It's a big problem in old airplanes too. I've known a few pilots who found out their nav lights (on the wingtips) weren't working anymore because a mouse got inside the wing.

I once walked into a hospital that had a prop 65 warning on the door.

This is just my opinion but I believe it's because the syntax tree is the syntax. In a Lisp macro you are working with lists, just like you are for any other Lisp code. Almost every other language I've used (I've been progr

This reminds me of a (probably apocryphal) story about fast food chains that made the rounds decades ago: McDonald's invests tons of time into finding the best real estate for new stores; Burger King just opens stores near McDonalds!

My HP RPN calculator only has four positions available in its stack, which I imagine makes the implementation a bit simpler than a stack of arbitrary size.

Beefed it the day after New Glenn makes orbit on the first try. Different philosophies, I know, but if I were at SpaceX I would be pretty unhappy right now.

Can't speak for Blue but SpaceX felt like an aerospace company, and Musk had next to nothing to do with my day-to-day there.

Have you got a better theory that fits all available data and has predictive power?

The downvotes are because people are reading the question as rhetorical rather than being asked out of genuine curiosity. It's only a good question if the person asking it is doing so with an open mind. (That and the article answers th

The whole thing is bad. We're chimpanzees chained to desks and they're trying to figure out if it's the chair that's killing us.

The rule isn't an FAA rule, it's FCC. The issue is about the cell networks, not the aircraft.

Judgment based on what? The five-second interaction we have while they're doing twenty other things thirty feet away?

The FDA rule doesn't restrict the IDs but the phrase "that is considered acceptable by the seller" lets the pharmacy put any restrictions in place they want. They can tell you it has to be hot pink and glow-in-the-dark and yo

Yes. Now define "misinformation." (Good luck.) And how do you feel about the government getting to decide what that definition is?

You seem to be under the impression that this generation of courts holds itself to a set of principles, rather than just motivated reasoning to do whatever they want. There will be no consistency. The Chevron decision will matter when they

If there's anything we've learned over the last decade, it's "look at what they do, not what they say." People's stated principles mean nothing.

You may be interested in reading Wittgenstein on trying to define what a "game" is. In short he found that there are no conditions necessary or sufficient to make something a game. Nevertheless, games exist. https://e

Water vapor, which contributes between 41% and 67% of the Earth's greenhouse effect, has been part of the atmosphere since Earth first formed. Liquid water - clouds - contributes between 25% and 31%, and has likewise been part of the a

If you're talking about Effexor - famous for wicked brain zaps after only one missed dose - this could have more to do with its very short half life.

It only requires cellular because that's how Mazda designed it. Plenty of remote start systems have been built without requiring cellular.

As much as I think I'd love to be able to write traffic tickets during my commutes, I don't think anyone wants to live in a world where everyone is a cop. I think you'll find too that a lot of people think laws are for other

This has nothing to do with the general legality of banning non-competes. It's about whether the FTC has the authority to do so.

This isn't really possible on a project like this. There are just too many specialties, and you need folks who have deep expertise in each one. Just off the top of my head there's structures, mechanisms, fluids, propulsion, avioni

Escape velocity varies with distance from the center of mass. Is the distance in that paper comparable to the distance of the discovered object?

I would happily pay for the BBC but they don't want my money. The problem isn't that people won't pay for news. It's that we won't pay for "news."
