Since Disney and Pixar merged their focus has been on making film franchises and the surrounding merchandise. So it's understandable that most people don't know that wasn't always their focus. When Jobs took over Pixar, he th

It’s been on sale for as long as Pixar has existed. Toy Story was sold to Jobs as a showcase for selling more Renderman instances.

No, he wouldn’t. It would have been a severe (criminal) breach of government procurement processes. Unlike most people commenting in this thread, I’ve actually applied for (and won) NASA contracts. He could have had same-day notice, but tha

He wouldn't have had advance knowledge.

At the price NASA is willing to pay, they can. The tankers are only a few million dollars in raw materials.

As stupid as it is, that is the contract.

That the human reaction to achieving success is to stir up so much hatred, makes me want to leave this planet even sooner.

I’m a simple man: I see “Matt Levine” on the byline, and I read it.

Nothing has 100% confidence. We could be living in the matrix and it’s all a lie. Setting a probability equal to 0% or 100% is like dividing by zero.

I feel that Haskell is a bit of a different case though. Like Lisp and Forth, people use Haskell because they are attracted to something at the core of the language itself which no mainstream language has. It’s like the same reason people l

It's far easier to start off learning a big language where a google search will solve any problem you're likely to have.

The ocean is clearly a better option. First, water itself acts as an absorbent of the emitted radiation. So the only living things which take up the radiation are those which consume the water. Second, unlike heavy metals, the uptake of hea

The radioactive stuff in it is the water. This is super-heavy-water, formed with tritium instead of "normal" hydrogen. It's already been filtered to remove all other (radioactive) contaminants. There is no cost effective w

by garmaine 6y ago
The radioactive water still goes somewhere. Would you rather it go into the ocean or into our lungs and crops?

by garmaine 6y ago
Yes. There are many people who have done this. It just takes a LOT of time and effort.

Btw this appears to be a common failure mode for AirPods. You need new ones :( Yay for planned obsolescence.

Your definition of debate is overly restrictive. I can assure you that scientists debate unsettled and speculative things all the time, and precisely one of the things being debated is “what should we test for?”

Overlaying probably wouldn’t help. These maps are not scaled. They represent landmarks, so it’s more a waypoint navigation list than what we think of as a geographic map.

And how do you think we come up with hypotheses?

In many parts of the US, school nurses and teachers are critically involved in identifying kids that might have ADHD and getting them on the track for treatment (whether that treatment is medicinal or purely behavioral intervention). In my

A quick google search show that diagnosis rates in Europe are only half the USA. That’s not that big a gap, and easily explained by cultural and institutional differences. For example, a lot of parents do not treat their ADHD kids with medi
