Summary says of 44% all employees at Apple feel like imposters and we know that over half of the total are marketers or lawyers. Suddenly the headphone jack removal/Apple Watch/cordless mouse with charging plug on bottom/etc. all starts to makes sense.

Seeing as it took Intel so long to go from i3 to i5 to i7 processors to only now releasing i9s they have a long way to go to get back to the glory version number days of i386.

In all seriousness though, I've kind of given up on making sense of the processor/GPU models and just paste it in Google to see the specs and compare that with another one I am already familiar with.

Someone must have held the rocket the wrong way.

Others have already pointed out the impractical nature of this investment, but the idea could see niche applications. For example in remote warehouse type arrangements for autonomous vehicles moving around a shared space or travelling show go-karts that never need to stop.

Makes a lot of sense from a PhD in physics holder like yourself -- I mean, why go into all the nitty-gritty details on things most people will never understand just because a concept may be tough to understand properly?

As a fellow student of physics and knowing that Wikipedia is open to all I will be suggesting this more broadly comprehensible revision:

Electroweak interaction:
Once upon a time there were separate ideas for how small particles would interact with each other if they were charged up differently or becoming unstable because they had too many parts to them spinning around a centre bit.

The "elecroweak interaction" is the combination of these things into one combined thing. A particle may be charged ("electro") or weakly able to hold on to all its parts ("weak"). If you put the 2 together you get "electroweak".

Ironically, if you worked less you mightn't have to apply "topical" / "asses" so much.

(yes, I know we have standards here on /. – but this was asking for it)

The parent comment seems particularly insightful and reminds me of former USA president Barack Obama's detailed description for the cameras of the operation to take out terrorist Osama Bin Laden. The idea if I get it right was to project that this country was so far ahead of others it could say openly what its intelligence services were doing. I wonder if this might ironically make it weak long term if this keeps happening and other countries don't do this.

I'm only distilling what was in the linked to article from Scientific American.

The idea is that by burning the coal you are left with a concentrated fly ash that contains a higher density of radioactive material that was present already (i.e. by burning the not as radioactive part). This is then released into the environment and adds less than a millionth or something like this to the background radiation (note this is not uniform over earth) -- which would probably be the equivalent of moving towards the equator by a very small countries worth in Europe like Luxembourg. But what do I know, I only have an honors in computational physics.

Because it mainly contains materials unsuited to fission power (such as radon or undesirable isotopes of uranium/thorium) and in low quantities. In the article the GP linked to it says that the exposure to the general public from coal flyash is 10 times more radioactive than from a similar generating capacity nuclear power plant, but also is much less than the background radiation you would get anyway by being alive on earth.

Let me guess, all that practise reading the various Cisco switch manuals in German front-to-back came in handy at your job interview.

Yeah... you may want to start scrolling down the Google images of Banshee and look up CMF (see definition 2 and my humble apologies in advance) before you recommend this to your boss as a safe substitute for Drupal.

I know some people might argue that this is an unfair generalization from one developer to the whole project; that Drupal insn't entirely about screwing you in gratuitous and unpleasant ways you can't escape from. Oh, who's kidding -- this was their plan all along.

This reminds of when I once bought an external USB card reader with "automatic cable management", which is what I was after. In the box on the side was the cheapest and nastiest plastic spool I've even seen.

This is one possible outcome. However, surely it is more likely to be that once you connect with your respected fellow humans in the new Internet of thoughts images of breasts and cocks come popping into your head.

As others have pointed out your "megawatt" should be a kilowatt, but also you have not factored in full costs such as any battery storage or electrical starter unit, etc. over the 20 year period

Solar power is nice to see improved, but ain't going to make all the cool things from science fiction a reality (like wireless power and the like). It has long been a matter of personal opinion of where we should go as humans with consumption of resources such as power, either towards a more "sustainable" society which uses less and is "able to live within its means" or using more power and hoping that new technologies make life better for future generations. I would personally like to see much greater power generation and take some solace in that both approaches will likely be tried at the same time if history is anything to go on.

Good news for you then as there are plenty of artificial tree ideas to do the job.
