China has thick fog because its servers can't handle a draw distance of more than a mile.

Often such human trafficking is traveling willing under a false job offer. Other times they are escorted but rarely drugged & boxed.

Nah. It looks like mud or sediment. When you start seeing weird soapy bubbles or black goo, then pollution.

he did say dirty, and you are saying "its not dirt, its dirt!"

Nah ports are like that everywhere, the props from the big ships stir up the mud and the crud on the bottom.

Oh really? I would think in a deep water port even huge ships would be too far above the bottom to do that.

"deep water" is relative

Ports need to be dreged up onf occasion due to sedimentation built up.

Points on a sphere are typically given in the form (ϕ,λ) rather than (x,y) which is usually reserved for points in a plane.

You think you're so clever, beans. I'll remind the court that the earth is large enough to be locally planar for these purposes.

This picture represents 'to' in that equation nicely.

(x0, y0, z0) to (x1, y1, z1)

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

from (θ0, φ0, r0) to (θ1, φ1, r1), since the world is approximately spherical. But (x, y, z) = sph(θ, φ, r), so it doesn't really matter… :)

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

We don't have to worry about Z. I doubt that someone will be confused that their shipment is missing because they didn't look up.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Well it could be buried of it's at the wrong z too.
