| What's in the way of creating a natural-sounding voice that doesn't rely on pre-recorded words? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 10:52 AM PST In other words, when I get directions from a navigation device or the announcer on public transport there's usually either a pre-recorded message (e.g. "examplestreet") or a combination of an established set of words, such as "head" "right" "next" "turn", resulting in a rather jarred sentence. I realized there's a lot to a voice and humans are great at noticing even the slightest mistakes, but considering how incredibly great we got at rendering facial expressions and the astonishing sound design in various media I couldn't yet figure out what's keeping us from creating such thing. I also have no clue wether this is the correct flair, sorry. [link] [comments]  |

| Where does the yellow river get its water from? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 11:22 AM PST The Yellow River is a huge river, with a significant discharge rate, and essentially its vast waters are what birthed Chinese civilisation, but I cannot figure out why it exists. Its source is the Tibetan plateau, but the eastern and northern part of the plateau. The plateau is around 30-35 degrees north, which means it is in something of a rain shadow, but fortunately the monsoon comes up from the equator and saturates the plateau giving vast quantities of water to the Ganges, Indus and Brahmaputra rivers which gave rise to Indian civilisation. But, as we know from basic geography, rain falls on the windward side of mountains, that is, clouds come along, hit the mountains, rise, dump their water on the windward or "first" side of the mountains, and the leeward side gets nothing. So, why, when the source of the Yellow river is so much farther north, after the monsoon would surely have given up all its rain, if indeed it even gets that far north (I don't think it does) and since west of the Tibetan plateau there is desert and lightly rained-on grassland, there's going to be no cloud coming in from the west to sprinkle the northern Tibetan plateau with rain... so where does all that vast amount of water come from? I've tried my darndest to find a chart that maps the discharge at various points from source to mouth that might illuminate me, but I can't find any google search terms that find that for ANY river. Can anyone source me what I seek or answer this riddle? [link] [comments]  |

| What's something that was incurable 10 years ago which is curable now? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 09:16 AM PST people actually like if their condition is incurable now, it's going to be that way for the rest of their life. How hopeless is it really? I know cancer has not been cured what about other things. Is there any decent chance that neuropathy will be cured soon? What has been cured in the last decade? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Dec 2016 12:11 PM PST Might be a silly question. Still curious just the same. What would happen to the smoke/pollution if we started burning a bunch of stuff here on earth but had all of the nastiness float up through a giant smokestack some distance off into space? Would it dissipate or just hang out there, ready to poison us at some later date? Thanks for any answers! [link] [comments]  |
| Has there ever been a pair of contradicting unsolved maths problems? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 08:46 AM PST i.e. A pair of unsolved conjectures such that proving one of them would automatically disprove the other. [link] [comments]  |
| Mauna Loa not erupted since 1984; Kilauea has been erupting since 1983. Is it just a coincidence? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 10:54 AM PST Going by Wiki article on Mauna Loa, it's currently in unusually long period of inactivity, while Kilauea is in unusually long period of activity. Are the two connected, or is that just a coincidence? [link] [comments]  |

| Why doesn't water rise and compress the air in an upside-down cup lowered into water? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 11:31 AM PST I just put a cup upside down in a pool of water but every bit inside of it was dry afterwards. I thought the air would get heavily compressed by the water, but why doesn't it? [link] [comments]  |

| How effective would a stirling engine that is orbiting the sun be? Posted: 31 Dec 2016 11:12 AM PST I remember hearing somewhere that in space its super hot in the light of the sun and super cold in shadow. Is it reasonable that you could have a stirling engine orbiting the sun, with one plate casting a shadow on the second plate of the engine to produce a massive temperature difference between the two plates?
