It seems like this strategy didn't work so well in the past - do we know the reason why?

The only one I can really back on this list as a physicist rather than a movie lover is The Martian. I watched it at quite a low point in my physics undergrad and it re-sparked my joy for physics. At least until I graduated! Hey-ho.

I mean humanity is inevitably thermodynamically doomed. So is the universe.

The context of the quote: > I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful to kidnappers and extortionists and so forth... So, I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civil

You should try playing some older MMOs: EVE, Anarchy Online, Ultima Online, Runescape. All stuff fundamentally untouched by the WoW design - and they are much better for it IMO. When I've played these games, even 20 years on, I am comp

Can't you just get a spectrum analyser to detect things like this? Did technology like that not exist in this era?

Doesn't the difficulty here become the limitations of the sensor? And perhaps lens distortion?

Anyone have more technical detail on the software or the bugs therein?

And only recently this number dropped below 50%! Wow!

An argument is what it will boil down to because there will be a group of people who don't believe that it is "inhuman and barbaric". For the record - I agree with you, but I also recognize there are people who do not agree w

I think it's worth noting the context for this article - which a lot of people have missed. This study was performed when there was quite a lot of reporting on "one glass of red-wine a day", as being healthy and an important

There will be people who will come to the defence of just about anything nowadays. I often hear people criticize the USA for its litigiousness, so I think the worry is a little overblown.

Exactly this - as someone with a non-traditional background (physics) "reversing a binary tree" is as you say completely trivial and I could have "discovered" the answer to the question in slightly slower than real-time

It's worth noting that stock market crashes don't happen when market sentiment suddenly inverts - they happen when one day is slightly less positive than the last...

I've lived in both the UK and Texas so I've run the gamut. Honestly I think the roofing situation in the UK is much worse. I've not lived in a property without roofing problems and leaks. Especially considering the weather is

I've not read too much in detail about the solar roof but at this price is it actually economical? Or just a status symbol?

Welcome to neo-serfdom. You either own your home, are in a small group of new-money who can afford a home, or are on a never ending treadmill of saving in which house prices are increasing beyond any amount you can possibly save.

I'm sympathetic to your point of view - but suffering must be relative or you would be concerned about the worms in a construction site or the bacteria you kill with bleach. There must be a spectrum of consciousness and perhaps there i

Voyeurism is illegal in most places, are you saying that is what this is?

So rural, old and poor. Surely there is no surprise there, unless you have never met someone in all three of those categories.

These days I'm seeing the anti-identity-politics folks bring up identity-politics more than anyone else...

Probably a mixture of all three.

It allows you to be your own bank - you aren't depending on any central authority to allow you access to your "cash". This might be one of those things that is Not For You if you can't think of a use for it, and that is

I read this fresh out of university and it made me want for a culture that no longer exists. If it ever did, that is, for anyone beyond a few elites. The world may have been for two sigma individuals in the past but now it's for three

If it is unfurnished and no one is living in the property then no council tax is paid.

The fascinating thing about the UK is that there is no land value tax. Some people say that council tax is the UK equivalent - but it only applies to furnished dwellings. This means that a lot of land owners in the UK sit on large valuable

Make no mistake, I think they should teach the b-quark as "bottom quark" to the general public and students. What particle physicist actually choose to use should be done at their own whimsy. I appreciate your diagnosis though, al

I have absolutely no problem with it being whimsical. Actually I would like it to be as whimsical as possible, while still being easy and consistent to learn that is.
