Tell him about Mars, Venus, Jupiter and how they follow orbital mechanics. Tell him how by noticing small errors in movement they were able to find Neptune (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune#Discovery). Tell him they noticed the same thing for Mercury but couldn't find any new planet to explain it. Tell him why: Mercury is so close to the Sun that time slows down.
Then, tell him about GPS and how those very precise clocks are faster than the ones on Earth. Without Einstein, we couldn't have a GPS.
Well there is the fact that to make maple sap move in quantity you need freeze thaw cycles. If temperatures warm sufficiently such that the temperature doesn't dip below freezing then you cannot make maple syrup in meaningful quantities.
This.
A day of freezing night / melting days will produce more than a week without crossing the melting point.
If I build a house, I can will it to my ancestors, it will remain ours in perpetuity unless sold at some point.
Not if someone else builds a similar house elsewhere. Then your house will vanish in a puff of logic. This is why there ought to be a law to stop thieves from duplicating houses.
But the article says: “Over multiple years, we all change. Things we said in 2011 may or may not represent us today.” And another point: people make mistakes, people should not be judged on their mistakes but on how they react to them.
Speaker for the Dead.
As you say, maybe we just just accept nobody is perfect. Everyone evolves over the year to become something different, you will constantly disagree with your younger self.
Sure, you are too sick to work and your company must train a replacement. Sure, you couldn't be there for your kids, and they started their lives with an handicap.
But still some say there was no cost for companies and no cost for society. Ignorance is bliss, and willful ignorance will make you rich.
Assuming going twice as fast costs 4x, you should compare 8 hours of business class to 4 hours of 2nd class. If your personal space is 3-seat big, there's no pressure.
Excellent. We have excellent chocolate, the best. Trust me, I know chocolate. We'll have the top chocolate people in our administration and we're going to make chocolate great again.
Your chocolate is so good that our 20% chocolate is as good as the others 70% ones.
Wrong. Pretty much everyone subvocalizes. Don't know why the summary didn't just call it that.
You don't subvocalize "equal-equal", you interpret as "i is zero". You don't subvocalize "size_t...size()", you interpret as "loop i over itemList".
You "subvocalize" the meaning, not the printed words. That's pretty much what the OP is stating.
In fact, code is not read sequentially but random-accessed as your mind builds the ast. Or at least whatever part you need to understand. An expert can glance at a full page and know what it does without "subvocalizing" anything at all.
Slashdot Mirror
Or after. Maybe the roommate wished to be reincarnated as an urinal.
What's wrong with having WHOIS point to a middleman who must forward to the owner?
There's no privacy issue that way.
I think people tend to dislike this hypothesis because it reduces the marvelous (us) to the mundane.
Which is silly, since the marvelous is the result of the mundane.
What is more mundane than z' = z^2 + c?
What is more marvelous than Mandelbrot set?
So... an aristotelian theory?
A return to sympathetic connections and idealized essence.
Show him the failure point of Newton.

Anyone who regularly uses maple syrup can easily distinguish it from "post syrup". It's as far from raw sugar as honey.
If you only want to sweeten your coffee, you might as well pick the cheap stuff.
The paper system is far to easy to control and rig.
Paper trace is the hardest thing to fake.
Someone is trying to screw a nail because he doesn't like hammers.

The reason math won is that you don't need to dampen spike if nobody creates spike.Theory vs reality.

I guess those things are the reason one bright mind invented 'Butlers Jihad'.
Erm...
The Butlerian Jihad, as in "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind." ?
You mean the killer robot conspiracy started by Edison and fought by Tesla?
What's the largest denomination?
How thick is $10,000 in that denomination?
Can you mail (let alone email) an inch thick of 100 dollar bills?
And that's a small amount.
Who cares if vampires suck your blood.
Sure, you are too sick to work and your company must train a replacement.

Mu. The length of rope used doesn't change the way the spinning top wobbles.
The OP was talking about the 20 years it'll stay in orbit, not the launch phase.
It would be so easy to shut out scalpers by selling tickets through dutch auctions. If you grab them all early, you pay a big markup.
Hillary paid for the Trump dossier
Hillary Hillary Hillary. The losers can't stop talking.
Finally I said "OK. Nonsmokers, point to the smokers."
This is so evil. I love you!
Who is stupid enough to bring a "work" computer into the United States?
Make clear that federal requirements necessary for human operation, like steering wheels, won’t be required for self-driving cars
That seems normal. Where's the beef?
Let's all become flat-earthers. If we believe hard enough there won't be any pesky curvature left.
Assuming going twice as fast costs 4x, you should compare 8 hours of business class to 4 hours of 2nd class. If your personal space is 3-seat big, there's no pressure.

By many, it is considered a security breech.
