An engineer designs right to failure, and then multiplies the numbers required till he feels safe.

This is exactly how the game Seventh Continent works, its just a collection of 1000 cards and if you have a symbol then you sometimes draw a different card for if you have key items.

40 mils ~ 1 mm 1000 mils / 25.4 mm = 39.3 This simple fact still seems wrong to me somehow.

Issue with flywheels tends to be containment when they explode, flashing a MWh of metal due to containment failure I would hope to be safer. Additionally a superconductor wouldnt have gyroscopic forces to worry about.

Same, possibly by taking 3d models and flattening them or something. Paper is interesting none the less.

There are other factors here though, if they have a nice watch and freshly pressed suit I see them as that they are putting their money to where they see value. A car to them is just a pay to get to a place.

Its not even that I study with other people, it's the "what is he going on about" while in class that I miss the most. I am expecting to drop a full letter grade this semester from my average just from being online.

Most gatcha want about a hour of your time to two hours a day, you can extend that to about 3-5 hours with energy packs which you can stock up on. Most free to play gatcha players also play more than one gatcha game. Personally I play F:GO

As someone who has been really hooked into gatcha (I counted 9 hours yesterday) this is honestly true. It's very personally rewarding as compared to Twitter (if a massive time waste).

If I lived in a 1100 ft apartment and had to work out of it every day I would legitimately probably never leave my apartment for anything other than food. It would drive me mad, and I would probably quit to work somewhere else.

The only rebuttal to this that has been effective to a class is: if you see it at the day you ignore the time expecting it to be at 11:59PM. If I put it at 7 AM (to give you the whole night) the next day then you think it will be due at the

I anecdotally have experienced exactly zero service interuptions while using various VPS providers around eastern and western europe while accessing websites. If you avoid the big name providers they dont seem to block you.

I would love to see a carbon analysis on the CO2 from the LED lighting vs the CO2 from freight transport of food.

The thing about that is all the energy from a star is still being radiated, just in infared. So if this was true a IR telescope should see a star like object with no visible light but a large amount of infared emitted.

What is strange about these images is that i can't interpret them as real. I have seen so much scifi stuff like this that i just assume it can't possibly be real.

The issue is not that we all face a catastrophic cataclysm but that climate change makes the earth significantly less amenable to us. Cropland destruction, lack of drinking water and relocation of population centers due to changing coastlin

Considering that the yield strength of a lot of steels is at or below 600 MPa I wonder what these machines are made out of. If you wanted to make one yourself a 50 ton hydraulic press would generate the pressure needed but the seals that yo

If anyone wants to learn more about "non shiny futures" then I highly recommend Issac Author. He explains al of the crazy scifi stuff in very available language and really demonstrates this kind of thinking. His YouTube channel:

Am I missing something here? There is no article just a download link correct? I use Firefox exclusively because of the sidebar tab extension and will probably use it until Firefox dies a slow death.

This is a good counter-argument with some evidence that China and India are not the toxic hell hole that sometimes pops up in media. The thing that isn't mentioned in the article and is in the paper is that the majority >80% of the

I think that in terms of what you are talking about bitrot is good. People should have their stuff deleted after a while but there is a sense of permanentness in internet culture and that should change to one of fleetingness which more bitr

Anything outside of telecommunications or earth observation. Human spaceflight is a different can of worms with the additional dilemma of that no large hardware failures can occur. Rockets fail a lot, people dying is bad for PR, and thus yo

My common response is that there are real world costs to having too much stuff, data is pretty small to keep around. You can fit a RAID 5 box with 30 TB of space in a shoebox for $15/month, that is enough to keep pretty much any conten

I think the main thing I always see with posts like these are that they always say what could be done but with no plan or process to do any of it. The problem with microbots seems to be a similar problem to spaceflight currently: we can mak
