I believe that variability would be the domain of the control system and launch/recovery parameters to handle no matter what the fin design. The shorthand way to think about it is that the fin should not add any variability that the co

On descent, one might think that increased drag is something of a useful feature.

That sounds very interesting, but I'm curious about the pass mark criteria. Is there some larger number of beta and gamma that can also pass? Otherwise, it seems like generating Beta and gamma scoring gives some nice measures for use

For the most part, US retirees have health care too.. more so than the rest of the population at younger ages.

The Next Platform has had many articles with bits of detail on HPs Machine. Unfortunately, they don't really have any tagging mechanism, but you can search the phrase "the machine" or look at related articles there. https:&#

But cases where that information is preserved are probably more prevalent that this case where the soft tissue was fossilized by harder minerals. So I would guess in terms of probability of occurence: skin-hard-fossilized < soft-tissue-s

There are a class of bean-counters that specialize in assessing risk quantitatively. They would be found in the insurance industry. Though I would caveat that with the guess that the vast majority of that assessment is with models of risk a

In this case, we got lucky that the skin was fossilized enough to be durable enough to be exposed (with a lot of care I'm sure). But I wonder how much fossil data in the loose surrounding soil is lost being swept away in the standard p

I think it would be hard to see too, but I know my grandfather for example had a long-term, small dose of asprin prescribed to him as a minor 'blood thinner'. So there perhaps exists groups of patients who could form a sample to c

Incidentally, the book "Longitude", by Dava Sobel is a fun read about John Harrison and how timekeeping was critical for navigation of long distances at sea at the time.

Maybe I'm odd, but I've always felt like I learn better from a well organized reference book than most textbooks. In particular for programming languages or hardware references, it's like having a map to the entire area, inst

As time has gone on, I really wonder if the canonical technical/non-technical split in leadership is really the right breakdown for companies. It frequently ends up being a risk item that leadership is so separate from the low-level re

I would be nice to also track the maturity of the errant code base that those types of bugs are being reported in. One theory might be very mature/well tended code bases should have decreasing numbers of memory safety issues, and data

by digikata 10y ago
So has any person or organization done a statistical survey of a body of bug reports (like CERT) and characterized how many bugs are memory safety related? I see this SEI blog entry [1] that cites a report, with a bitrotted link (I think it

Perhaps it interferes with deduplication/compression of the storage, which would throw off some level of storage efficiency and increase costs for Drive. That said, I don't think I would really want to use a cloud drive service t

Love how the pencil/mouse gestures translate to adding nodes and links! That feature alone, even separate from the simulation aspect, makes me want a diagramming tool that does that for a wide range of symbols.

Other than that power button on the side, that laptop looks pretty interesting as a Macbook air replacement. Here's hoping maybe it's not a power button, that it's a hard power shutoff for camera/mic peripherals.

It seems to me that the macroscopic tissue structure of tuna I see in sushi is simpler and more consistent that of a ribeye steak, but I'm no biologist. The dry vs wet aged ribeye is a little off to me too, don't they have the inp
