I only read the abstract, but from that I gather that the paper points out the (rather obvious) fact that the classic Drake equation ignores uncertainty, and that when you put realistic uncertainty bounds on the parameters, the total uncert

Boeing drones are things like the MQ-25 [0]. They don't compete with DJI. I'm a researcher (US government contractor) in the aerospace field, and they've been trying to ban us from using DJI drones for years. They keep pushin

I don't user a terminal-based editor very often, but my vim syntax highlighting uses the basic 16 colors and it works just fine for me. Personally I think a lot of syntax highlighting is noise anyway. But again, I don't really hav

It's both. The forest management issues mean there are more fires. Climate change means those fires tend to burn hotter and faster.

Not OP, and not constrained by any accessibility needs, but restricting your terminal applications to (1) sounds entirely reasonable to me. At the very least, (2) and (3) should be entirely opt-in, never defaults.

10x is excessive, but I'd also watch closely the relationship between estimates and actual time taken. My estimates are probably 2-3x longer than they where when I first started out because I realized that I was consistently underestim

Is that a real thing? You can buy raisin bread at any grocery store... I've never even heard of chocolate chip bread.

Interesting. I've never seen anything like that in the Northwestern US.

Do I not understand what "voting rights" means in this context? Doesn't this leave the door open for a CEO to retain 95% of voting stock, when all they need to maintain control is 50% + 1 share?

Fun fact, this comment is the first result and only result containing all terms when Googling "UPU S1 standard". The closest relevant looking result I was able to find was the "UPU S10 standard", which doesn't seem

I too would love to read more about this. It sounds like a great general purpose solution. Are there any mandatory parts? Assuming not, how does sorting work? Was it a matter of sort orders being pre-programmed for more common fields (e.g.

I think the serious disconnect is in user expectations. Developers of paid produces should be responsive to user feedback. Developers of open source software are free (legally, ethically and morally) to care or not about user feedback exact

I don't really know if a chargeback would work here, but the basis would be "I agreed to pay X and LinkedIn charged me Y", not "LinkedIn did not deliver the services advertised".

I think GP means that the stock is worth 113x what it was a year ago, although that seems to be off by a factor of ~10 for Tesla.

I think Instagram is actually helping this from the other direction. My brain processes the two Jeep pictures as real but with a heavy-handed Instagram filter applied.

I think GP is confusing things a bit. Starlink can actually be faster, but it's because laser links in a vacuum are on the order of 1/3 faster than terrestrial fiber optics. The distance is longer, but the information travels fast

To be perfectly honest, I don't actually have a strong recollection of how much charging for checked bags changed things. In any case though, it's universally my observation that (in the pre-COVID world anyway) there's far to

It's not about the money, it's about the annoyance of having to check a bag when you don't need to.

Interesting perspective. As a native Californian I couldn't disagree more. In 33 years of living in California, the number of times I've actually spent any significant time thinking about earthquakes is very close to 0. I lived in

Ever since airlines started charging for checked bags, there's a significant incentive to board early no matter your seating, since the overhead bins universally fill up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way into boarding.

Funny. I wonder when this (perception?) shift occurred. 15 years ago, it was distinctly the perception that Mac users were the tech-illiterate ones. Have all the tech-illiterate users abandoned Apple, or have they just been drowned out by t
