Due to relativity the length of Ariana Grande will appear to change such that all observers agree on the same speed of light.

7ms is 7 milliseconds. Unfortunately 7μs is difficult to type and there isn't a good universal way to abbreviate it in ascii.

What if we found leprechauns and they gave us their pots of gold, think of all the scientists we could hire then! Certainly we should be prioritizing the leprechaun search.

The billionaire with a doomsday bunker probably has enough rations to outlast you. It's best not to wait until the doomsday bunker stage to do something about the situation.

At the ERP level everything is abstracted such that every operation is just a black box - stuff (raw materials, subcomponents, labor) goes in, stuff (assemblies, finished goods, scrap) comes out.

The question is not how much does this cost vs the value of the company; it's how much does this cost vs the cost to just do things the right way. $329 Million is orders of magnitude more than it would cost to implement the additional

The law is not supposed to make the utilitarian choice of what causes the least net harm to all people, individual rights be damned. That someone died while unchained is not a compelling argument for everyone to be put in irons.

This is a horrific argument. While an argument certainly could be made that the permanently comatose on life support should be considered dead, the logic that this change should be made to increase the supply of organs available for transpl

"inter-" means between, "intra-" means within, "extra-" means outside. "intra-" and "inter" aren't quite synonyms but they definitely aren't opposites of eachother.

All of the studies were done 2023-2024 and are not listed in order that they were conducted. The studies showing reduced equality all apply to uncommon tasks like material discovery and debate points, whereas the ones showing increased equa

Well given that the acronym is the only part of the legislation anyone will read, it makes sense it should get the lion's share of the effort.

According to the definition we're using, that counts as never sleeping. Half their brains are awake at any given time.

Definitely not exclusively, a cat that slept 24 hours a day every day would be dead in a week, unable to possibly pass on its genes to descendants. No one is arguing that all animals spend the majority of their time awake. The question is d

No, they are not. Dormant doesn't mean stationary. You are not asleep when you are sitting still watching TV.

They certainly aren't exclusively inactive, which is all that matters for this discussion.

by jjk166 1y ago
The fact that even when sleeping an animal can't remain dormant and survive is pretty good evidence that dormancy was not the ancestral state.

If a seed doesn't stop being a seed, it has no descendants.

Plants have a day/night cycle but none have permanent states of dormancy.

by jjk166 1y ago
That is also what I am referring to. Energetic activity is required to live and to reproduce, those are the normal activities. An active creature may have evolved a state of dormancy for various reasons, but there was never an organism in a

There definitely was never a life form which exclusively slept - all the critical parts of life require being awake. Life that didn't sleep, however, is possible.
