Not the same kind of thing. In this case, the rabbits have difficulty with the longer nerves to control the hind legs, so only the front legs are usable due to the shorter nerves. Many apes and monkeys are at least partly bipedal, because it frees the hands to manipulate or carry things.

I don’t even remember where I pick up half this stuff, (much of the other half has come from here on Giz, or deep-diving the article they link to,) and I don’t consider myself an expert on it. But I do tend to soak up the stuff I do read about it, and distill the concepts from many sources over the years. I’m just not…

To add detail: quantum computers are measured by the number of qubits they are able to entangle. You could say that each qubit has a probability, but that only lasts during the calculation. They have to be entangled while the calculation is set up, and then collapsed to read out the result. An error is when they…

No, many of the errors come from thermal noise or a premature collapse of the quantum state, not an inherent part of the quantum calculation, but a side effect of trying to do it with less than perfect conditions, or anywhere above absolute zero.

What about how much tension the screws would take if the contraption started to parallelogram to one side or the other? It’s not a pin hinge, exactly, but a lever of 4 inches or so. (Assuming the screws are not right at the edge of the 6" plank crossbeam)

Depends how far they get. With this update, it doesn’t sound like they are getting very far at all. (Unless they tow it, which is not unheard of, but still unusual.)

I also wonder if it would have survived a challenge on interstate commerce grounds.

I wonder if part of the purloined data would be any due diligence that CNA might have done on the policyholder’s security precautions.

they had to name a mediocre horror movie after an awesome astrophysical phenomenon.

WiFi is also not inherently Internet. It can still refer to a local-only network.

I vaguely remember something about how it works, but there’s no way I could use it faster than pen and paper.

Sounds almost like the name of a popular boat engine: “Atomic 4" by Universal Motor Co.

It doesn’t have to be small text. You can use the Windows text scaling to make the letters the same size as your old monitor. But the increased resolution will make the letters smoother and easier to read.

I’m assuming the car uses cellular data to do that, and that’s way above any normal monthly data cap. There’s no way car companies are absorbing the bill for that much data per hour. And about the only case where it makes even a modicum of sense is for a Tesla doing self driving. Or an actual Google Streetview car.

The water is the Cherenkov detector. The sensor just looks for the flash of light that the water emits, and has to do so with very few photons. So from my knowledge, there’s no filter they could use to limit the detections to just Cherenkov events. (It’s why they want to be so deep, to eliminate false events.)

As opposed to the current status quo, where their funding is tied to how many congressional districts they can employ subcontractors in, and it doesn’t matter if they actually finish a project? (Oh and changing priorities every 4 years.)

I wonder if the lake contains any bioluminescent sources that might interfere with the data. Or maybe that’s another reason they chose this lake. (They wouldn’t be able to do it in the ocean, for instance.)

Likely true, but powered flight at least has the advantage of speed and maneuverability. Like if they wanted paratroopers to use them for insertion, they could drop faster and only slow down close to the ground, instead of letting the parachute fall at a fixed rate. But it’s a big noisy heat source no matter what, so…

The contract is between the school and the manufacturer. The law takes precedence even if the contract didn’t specify it.

Probably the author, like many of us, got the game through Steam, so that is where we know how to get the mods from. (They said they had 44+ hours in the game already.) The deal from Epic is only what prompted the article today. Free is a great price, and Surviving Mars is a great game, but I don’t know enough about…
