  1. Re:Now THAT is amazing on Voyager 1 Fires Up Thrusters After 37 Years (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    The hardest part is that in the movies everybody dies, unless they have transporter beams and gravity generators. And we don't have transporter beams or gravity generators.

    So the hard part is the terrible anxiety of imagining the electrons surviving without a space suit.

    The part that worries me isn't just that they can't seem to figure out where the edge of the solar system is, it is that the conditions there do not match predictions, and yet nobody thought, "maybe we should scale back our predictions about things more than 10 AUs away" or something.

    If we can't predict Earth's radiation belts, and we can't predict the conditions at the edges of the solar system, why do we think we can accurately see 14 billion years away?

    Tesla's subsidy runs out next year.

    They pre-sell all their cars. They won't go bankrupt at all. LOL

    If demand goes down 15%, they're still selling exactly the same number of cars. And making the exact same amount of money per car.

    It is a premium car with nameplate value, but they haven't tried to explore the upper end of the tolerable price. Instead they're building up their manufacturing so they can output more, and keeping surplus demand. Everybody already knows they have surplus demand. It is a brilliant and well-funded growth strategy.

    It depends on the data. If the data purports to be serious, then it likely needs a serious look to know.

    If it is a list of biased sources and he didn't put any disclaimer on it they were biased sources, then no, all you need to say is that it is crap.

    I listed the reasons each data source is problematic, no attempt was made to impeach those claims! What he's saying is that he wants counter-citations. No, when your data is crap it is crap, the person identifying the problems in your data is not expected to provide alternate sources of data. You don't have to whip dicks out and measure; you just check if the data in question was in fact crap! Other people will wait and cite their own data when they're the ones making a claim.

    A dog that sometimes stays upstairs from me for a few days at a time will start barking as soon as the caretakers car passes out of view of the window. The other dog that normally lives there even whines about every 5 minutes when the other one is barking. It just barks non-stop from the time they leave, to when they pull up in front of the house when they get back.

    The more common technique that dogs can manage is to have a square of plastic fake grass inside, and train them to use that. Then you can take it outside and hose it down.

    That's what it usually looks like when dogs are "box" trained.

    If you understood networks a little better, you'd understand that everything has a local name, and most VPNs have a non-internet-routable TLD. That is normal, expected, and predates the public internet.

    It isn't "false" in any way as long as it is known to your DNS server, or otherwise provisioned for routing.

    You might even find that machines not connected to a network often have a network address of localhost.localdomain.

    For one thing it eliminates the need to explain to laypersons, which is most people, how to tell the difference. This reason alone justified it.

    And, I would explain it more, but not if you're so confused you think it is "my" theory.

    It is the most mainstream possible knowledge. You could learn about it in a 100-level business class at your local community college.
