SN12 was scrapped and SN13 and SN14 were never built, to allow for SN15, the new design, to jump the queue. SN11 is next followed by SN15 and then possibly BN1, the first booster.

You are gambling if you are risk-seeking. You are investing if you are risk-adverse. Gamblers like the thrill of win-it-all or lose-it-all. Investors minimize risk while accepting some risk as a cost for higher return. Trading can be gambl

There was some speculation that they didn't have that capability. Brokerage firms should have the ability to restrict margin trading in particular stocks, but what if Robinhood couldn't, at least not on short notice? There could

The risk to Robinhood is GME crashing by more than the amount of the margin. A large brokerage that has been through crashes before has systems in place, and can spread the remaining risk around. If a large portion of your customers are i

"Tesla is valued almost three times as much as those companies combined." He didn't say market cap, he said "valued" and you need to consider debt financing in making a fair comparison of market value.

"Further studies will be necessary to find genuine physical scenarios realising the acausal processes we have discovered." To bad no one went back in time to tell the authors whether they actually discovered anything or not.

I think it is really the number and frequency of orbital launches required for refueling that is the concern right now. SpaceX would love to get approval for unlimited orbital flights from Boca Chica, but it is four miles away from South P

No. This is explained in the article. That's only true for hydrocarbons which don't contain oxygen atoms. The energy comes from the O2 consumed. Sugar contains oxygen atoms, but those don't contribute to the energy releas

Proxmire had a well-known reputation attacking hard-working scientists with perfectly valid scientific research simply to get a reaction to a press release. His intent was to target government waste, but he found he could get much more pub

I'm not sure what you are saying here. I think the intent is to differentiate between the "optimal" robotic control dynamics which is designed for safety, efficiency, and to respond to unexpected situations and "dancing

"Else" is not archaic. Every kid growing up in the sixties knew that the way to start a fight was to say "Or else!" It was used a lot in cowboy movies before a gunfight.

Because SPARC is already happening. This is planning for research in areas that the next reactor will need including a neutron source to test materials and a blanket test facility. See Bob Mumgaard's slides from last year's annua

I may be reading it wrong, but if there is a 50% chance that a worker can finish a task in one turn, two workers would help keep the backlog down to linear time. But I learned it from Alvin Drake in 6.041.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. Get a rubber duck (or any toy-like object that can represent a listener) and explain problems to it. You may also find doing mathematical proofs to help your thinking, although it is a higher l
