I'm not really gonna go to deep into it but my personal feelings are a false positive would be infinitely worse. Those drugs they give you do shit to you. I've been permanently altered from taking them when I was in my adolescenc

I think the counter argument to the space elevator magic material was always that if you could make something that light and that strong... use it to make cheaper/lighter rockets.

This. so much this. Really, the single most important lesson when doing work for any company.

you are being contracted out to perform a service that will be entirely owned by the entity you do the work for. That's the essence of contracting. It's not really any different than working at a company that also owns everything

Don't even get me started on the abusing free software stuff. It's the main reason I left my last company (they wouldn't even let me put out changes/ports to new mobile platforms I made to our originally opened source c

I was wondering about the accurateness of a test against the fuzziness of the diagnoses as well. There really is an absolutely huge gamut in severity and type of mental disorder and it's so so painful. I was sincerely hoping this test

As someone that's suffered from depression for a very long time (and totally messed up my adolescence) this is a very good thing. It is _very_ difficult to accurate diagnose these disorders and then half the time people don't beli

This was the case at one point in time. But only the independently wealthy could afford to do this. As much as I wish your sentiment could be true, it's just not realistic in an economically driven world :/

The circuitry of CFLs (like the circuitry on LEDs) is where the heat is generated (basically the base of the bulb) and can _really_ kill the lifetime of the bulb if they're up in recessed indoor lighting environments.

it's more than just a "per kg" dosing as well. Rats/mice have a very different level of metabolism than humans do just because of scale. Basically there's a fudge factor of 0.75. Of course, the following article g

I don't think anyone here is even remotely doubting that this is anything BUT parallel construction.

oh, so a warrant is a free pass to do whatever you want? apparently "no-knock" warrants that get issued like mints at a dance allow SWAT teams to flashbang a baby and no one faces criminal negligence charges. I guess regular warra

by virtue3 12y ago
it's supposed to be difficult to get "no knock" warrants but apparently they're being passed out like candy on halloween now. Also, busting the door down and yelling "police" counts as "fair warning"

meh, insulated cabin. No big deal. just shitloads more weight and/or space (nasa aero gels would probably be great here). Aka this thing is never going to see commercial flight.

To go higher with tons of weight requires even more fuel. This is a _very_ common rocket science problem and is the reason why almost all space vehicles have stages that drop off. To go high, you need more fuel, to get more fuel up you nee

We understand what you're saying. But you'll have to excuse us if we're still not comfortable with giving you all our information and then having to trust just your word on what you do with the data.

Luckily the mechanics of electric cars are _much_ simpler than internal composition engines. The idea of "drive it till the trans falls out" shouldn't exist here. It is mildly annoying that the entire thing is basically driv

From what I understand about BMW's getting out of the shop for less than <1000$ is a pittance... (at least once that warranty is over) ~700$ for routine maintenance seems like a lot. But they did do a shitload of work on the car (l

I really seriously can't fathom how you can say that async-await isn't absolutely huge... I remember having my brain sufficiently blown when I realized just what it was doing and how powerful of a feature this was.

You sir, hit the nail on the head. So many people focus on open vs private offices and miss the whole point of which one is better for when. Realistically, getting the choice seems to be more encouraging. I'm, unfortunately, at an open

I think you really missed the mark on what they were trying to illustrate. It's not following societies rules for the sake of it. It's following your own internal compass, _and_sticking_to_it_ regardless of if it benefits you now

the government has effectively 0 control over bitcoin. They can control the population in the US (or in this case, NY state) that uses it. But outside of that they can get bent.
