Or we could not try the impossible task of convincing people to lower their carbon footprint and instead invest in sequestration, sun shields, and geo engineering to eliminate the climate change problem. Austerity will not get us out of thi

There is some limited scientific applications that are currently flown on sounding rockets which could be repurposed to these vehicles. But no, this is mostly about tourism and the Bezos vs. Branson dick measuring contest.

I don't see a theoretical reason why not, although I don't know of any language that does this. Isn't really my area though.

That’s object inheritance that trips you up. Interface inheritance (a la Rust) handles this fine. Edit: that’s a great witticism though.

Not according to the legal advice I received when I founded my company and attempted the Thiel trick.

Buying even one founder share in your startup is self-dealing and a prohibited. The penalty is the whole account loses tax advantaged status, not a measly $2000. But tax details are private and between Thiel and the IRS.

It’s not expanding over anything. Expansion is an intrinsic property.

by garmaine 5y ago
It’s admittedly non intuitive, but no there’s no difference. The reason is that space isn’t expanding into something else, but rather space time itself is stretching. Which reduces the energy density, which cools things down. In exactly the

Which aren't observable because the end of the finite universe is beyond our relativistic sight horizon.

Due to the speed of light, there would be no observable differences.

Seriously, there are many parts of the world where this is true. Bad reporting, maybe?

Not the person you are replying to, but I’m like your friend, and also lack visual imagination. In fact the only thing I can create in my head is my internal monologue. Ask me to remember a tune and I’ll be internally beat boxing or humming

“ If they can get the permission to leave, that is.” Also there’s the no-small-matter of how they get to the UK in the middle of a pandemic with restricted flights and transit visas.

They have. At least for the HK residents which predate the '97 handover and therefore have British Overseas National status. This is about 1/3 of the HK population which is now allowed to settle and work in the UK on a track towar

It seems like you've got a lot of people expressing a similar experience. You're not alone! But I have to say no, never in my life have I ever experienced something like that. So it's not a human universal.

If it isn't even made with the same ingredients, how can it be related by anything but name? I've traveled to Thailand quite a few times and AFAIK the sauce is not called "Sri Racha" there. The American sauce is just nam

Why would Thailand need to demand that when it is a California invention? To be clear, there is no “Sriracha” sauce in Thailand. At best there is a spicy pepper and vinegar blend which some cuisine uses, but it’s nothing like the California

It happened twice actually. Apple (the record company) sued Apple (the computer company) back in the 80's. The judgement then was that the computer company could keep using their name so long as they never enter the music business. The

It's a California fusion food which has spread world-wide. Sibling comment is incorrect; it is at most "inspired by" the original Thai sauce. It's made with the California-native Jalapeño ingredients you might expect in

While this is true of, say, Haskell, I really don’t think it is true of scheme. You can write procedural, stateful scheme.

by garmaine 5y ago
C imparts a very specific architecture onto your code. Scheme is more of a blank slate upon which many different paradigms can be taught.
