Ozone in the high atmosphere is a good thing though - the ozone layer. It's only at ground level that it can act as a health hazard.

...or to break those agreements. I imagine the memory of Operation Barbarossa hasn't faded much in Russia. It's hard to imagine them trusting China to move their military into a buffer state without moving further.

"Abandon all dimensional consistency ye who read on" should top every newspaper, magazine and blog. Failing to grasp or properly communicate meaningful scientific units seems to be a constant problem in the media I read, particula

Fair enough. I suppose pointing out that the authors merely omitted "strictly" wouldn't have served GP's point as well.

You should recheck your definitions on convexity. >function f: R^n --> R where for all x in R^n f(x) = 0 This hyperplane is not convex. A convex curve by definition can not be equal to its tangent at any point. Edit: I should specify,

I was basing that concern mostly on bad reports of the Leaf battery, good reports of the Tesla battery (someone put together a data set of range loss vs mileage) and lack of data on the Bolt. I haven't seen data yet on the Bolt. The ot

Since I have an ear here, I have to say I hope the EULA doesn't require arbitration in Delaware like the Basic license does. These sort of terms make this a no-go for us - same as when Atlassian required mandatory arbitration in (New Z

I would consider another EV - for me that's the main I'm looking for in my next car. The reason I'm waiting for a model 3 rather than already driving a Bolt or Leaf is largely a matter of battery longevity. I want to have som

To some extent you're right, but I'd say education is absolutely a part of the problem. Most people (I'm guessing, based on anecdote), at least under 30, have no idea what the potential consequences of not showing up to a cou

FWIW I'm very happy with my new Moto Z series phone so far. I haven't sprung for any mods yet but the phone itself is good. Battery life isn't great without the battery moto mod, but seems typical. For $350 unlocked I'll

The other two were Player of Games and Use of Weapons. Out of the three I'd say Player was my favorite, followed by Weapons.

You seem to misunderstand. Dishwashers use less heat and water than hand washing, not more.

As a Tesla model 3 reservation holder, I wish they would decide they're an electric car company, not an electric autonomous car company. I badly want the former. I'm not interested in the self-driving part until it's really g

I'm hoping they don't respect the plot too much, and improve it instead. Consider Phlebas was by far the worst of the three Culture books I have read so far. It had elements of a great story but IMHO was badly in need of an editor

I'm in that boat. I think a technical bachelor's plus work experience and self-study allows me to get along, but similarly to mr_overalls in the sibling comment I'm going back to school for a master's degree. It seems th

I wonder if you read as much online news about your country of residence as you do about SV, would you think they're fking insane too? Remember that the news distorts, there are trolls all over the internet intent on (and some paid to)

I would suggest trying to use a different term than "social lynching". It is a hyperbolic word that describes actions that are quite out of proportion with what might be called "actual lynching". Loss of a specific, typi

As a geographical outsider, it seems to me that this is more indicative that Silicon Valley runs on a deep amoral cynicism that uses hypocritical marketing messages to appeal to a segment of left-leaning youthful technological tastemakers.

Why do you oppose racial diversity instead of taking no opinion on it? One would think a neutral observer, seeing no difference in efficacy between different types of workplaces, would not oppose one of those types of workplace anyway. The

I dream of the day I'm happy and productive enough with one set of tools that I refuse to switch to another. I still largely feel like I'm wandering the desert when it comes to tooling, where a new toolset looks good from a distan

What about pay per support request? I'd think the people who are desperately trying to get back their email account legitimately are going to be much more willing to pay, say $10, than a free energy crank. Presumably they could set the

I propose a new word to solve this problem: avoision. This word describes a practice that is in all essences tax evasion but may not be technically found by courts to be illegal, or may be an untested grey area legally. I think it's a

If you think tax subsidies have anything to do with EROI (i.e. EROEI) you are very confused. This is calculated on the basis of Wh/Wh. Simple dimensional analysis shows that $ doesn't show up at all in the calculation. Of course t

I'd say it's a moral panic. The response to this very real epidemic of deaths seems to be to moralize about opioids rather than to look for ways to reduce deaths from opioid use. Thus this is a moral panic as much as it is a healt
