Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me: Every time a satellite passes, we have to throw out a portion of the image, and those pixels are lost. The tricky part is actually deciding how wide the gap should be to maximize science and avoid systematic bias. As you can see in Figure 3,

Lobbying is corruption

« Have you ever tried to explain lobbying to a European? Neither have I. But George Hotz just did the opposite: he explained it to everyone who is not American. Read it. It is short, funny, and devastating. »

Yandex LLC [...] is a Russian technology company that provides Internet-related products and services including a web browser, search engine, cloud computing, web mapping, online food ordering, streaming media, online shopping, and a ridesharing company.
