I agree with the link that it really depends on what you mean by FTL. At first glance refrigerators seem impossible because they would reverse entropy. The key is that it does not practically matter if they do or not,…
I am personally excited about tidal as it is almost completely predictable. The wind may die down and clouds may block the sun, but the tide always comes in on schedule.
As a mechanical engineer who has worked with software engineers on projects, I believe that the nature of the job can cause us to be more blunt than most. When the guys in the shop weld something poorly they don't get…
I agree that the type of content is important. I personally experience reading as similar to a campfire story, hearing someone else describe a situation. My brain just isn't good at filling in the details of a scene. I…
Yeah, it's a bit sensationalist. By that logic you could argue that writing on a piece of paper is 4-D: horizontal and vertical position, what letter/symbol is there, and color. You could add font and underlines/italics…
When I was a research assistant in college in the US, we had an Iranian student apply to work with us several times, even after we told him no the first time. We were researching the properties of yellow cake uranium…
I can see the job description now: "75+ years of relevant experience required." At the same time, allowing the Einsteins of society to continue their work indefinitely would provide a net increase in the rate of…
My understanding is that tools are things used as a way to achieve an objective. Nests would BE the objective, aka shelter. Thus, an ant hill would not be considered a tool.
Really? I'm in the USA hear and I have sealants, but have never noticed any difference in feel compared to before (I had them applied in my teens). It sounds like yours were put on REALLY thick. Mine were only put into…
As someone who lives near Phoenix Arizona, I can see that at least out here it seems to be a result of the fact that the city only really came into existence fairly recently. Compared to much older places like London,…
Not the person you are replying to, but I think they are referencing how SEGA ditched home consoles and is now all software and arcades. From what I have heard they are doing extremely well with arcade machines,…
Kind of, but also "hovering" nearby to prevent every scraped knee and to step in whenever the child faces any difficulty.
Agreed, reputation is critical for a terrorist organization, just like how gang members brag about how "hardcore" they are because the shot someone.
I agree completely. Without knowing the spring constant it is tough to say. Although, if they could increase it using thicker tubes it could have applications as shock absorbers in landing gear. I would not be too…
So would a decent formula for drugs A and B be: rAdiff x rBdiff x rshared = r% where the rA/Bdiff is the chance of resisting the unique parts of A and B and rshared is the chance of resisting what is shared between them?
In the US, any adult male who wants to be an elementary school teacher is looked at as a potential predator. Parents will literally ask to have their kids transferred to a different class because of it.
Agreed, but if you REALLY wanted to be sure, you could always put a large sheet of aluminum just above the bottom layer.
As someone who grew up in Florida, I would never want to live live anywhere near the beach, and frankly, I never had much sympathy for those who lost their beachfront houses to hurricanes, especially when they rebuilt…
It's definitely very important to realize that Spanish-speaking countries, while nominally speaking the same language, are very different. Spain has an entire verb tense that is not in Mexican Spanish. And unconfirmed…
I would think next would be including general reletivity in miles per gallon calculations on cars, or adding the mass gained from moving at highway speeds when finding desired tire pressure. It's always fun to throw…
The main one I have heard is empathy, but also a drop in selflessness (as in valuing your own discomfort over the potential life inside of you), and commitment (I have heard it linked multiple times to be increase in…
My roommates in college were in ROTC and they were always looking for things to fill that gap. I don't think they ever broke anything, but if I remember correctly they managed to get a popcorn machine.
Not only was it the side of the prison, but students were actually TAUGHT in a former prison for a while in 1910 until a school could be built.
I'm not the person you're asking, but I certainly think so. The strategy of: 1 identify a problem with existing products (try to make the audience go "oh yeah, I hate that"). 2 explaining how your product solves this…
People need to realize that intellectual-property not a right, it is an exception to the right of freedom of speech. Too many people in power seem to have forgotten/chosen to ignore that.
