Your edits fail to convey the context in which these sentences are written. Sometimes using a double negative conveys information that would be lost otherwise. In this case, the normal response to rms' suggestion would be "that&#x

The energy of the gravitational waves will decrease with the square of the distance, but the amplitude will not. We can detect this in LIGO. This amplitude is also known as "strain". For more discussion check this page: http:&#x2

Because gravitational waves get "dimmer" inversely with distance, while electromagnetic waves get dimmer inversely with the square of the distance.

This is giving me chills after reading Dark Forest. I hope this sparks a new era of SETI with gravitational waves as the medium. I believe a civilization advanced enough would use gravitational waves for communication.

This is actually the best outcome for the FSF. Unwittingly, the FSF might now need to find a leader who isn't a known weirdo/creep who's "genius" people merely tolerate. This might be the best news for FSF fans like

Elon Musk makes stupid statements with confidence all the time. You cant just say "he's joking" in hindsight for everything he's wrong about.

Barring an actual study with data, I don't think their claim is that far fetched.

Write API abstractions that offer baked and templated Sql queries for your specific use case. Flexible enough for future growth, easy enough for every day normal use without inventing a whole new system.

NYT is a propaganda tool, like most mainstream media outlets. Expecting them to have "courage" is a non-sequitur.

Seems like an accurate assessment, wouldn't you say? I mean it also describes the New Yorker perfectly too for that matter

There are good UI solutions to this problem... For example, a dialogue box that asks you to type "Yes I am sure I want to delete all my data, forever". We do things like this for internal tools at work, seems to go pretty well.

Very similar to the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop which gives a good starting point and can be improved on manually in the problem areas where colors are ambiguous.

By app I meant software not a phone app. Secondly, I think the problem of having few experts in the field is a legitimate problem but I don't think the status quo is a good solution either. I think it erodes trust in the scientific com

I think the peer review system is ripe for, as SV people call it, "disruption". Even something like an app that you submit papers to, which then anonymizes them, standardizes formatting and presents them to randomly selected exper

Can anyone recommend a resource that will teach me how to write a compiler for a statically typed compiled language? Pretty much every tutorial and resource focuses on dynamic interpreted languages. I want to learn how to implement a type

What's the alternative? Increase government R&D spend to the same levels as FAANG companies? But will they have enough infrastructure to support that? For example, Tensorflow runs on Google's global datacenter infrastructure -

Some of the best and most impactful AI research comes from Google DeepMind or Facebook AI research. Those ad clicks are subsidizing a whole lot of scientific advancements.

Women value good code-bases more than men. Very interesting.
