They can already do it now and they aren't. If you have to convince the board, the shareholders etc to take on a risk that has a high chance of failure, it has even less chance of happening. If a person has enough control at a company

Different people are motivated by different things. While its true that scientists and engineers and everyone else have done a great deal in advancing things, the sad reality is that unless someone fronts the money, nothing will get done.

If you put an upper limit, you'll have people stop once they hit that limit. Why would you go after that billion dollar idea when you are hard capped at millions? Nobody would ever go after moonshots. If we're talking about fantas

The fundamental issue here is human behavior. Whatever system you come up with, people will come up with ways to turn it to their advantage.

Landing the rocket is the first step in figuring out reuse. Its irrelevant that it probably did not involve some scientific breakthrough - in fact it makes it all the more sadder that no-one bothered to do it before. Same situation with Tes

I don't think he was going to add anything more to what was already reported a week or so ago.

The russians are more likely to use nukes because any conflict with them will have to be near their borders since their military simply does not have the capability to fight far from home. Its easier to get support from your population when

People praise him because he has a plan in the first place and is working towards achieving it. Whether he succeeds or not, he's atleast making the effort. This is why people get irritated when he gets criticized because the arguments

No, this is analogous to cameras on every street. Perfectly legal even if they are recording children ...

Cost is likely not as a big an issue for Bezos as it is for Musk. They could blow up a bunch of rockets every year and still not hurt for cash. This gives them quite a bit of advantage. I think BO are going to nail down re-usability first a

Honestly, the universe would easily be able to sustain our rapaciousness if we had the tech to actually go and claim it. I actually really like Bezos' idea of moving all industries off-planet.

The point of that exercise was to show whether you knew how to do it. Things like division and multiplication etc are so basic that you should know how to do it even if you haven't done it for years. As for mental arithmetic, its main

by rohit89 10y ago
I believe the OP's exercise was to do the division manually not mentally. Basic mental arithmetic is probably the most used in day-to-day life. It feels weird having to whip out a calculator/phone every time you need to make a qui

They probably brainstorm through all the possible scenarios that could have caused a particular condition and then see if the data matches and they can prove it as best they can.

I think so. Pain is a way of alerting us that some damage took place and that it needs to be taken care of. I imagine the brain would evolve to ignore pain since the people who feel it less would have an advantage over the ones who feel it

I sense injuries. The data could be called "pain". If you can self-heal from the worst of injuries, you don't need to feel pain.

The delays would have to be longer than that, not just a few seconds. You're looking at minutes to hours for strong guarantees. Also having a configurable option could make you more fingerprintable.

The effect will be exaggerated since tor traffic goes through three nodes and random jitter would need to be added for each. In general, beating traffic analysis in a low latency network is a hard problem. You could have perfect anonymity i

Introducing jitter would mean increasing latency and generally slowing down your browsing.

by rohit89 10y ago
As I understand it, this is a fundamental problem for any low latency network. You could fix the problem by introducing delays but that would break the low latency requirement.

SpaceX has a testing framework where they can simulate thousands of flights so they've likely crashed it a fair few times in the simulations.
