"while Trump plays chess"?? Did you really type that? I know you're an AC and all, but seriously? I doubt he could spell chess. He will dependably do the bidding of his handlers, but if you think he has any thoughts of his own beyond the lizard brain, you're delusional.
And I assume you have evidence that there was some overlap in membership of those two groups of Google engineers? Or did you forget that a corporation isn't really a single person?
I think saying this isn't important b/c the grid already balances "on its own" is kind of like saying Y2K preparations were a waste of money because nothing really happened. There's a lot of capital and effort that goes into keeping the grid balanced. It's not some kind of Weeble that will take care of itself if we just ignore it.
Edison lost the fight to put a smoke-belching plant on every block because people don't want to live next to those. If Edison had been offering solar panels on every house/block (no waste gases, no fuel costs, no transmission losses), the idea of centralized generation would not have been as attractive. Improved batteries may very well mean the death of the gigantic power plant.
I believe there's an exception (or more than one) to that. For example, if you're an apartment manager, you may be getting a free apartment but I don't think it counts as income if you *have* to live on the property as part of your job.
This seems similar since what you're getting for free (tuition) is required. You can be a student without getting a stipend, but I don't think you can get the stipend (which is for students) without being a student.
Rarely has "Anonymous Coward" fit so well. If, after all that national disgrace has done, you still give him the benefit of the doubt as being a well-intentioned political advocate for the second amendment rather than a populist bomb-throwing nut who will say and do anything for self aggrandizement regardless of (and ignorant of) its effects, you should probably remain anonymous.
"take a vacation with our enemies"? That's either deliberate Trump-like misrepresentation, or plain old stupidity. You certainly made a good call posting it as AC.
Is it just possible that you're not really an expert in whatever field (or sub-field) this was? And that your opinion of it based on a headline may be inferior to the review panel's evaluation of the full proposal? I certainly never claimed "unshakable belief in the government doing no wrong", but I'm also not enough of a tin-foil consumer to be convinced that any research that doesn't lead immediately to higher profits this quarter is either pie in the sky or out-and-out graft.
I find it to be equivalent to trolling whenever someone (usually a red-state politician) totally mischaracterizes someone's funded research grant as "$x hundred thousand to study toad eyeballs" as they try to sum up 15-30 pages of scientific text into three or four words that are as dismissive of science as possible. Contrary to the Fox News narrative, it's generally pretty hard to get an NSF grant, and they don't typically hand them out for ideas that should have gone to the shredder. Also, at my small-potato U, that overhead that the U charges does *not* all go to a slush fund. It is split between the PI (obviously not for his/her personal enrichment, but to be spent on things that would ordinarily be legit for the school to buy him/her), the PI's dept, the PI's college, and the Provost's office. And of course, anything left gets converted into grubby $5 bills and smuggled to Bill & Hillary in brown paper bags.
"Majority Rule" sounds good until you think a little. What is it that keeps 51% of the population from democratically voting to kill the other 49%? It's not majority rule. It's the constitution.
The constitution is what this country has going for it. "Majority rule" is how an angry mob works. "Majority rule, but you don't get to screw the minority just because you want to" is how the constitution works.
From the article: "The NROL-39 Octopus symbolizes the resourcefulness, adaptability, and perseverance of this mission". Just like the old saying: "Resourceful as an octopus".
Aren't you assuming that all of that RAM is being changed as fast as possible, around the clock?
No idea how to get a better estimate, but I can't really believe my PC's DRAM is working full-out nonstop at all times.
Way to start off reasonable there. Easy to see why you're an AC. You can tell yourself whatever you want to make it "feels" better, but the fact is, those horses are injured because people are pushing them to their limits (and beyond) for financial reasons. Would you be against filing negligent homicide charges against a drunk driver if he only killed someone so old that they would probably have died soon anyway?
I do appreciate your useful info about horses dying in the wild. I assumed they lived forever if people weren't involved.
They may be euthanized for humane reasons, but they're injured in the first place for financial (entertainment) reasons. Hard to act like you're really doing them a favor by putting them out of their misery if you're the one that put them in that misery in the first place.

What exactly can you heat to 7700 C without it melting and/or vaporizing?
Not that it's a bad idea, but you can't use the Bernoulli equation to prove it. It's not based on real water.

Yes. They will now be known as 5.
If you do it, post here. I'd bet we could crowdfund a helluva defense team.
I suddenly want to buy hats, ties, steaks, and a crappy diploma from you.
If these were replaced with IR LEDs, you wouldn't see them normally, but you could take a look with a smartphone camera and see them if necessary.
If only we could elect someone who has pledged to change it. Hmmmm.

"I'm not a climatologist, but I'm certain my claimed knowledge in other fields qualifies me to call bullshit on actual climatologists". Got it.
What if the Russians find out he's a racist, uninformed narcissistic orange bloviating dickhead? We need to protect that information!
