I don't know, but it seems plausible that awareness of the term's origin might well be considerably higher among those whose own father or grandfather was disenfranchised by one of the original grandfather clauses. I at least wa

I don't know if the Moon is really "infinitely" easier to get to and back - in a real sense the Moon is "most of the way there" - getting to Mars surface is only 25% more delta-v than the Moon, and that's witho

Isn't the rest mass of a proton at least 8 billion times higher than that of a neutrino?

You can't really talk about the breakdown of the Oslo accords in the 90s without mentioning the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, can you?

Supposedly they started carrying Champagne with them after this so that the locals where they landed would know that they were fellow Frenchmen.

Operating in notch 6 runs the generator at 647 RPM. Since the AR10 is a 10 pole machine, that gives 64.7 Hz power. This part doesn't quite make sense though, because it mixes RPM (per-minute) with Hz (per-second) without scaling. 647

Are not those mining the coal that's burnt for the electricity to power the Bitcoin mining operations the first humans in the chain?

Increasing the money supply doesn't inherently cause "the rich to become richer". Yes, asset prices (both stocks and real estate) tend to go up, but that's because the underlying asset has about the same value but that

The economics of the situation seem to point towards the owners of the mining operations making a fairly slim margin. The amount of electricity required to mine must rise until the mining input costs are close to the current Bitcoin price,

If it's true that Bitcoin mining is concentrated in these regions with cheap coal-fired electricity, there does seem to be a fairly direct linkage from coal-mining to coal-fired power plants to Bitcoin miners without too much of a reac

That just leaves plenty of time for all the sundry industry lobbyists, gladhanders and sleeve-tuggers to capture all the legislators and their advisors, ensuring the status quo is maintained and nothing ever gets fixed.

I'm not thinking of a mechanical valve - a burst disc essentially is an engineered weak point, designed to fail first. It would have enough clearance for the ice to be forced out through it, and be in a location with sufficient draina

Why don't pipes in areas prone to this sort of thing have some of cheaply replaceable burst disc relief valve, given how catastrophic an uncontrolled failure of the pipework is?

It's looking for operators. That string encodes the operator to look for, and the values of tokl and tokc that will be used if that operator is found. The first entry looks for "++", and if found sets tokc to 1 ('#&#x27

Pre-pandemic, my wife and I would sometimes play a game at events with large numbers of people we didn't know, where one of us would mention a celebrity lookalike and the other had to spot them in the crowd.

I don't think it works like that. If you're just talking about avoiding bankruptcy, well you could just buy a car and not replace it the first time if it's stolen/destroyed. Presumably in this scenario you actually requ

The insurance market can't be that efficient, or the same driver with the same car wouldn't see such wildly varying quotes from different insurers.

It's reasonably common for washing machines to have a timer delay function, isn't it? I set mine to run during the off peak time, finishing before I wake up.

It's not really a capped risk, because there's nothing stopping your car from being stolen more than once.

A good solution probably looks like: Consortiums of EV-selling manufacturers form to build charging networks for that consortium's cars. Eventually cross-usage deals or mergers happen between networks of similar size and usage, until
