If you could hold the heat in with a kiln.
It's all about energy. If your flame burns at 1000C, confine the heat (aka energy) so it can't cool off and the temperature will increase above 1000 degrees. The more energy you dump into the kiln, the hotter it will become regardless of how fast you dump it in. Energy radiates from the kiln at some rate, you have to dump energy into the system faster than it dissipates and the temperature will increase indefinitely.
I was recently helping my parent clear out their basement (no I wasn't moving out) and came across a box of computer magazines from the 80's. It was all tech and nothing about larger social contexts. They were mostly code with word in between listings.
The downfall came in the early 90's when code and circuit diagrams were replaced by words, business takeovers, strategies and product recommendations. See BYTE!
Whenever the subject is gun control in the US comes up, I skip over it the next submission. Same arguments being made on the same sides. People talking past each other. Same goes for most politics stories. Not just this, but I come here for news for nerds stuff, not what political person said about another political person.
Tech is over until the next big thing. Nano technology?
If there are only 20 or so ways to perceive the universe, once they're all plugged into the supercomputer built into your contact lens, really what's left?
Humans make mistakes also. Computers Are Getting Better Than Humans at Facial Recognition
If computers are better at identifying enemy targets than humans, why wouldn't you want a computer to pick the target? Isn't one of the selling points of autonomous cars that they'll lead to fewer accidents compared with human drivers?
Yeah, yawn. Just last week I was bored and looked up transputer on ebay You can still buy them I think their programming language was OCCAM, no? I wish I had all the tools available to kids these days, but a 16k computer took two years of savings.
What if all doctors then chose only the safest patients. Something similar to this came up in a college interview hen I asked the recruiter if more weight was given to students who chose a difficult curriculum vs someone who took only easy classes. I graduated HS with double the amount of required math credits and a year and a half of community college courses and my gpa was lower than people who took the minimum level and no math past first semester junior year.
This is very common and what FFTs are used for. One hypothetical example would be to attach a few hundred chip sized 3-d accelerometers and send back the values of each.
Here's an example, the
ADXL335 Say you have 1000 of these distributed throughout the vehicle. A breaking bolt would cause a small shockwave that would easily be visible as a blip in the frequency spectrum. Each blip has a timestamp and known position, so you just triangulate back to the origin.
Helium-3 is available on the Earth. According to wikipedia, plenty of the stuff.
Current US industrial consumption of helium-3 is approximately 60,000 liters (approximately 8 kg) per year;[28] cost at auction has typically been approximately $100/liter although increasing demand has raised prices to as much as $2,000/liter in recent years.
YES! I'm surprised at how few people talk about this. Why stick around in a boring hostile universe when you can live in a perfect utopia of your own creation?

I don't know about ads (I think I trained my brain to ignore them), but slashdot does exactly the same thing.
While tragic, I'm sure the unemployed were comforted in knowing that their (former) company wasn't profiting off of anyone.
What is an "advanced mathematical subject"? To a second grader multiplication is an advanced mathematical subject.
Ham Radio licenses are a much tighter correlation. About 10% across all countries and cultures.

It's easy to be cynical
That's what you're supposed to do as a scientist. Otherwise we'd still be stuck thinking that the heavier an object is, the faster it will fall.
a force of soldiers that obediently kill at his command, with no chance of moral rebellion within his own force.
Any bomb on a timer fits that description.

Oh yeah, magic. Everything is magic nowadays.
It makes a lot of sense if you are ignorant of physics. Or just plain dumb.

This was my first question when I heard about this program. :(

How could a transmitter know how long a day is? That's silly and naieve.
