Importantly, the non-uniformity may have a big impact on weather patterns, leading to an increase in hurricanes and flooding and other adverse effects.

It's close to zero over short distances (ignoring solar wind and LEO atmosphere), although you're still trying to dock with a moving target. If you've played KSP or read about Gemini 4, the relative motion can be unintuitive

From a gameplay perspective, there isn't much sense in a full N-body simulation. Players only care about their spacecraft, which is a restricted three-body problem (small spacecraft, massive gravitational bodies) outside of special cas

Google had a short-lived experiment called Google Contributor, where you could pay a monthly subscription to hide AdSense ads. Each page view would subtract from your monthly balance and the leftovers would be refunded. I had mine set up to

It would not surprise me if "we can use your brand for advertising" is explicitly mentioned in the GrubHub/DoorDash contracts. I think the overall problem is that restaurants don't have much leverage; their main option i

Although I think the WHO has been way too cryptic talking about the issues surrounding antibodies and immunity, I think the real questions are really around degrees of immunity. It might be that 80% of people get antibodies and immunity, bu

Where you can get into trouble is if the problem affects all your instances across the entire cluster. If all your organization's code is running in the same process, if any of that code has a severe memory leak or other serious issue,

Some landlords charge application fees for dozens of applicants but they only run the credit check/screening for the first few. Also the amount of personal information requested is ridiculous. I'd much rather use one of those syst

Even if you trust them on privacy or are willing to let them analyze your emails in exchange for some feature, there are very few companies that I trust to handle my email securely. If a hacker gained access to my Gmail access tokens, they&

On top of the cost of the extra pointer lookup, you also run into cache coherency issues when dealing with threading. So then you need to use atomic ops or locks or cache flushing which makes it even more expensive. Rust is better suited to

You could always use a userspace implementation of WireGuard like https://blog.cloudflare.com/boringtun-userspace-wireguard-ru... . I imagine the advantage of the kernel module is good performance for normal users who are n

Sure, you can climb in and out of a walled garden with a grappling hook, but that's not really the point.

It's been a while since I've taken high school biology, but the odds should be the same as the mother. Scottish-ness is not something that's limited to the X or Y chromosome. Mitochondrial DNA will only come from your mother,

Scott Manley's latest video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-HOQrinzlY ) says the capsule should be able to survive in the water for at least 24 hours at minimum, but probably longer.

AI also has a lot of training data. Humans are highly adaptable but most of us have limited experience with situations like hydroplaning, sudden tire failure, etc. Also self-driving cars could have better sensors that don't have blind

Also frugal habits learned from agonizing over $100 and $10,000 spending sometimes trickle down to those $2 decisions. It becomes an instinct even if it doesn't make sense.

I have to give credit to Apple for taking power away from the telcos. They wanted to nickel and dime you for every app and feature. Getting even a dumb feature phone out the door required months of certification and the OS might get an upda

It made sense in the early days when apps were $0.99 and credit cards charged approx $0.19 + 3% per transaction (Apple likely gets better rates, but just as an approximation). There's still a lot of apps that fall in that range, but I&

I think their argument is that they're providing you exposure through the App Store, so they deserve a referral fee for maintaining the App Store, reviewing apps, etc. Normally, user acquisition (getting a user to even think about inst

Apple's App Store didn't really have competition. The iPhone was pretty much an entirely new class of smartphone. The sheer volume of users compared to early smartphones meant you could sell an app for $1.99 and make loads of mone

I don't think we need to divide the market into specialized segments (iOS devices, luxury smartphone, etc) to make the case against Apple. They have somewhere around 50% of the global market in terms of smartphone revenue (not devices

If your WASM code doesn't change (isn't being downloaded at runtime from the Internet), then you could ahead-of-time compile it to native machine code (ARM/ARM64) and link it into your app. It doesn't look like anyone&#x

Also if accessibility is a requirement, you'll have to implement a fallback in DOM, although you're probably no longer optimizing for raw speed in that case.

If you're actually using OSX's word list, each "digit" could be one of ~235886 words, which is more than 17 bits of entropy or the equivalent of 2-3 normal keyboard characters (and a lot of luggage lock tumblers). In pra

They can increase battery life by making the watch bigger and heavier. Don't laugh -- okay, do laugh, but it's surprising what people will put up with. We used to think that 6" phones were ridiculous.
