Creating a company is easy. Staying on top of taxation/regulatory filings is more difficult.

The patient wouldn't die, but the surgeon would have punched a hole in the abdominal cavity on the wrong side. That would create a new wound, but wouldn't fix the initial life-threatening problem. So then, he'd have to punch

Great EH&S people are amazing. At the root of researchers' reactions to EH&S are two things: 1) EH&S will frequently be the source of unfunded and unresourced mandates. "You must stop your research until you've p

If you do this, the enemy's nuclear-weapons services will look in the playbook under "what to do if someone kills the government", see, "launch everything as a counterattack", and press the button. A key advantage o

I don't think they're presently operating the antiproton source, but for decades one could get them at Fermilab, too. https://www.fnal.gov/pub/tevatron/tevatron-operation.html

It is much more difficult to produce antiprotons than muons. Furthermore, my guess is that the proton-antiproton annihilation rate is much faster than the rate of antiproton-catalyzed fusion. Muon catalysis doesn't have the annihilatio

It isn't obvious that deglobalizing is good for national security. The imposition of sanctions is allowing NATO to counter Russia without firing a shot. A world in which we're able to work out our problems without shooting at one

I disagree strongly with the author's pull-quote that "We know nothing more than Bohr, Einstein, Schrödinger, and Heisenberg." There has been roughly a century worth of experiments since the quantum theory came into being.

NATO already has been supplying advanced man-portable missiles, artillery, intelligence, firearms/machine-guns of all kinds, communications equipment, night-vision systems, etc. From that angle, an aircraft is only a small step upward.

If Russia takes Ukraine, then Russian forces will directly adjoin the Polish border. It makes sense to attempt to reduce the pretext for any invasion of, or retribution on, Polish soil. If the Americans give the Ukrainians jets and Russia h

You can see munitions impacts about 2 hr ago as well as somewhat later (will edit in a moment). Flares ~1:36 ago. These timestamps relative to ~1715 PST.

If the two images are made with the same distance between subject and camera, then yes.

It may help to know that it isn't easy to do. Two things that might help your images say what you'd like them to say: 1) For depth, try making images that have a "foreground, middle-ground, and background". The 24-28mm-e

Perspective is a huge challenge in photography, in some respects a central challenge. Here's [1] an image, made with a rectilinear lens, which manages to convey oodles of depth and structure. It is difficult to overstate how challengi

I'm not sure that I'd call it a TikTok war, but rather the first major-power smartphone war. The world will bear witness to the consequences of this conflict in ways it never has before. It is no longer up to the editors of major

Yes, but to my knowledge nobody has found a trusted solution. My guess is the best we can do is keychains of trust and the reputation that comes with them. Trustless authentication seems very difficult indeed.

Agreed. Major pain point for me. Can't reshuffle image order, either.

This answer sounds flippant, but it is not: Practice. A lot of clever people have worked very hard for a long time. At the end of the day, though, colliders get two beams as focused as they can in space and time, point them at each other, a
