The world has spent billions to smash atoms together in the hopes of confirming and/or discovering new physics.
We can afford a few hundred thousand to pay a couple of guys to think outside the box and dream.
Not if *this guy* hasn't *personally* benefitted, you can't! Envy rules America.
Don't see why these aircraft couldn't have SMRs on them.
The people who proposed selling
Whiny nerds who thought the Simpsons comic book nerd guy was a role model.
Anecdotal but a big problem is simply going to be getting nurses etc to show up for work. Nobody is going to risk their lives for 25k/yr.
Already my friend is telling me via his wife that NHS nurses are calling in sick and trying to avoid going to work. There will be nobody to treat these people.
If it *weren't* true.
As much as the Creationists seethe and rage at the thought, life apparently was just a happy accident: just the right conditions at just the right time with just the right elements, and something alive was the result. Assuming there was some sort of 'intellgent design' is just indulging in circular logic, because whoever the 'intelligent designer' was had to have come from somewhere -- and then we're back to the who-made-who conundrum.
Maybe it took a trillion trillion sequences of events all over the oceans of Earth for that one viable single-cell organism to be created. We'll probably never know.
The exact order of events doesn't matter. You exist, ergo all evidence you will find in this universe will be evidence of the natural processes that allow(ed) you to exist.
You might as well think of it as procedurally-generated, like No Man's Sky: as far as you look, as deep as you look, you'll only find evidence of past events consistent with you being alive today. So we *know* what's out there, in broad strokes. There will be no big surprises. It's not like we're going to find that there was a red giant that swallowed Earth a few billion years ago, because that would be incompatible with our existence.
Equally, the future is not so interesting either. What happens tomorrow is restricted by what is fully compatible with what happened yesterday, and happens today.
The present is the conundrum, not the past. Why are we here, now, today?
Because voting is an *information problem*, not a "get this chunk of metal from point A to point B" problem.
We want votes to be both anonymous and verifiable. You can achieve this in meatspace by attaching the vote to a physical object, like a ballot, where the ballot itself is verifiable, but whoever marked it is anonymous. You cannot do anything like this in the digital realm: as soon as you digitize data, it is manipulable and endlessly copy-able.
Electronic voting will always be insecure unless you make it traceable.
de móriens obliviscatur
This is bad Latin. Where did you read this? It doesn't make grammatical sense.
The preposition de demands the ablative, but moriens is in the nominative.
What are you trying to say?
You *might* mean moriente obliviscatur, with the ablative of agent.
My advice is to stop using Latin to try to sound intelligent if you don't have the faintest idea how it works.
Start launching them at oil pipelines and coal power plants.
Okay Bill, you twat.
He risked his money and acted on the crazy idea. I thought up excuses not to do it (money, time away from my studies, appropriateness), and did not. (BTW, he has a solid work ethic and is very self driven - he completed med school and his residency at the same time, and did all this in the little free time he had.)
This is a race to the bottom in disguise. By setting up a society that rewards people who do this crazy no-time-for-anything-but-getting-ahead nonsense, you price regular people out of success.
I'm curious, how would you do them differently?
I bet it's not as easy as you think.
Greek dramas are used as source material because the fundamentals of human storytelling don't really change. They're based on our brains.
Don't lump NL in with France's failure, as the article says, the NL cycleway is beating expectations. Probably because cycles and pedestrians are light loads.
Your type of post is genuinely pathetic. You're not thinking of any new or interesting problems. Give it up.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
