OTOH, you only pay if and when you earn. Meanwhile, German taxes aren't that much higher than in the U.S. once you account for all of the various U.S. taxes (often at 3 levels of government) and the cost of health insurance in the U.S.
The palate shifts as we grow older, de-emphasizing bitter and making excessive sweetness less enjoyable. That's why children hate many vegetables and seem to have an endless appetite for the sickly sweet.
Naturally, that makes children and younger teens unlikely to enjoy coffee. Beer is flavored for the adult palate.
I can think of more good uses. Parent enters an auth code and sends the car (and the kids) to school with the controls locked out. Car drops you at the front door in the morning, then goes and parks itself. When tou're leaving work, summon the car back to the front door.
And a big safety booster, get drunk in the bar, slosh into your car, tell it home, and pass out.
Near as I can tell, his problem is that at age 17 he followed sime very bad advice from his parents, admissions people, and his guidance councilor. Now nearing 60, he's still paying for that.
If you can actually pull it off, it may be better overall to rip the band-aid off as it were. No credit for 10 years and then it's over vs. an unpayable debt for life.
Many much smaller economies than the U.S. manage to offer free education and even a student stipend without breaking. Often they offer universal healthcare as well.
It's sad and funny at the same time when the "richest country in the world" keeps pleading poverty.
You just told someone that was complaining about collegiate boards sponging off of the public that they can't blame the collegiate boards since nobody complains about them. In a comment on a story that blames (in part) collegiate boards for gouging. There seems to be a logic problem here!
That doesn't explain why the interest rates charged are significantly higher than what one could normally expect if they have a co-signor with a AAAA credit rating.
They seem to have done reasonably well for such a low budget not to mention a launch schedule dictated from outside their project (when you're getting a free ride, you leave when the driver is ready). One hint is that the reset after a hardware upset actually restored the craft to functionality after crashing on a software error.
None of the problems they have had would have been solved by an RTOS, but it would have added cost. Sometimes an RTOS is really necessary, sometimes usually getting things done on time is good enough. Since the LightSail doesn't even have engines which may need to be fired with precision, RTOS wasn't really called for.
And yet, they have a workaround for the csv problem, the reset did happen (and they were fairly sure it would), the batteries are now charged and the sail is deploying, and they expected it to re-enter fairly soon after deployment.
This is the test mission and it's quite successful in spite of problems. All with limited experience and a shoestring budget. They have learned a lot in the process, all of which will contribute to the success of the real thing which will fly soon.
It need not be a direct monetary payment. A good gesture would be covering the bills for the ultimately futile medical treatment that ended in death, helping with funeral arrangements (and costs), etc would at least ease the outer burdens on the family while they deal with their loss.
Figuring out how to test a speculation is certainly science.
Really, your question gets to the heart of the matter. Boiled down, TFA expresses concern that physicists are no longer distinguishing between speculation and hypothesis themselves, nor are they appropriately concerned for falsifiability.
Note that there is nothing wrong with speculation. The wrong is in forgetting that it is merely speculation.
When v4 quits working, there won't be anything to buy that fixes it unless v6 is rolled out. Nobody's forcing you though. You can rage quit and go back to the mid 20th century any time you want.
A lot of people are on v6 right now and don't even know it. That's how "hard" it is to transition.
Why are you moving the goalposts. You were claiming that only a very few use the net for anything but browsing on YouTube. I pointed out two clearly huge groups who use the net for other than browsing kitty cat videos.
We know that things will not continue to work fine and there are some apps that work but don't work fine right now. The fix is an upgrade to v6.
I'll bet that when you were a pilot, you would care very much if the techs said sorry, no more birds are going to be go ever again, we're out of parts.
A scientific speculation is really just a plain old speculation. It is something that you wonder if it is true, but cannot test. I suppose the scientific part is if you have some hope that some person may eventually think of a way to test it.
You're skipping a LOT of externalities with fossil fuels including health effects and the costs of volatility every time some crazy dictator grumbles somewhere.
You aren't even refuting anything, you're just disagreeing like some Monty Python sketch.

You know it was a lot cheaper in the '80s, right?

You forget, they had an absolute drop dead date. They could either fly and fix any remaining problems during the mission, or they could scrub.

we can't advance science without Greek!
Agreed :-) I will have to leave that to you.

If that's what you need to believe to save face, OK.
The failure was in the O-ring seal, a freshly made joint. The O-ring itself was in good condition other than being colder than it was rated for.
Nothing to fly, no job.

You can read it online at the library or print a copy. If, for some reason, the feds come snooping around to find out who saw it, they will not say.

Neither of those was due to a reused component.
