My grandpa was adding onto his house at the age of 82. Nearly everything by himself. Other than the cancer that he got and killed him in 6 months, he was very healthy. Because of the way he got cancer, they family got a payout, so there was an autopsy. The doctor said my grandpa was pretty much fit as a 20 year old. My 75 year old uncle still does his daily 10 mile jog. More like a run than a jog, he's fast.
The only way I can currently get my self to attempt to understand how the current Universe may exist is that even enough time, the Universe will enter a state of maximum entropy, at which time, time will cease to exist. At this point, the Universe will no longer experience time as increasing entropy and will enter a quantum state where all possible will happen, but the Universe will only exit being in a quantum state into one of the many possibilities. Rinse and repeat a infinite number of times, and you eventually will create a Universe that can harbor life and entropy will once against be low and start increasing again.
No idea. Just one way I can attempt to wrap my mind around the idea of time not really being "real".
I can appreciate believing in a creator of some sort because it's hard to wrap my mind around anything in physics being infinite and existing outside of time. I can assume these two things on "blind faith" in order to understand the Big Bang, but the notion of "time" and nothing being infinite is hard to just shrug off.
Don't forget relativity and the speed of light, which are directly linked with the correctness of "a universe that is expanding". Why you ask? Because we currently measure far away galaxies as moving faster than c away from us because of red shifting, which is based on the speed of light, and relativity is based on the speed of light. Unless the speed of light is currently wrong by vast margins, we know the Universe is expanding very rapidly.
NASA 3D printed a part recently for an important stressed part on a rocket, it's 1/2 the mass and twice as strong and cheaper to produce. NASA said they could not recreate the part any other way prior to 3D printing, no matter how much money or skill you threw at it.
I think one of the issues of the whole "your atmosphere is now gone", is that a lot of poisonous chemicals are produced, which can still make their way into the oceans, assuming it's not frozen over.
Sounds like a great way to make money. HR recently had us watch a video that included scenarios like this, which mentioned to report these issues to HR, and if HR doesn't take car of it, go to the CEO, and if the CEO doesn't take care of it, it's a fine-able offense and report it to the proper authorities. Even gave us some phone numbers to call for the local city government on how to fine our company.
So every manager at a hospital should be able to conduct all surgeries? What you're saying is something similar to "all software programmer should be able to design their own CPUs."
The average GRB lasts about 0.3 seconds and releases as much energy as if your took 1,000 Earth and turned all of the mass into pure energy. If you're anywhere near that, bad things will happen.
Is there a law requiring the receiving person to identify themselves to the post? What if they also refused to identify themselves? How could the post know with whom they were talking?
I'm in the USA and when I needed to serve someone, I had to have 3 identical copies of what I was sending. One copy stayed with the court, one copy for the sheriff and one copy for the recipient. When delivered, the sheriff would sign off stating that they verified the person and that the person received the papers, the person also had to sign in the presence of the sheriff.
In the end, there is a paper trail covering step of the way.
I've been told before that if I go on a vacation of more than a week, to notify the police and the post. I assume there's a good reason for both to know that you're not at home.
If you look for "Reactive" and.Net, you'll get something like "we implemented Reactive through the Observer pattern" and a bunch of IObserver stuff. MSDN Chan9 had an interview many years back before they even had a beta for Reactive extensions and they covered a lot of this stuff. Reactive is a more specific implementation of the general concept of the Observer pattern.
"Reactive" lends itself well to an async datapipeline message passing design. Highly scalable and relatively easy to understand.
If the insurance was canceled, then wouldn't your friend notice they're no longer being charged for insurance every month? Around here, the only way insurance can "cancel" you is for non-payment. In your friend's case, if they paid insurance up-front, then they could not be canceled. Also, if they were paying monthly and the insurance company was accepting payment, then even if technically canceled, the acceptance of payment means insurance company agrees to still providing service.
I do this with debt collectors. They tell me to send more money or they'll take me to court, but I keep sending them small checks, and as long as they keep cashing them, they are accepting the payment as being enough. They have to actually refuse the payments in order to prove that the payments are not enough.
It's technically a federal crime to access someone else's FB account without permission, even if it's your wife and she leaves a post-it with her password at her computer.
It's not just a lack of helping men, but actively making it worse for them. We went from one extreme to another. The rate of male drops outs is increasing and the rate of females going to college is increasing. A researcher jokingly said by 2040, the last man to ever go to college in the USA will be graduating at our current rate.
He also mentioned that the men in college aren't minding the high female to male ratio, but it is starting to cause family issues as women still want children, but they're having a hard time finding men of equal income since women are catching up and passing men in the middle class. It's not currently a major issue, but it is a growing issue and it grows faster with time.
Don't wait for something to become a problem, nip it when it's small.
The female gender as a whole is getting preferential treatment in all schooling up to at least college. More funding, more attention, more positive support, anti-male pro-female teaching strategies. Boys get punished for being boys, which is starting to create emotional and personality issues in boys.
See how these girls are sitting around talking about their feelings like good little children? Those boys are making fake guns with their hands and playing cops and robbers. Those little terrorists will now be arrested by a police officer, interrogated, then notify the parents after the child is emotionally scared for life, and not allowed to come back to school.

In the past year, all of those have been eliminated. Dark Matter has to be something that doesn't not interact with light in any way except via gravity. I'm pretty sure "gas" interacts with light. Black holes is the only thing that fits this restriction, but the gravitational gradient would be too much, and would require 80% of the universes mass to be tied up in black-holes at the edge of galaxies.
Farms are demanding high speed Internet. Those multi-million dollar tractors that use GPS and need software updates, wifi, and remote access for the manufacture to help fix issues, want high speed Internet at their farms.
Lack of reliable Internet is costing farmers in down time, and Minnesota recognizes this and is running at least 100mb fiber to farms to make the farms more competitive with other states that don't do this. This results a net gain of income for the state via increased exports. The balance sheets show it as money lost, but the reality is that more than enough value is gained to make up for it. Anyway, money is never truly lost, it's just moving hands, most of which is to local companies to install the fiber in the first place.
My grandfather was quoted $4000 to run a coax cable 500 feet to the street
Google Fiber is claiming about $700/house to run fiber thousands of feet from the CO to the house, but not including hooking up and all that. The average cost of a brand new rural fiber roll out, which means all new equipment, is about $3k/house, and that includes EVERYTHING, not just running the line.
The only reason it costs so much for these kinds of quotes is they are one offs. When my ISP rolled out fiber, they already had a trenching crew in the area, so they ran fiber to EVERY house, customer or not. It's a lot cheaper in the long run.

And coal power still produces more radioactive waste than nuclear in addition to everything else.
Clean code is almost always reusable code. Right?

The radiation levels are high enough to strip atmospheres and burn away oceans on most non-gas/liquid planets.
