Another thing some KSP mods gave an impression to me was how seemingly magical ideal encounters and transfer windows they could make. Even though I couldn't make it myself by the usual orbit tools I also wouldn't be too surprised

What about smaller components? If we follow this to the logical conclusion we cannot use integrated circuits at all, as each individual transistor must be replaceable. The rules needs to be written in a way that allow things, like integrate

Thank you. So it indeed is doable, just holy moly the forms. Things like "Add lines 25a through 25c". Don't they have computers? Are the forms for Citizens like this too?

Can you even file an US tax return if you don't have any presence in the US? How do they even identify you if you don't have US SSN?

Considering that the satirical doc criticized the agressive monetization that predominantly affects mobile gamers I find it hard to see how that is trashing mobile gamers. Or is it so that if I criticize something that affects some group no

5 tonnes was not an exaggeration. Batteries weigh a lot. Right now energy density of them is enough for decent passenger car experience. But it’s not competitive in big trucks.

Bitcoin transaction value has nothing to do with it's energy consumption. So moving a cent or a million both cost the same.

Sure. But the amount of channels gives an indication on the potential users. And it's way way less than on the main network, basically a footnote at this point. Yeah it _might_ grow in the future. But until it does it doesn't work

Naturally. While POS cryptos share many other bad sides with Bitcoin at least they don't ruin the planet so they're far far better.

At that rate and assuming 4tx per second a single Bitcoin transaction consumes 165kWh. A Tesla battery is bit over 50kWh. So let's round that to 3 full charges of Tesla battery. That's 350km/220 miles of range per charge. In

We use two terms for homeless here. Strictly speaking if we just use the term homeless you're correct. 79% of them are not like that [ARA Asunnottomat 2019]. They're people like students bunking in a friends bed without a valid ad

He said mainly. No all. You do understand that everyone gets social security as money if they need. The problems happen if they are unable to use that money to pay the rent. And yes indeed the main reason is some sort of intoxicant use, as

Amusingly enough there will be oversized EV SUV's. Up to ridiculous ones like the upcoming Hummer EV, yes you read that right. A Hummer. As EV. It has 200kWh battery so that should give even more juice to power a house. I wouldn't

In bitcoins case the incentives are such that it’s power consumption that’s essentially being measured. Now let’s say that someone would make a chip that would use only 10% of the power of the current ones. What do you think would happen: P

Doubt that. We have full socialized healthcare and great unemployment benefits. Yet we also suffer from the same problems in academia. Having those is pretty orthogonal to actually getting results in science. No need to mix them in. Univers

For individual humans that’s like saying ”My net worth is $100k and that is more than most people earn in a year”. Yes that is true, it is larger. But it is meaningless comparison and misleading at best.

The money saved does not go into the healthcare. The healthcare is paid from taxes paid from salaries etc. So the bigger the salary the more funding for healthcare. I’m not complaining about the situation. Supply and demand determines IT wa

On a conceptual level they seem allright. The downside is that they don’t actually work as documented. If Mac APIs actually work as advertised then the difference is that windows programs work weirdly (bad sync etc) or have had to spend ton

I bet macOS audio API's are way better than on Windows. I don't have experience of them myself but I have been burned by Windows ones. I have a small story to tell about this. Windows WASAPI has a way for it to tell you when, supp
