...isn't Earth what happens when a gazillion "asteroids and comets" bump into each other?
While everything on Earth came from comets (and asteroids, which are basically just sun-dried comets), this isn't about Earth. It is about one minor detail on Earth called Life.
That said: Another day, another proposed abiogenesis mechanism. I am looking forward to the day one of these gets promoted to a model.
There are two kinds of solar systems: "passive" systems collect the
sunlight that hits your home, and "active" systems collect the sunlight that
hits your neighbors' homes, too.
Other than that pointer-intensive 64-bit programs run more slowly than pointer-intensive 32-bit programs because of all the cache misses.
Donald Knuth was wrong. The cache hit problem is of minor significance. Most programs use 10% or less of memory for pointers and 90% or more for data. Most (but not all) of the others have an infrastructure problem. Most often, it is poor choice of language.

wait, so the stories about the men who went inside to stop the reactor, facing certain death, were complete fabricated?
Yes, Achievement Unlocked! You can now get your daily news from Comedy Central instead of Slashdot.
Imagine the media fallout if those 1,600 people were killed by radiation.
Imagine a world where sometimes, people just stuck to the facts.
I look forward to your final report on shark attack testing.
The dark areas are alien letters, it says "Welcome to the Solar System".
I want to know if the fine print says "Except Europa. Attempt no landing there".
Actually, the mere existence of medium.com is evidence that the limit in question has already been reached.

That's the best dice.com performance-and-features slugfest I've read all week. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Main difference being that it never actually burns through to Uruguay, because it stops when it hits the last letter of syndrome.
With friends like Nerval's Lobster and Jeff Cogswell, C++ doesn't need enemies.
Considering (1) the quote provided does not confirm your thesis, and (2) the quote is a misquote, you are doubly wrong and an idiot.
You sound as "completely heterosexual" as Ted Haggard.
Even meteorology and climatology ... are failing to predict the future ...
I bet you die in a thunderstorm.
Anthropomorphism is always trying to get into trouble and ruin other people's lives.
Wha? Anthropomorphism just wants to be free!
Dogs and cats, living together. Jedis and Sith. Scientologists and psychiatrists!

The real thought experiment is rather more philosophical than Betteridge's law allows. It goes like this:
If Bennett Haselton writes a time and motion study on ice sales at Burning Man and nobody gives a rats arse, did he actually get laid?
What article?
Don't you read the newspaper?

Bro I feel your pain. But we were discussing injected-Bitcoin-guy one para up on the main page.
next up, some guy injects it into his dick, then announces his dick will pay you.
On that topic: Bitcoin isn't the only thing this guy has injected into his hands.
Well, that depends on:
(a) your definition of literally: (in a literal sense vs. virtually), and
(b) your definition of definition: (explanation vs. perfect example).
The irony of this situation is left as an exercise for the reader.
It probably is not. Deep inside, the narcissist is aware that his life is an artifact, a confabulated sham, a vulnerable cocoon.
Read The Love-Hate World of the Narcissist. A snippet:
The discard is generally cruel and is based upon the narcissist's projection of his own inner loathing.
Oh and by the way Alex. Laughing at your own jokes? Fantasies of success.
If it is called "How To Win Elections and Influence People Through Populism and Fear Mongering", then yes.
Everybody knows Hans Reiser. I'm impressed by the Dan Quayle connection: "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
Yeah. Just long sentences.
