These discussions quickly devolve into political mudslinging , I wish there was way to filter out such posts.

Can systemd dynamically load new kernels at this point?

Just something I noticed [there is a plate near the doors], cars were built in 1984 and refurbished by Alstom few years ago.

I am really curious to know how rust is a byproduct of biological action, could you elaborate?

If you set aside the security concerns for a moment, this is a great way to make the first impression.

You are right, I misread the document. I stand corrected.

Yes I agree, from the object's frame of reference no time passes.

I looked up after your reply, they decay by losing energy based on the matter they interact with. So in the vacuum of space they can travel great distances as long as they don't interact with the matter. Source: https://cosm

Genuinely curious as to why you think they haven't aged a single day. Doesn't it depend on the point of reference? Earth is 500 light seconds from the Sun. So any photon hitting the eye is at least 500 seconds old. Hypothetically

Convenient perhaps, but the engineer in me doesn't want to accept that. Light is the fastest thing in the universe and it takes 642 years to reach us from this particular star. So we are lagging by 642 years. Those are the facts.

May be it's gone supernova already.

I recently went as far as setting up Bigtop on a VM to build the Deb packages, I gave up after 2 days. I would rather suffer through 2 root canal procedures back to back without anesthesia.

In this documentary he had said "I think it is possible" after failing to break the 2 hours. Highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVPeK39lNp8

3 months in and the touch bar stopped working, it just doesn't light up. It's a work laptop so it is going for a replacement, backing up my data as I type this. Also, some keys double type :( Perfect my ass. PS: I know you are bei

So if I am understanding this correctly, lower threshold (in terms of mass) for a star to become a black hole is lower than what was earlier thought?

Agreed, we should have a more pragmatic approach while staying invested in Thorium reactor research.
78.
by 0xFFFE 7y ago
Valid point. For the same generating capacity, water consumption should be similar assuming same location. But a nuclear power plant has different site selection criteria than other plants.

by 0xFFFE 7y ago
If only we can get an efficient & cost effective Thorium reactor working, most of the coal plants can be shutdown much sooner. Going by publicly available data, we are no where near a working prototype.

India has an ambitious goal of generating 175GW from renewable sources by 2022. There are various solar power plants coming up all over the country. Source: https://www.niti.gov.in/reports [Line item 6] PS: NITI is the apex

Please do. If you are visiting Bangalore, the Karnataka state(of which Bangalore is the capital) has second largest number of tigers in the country, and there are multiple tiger reserves within 100-150 Mile radius of the city. I highly rec

I had accompanied a wildlife photographer friend of mine along with a forest guard. There was a large crevice separating us and the den. Prior permission is required from the authorities and they are very strict about handing them out and a

Good find. I was looking for this article on STR (Sariska). It's indeed unfortunate what had happened in Sariska, but I am glad corrective measures were taken.

Tigers unlike Lions are solitary animals, so these numbers are impressive +/- 10%. My home state has one of the largest numbers and I was fortunate to see a Tigress with fresh kill and couple of cubs. Truly majestic beasts these are.

question is, why should anyone do it after having paid truck load of money for a supposedly a cutting edge laptop.
