I'm just saying that it's funny that human spaceflight gets as much heat as it does given that the DoD has the economic equivalent of a dozen Apollo programs gathering dust because they were built for a scenario that's never going to happen without a time machine and some sort of Robo Lenin.
...because the energy involved in launching an Earth-assembled probe directly into deep space is by physical necessity equal to or less than launching that probe's parts into space, stopping them, assembling them, launching the probe's fuel, then launching the probe into deep space.
I was thinking more like "the rod's basically just a unit experiencing a certain neutron flux from the rest of the reactor and is at a certain temperature" but you're right, it's not a reasonably independent state.
It's a commons. Like the National Parks service, it's something you run at a billions-of-dollars-a-year loss for in exchange for being able to have those things available as a shared good.
What it's doing is unprofitable, but at least it's getting used. The DoD's spending on advanced weapon systems with no practical applications beyond fighting a land war with an inexplicably reassembled and equivalently armed USSR would probably pay for it several times over.
However it's not something private industry would get into, ever. "Less unprofitable" isn't a business model.
You're misremembering Chernobyl I think. They disabled various safety systems in order to perform some tests that did not strictly require that those systems be disabled. It was never their intention to allow the reactor to enter an unsafe state, though. And in this instance, they're not working on a living reactor.
They don't figure it out by blind comparison but analytically. The instrument in question gives you information on the chemical composition of the pigment, which in this case indicates it's a melanin derivative. Melanin derivatives are dark brown or black in colour. This tallies with the fact that the colour organelles are the same shape as modern melanin-containing ones as opposed to carotenoid-containing ones, and the types of organelles are so evolutionarily ancient that they've probably been that shape since long before these organisms existed.
When scientists test obvious assumptions, you get people whining about how we should've known that anyway. When scientists don't test obvious assumptions, you get people whining about how we can't possibly know for sure.
You know what? If you're so good at figuring out what scientists should do, you do it, and I'll go use my advanced degree to play the markets.
It's all I can do not to stab someone in the eye with a pen when I see them reading those stories in front of me on the bus most mornings.
If they're doing what I think they're doing and modelling the early stages of a meltdown when individual rods are overheating, then the nonlinearity shouldn't be an issue. The fuel rods in a reactor are, at that stage, reasonably independent of one another. It won't tell you much about what happens when the fuel all melts and starts pooling at the bottom of the reactor of course.
Being a major industrialised nation with a nuclear power program, Japan has no nuclear research facilities so they're going to do it in downtown Tokyo.
There's no reason to suppose they "must eventually decay". I expect that all that happens is that you have a vanishingly low concentration of protons and electrons near the surface (due to buoyancy) that turn over back into neutrons by the inverse process.
It's not quite an "open-access digital library": they scan and host old material from some journals with their permission, but a good deal of the material they index is still paywalled.
You know that every tech company has version n+1 deep in development and version n+2 at the experimental stage in the window before version n ships, right? It's a tendency which is remarkably insensitive to development timescales, be it a yearly phone or a half-decadal console.
AMOLED is perfectly capable of good colour accuracy these days. The current Galaxy has a screen that rates as well as Apple's last generation of IPS screens.
Their solution here is that the frame is shown on-screen for significantly less than the full 33ms, then the screen blanks, so you're not getting out-of-date visual information. The flicker rate is high enough that you don't notice the gaps.
Figure out how you can recover your password for every service and system you use, at the time when you first set up the account
1) You have every chance of just plain forgetting the password in the first place. 2) It's your way to recover your account if it's compromised. 3) It's a potential vulnerability in the first place. 4) It's almost impossible to figure out how you have things set up if you didn't sit down and lay things out properly in the beginning
If all your accounts send their password recovery emails to the same Gmail account, and that account doesn't have TFA, or it has TFA and you've never bothered to print off the master codes, you're saving yourself very little effort in exchange for the distinct possibility of completely screwing yourself over at a later date.
They copied the cosmetic elements that exist soley to say to the buyer "this is a Blackberry". Almost by definition that's "passing off", in British legal language, attempting to mislead a customer as to the product's origin.
Dark matter's really unambiguous in the experimental data. You need a lot of theoretical solipsism such as weird new forms of gravity to write it back out of the physics.
His calculations are nonrelativistic! Wouldn't that make the satellites seem to be going unphysically fast, implying his stronger-than-accepted value for the Earth's mass?

You have to perform orbital insertion, or the payload will return directly to the launch site by simple physics. That costs energy.
So they're sinking $1Bn into just one AI, and must be spending even more than that on AI in general.

Unfortunately free markets roll downhill, and while nuclear isn't as far to climb as solar or wind, it's still uphill.

Why? Your visual system updates at something like 70 times per second, 60 Hz is basically enough to saturate it.

Yes, it's quite categorically not something that the researchers concluded. Here's a non-bullshit version of the story from the BBC:
