Because you can use dummy warheads, chaff, and other means to lower the efficacy of the interceptor, and you only need a small percentage of your payload to make it through. The defense meanwhile, must be perfect . Missile defense using in

HN has a echo problem, most people on this site lean in a single political direction, and share a singular political view, that of the Silicon Valley left. I’m neither in SV, nor am I enough of dove to be “Left” in any reasonable measure.

Approximately 9.6 per 100,000 alcohol related deaths in the US per year, and approximately 14.3 per 100,000 per year in the UK circa 2014. This fits with WHO data from 2003-2005 showing that Americans on average consumed between 7.5-9.9 lit

It feels like you’re strongly supporting his closing point: the ideas are successful with groups because they're impractical and dumb. It's about exhibiting group fealty. I'm so devoted, I'll say things that any non-mem

Given rates of alcoholism and alcohol related disease and injury in the UK, I’d say that’s not working.

Counterpoint: when you ignore Musk’s Twitter tirades about shorts, and his uberfans’ subsequent aping of those tirades a simple truth remains: Tesla is one of the most overvalued stocks in history, and far from being mustache-twirling villa

Do you have a link? It sounds like it could be both interesting and amusing.

You are correct sir or madam! I’m leaving it though, I like the sound of it.

Well, that was a butter clenching read. It’s not hard to understand why their chip designers bailed as soon as possible, and they seemed to perpetually bleed technical talent. Is this a matter of incompetence or the usual anything-to-win “m

Productive or not, here’s the reference you can use the next time this comes up. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17815396 It does in fact completely validate your position, although I guess you know that.

Presumably this would be done with a small nuclear reactor powering an electrolysis system, in which case it’s feasible. Your savings are in complexity and weight because containing a mass of water is trivial, and naturally dense compared t

I wasn’t talking about lacking domain expertise in a given area, I think obviously. I’m talking about something much broader and universal, but I’m still sorry for causing you offense, that wasn’t intended.

On one hand I agree with the “broken by nature” argument, I really do. To me, it’s a strong argument for cutting down our criminal code and not jailing people over drugs, sex, and fines. I still want rapists and killers and inveterate thiev

On a dispassionate level there is a sense that the country is still in its eternal war on terrorism, and sacrifices must be made. By powerless, generally poor and marginal people of course. Poor kids need to enlist and die in a dessert, poo

I do the same thing, and if I’m craving something sweeter I just add a small shot of simple syrup, which is incredibly easy and cheap to make. As a bonus it tastes much better than corn syrupy crap.

RAID for DNA is a really good, intuitive analogy, thanks!

by GW150914 8y ago
It’s not exact, and depends a lot on conditions, but the half life of DNA is reportedly around 521 years. Maybe if it was frozen that would slow down considerably, but in this case I’d guess were at least 98 million years too late.

Cheese like haloumi and feta are very low in fat, and not necessarily more than a garnish in most cases. For another animal product I’d add yogurt, but you also missed the big plant staples. Lots of pulses like beans and lentils, lots of nu
