The football (soccer) equivalent is someone kicking the ball out of play so that the game is stopped to allow medical attention to come on, and once the medical attention is over, the opposition taking the throw in…
Yes. This isn't for dynamic events.
When you write off a car, you don't get the value of a new car, you get the value of the car at the point of time it was written off. So if you write a 3 year old car, you get the value of a 3 year old second hand car.…
NASA is a government agency and as a government agency it is used as a vehicle to implement the general purpose of the government. To put a different example of the point. If the cheapest way to launch items into space…
Another note worth considering is that state and companies have different roles. Take NASA vs SpaceX. SpaceX launches cheaper rockets. But NASA for example does alot of its work in Alabama, which is supporting a poor…
Comparing private schools and state schools is far from easy without going really deep into the subject. Superfically comparing grades without taking into account the self-selecting nature of private education vs state…
If India buys a widget off Brazil it will probably be paid in dollars. Therefore, people need to own dollars. Thus a demand for US debt. This lowers the potential interest rate. Other countries who's currency is not a…
If there is a finite amount of software to be written in the world, and an increase in productivity of developers than that amount of software is done with less people. Also, if AI allows an non-software person say an…
If AI makes a programmer say 25% more productive. Then a team of 4 can do the workload of a team of 5.
Interesting signalling. From a Europhile to a Trump supporter, where Meta feel the regulatory head winds will come from.
Interesting reading the actual report. How strongly Ireland and England preform in Maths vs the Scandinavian countries
I'm Irish and the later is more correct. There isn't going to be a major political crisis over this. Irish corporate taxation is to the Irish electorate what the flag is to Americans. It's quasi religious. The…

Nuclear being illegal in Ireland doesn't help.
I find this debate a bit odd. Climate change is a global issue. So moving these emissions out of Ireland so Ireland can reach it's targets doesn't help if those emissions mearly happen elsewhere in the world. In…
This is quite hard to do safely. Generating air breakdown with IR femto requires a reasonable amount of fluence. They are probably using galvo scanners to shift the beam in xy, but to get the required intensity they…
Or just American Handball
Diamond with nitrogen valance centers are used as fluorescent markers. If a current passes close they change their emission spectrum. Some workon this as a method to measure neurons firing. So maybe that use case…
Proper laser goggles come with ratings. Dependent on the laser wavelength, beamsize, energy/power and pulse duration. Most goggle suppliers will tell you what you need if you supply the laser specs.
Even pension funds can't think on that length of time. Really only institutions like university can. Lots of Oxford colleges are known to look at these time scales. It has been around for As someone said Harvard will…
During COVID in UK alot of grades were given by teacher assessment not by an exam. There was grade inflation. For one reason I didn't see was, people mess up exams, run out of time, spend too much time on an answer,…
The do alright. Never thought to asked them although their collection is mostly brass this one's mostly plywood.
Used to work in the Oxford lab that developed some of the earliest confocal microscopes. I had one of the early Oxford instruments mentioned under my table. Always wondered why it didn't find it's way to a museum.…
Lovely idea of a list. But not definitive. My village song also talks of leaving in the morning. Leaving Ireland was the natural state for 150 years.
You do however spend probably 8 hrs working on it, read hackernews on latest tech, probably better than you were 5 years ago. Now imagine your marketing department saying they went to a computer summer camp once in the…
