The base sentence for involuntary manslaughter under federal sentencing guidelines is a 10 to 16 month prison sentence

https://study.com/academy/lesson/concurrent-sentence-in-law-definition-lesson.html

When a defendant's convictions are all connected, the judge may impose a concurrent sentence rather than a consecutive one. For example, if the defendant robbed a convenience store, he may be convicted of robbery 'and' burglary, in which case a judge may find a concurrent sentence appropriate for the 'continuing course of conduct'.

Since it is unintentional and all counts are a result of the same action and the defendant ticks two out of the three "rich white woman" boxes for getting out of jail you can expect 10 month.

Over the last 300m years the ocean PH has averaged around 8.2
Today it is 8.1
ref: https://www.nationalgeographic...

the EPA recommends municipal drinking water be kept between 6.5 and 8.5

Ref: https://www.epa.gov/dwregdev/d...

If we continue this break-neck pace, the oceans will leave the EPA recommended range for municipal drinking water shortly before the earth is consumed by the sun.
(300m*16=4.8b Red Giant ~10b - current age(4.6b) = 5.4b giving us roughly 600m years between ocean ph dropping below 6.5 before the sun is a full-sized red giant)

You clearly don't understand how trends work:

Jesus how long did you have to wait for that first post. You seem to fail to grasp the better the first post, the more likely a paid US government propagandist. Yeah the US government staged coups and murdered millions, when Russia does that in the US, then complain otherwise STFU. The US deep state is disgusting, murderous filth, held in contempt globally by all reasonable people.

Don't first post morons, you makes you look really stupid and like you have no idea what so ever about the history of /. but keep in up, the stupid just exudes. Bloody arts students, always a pain. I will always remeber in university how the quite and peaceful the STEM https://study.com/academy/less... and how chaotic and noisy the arts and social sciences were, it was always peaceful to travel across to the STEM side. But hey, keep it up first post propagandist, woo hoo, first post, ijiot.

"They said we'd never achieve $FOO, and then we did. This proves we'd achieve $BAR" is a fundamentally flawed argument, regardless of what values you assign to FOO and BAR.

Except in cases where FOO and BAR are essentially the same thing, but BAR is a bit further on the scale of size and complexity than FOO,

It's debatable whether "Win at Go" and "Win at Starcraft" are the same thing separated only by complexity, but let's be generous and assume that it is. We went from needing 30 x 120MHz CPUs to win at Chess (Deep Blue), to 1202 CPUs and 176 GPUs to win at Go (Alphago).

IOW, we used almost 1000x more resources to win at Go than at Chess.

For humans, at least, Go is roughly 2.5 times more complex than Chess . To address the 2.5 extra complexity going from Chess to Go, we used 1000x extra resources.

Starcraft, for humans at any rate, is a lot more than 2.5 times more complex than Go.

You're assuming that the required computational power/problem-solving scales log(x), like in this chart: as we get closer to the maximum computational power of the universe we'll solve more and more problems.

I'm more inclined to believe that the computational power/problem-solving chart looks like this (the right half only, obviously). IOW, the easy problems scale well, the hard problems are impossible.

There is no such thing as an actual engineer. There are many different engineering fields, and not all of them are "professional engineers".

Computer Engineer is the name of a degree, they tend to be programmer types with more hardware experience. These are the types you have code your drivers. They tend to have experience with actual electronic circuits, but this is not necessary.

Just because you think that only professional engineers (the type who are insured and certified) are the only type of engineer, doesn't mean it is true. This is an issue on your end, not the "coders who call themselves engineers".

No, you're making false assumption. I never said anything about the probability of heads (or tails) coming up 6 times in a row.

Let me explain this again. If you ever have the question of "should I use one-tailed or two-tailed probability distribution in this statistical analysis," here is a clue: always use two-tailed unless there is a very compelling argument not to.

The question is, what are the probabilities of calling a coin toss correctly 6 times in a row.

And two people called the coin toss: Sanders and Clinton. The odds of one of the two of them calling it correctly 6 times in a row is one in 32, not one in 62.

Therefore, without loss of generality, take a satellite in equatorial orbit at 5 miles/second and fire a burn to the south, delta-V 1 mile/second. This changes its velocity by adding a northward component to the eastward velocity. It is now in a stable orbit, same as if it had been launched. The orbit is not going to move without further acceleration, and it's nowhere near a polar orbit.

What you are not getting is deltaV = acceleration; under Newtonian Physics things don't accelerate unless acted upon by a force. When something faster it is accelerating, when something goes slower it is still an acceleration.
When you start your burn your velocity vector is 5mi/S.( 0 degrees),
  finish your burn your velocity is 5mi/S.0degrees + 1mi/S.90 degrees which = 5.099mi/S.11.31degrees
  15 seconds later your velocity is still 5mi/S.0degrees + 1mi/S.90 degrees which = 5.099mi/S.11.31degrees, therefore you have 0 deltaV (delta = change), i.e. your velocity has not changed, but your moving to port at a steady 1 mi/s or 15 miles during that time period.

You could have just as easily pointed you engine at 45 degrees starboard and gone to 6.0828mi/s.9.4623 degrees and burned for the square root of 2 and increased your altitude at the same time.
