Plants growing in lunar solar would have been a bigger deal, with a lunar night being about 14 earth days.

It doesn't matter what should be, only what is.

>"The Slack exchange from one junior staffer to a friend absolutely doesn't reflect our values or how we operate."

... even if it is true.

And the value of a sports over/under bet is a well defined function of the odds and final score. Any change in the value of that bet happens after you've contracted for it. Just like options, one could certainly "sell" the bet as the odds change the value. When the game ends or the option expires, you've either won or lost. And you seem to not know what "contingent" means.

I see your confusion. You don't know what options are.

>defines gambling as "staking or risking something of value upon ... a future contingent event not under the person's control or influence."

Like buying or selling stock options.

Dupe

> a senior justice official said the deal will drive down prices by giving both artists and consumers more choice.

It's not clear if they're deluded/ignorant, or simply lying.

>Like the ones used for hundreds of years prior to GPS?

Sextants can provide reasonably accurate latitude, weather permitting. Longitude, which requires accurate time, not so much. Yes, literally "hundreds of years" ago, barely. The book Longitude is an interesting read.

I believe the US Navy still requires officers to have knowledge of the sextant.

Ed, man! !man ed

>Who cares if the sun is directly overhead at "noon"

That's what it's been for millennia, until the railroads introduced "standard" time, which kept the same intent - 12 PM is as close to noon as is practicable.

It's idiocy to move wall clock an hour from that. It has absolutely no benefit. If unlinking wall time from Sol, everyone might as well just go to UTC.

Form Energy makes these "100 hour" claims, acting like it's an advantage...

Delivers 100+ hour duration required to make the grid reliable year round, anywhere in the world, across all weather conditions. ... Allows utility operators to meet power demand with stored energy over time horizons previously not achievable.

But there's nothing preventing, say, lithium-ion energy storage from providing power for 100+ hours, it's just a matter of how much storage you have and how fast you use it. Is that "100 hours" actually a limitation they're trying to spin? Can their batteries not be discharged at greater than a 0.01C rate?

He's not worth the effort. If he wants to refute it, he simply has to get an article published in MIT Technology Review explaining how AI works.

You're an idiot. Learn to read.

>why bother knowing at all how things that we humans invented work?

It's not like anyone really knows how AIs work. We'll just let the AIs program the AIs. What could go wrong?
