That's an interesting comment about the phase delay. My impression as I watched the video was that the rocket behavior resembled the pilot-induced oscillations that can occur when a pilot's responses lag too far behind the events.
The article doesn't contain any evidence that the cost of operating in Australia was a significant part of the problem, but it does contain evidence that the management pissed off a significant part of the company's talent.
I confine my activities to the antisocial media, such as Slashdot.
Here is a quote from the Zakaria article to think about:
'Critical thinking is, in the end, the only way to protect American jobs.'
His implication is that the humanities are a bastion of critical thinking. But when an introductory student is asked to do actual critical thinking where they might be wrong (i.e. introductory engineering, science, and math courses) they often conclude that they would rather go to the arts or humanities where the requirements of critical thinking are not as high.
I broadly agree, but I would like to offer a couple of additional points. Firstly, there are fact-based disciplines within the humanities. Secondly, STEM (especially the technology and engineering parts) can be (mis)taught in a 'how-to' style that is light on critical thinking and in-depth understanding.
That one word pretty much sums up the trajectory of business and politics today. And neoserf for its plans for us.
The summary shows the problem with big data: it's not the data that counts, it's what you do with it. And no algorithm in the world can make you make good decisions.
So the problem with pens is that no writing tool in the world can make you a good writer?
You had me for a second, but this is not a valid analogy. The valid analogy would require someone to say that their analysis has found the pen that will make you a good writer.
"Is it time for more scientists to speak out openly about raising the level of transparency and honesty in their field?"
It has already happened - that's how you got to hear about it.
Just for a moment, I wished the the squeegee guys were back. I would like to see an interaction between a squeegee guy and this car at the exit of the Lincoln tunnel.
True, but this suit offers a libertarian alternative to government regulation, and hopefully will achieve the same outcome.
Who or what runs the legal system? And why would the manufacturers respond with anything other than 'fuck off - we will do what we like' to a judgment against them?
This is not the libertarian alternative. That would be that you can choose not to buy a car until some manufacturer deigns to build one that is secure - or you can build one yourself.
that water could flow on it?
And what accounts for the difference in surface temperature, given that Mars's orbit didn't shift by that much?
Loss of most of its former atmosphere.
"Oh, so RGB={0,0,255} isn't "quantitatively blue", huh?
Horseshit. If there is no red, no green, and %100 blue, then the color is quantitatively blue."
actually no. ask anyone who has only blue cones... they will have no idea what blue is...
So if a tree falls in a forest, and someone, somewhere is deaf, then it doesn't make a sound?
While SCOTUS has made some sensible rulings recently, the lower courts are still making decisions as if nothing has changed.
Enlightened self interested wins every time.
Alas, it is much less common than ordinary self-interested self-interest.
You are entitled to your opinion, but your attempt to establish it as the sole objective point of view is doomed to failure, on account of its subjective basis.
Put it into to Photoshop and eye-dropper the colours. They are quantitatively light blue and dark brown.
But they can perceived as either blue and black or white and gold.
You're assuming proper white balance at the time the photo was shot for the lighting conditions of the environment in which the photo was shot for your "quantitatively" assertion. Unless you were there or took the photo, you cannot say with any certainty.
No, gmbrg is making a statement about the colors recorded in the image file, not about the colors of the dress. The values in the image file are precise quantities.
A motion to adjourn is always in order.
