The US relies primarily on the Aegis system for ICBM defense, which uses the SM-3 capable of Mach 10+. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-161_Standard_Missile_3

Pro-rata rights prevent this, but it's an interesting question of whether it would be illegal.

There’s little way to tell from the video. Human eyes have much higher dynamic range than typical video cameras. What the video shows is not likely representative of what your eyes would have seen.

Definitely. Though I feel that many people may not know that the probability of a fatality in cyclist/pedestrian accidents increases dramatically between 20-30mph, and I certainly see a lot of ebikers doing 25mph+ in crowded areas that

Valuation is on potential, but I agree with sentiment. They will get mass production up and running over the next 2 years. Whether there will be demand then or not is unclear to me. I think people are underestimating the extent to which the

The US military probably thinks so, but I believe a major goal of NIF is the ability to model whether the ones the US already built will still work without setting one off.

It's a cost savings measure for CA companies to avoid having to hold employee's earned vacation hours as a liability to be paid out if they are unused when the employee separates. This is also why they cannot set a minimum, as tha

If it's in relation to scoping work or how long it will take to do something, it may be the "time blindness" that typically accompanies ADHD. This typically leads to optimistic estimates of how much work can get done within a

My point was more a question/observation as to why this is contentious, but "X for Women" is not seen as contentious. While I don't appreciate your condescending tone. I agree with you that "tribalism" is gener

Yes, it’s very interesting that “X for Women” seems non-controversial to most people, but “X for [underserved group]” brings out the trolls en masse.

Merriam-Webster seems to agree with you. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unhabitable

Agree with your points. Also, your comment reminded me that habitable, unhabitable, inhabitable, uninhabitable, is one of the most confusing situations in the english language.

My guess would be conjecture that millimeter waves increase plasmid uptake/transformation above natural rates. I think this is unlikely given the feature sizes here and the energy typically required to ‘shock’ bacteria into plasmid upt

I’m interested as well. But having built out a complete e-commerce stack in elixir, I can say I found it particularly well suited to this use case.

It still amazes me that people will just plug random USB devices they don’t know the provenance of into their computers. Let alone store valuable information/crypto on one.

Both essentially. You need more height to do more flips, which means you need more speed coming into the jump, which means you will fly farther horizontally. Some of this can be modulated by your takeoff, but only a small amount. Projectil

I imagine this was about exploring part of the fusion triple product. Which is very valuable as reaching the time/temp/density point for ignition is when generation even starts to become feasible. This article doesn’t say anything

Agreed, I don't think anyone knows clearly what is happening. Some additional points that are related. Thrombocytopenia has been a known complication of adenovirus vectors that researchers have worked to overcome in recent decades. The

Yeah, it's a complete mess too. It really depends on the situation. For adults, with their own coverage, most medical debts are covered by the deceased's estate until it is insolvent. Family members are not required to pay the deb

While this is always something to consider, generally, 6-fold increase in risk due to exposure is likely not just a population demographic artifact. TCE and its relation to Parkinson's has been studied for at least the last 15 years. T

You edited your comment after I had responded, so hopefully I can address those concerns. I'm not sure the "claim" you think I am making. As for increased infectivity, that is at the core of what is understood to occur in ADE

Was just hoping to point out for those who aren't as close to this space that the fact that non-neutralizing antibodies can bind is neither a positive nor negative signal. Also, what I wrote is not speculation: The potential danger of

Interesting thought, though a very large number of things in astronomy are almost always circular or spheroid mostly due to gravity.

Agreed, we’ve never produced a vaccine of this type at scale nor managed the required supply chain considerations. Making 10K efficacious non-harmful vaccines for a trial may be much easier than making 100M or 1B. Some processes don’t scale
