>I would have expected the carbon density of oil to be much higher! You're comparing by weight, so density (which is mass/volume) isn't a part of it. 1kg of wood will take up more space than 1kg of oil. So the density is h

To be clear, I love the project and think sonification can be useful… just don’t pitch it with an outright lie. A microphone in space will hear nothing. That is true. Even if a microphone could travel through that particular gas cloud at sp

It really bothers me that NASA releases these along with text that implies that there is a "popular misconception that there is no sound in space" when that is in fact true. They are mapping visual data about gas density to audio

All the people responding to you are missing the distinction too... They can create/destroy coins at will. They say that they only do this when customers receive/withdraw fiat but we all know that's not the case and they ar

The real answer is to use the British style but then combine the " and . into a ligature in the font so that it looks nicer like the American style. Simple! edit: Just searched and there are some people doing exactly this with negative

If you've ever bought an emergency hand-crank flashlight you'll see that it takes a tremendous amount of cranking on a pretty big coil to get a decent amount of electricity. On that small crank, you would probably have to crank fo

Interesting. With editable docs, things sometimes get added above the points or reordered and then re-numbered which makes the discussion misleading. The reason I prefer bullets is that it encourages people to quote the relevant section whe

If it was a BGP issue, it's not a problem of where the status page is hosted but instead that you just can't get to it via that name no matter where it's hosted, right?
