Are the particle velocities that are being measure correlated at all? As in, flowing away from the sun or similar? I'd think that something with a well-defined "temperature" would be composed of randomly moving particles wi

I wonder if there is a way to gamify weight loss or calorie restriction. I mean besides participating on the "Alone" television show (where people go for weeks with very minimal calorie intake). And I wouldn't be surprised

I wonder what the oldest known example of "Well, actually..." is? "Quod scripsi, scripsi" comes to mind.

I wonder if most of the people in this thread should then change their minds on this topic, since the #1 reason seems to be that software development is being singled out.

It seems like the amortizing over the lifetime of a capital asset is what is tricky for software, not that some businesses operate with very small profit margins. For the example given, that must have been a hyper-competitive area; continu

>The fact that maintenance is required belies the perspective that it's a capital asset. I'm not following this. Factories, ships, stamping presses all require lots of maintenance and up keep.

Doesn't this kind of make sense if software is an asset? If your company purchases a seat of Oracle or Solidworks or Windows 11 or whatever. I don't think you can expense that all at one time, you have to amortize over the usefu

It isn't hard to imagine politicians grandstanding no matter what Waymo does. If they stop service, and save several hundred thousand dollars in property damage, surely some people will be claiming that Waymo is taking sides, and limi

That seems pretty niche. Why not just wait until it comes out on a streaming service? Or just buy 3 tickets, and go on three different days? Seems like a big hassle to plan three outings just to see a movie.
