Makes sense - it's not incomplete combustion but rather atmospheric contamination that allows for NOx products, and the amount of those is dependent on heat of combustion. Thanks!
242.
by Cogito 7y ago
Sorry, why do you think that? More complete combustion would result in more CO2, H2O, and energy. The by products from incomplete combustion are the ones we want to limit - CO, C, various N and S compounds etc.

It's hard to explain without calling out to Kerbal Space Program, but it's really hard to figure out what you mean by 'able to relocate' in the context of orbital flight. Your orbital period is determined by size of your

The novelty is the application, at the price point, tested against a specification. Given that this is an invention/design, seems like a completely respectable piece of work that is not at all redundant (which is the implication I read

Fair enough, I guess it doesn't really come across like that. The author takes contributions, so they'd probably welcome a pull request on the README that introduced that kind of language. I have no idea if they'd merge it or

The specific point is that we are using linear averages (over large collections of objects, such as galaxies) to model a non-linear effects (General Relativity interactions between individual objects). It may be accurate to use those averag

Based on my very limited knowledge, there is no way to calculate these equations exactly for the entire universe, the way they are currently formulated. Perhaps more importantly, we don't even have complete information, but only measur

There has probably been a lot of thought into problems like this, and it would be interesting to hear any real solutions used. My addition would be to pre-calculate a checksum for the encrypted blob, and only send the decryption key after r

I agree, trying to generalise anything based on 1 data point is going to be fraught with danger of hastiness. Having never found a straw in my garden my intuition is that (not finding straws in every garden) is more likely than (finding s

Surely just record the last shot parameters? or even all shot parameters? As long as the simulation is deterministic you'll be good to go. Given a level and a list of velocities any sequence of shots should be reproducible.

In some strict sense that may be true, but in this discussion I think it is reasonable to read 'Content ID' as including YouTube's copyright strike system, demonetisation, and re-assignment of ad revenue to the claimed copyri

The privatised gain is that a content producer who was previously licensing their content to a streaming service, and starts their own streaming service, makes more money streaming than by licensing. The socialised loss is that fragmentatio

Apart from giving a better negotiation position, viewership numbers tell you what people want to watch. If you (think you) know what people want to watch it becomes easy to cheaply produce new content guaranteed to sell. This is almost cert

YouTube take downs are usually done without DMCA, right? Are you saying that the DMCA is explicitly being invoked by Nintendo and others, or are you talking more generally and including, for example, YouTube's Content ID system?
