Flooding is considered when designing nuclear storage, so water carrying contaminants away is no longer an issue.

The lenses are made of materials that will not resist the conditions in space (high temperature gradients, oxidizing environment, radiation). Once in space they cannot tweak the array. Launch weight and stresses would damage this array.

I think the period between having a playable alpha and a polished release is the part people hate. Or just grinding out content to make the game longer. I hope you enjoy the process and succeed as a game dev.

The power of attributes and get/set in languages like C# is similar. It's easy to turn value types into functions. Or to move a value into a subclass and you don't need to do a.b.c (moved c into b) because you can add c =>

Great explanation. In addition, flaps make the wing able to provide lift at slower airspeed at the cost of efficiency. Perfect for takeoff and landing.

Good points, but pedantically we can measure such times using a mirror and the round trip of a laser pulse. This has been done with the moon. But your points about no 8 minutes of warning stand.

A lot of effort is currently put into tracking missile launches and predicting ballistic trajectories. The goal is to give some warning if a nuclear strike is launched. It would be obvious if a strike came from an extraterrestrial source, t

We've been over-polluting with CO2 for over a 100 years[1]. I prefer to focus on how now we're slowly gaining the will and the way to address that. - Solar and wind power - New Nuclear options - Grid Storage - Electric vehicles It

A couple of things that are special about 2s compliment - There are no redundant numbers like -0 - Adding two integers together in this format works with negative and positive numbers with no special case. -1 is actually 0xFF or 0xFFFF etc.

Seems like charging people for what they write or say in a private setting is like ThoughtCrime. Monitoring all communications for keywords and reacting is going to throw up a lot of false positives, that is in the nature of casting a wide

It's unclear from the article whither you are correct or you are offering a straw-man argument. Obviously the situation you are positing 1. You posit a distorted idea of "tyranny" - you extend it to all morals 2. You assume a

Lithium-ion battery lifetimes are based on charge-discharge cycles. The Prius battery is far smaller (about 5-10x smaller) than a Tesla battery, so it is cycling charge / discharge far more often. So you'd expect the same quality

That might be fair in the short term. However it's not a workable option long-term, or all such models will be very limited in their knowledge as humanity advances technologically and culturally.
