Yep, I noticed this with myself too when I first did some grading a few months ago. There was also the factor that the ones I graded initially did not make certain mistakes or answered in expected ways, such that when I did encounter unexpe

I tend to agree about science communication, but on the other hand, I've also seen how frustrating it can be to constantly have to correct the same fallacious arguments over and over again because people misinterpret the ideas and have

I count those as situations similar to the Shuttle accidents, in the Shuttle's case it was an inevitable consequence of the design that the area it had to fly over would be exposed to debris if it broke up in reentry. In the Long March

Point it where? We don't know exactly where to look, and it might be far out enough to be barely visible. Pointing a telescope at it requires a precise location.

For the average person, dark matter should be presented as absolute fact. It's the leading explanation that best explains most of the associated phenomenon, and the average person has repeatedly shown themselves to be unable to underst

Literally a handful of cases of this happening throughout history, barring the space shuttle disasters, which were a somewhat different situation. This incident makes ~15 cases of debris striking people or property since the start of the sp

Probably depends on how digitized things are where they live and how much of that they interact with. Where I live, going without a phone would be incredibly tedious, as it handles bus and train tickets, tracking for hourly busses, no ATMs

When has Elon said that the failures are the faults of his employees? Hell, he seldom claims that it's his success. Every Starship test flight he's congratulated the team for a job well done. It's the random people constantly

They don't have to worry about reputation, they can just grease Congress's pockets as they've been doing for the past 2-3 decades despite blatant problems. As long as they can keep blocking American competitors from emerging,

They asked what labor you'd be doing to be compensated for upon donating an organ after death. Simply checking the box doesn't ensure that your organs are healthy enough to donate. The monetary compensation would be for keeping th

It's telling that you seemingly only think of extreme cases when it comes to conflict resolution, and not all the mundane conflicts kids get into, eg arguing over who gets to play with a toy, arguing over who's whose friend etc, t

Why is the US the only one being argued to have abandoned its ally despite being the single biggest provider of aid? Why do most of the European allies literally next door to Ukraine need to have their hand twisted or given additional Ameri

As before, will continue to keep up with the workarounds. I'd be far more open to paying up if Google hadn't burned up all their good will by being awful to content creators. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too,

Ah that makes much more sense! I recalled that it was Soyuz that was delayed, but had been thinking that if they were disposing they'd probably do it via Progress and so, was a bit confused. I remembered that the reason for the uncontr

Yeah was just coming back to edit after reading up on it. A bottleneck from 100k to 1000 human ancestors ~800,000 years ago for ~100,000 years. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq7487 "Population

IIRC all of humanity outside of Africa has gone through a tight population bottleneck at some point, such that a massive portion of human history can probably trace its root to a group of early humans managing to survive a certain encounter

The awkward thing about TEC or Peltiers is that you still need a system to move the heat away from near the device, which often defeats the point. I was looking into using them to cool the stepper motors on my enclosed 3d printer, but reali

Yeah, but this is Earth we're talking about, those building materials can be sent up in a much more usable state via the proper two-stage stack.

As an example, Starship can theoretically SSTO on Earth, just with no payload and no means of returning. Totally inefficient and actually useless, but technically SSTO.

If using solar, they can only accelerate half the time, thus amplifying the effect of drag, since now they have to speed up enough on the day side to also cancel out the drag losses on the night side. On top of that I'm not really conv

I can relate to this pretty strongly, although on a slightly earlier timeline. Went through a similar period of focusing entirely on coding in my teens and early 20s, always occupied by personal projects when not studying etc. Realized how

I don't buy that the available payload mass will be sensible when including the amount of power generation needed, especially considering that most satellites would probably still need a heavy chemical stage to boost them to their oper
