One thought that occurred to me is that drivers might unconsciously not want to delay deliveries for later in the day if they can be done sooner. Delivery locations further away will always be delivered later, but if I'm in the neighb

That would be annoying.

Today 538 gave the optimal starting word and all the best second words, with a 60% chance of solving it in three words. Completely ruined the game, in my opinion.

Demo and pilot plants tend to be small because they are intended to prove the technology to be feasible and economic. The next step would be a commercial scale plant.

I agree. My word was "HIPPY." I don't know how you would exploit it though.

Imagine you have a close relative (parent, sibling or child) that you love very much and don't want them to die or get very sick but they are refusing to get vaccinated. You could either keep pestering them about getting the shot, tel

Two people with IQ's of 120 will have kids with average IQ's of 110, but if you put those kids on an island and they have kids their average IQ's will be 110. What?

The fuel is deuterium, lithium, and a smaller amount of beryllium or lead used as a neutron multiplier to assure a net positive tritium production. Yes, tritium is needed to start the reactor, but it can be replenished with lithium tritium

The company was founded in 2018. At the time they promised to demo this magnet during the Summer of 2021. What is the issue? The goal is to get fusion power om the grid in the 2030's and scale up in the 2040's. Stop moving the

The demountable magnets for ARC are so the blanket and vacuum vessel can be swapped out as a whole unit for replacement during maintenance. SPARC has no blanket and will only be used for some thousands of ten second shots or the equivalen

That paper refers to a different magnet. The press release refers to milestone that was achieved a few days ago and has not yet been published. Their goal announced three years ago was to build the magnet and demo it this Summer. Let&#x2

The universe is obviously not tuned for space faring intelligent life. What the Anthropic Principle or Self-Sampling Assumption actually says is the universe is tuned to include our form of intelligent life, maybe others too, but not neces

This is my question. I've been keeping my key fob in a faraday box for almost a year because I heard that keyless entry and keyless start can be pinged during a night-time drive-by when the owner is likely to be home. Obviously not a

No expertise in the matter, but I assume the question is how our solar system formed with gas giants in the outer orbits and rocky planets in the habitable zone and how common this might be around other stars. The final paragraph of the co

They had a partnership with NEC Energy Solutions which then left the integration business about 9 months later, so that was probably a business setback. I'm still hopeful that they get a chance to scale with projects like data centers

Also, if the content of the story changes with the headline, then it is probably just reflecting a developing story. That's what the SpaceX and Cuomo stories seemed to be doing. Assuming that all headline changes are just because an

Whatever they use on Mars will need to be lightweight and designed for the application. I can see them building some prototypes, but putting them in the middle of an active launch site seems overly risky. The current distillation plant un

I think that plant is just for oxygen and nitrogen (plus the bonus argon for the welders.) Somebody did a calculation that showed that the number of truckloads of methane needed to power the plant was substantially less then the number of

I think the first structure designed to catch boosters will be away from the launch mounts. The primary advantage of catching is eliminating the mass of the legs. Quick relaunch capability is just a bonus and primarily useful at offshore

I think they would have to fly out between Florida and Cuba on orbital flights so a little more restricted than Cape Canaveral.

They will truck in thousands of load of soil to build it up. The production site is probably in greater danger of flooding at the moment.

I think everything is a backup with the possible exception of the landing pads. You may need to land the Starship before the booster has been cleared from the other landing pad. In fact, the second landing pad is one of the new items in t

And will it go for a 3-way draw or try for a solo win? What about keeping a puppet ally alive to disrupt a draw? (And why did I think the parent comment was about 4-way draws?)

I saw at least three legs deploy normally and one that was stuck partly deployed. Waiting for Scott Manley to give the final verdict. Edit: This video shows six legs deploying, but two failing to latch. https://www.youtube.com&

Thunderf00t recently made fun of SpaceX for failing to do what DC-X did in 1995, but he ignored the fuel savings of the belly flop followed by a brief burn. Doing it fuel efficiently is critical to practical reuse.
