I was curios at how Musk's rocket stacked up to the rocket that sent us to the moon. From New Atlas:
the two-stage Falcon Heavy has nine Merlin 1D main engines in each of its first stage elements burning supercooled liquid oxygen and kerosene to produce 5,548,500 lb of thrust. Then the second stage takes over with its single Merlin 1D engine to punch 210,000 lb of thrust
That's remarkable when compared to the Atlas and Ariane rockets of today, but now let's look at the Saturn V. Its S-IC first stage has five Rocketdyne F1 engines that, when set loose, generate a staggering 7,610,000 lb of thrust as it burns kerosene and liquid oxygen.
Then comes the S-II second stage with its five Rocketdyne J-2 putting out 1,155,800 lb of thrust from a mix of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. But where Falcon Heavy has already used up its stages, the Saturn still has its S-IVB third stage and its single J-2 engine that can manage a respectable 225,000 lb of thrust.
Lots of other interesting information in the article such as size of payload and cost.
I'm flabbergasted that there are so many finger-wagging posts out of the gate chastising everything from anthropogenic global warming to Western Civilization to the propensity of an advanced society to destroy itself. I just simply feel excited for the archeologists--how thrilling it must be to make such a discovery and the excitement over planning next steps to learn more.
Here's an article that has a few paragraphs of his followup tests in the weeks following the injection.
He opened the documents sent from the lab and frowned slightly as he read. Then he laughed. "Alright, so - yeah, this was not what we were hoping for."
According to the test results, Roberts' viral load rose from 28,800 on week two to 36,401 on week three - still low levels, but not the desired results. His count of CD4 helper T-cells - the immune system cell that HIV attacks - was higher than he'd ever seen it, but there was no way to know what that meant.
"More data is necessary," Traywick chimed in from off-camera. Then he sat down next to Roberts, joking: "We didn't kill you."
Isn't that the apropos analogy? Let's do something as simple as keeping English the same, except for making its spelling phonetical. Any takers? An argument can be made that putting the current and "improved" version of English side-by-side, the phonetic version makes more sense.
Inertia, legacy, and culture are as much a part of C as the BNF diagrams are.
I'm not really sure why you're being moderated flamebait. You're the first person in any of these threads (at least that I've seen) who's provided any evidence (whether its good or not is another argument) to try to refute the memo/manifesto.
Indeed. The irony is that I am sympathetic to Damore's memo. I also regard PLoS highly, and therefore felt it worth sharing their viewpoint. I'll hazard that Slashdot moderators skew male. Their flamebait moderation of a contrarian position affirms Google's policies and undermines Damore's position.
There are so many software engineering jobs that offer more mental challenge, more reward in terms of mental stimulation. And when he gets older...I doubt he is even saving for retirement.
Our hit ratio is way too high right now,” Hastings said. “So, we’ve canceled very few shows I’m always pushing the content team: We have to take more risk; you have to try more crazy things. Because we should have a higher cancel rate overall.” It’s not that Hastings wants Netflix to purposely make shows that are unsuccessful, though. His logic: By taking big swings, “you get some winners that are just unbelievable winners, like 13 Reasons Why. It surprised us. It’s a great show, but we didn’t realize just how it would catch on.
Hillary claims she lost because of Trump's superior data operation? FiveThirtyEight a month before the election: "Clinton has more than twice as many field offices as Trump nationwide (489 vs. 207), and her organization dominates Trump’s in every battleground state."
In addition to implementing several ideas posted above, I have a policy in my syllabus that if an exam score is <=30%, I reserve the right to lower all project scores to the exam score. A student must essentially be learning nothing to score that low on my exams (many blank answers, others answered with random snippets of code, etc.). This catches those who turn in projects that are stellar, which an impossible feat given their exam performance.
Exceptions are made for those whose project scores are already poor, and those who are regular visitors to office hours--evidence of their earnest effort.

From the interview (scroll to third subtitle).
