Commingling (in this context) doesn't necessarily mean that the products are literally sitting in the same bin as the same product from another seller. Each seller's items could be kept in separate bins if put in the same warehou

Them looking at your accounts is more about income than expenses. They want to see how much money you're making and that it is recurring. They don't want to give you a loan based on you having $x and then find out the only reason

Some people would, yes. Especially rudimentary single shot weapons. However, its much harder to make a reliable gun than it is to make reliable tough encryption. There are designs available for both and there always will be, illegal or n

Its pretty easy to enforce if the disputes are between two parties that are at all Earth based. There will be a significant period of permanent habitation before there is self sustaining habitation. And you really cant afford to tell eart

So it would work! Thanks for the analysis.

Yeah that was my thinking. And I didn't have a basis for thinking it could get there in the first place which is why I asked the initial question. I didn't realize just how high the delta v requirements were for Saturn.

Maybe answering my own question with some further thought. I guess even if it could get there, it likely couldnt return which would be a big waste of a reusable starship.

Even spaceX's starship/BFR with LEO refuel wouldn't work?

Why is that unreasonable? Its quite like going to get gas from a gas station. It just takes a while longer. You don't let the car run to empty before you fill it back up. Easy enough fix for your first issue. And for the second, yo

What "false positive rate" is acceptable to you? And shouldn't we refer to it for what it is: a "innocent people murdered by the state rate"? For me personally, 0 is the only acceptable number. The only way to get

Because the capital owners have externalized the cost of transportation to work onto labor. They don't pay you to sit in traffic so they don't care how efficient it is.

I'm not taking any whips at all on static rope. That's just dumb. But I guess you mean what kind of falls am I taking on dynamic rope that I wouldn't want to take on static rope? Its not about distance, its about fall facto

by QuotedForTruth 7y ago
Really? You'd be comfortable whipping in a swiss seat tied to a hemp rope (not dynamic) and stopped by a body belay? I don't think so. A clean fall onto a static rope can kill you from the sudden stop alone. There is a reason t

There are several levels of "Full Flight Simulators" [1] defined by the FAA: "There are currently four levels of full flight simulator, levels A - D, level D being the highest standard and being eligible for zero flight time

Very interesting example! Another might be in Formula 1 racing. Certain driver's (Senna [1]) have been known to force passes by putting the other driver into a no-win situation. The passing driver might dive to the inside of a turn w

Did you make a bad deal if the other party reneges? If you pay someone for something and they don't deliver was that you making a bad deal? No way! The weaker/winning rider offered the deal. It was mutually beneficial. If they

I think you have the riders confused. The rider going for the overall win (general classification or GC rider) would be the one agreeing to not go for the stage. He may be the stronger rider with a 90% chance to win the stage in an all ou

by QuotedForTruth 7y ago
I realize you already know this, but just to add to what you've said... It also makes a lot more sense in stage races. The win for the day's stage is not the only win to be had. The overall race win is based on combined time acr

Healthcare is not pizza. The top level comment gave a perfect example why. Preventative care is cheaper than emergency care. When everyone (including the unemployed) can get preventative care, total costs go down. That unemployed person w

That is true. A free hanging belay would not be very useful! I did find some discussion on mountain project about it in the context of rescuing an incapacitated climber.

Barring injury, you wouldnt be hanging in free space for very long. I didn't realize that would make such a difference. After my comment I did some more searching and found plenty of discussion of harness hang syndrome in the context

Its interesting to me as a rock climber that I've never heard of this. Its not unusual for someone to hang in their harness at an anchor for quite a while while their partner is climbing the pitch before and after. Are climbing harne

Probably not with random noise. With random noise there is literally no connection between pixels. With any actual picture there are connections. Like for instance a pixel is more likely to be the value of its neighbor or nearly so than

They may have changed approaches since this two year old TED talk was made.

This is ensuring that the model is not over trained. They also showed that when they fed in simulated sparse measurements based on real full images of generic things, they got back fuzzy versions of the real image. [1] So if you put in a s

Disclaimer: this is based on watching the talk and some basic machine learning knowledge. Im no expert. They have a sparse set of data that is part of an image. They have trained a model to look at the sparse set and make an educated gues

Wow. Thats a pretty parallel path. Thanks for replying. I thought about doing an MS but didn't feel qualified since I hadn't covered much in undergrad and it was so long ago. I've thought about switching now that I'v
