Could an astronomer weigh in as to why the dimming effect isn't due to a 'rogue' blackhole entering orbit with the star and both blocking light and draining material from the star? I haven't seen that hypothesis dismisse

Prostitution is a fundamental natural right. Even animals do it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_among_animals . To try and ban such behavior is immoral. Look at the fruits of prohibition: 1. Prostitutes can n

Very similar to how I design a game for Ludum Dare. Of course, I do this in the first hour after they announce the theme.

I went to grad school and published several peer-reviewed articles. Even after I die, people will be able to search my name and retrieve work that I did. To me, that is priceless.

> The point about money attracting the wrong kind of people is (I think) accurate. We live in a time where moral hazard was effectively removed for people at the top of the economic food chain. The 2008 financial crisis should have wiped

If only there was some way to self-checkout with this. Scan your own barcode with the camera, bag your own goods. Set them on the scale, checkout! I know security is a big risk with this, but stores DO have self-checkouts. One step closer t

As a chemist, my most horrifying compound is Dimethylmercury. It readily passes through protective latex and PVC. Consider Karen Wetterhahn. She spilled a couple of drops onto her gloves, quickly cleaned it up but still ended up dying a rat

Stats can also be used to obfuscate and mislead. P-hacking (mentioned in the article) is the most well known.

Charging for the Google Maps API calls is probably where they make money off of it. Lots of apps use it.

Could you expand on your definition of "properties of interest"? I think Haskell's type system satisfies your list of requirements.

I should have elaborated better. I think that the feedback should in theory always be the same. However, the check for existent user and the check for correct password are different procedures in the program. The program masks this fact by
