

What is the best age to drive a car?

In U.S legal age to drive is 16 years old. You will need to pass a written test and driving test in DMV to get your driver's license. However, I will not recommend driving at 16 because the insurance cost for young teen drivers is very high. It can be over $3000 per year and some states can even reach $5000. Also, most 16 years old is not prepared to handle the mental and physical demands of driving, their also easy to blend in their emotion when they are driving.

How do you explain cloud computing to a 5 year old?

Imagine you are building some thing using lego pieces. All of your legos are in basket. As you start to build your desired structure you start to take 1-3 or couple of handful of legos from the basket. As you start to give some shape to the structure you are designing you start to put back some of the legos into the basket you don't need. Overtime you keep changing the shape slightly here and there; sometimes making the structure smaller and sometimes a little bigger. And you are doing all of these from the lego collection in the basket of yours. Cloud computing in a similar way is compute power that you can rent out from a cloud provider who has huge data centers spread across the world (This is the basket). As your application needs compute resources to meet the demand; you borrow compute resources from the cloud providers data center and give it back when you don't need it.

Was the new deal successful or a failure to solve the problems of the Great Depression?

The new deal was a success to solve the problems caused by the Great Depression because he took action quickly, he passed many acts, and he kept the moral up for the people. Franklin Roosevelt writes "This is no usolvable prroblem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war." Roosevelt is saying that unlike Hoover, he was going to take action on what was happening. Anything he will do will be treated as if it was war because it was affecting them as much as war would. The New Deal Legislation shows that Franklin Roosevelt had a god relationship with Congress. 11 new acts were passed in 6 years while Rosevelt was in office. This helps people get jobs, lower prices, and help people get money they deserve. Roosevelt says "This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. This shows that Rosevelt knows how to lead people even in the hard time. He knew while it was bad, everyone will look to him, so he can't seem scared and he can't kill the moral of the people. With all of this, Roosevelt was able to lead the country away from the Great Depression and started to get them out of it.

How do I calm down a toddler when they are having a tantrum?

Toddlers have big expectations and even bigger feelings and they do not yet hav the ability to identify and control their emotions and reactions; it's the parents job to help their toddlers learn to cope and adjust. Not all children are the same, so there is no "magic bullet" to calming down a child in a tantrum, but a couple things that can help when your child is having a melt-down: 1. Remember that their feelings are real and they are not trying to manipulate. Young children do not yet have the capacity to manipulate 2. Make sure the space is safe for the child, and any other children around. 3. Do not raise your voice to match their intensity! Use a calm, level tone with the child. Though this can be very difficult when you are also frustrated, a lower tone will help the child lower theirs as well. 3. Let the tantrum run out of steam. 4. Give a lot of hugs to your upset child, when they are ready 5. When your child is calmed down, talk about what happened! Give their feelings names (sad, angry, frustrated) to help your child identify the feeling when it happens next time, and talk with them about what they should do instead of throwing a tantrum (take a break, tell an adult/parent, deep breaths, etc.)

What is the best kind of shade tree for a backyard in growing region 6?

There are many great trees homeowners in growing region 6 may want to consider for their backyard depending on their priorities. First, the two main types of trees are deciduous, trees that lose their leaves each winter, and evergreen, which retain their foliage year round. Many of the most popular shade trees are deciduous trees, however there are some great evergreen options as well. Starting with deciduous trees, there are flowering trees and traditional shade trees. Of the traditional shade trees, you may want to consider maples and oaks, of which there are many varieties. Red maples grow a bit slower than silver maples, but have hardier bark, beautiful red leaves in the fall, and a more pleasing traditional branching habit that many prefer vs, Silver maples. Sugar maples growth slower still, but are beautiful, prized trees that turn glowing orange in the fall and produce the sap used in maple syrup come spring. These trees can be 40-70 feet tall at maturity. Oaks are incredibly beautiful trees that are typically a little slower growing than maples, but have strong bark, enabling them to survive harsher conditions and have a long lifespan. They can handle being used as street trees as they do fine with moderate pollution levels and salt from de-icing. You really can't go wrong with maples or oaks as a summer shade tree, with their tall canopies providing wonderful shade once their leaves fill in during the spring. Some popular flowering options that provide ample shade include cherry and magnolia trees, both of which have beautiful showy spring flowers and reach a height of 20-60 feet at maturity depending on which of the many variants you choose (be careful with this as some are best suited to warmer climates and don't tolerate the cold as well). For evergreens, the options are a bit more limited as many of these trees have low canopies that extend all the way to the ground. Many species of spruce and fir tree can have their canopies raised as they mature, creating space underneath for shade. Some pine trees have ample canopy under them, however their thin needle density can limit the amount of shade they provide. Whichever you ultimately choose, Shade trees add a ton of value to a home and are a great investment. Consider working with an arborist to make the decision based on your lighting and soil conditions. Enlisting a professional's help with planting will ensure your new tree is set up to grow healthy and strong.

Why is the United States Military Academy called West Point?

The United States Military Academy is called West Point because it is on the western point of an S-turn on the Hudson River. During the American Revolution, the Revolutionary Army stretched an iron chain across the Hudson at this point because British ships would have to slow down to navigate the S-turn, making them susceptible to cannon fire. The British never tested the chain, and their Naval forces remained separated in Canada and New York. Due to its success on the western point of the river, the United States Military Academy has been commonly referred to as "West Point," since the military academy became the first training institution for U.S. Army officers in 1802.
