This seems like an overengineered, cost-ineffective solution compared to just building big white rafts in the ocean to raise Earth's albedo. Same end result with much less engineering challenge.

At first I didn't see the big deal, because it looks just like a nebula, just in RF spectrum. Then I processed the fact that it's over a million light years across.

I am in the midst of caffeine dependence, and have been for years. I don't feel bad the next day though, I just need my morning coffee to feel functional. And an afternoon coffee. I am slowly reducing the caffeine by switching out the

What is wrong with Linux nowadays? I've used it as my main driver for long enough that I can't see the big problems that are preventing everyone from switching. Like, it seems easier than even WSL to me. Beginner friendly distos s

For what it's worth, that book is probably most to blame for shoving me hard from Christianity to secular agnosticism. I grew up being able to feel God's presence and love. The Power of Now helped me look at where that feeling ori

Millennial here. I like whichever one loads the fastest. Disclaimer: According to my wife I am not to be trusted with decor choices.

Not joking: stop going on the internet. It's scientifically proven to boost concentration. More specifically, do one thing, and only that thing, for a set time period. Do not check your phone, do not even have it in the same room. Do

The answer is a high tax on the unimproved value of land (Georgism). Makes land speculation and investment unprofitable, and property values to drop overall, so homes also become more affordable.

No, I agree. My other comment was limited the context of talking about that data only (that 80 percent of women fight over 20% of the men on data sites), not your data. You have promiscuity rates separated by sex, and changes of them over t

So, to me, this implies women being more selective of partners than in the past accounts for some of the overall decrease, but not all.

by rthomas6 5y ago
Right, this speaks to women being more selective than in the past, but says nothing in either direction about promiscuity levels overall. Women could be simultaneously more selective than in the past, and less promiscuous. Or more promisc

by rthomas6 5y ago
Do you have a source for this claim? Specifically that women aren't having less sex too, and that the decline is almost entirely due to men. It's very possible for women to be more selective than in the past, and also everyone bei

All three systems are incredibly easy to jam. The signals from the satellites are very low power by the time the reach Earth, and in fact are below the noise floor. Recievers use processing gain tricks in order to see them at all. I don&#x2

Cal Newport's book Digital Minimalism suggests doing a 30 day technology detox. That's 30 days offline. I've done it, and I highly recommended it. Three days would not have been long enough for me to not return to ingrained

I can think of some things that would require them to stay there, unable to surface, for thousands of years. Having the ability to mine asteroids and create additional colonies and space stations seems better to me.

I do not think it needs full optimality to be useful though. Because the tools are open source, I can see making SpinalHDL et al. to bitfile in a streamlined flow a reality. You can finally have performant, functional languages supported by

Because with complex numbers you are implicitly defining a point on the complex plane. So how on the Cartesian plane you can have 2x + 3y, and that defines the point (2,3), you can have 2 + 3i on the complex plane defining the same point. I

This is a really cool science fiction idea, but I don't see anything like evidence in this article, nothing testable at least. As a scifi fan, I think ideas like this are one of the important purposes of the genre. Maybe one day we can

What finally made imaginary numbers intuitively make sense to me is realizing that the number i just represents a 90 degree rotation on the complex plane. That's why i*i = -1 (it's rotating 180 degrees), why imaginary numbers are

This is what Nassim Nicholas Taleb has been writing books about. He calls them black swan events, because if you took a sample of 1000 swans, chances are you'd conclude that all swans are white, but it just isn't so. People tend t

I haven't used Zig, but my understanding is that Zig is more comparable to C, whereas Rust is more comparable to C++. Zig is a much smaller and simpler language, but Rust has more high level constructs and abstractions.

No, just this one. All you have to do is look at the comment history and see for yourself.
