You would need to drink over 4 gallons of fortified milk per day to get the recommended 8000 IU. Milk just isn't fortified enough, because the current daily recommendations are so low.

Why not buy out a local dump and run it "cheaper" then, under the existing contracts?

This isn't even a case of putting commerce first. We're hurting commerce here too.

The waxworms in the article eat polyethylene. Common meal worms are capable of eating another plastic, polystyrene -- you can observe this yourself by just grabbing some from a pet store and putting them in a styrofoam container for a few

Erik's argument seems to be: - It's not erupting within our lifetimes - If it were showing signs of actively erupting soon, it would take infeasible amounts of drilling and cooling to prevent - Therefore, we should make contingenc

The people I know who never got a CS education yet ended up programming got their break interviewing at Google. Google seems more comparatively willing to hire those without degrees since there's so much confidence in the interview pr

I've long wanted to mak an "always possible" variant of minesweeper. This is equivalent to only presenting the player with a board that a "perfect" algorithm can solve.

We surely would. But the gains may be more (or less) than you think. I remember a gerontologist showing some math where if you prevented all heart disease you'd only gain about 4 years of human lifespan (since most of those people wou

Cost plus percentage gives a very clear incentive to raise costs; that's the only way you can get more profit. If it's so widespread that might be one reason why all our infrastructure is so much more expensive. Why not just have

Also, if you can turn off your body cam (or fail to turn it on), then you are free to behave however you want as though you weren't on camera.

I once considered writing an EC2 autoscaler that knew the exact timestamps of the instances so that it could avoid shutting down VMs that still had 59 minutes of "free" time left because they'd been up across another hour-lon

There should be a way to pull energy out of it without risking releasing the current pressure. The hot solid rocks above are pretty good at transferring heat, and you only need to drill part of the way into them. A very small hole can mov

The article says that we don't want to drill in the national park itself, which is too close to the magma chamber and might trigger an eruption. Instead it says we should extract the heat along the periphery, well outside the park&#x2

The most reasonable thing to do would have been to give it to the EFF, who actually fought the battle Adam was raising money for. It may be too late for that now, or maybe not.

On what basis do you think his odds of death on a given climb are less than 0.01%?

Not even that. Your right to enter the country, as a US citizen, is "Absolute, Unconditional, and Irrevocable."

Right. Which is why when they do die from preventable causes it has such a large impact on average lifespan. If we want more humans alive for longer we should not ignore these high impact relatively low frequency dangers. If you're u

A more complete analysis of death rates compares the cause of death vs the otherwise expected lifespan of the person. Cancer and heart disease are major killers, but they primarily affect old unhealthy people. Car crashes and suicides are

Happy people don't focus on earning more money for exactly the same reason - they already have enough to not worry about their base needs.

This shouldn't be too surprising, as caffeine itself has a flavor. It is somewhat bitter, which is one reason why it's particularly common in root beer.

And why is there a single point of failure? Because there is a hard cap on imports. No cap -> no shortage, just as much as no typhoon -> no shortage.

They don't have any reason to actually care. How does bad publicity hurt them?

If half of all patents are known to be bogus then yeah, that'd be a fine deal.

For healthy normal people, when you travel your circadian rhythms reset your body's internal clock and sleeping schedule based mostly on sunlight exposure. It takes between a few days and a week to adjust (this is exactly jet lag). Th

And if you incorporated your ebay business, it would likely pay very little in taxes too. But then you'd take the same income as wages and pay the same income taxes you did before you had a legal title on your business.
