Incidentally top Japanese voice actors get paid much less,
Maybe, but go look up a name or two on wikipedia to see how many projects they are doing this year and if you add up what they get from each gig it's going to be quite a bit.
Then invent one and make a fortune because you'll have no competition with anything remotely like it. The FBI only took the polygraph on because J. Edgar Hoover was infamous for taking kickbacks and then instructing the FBI to buy stuff. How an idiot that didn't even remember to bring handcuffs to a stage managed high profile arrest got to have so much power is a sign of corruption in itself.
Answer #1: "Just remain calm. Do math in your head." --- not illegal
Answer #2: "Lie to them and stay calm." --- illegal
Answer #3: "Lie to them and stay calm. Now send me a postal money order for my services." --- really illegal
A better trick would be selling tshirts with the caption "STAY CALM AND LIE TO THE MACHINE", but it would be a few truckloads of shirts to clear five grant.
we can if we put our minds to it make it shrink to fit a smaller budget.
Not when those raking in the cash with scams such as polygraphs use whatever influence they have or can buy to do things like jail the people pointing out it's a scam. See also the TSA and those very expensive scanning machines and a variety of other not very useful things that are merely vectors to channel taxpayers money into the pockets of various cronies and associates.
With respect, dumbed down headlines being wrong is not the same as the science being wrong.
I'm pro-science
Clearly not. When you are backing inexperienced economists and sudoko puzzle writers as your "experts" versus people who have carried out research on a topic such a statement becomes nothing but misleading empty words.
And my views are anti-intellectual?
It goes far beyond that. The view you have been infected with promotes the mediocre layman and confidence trickster well above the practitioner.
Apply some empathy and see how the attacks on scientists would relate to an attack on you by someone without even a high school level understanding of what you do for a living. That may prepare you for this view spreading into your field as it already has with biologists, climate scientists and medical practitioners who have so many people telling them that everything they do is worthless.
Actually I could not because I'm not an expert in that field, just as you could not and just as an expert in that field probably could not do your job either. Such should be obvious. Why are you subscribing to such a stupid anti-intellectual view? I can understand students, layabouts and losers going on about how expertise is overvalued, but why is someone who presumably uses their brain for a living falling for this shit?
Incrementing a parameter in a URL by one has nothing to do with AT&T
One of the examples given by another poster was some poor bastard that went to jail for "hacking" AT&T by changing a URL and then contacting AT&T to tell them they had a problem.
You'd need a different design of RTG with a different radiation source material for it to work at all over a very long time. Currently they decay very quickly (to give you a lot of power for the mass) so it's going to be many orders of magnitude less output between construction and a century later.
Does any employer really care about how low your undergraduate GPA was twelve years ago? If you passed and got experience somewhere for a few years a low GPA doesn't even get in the way of applying for postgrad study in a lot of places.
Sounds like diffusion. Hence those 1950s photocells still working since it's sort of related to melting point, as in stuff with high melting points like silicon has things diffuse through it slowly a long way from the melting point. At least that's the failure mode I know, which is going to be decades to centuries.
which happens when the junctions just straight up burn out
Sorry to be difficult, but how? It's not exactly going to arc at such low voltages.
If copyright causes people to stick to pre-1923 works rather than creating new works out of fear of accidental infringement, it is fulfilling the exact opposite of this purpose
In geostationary they end up bunching up over Indonesia a few years after they lose station keeping ability. Maybe some will run into each other or maybe not before they end up in different orbits.
I think it's safe to assume that the solar cells will deteriorate before
There's still photoelectric light meters from the 1950s in working order with the original cells. Unless the things get hot up there how are they going to wear out?
Neutrons blast the absolute shit out of anything near an intense source of them so nuclear power plants are designed to have some reactor parts replaced after a number of decades. Somebody is bound to take that as a criticism but it's just a thing that has to be done to keep things running like replacing a car battery every few years. Yes there are materials resistant to the damage and that's what's used so replacement can be put off for longer.
I think Snopes had a thing on that. If it was real perhaps it was a US made radar and IFF system, because a British one would never tag something French as friendly. Considering how it was flying very fast at wavetop height direct line of sight would only give a very short time to react either way.
No. As an example steel normally contains iron carbides instead of free carbon in solution. Some are as you state but most alloys used are not just solutions of one element dissolved in another.
Cool stuff. I was working with metal powder. Nitrogen gas is useful stuff to have around. Reducing in a furnace with a hydrogen atmosphere - interesting and you get to keep track of where all the exists are and make sure the corridoors are clear.
Many metal foams so far have been very tough, and there's plenty of tests for it. One of the easiest is to cut a little bar out of the stuff, slice a notch of standard size and shape in it, then hit it with a weight on a pendulum and see how far the weight swings up after it breaks the sample. Tests are often done at low temperatures to see how that material will handle at sub-zero temperatures - not a difficult thing to do since the mid point of the metal bar is the only thing that needs to be cold at the time of the test.
Ability to withstand piercing?
Hardness is very easy to measure directly (it's also usually related to compressive strength, but hardness tests are easy). The old Rockwell test would work well with this stuff - just press a hardened steel ball into the surface with a known weight/force and see how far it sinks in, which via a conversion (which the testing machines typically do for you) gives you a hardness number. Being a composite of air and alloy just means doing a lot of tests over a fair bit of surface until you get a representative number instead of a chance of an outlier.
make it a good solution for ships.
It will probably burn far more than the Sheffield did, but that's pretty obvious given the material so such a problem would be in the forefront of the minds of the designers.

That's a better description than a bunch of whiny virgins that think the world owes them a supermodel to play with.

True. It took me until 2006 to start making the amount of money I was making in 1996 after a switch from engineering to IT.

That's right.
There's some spots that don't get covered with snow. That's where world wind speed records are set.
RTG's decay by design and current ones are not built to run for a century or so.
Capacitors are the go in such devices these days. I don't know how long the current solid ones last.
What's the failure mode of those solar cells?

Nailing down the definition isn't so easy so there isn't anything we can call A.I. yet outside of S.F.
