>> If someone is speculating they should say that. I agree. This was not speculation though. It was a hypothetical, signaled by the use of "illustrative". The OP was making a point, not about that order of magnitude, they we

They could have said "only X were sold". Or X sold, where X is a very low" number". Instead, they went with an abitrary low number and declared it to be arbitrary. const ILLUSTRATIVE_LOW_SALES = 30 Seems fine to me.

I will bite. How do these multi-thousand-year furniture lobbyists continue to conspire to successfully frame our contemporary ideas toward their agenda?

Reminiscent of the movie The Congress, in which Robin Wright's character, a famous actor, is hustled by a movie studio into giving up her likeness for them to continue making films starring her, in perpetuity.

By coincidence, I visited an Akiya in Nagano yesterday. It's not free, but it's very cheap. I will probably buy it (+60% likelihood). If so, I will spend additional 200% asking price on repairs. Technically, I am resident in Tokyo

I agree with your conclusion, but for a different reason. Having been vegetarian for a long time, I have completely lost the inclination to eat something like meat, even if it isn't meat. I would love to try Impossible, but cannot brin

I might have suggested meeting at the "farm" above the South side of the station. I think it's on the fourth or fifth floor. Of course, theres only one farm in the vicinity and it's small enough that you won't miss

I believe you may discussing at cross-purposes. Presumably like your parent, I believed this was a discussion about the probability that life has originated elsewhere in the galaxy / universe, independently of life on Earth.

It's now proven that demons never could have dwelt there. You can be forgiven for not remembering this, since there's a cost to accumulating information.

That seems to be correct. A partial mitigation of these issues could be high bandwidth / low latency networks just in take-off / landing corridors?

I don't claim to be knowledgeable. It's just a hypothetical question. Surely, it depends on the nature of the emergency. As I understand it, in this Qantas example, the pilots did not need to fly the plane with real-time responses

I feel it's essentially similar to stories such as the Imperial Japanese soldier still fighting WWII into the 1970s on a remote Philippine island. Once started down a path, never stop, never change course. 我慢して!

Since the Enlightenment, it has mainly been our use of language that underpinned humans' purported uniqueness. Prior to that, it was religion. LLMs will be a challenge to the sense of entitlement which derives from this so-called uniqu

Assuming the technology has actual value, Kia/Hyundai would likely be more incentivised to license it to other vehicle-makers, than to keep an exclusive license for themselves.

Your parent wasn't suggesting you hadn't considered it, they were asking for more information about the designs. To what extent is / isn't common design mistake the probable cause?

Travelling at some fraction of light speed to cover the vast distances, 85 hours elapsed might equate to tens of thousands of hours in some relativistically static frame of reference.

O'Callaghan et al. successfully retained the baby - MacKay's method - while discarding the bathwater - his 2008 data. There is nothing in principle to prevent scale-up of floating wind, but there is an awful lot of scaling to do.

Your ice is sublimating. Cold dry air absorbs vapour directly from the solid water. The more surface area is exposed to air (hollow cylinders) the more it'll sublimate.

I suspect this decision would have been almost a no-brainer for Mazda execs in Japan. Japanese culture tends to white-list permitted activities. The API was designed for a purpose other than what this developer used it for. Therefore his co

What I loved is the dramatic irony. Everyone who watches it already knows, note for note, the finished song being crafted. Only they don't. We get to watch the song's creators stumbling towards the light. We feel satisfaction as t
