300 deaths seems like a very insignificant figure to be worked up over.
My experience has been as an enrolled PhD student in the US, so my thoughts may not completely apply. I would just go talk to the professor teaching the class if you do not care about any documents saying you took the…
Warm Dense Matter can be thought of as ionized jello.
I think you have pretty much proved his point. >I realise it's hard for FOSS advocates to understand this, because it's a fundamental flaw with the FOSS philosophy. The benefits are "obvious" to crusaders, but the…
Do you want him to save and pay for college himself? If so, a livable wage doesn't seem too crazy with (US) college tuition.
>The immense engineering challenge here is to heat plasma to ridiculous temperatures, and keep it confined in a very small volume at great temperature and pressure to mimic conditions that give rise to nuclear fusion in…
I think it is more that candidates (especially well qualified ones) view the interview process as a two way street. The company is probing you for competence/fit for the position and the candidate is probing the company…
I think that this covers the general situation pretty well. I would also consider who you want your audience to be and the scope. If it is something that you want a non-expert to read, consider a blog post. On the other…
I am curious if anyone has advice/tips for getting a simple portfolio up and running. I am a physics phd student who has worked on a few side projects that I would like to showcase. I am looking into Jekyll and hosting…
Exactly this. Also different journals act as a weak filter for impact of the research.
I don't think it is that unusual for grad students to research a try during PhD, decide it is not for them, and then move onto other things afterwards. This is from a physics grad school perspective though.
This seems pretty interesting and useful! It does seem like the pricing structure does not incentivize people actually getting jobs though. With a small pool of people (people looking for top finance jobs) it seems like…

It would be helpful to link the study. Without seeing the paper, I would be cautious of separating the paper and conclusions it draws from a possible news article that has extrapolated or expanded the conclusion…
I somewhat disagree. Academic journal papers are meant to be digested by experts in that topic, not the general population. It seems necessary to have a filter on registration to ensure that the platform is useful to…
While this is true, I would imagine that sales figures affect the future of devs at the game studios (layoffs, new projects, etc).
They might have the same macbook pro, but it might not be a dedicated email/youtube machine.
I think this is certainly true. Research papers are typically written so that a person with training in the field can understand and replicate the work. Note that the general population is not the intended audience.…
There are definitely petawatt class lasers currently (ex. the Texas petawatt). I think most are of order 100 fs.

It is not for producing nuclear material, but for reproducing conditions relevant to weapons (although HBE itself may not be useful).
I have spotty wifi right now and can't read the actual paper at the moment (mainly a comment to remind myself to read this later). Quick thoughts from just reading the abstract: - There are very few facilities that do…
>I understand that healthcare is more expensive than food for all those reasons. What I don't understand is why there can't be a market for it. Expensive services can have markets too. At the moment the only thing I can…
I think it is still an open (and hotly debated) question on if planets need magnetospheres to retain an atmosphere.
