My favorite example is CLANG.

That is in fact THE argument. Kickstarter is only legitimately any good to people whose idea is so intrinsically risky and expensive that the people who came up with the idea aren’t capable of shouldering it themselves and there’s no bank or publisher in the world who would back them. Anyone else has access to…

Yeah, but its a lie, really its like one or two guys supporting ALL of facebook’s ‘customer.. I mean products’ and then 98 other guys that hang around the water cooler.

Well, when they are hiring quants to execute flash-trades, I’m sure the facebook page is really going to help them find candidates.

Thats entirely possible, now do the crosses and demonstrate you can reproduce the phenotype outside of this cats genetic background in an inbred-line. You have $3000 left. :)

Anyway, thats all I’m saying - its a pathetically small amount of money to expect to get anything other than a working hypothesis out, and that’s…

YOU NEVER FRIEND YOUR EMPLOYER. (Because they are not your friend - they are a business associate.)

You’re right. Calling someone an HR idiot might be a waste of a perfectly good noun.

I’m convinced some people think the world revolves around facebook as if there are no other ways to show that you have any connections to whatever industry you are in. Lacking a presence is not the same as lacking a facebook page.

You should trust him because of his educational history, his record of past employers, his references and his accomplishments. If you trust him with a million dollar project because he looks good on a facebook page - which you can hire to have professionally done - and made some pithy tweets, then you’re probably a…

It sounds like the type of things a 19 year old kid would say and then 40 years later realize what an overly simplistic idiot he was.

Yes, quick is always better. Be the first off the cliff. You’ll get a head start on the splat.

Its entirely possible to be against breeding bizarre animals and not assume that this one was purposely bred. However, the fetishization of a mutant cat ‘because its cute’ almost leads inevitably to breeding bizarre animals. And if you COULD pin down the mutation, then invariably somebody will decide to introduce it…

Whatever. Penrose is wrong. Period. Orch-or my ass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestra…

“We are starting to investigate the nature ofconsciousness, and some approaches seem to imply a quantum mechanical phenomena produces it.”

Nope. There’s no evidence for that in the slightest. You’ve been reading too much Roger Penrose, who is neither a biologist nor neuroscientist and was demonstrably wrong about…

They already have their way of solving death - its called the transporter trace and they’ve used it in the past (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Unnatural…), just beam dead Kirk into older version of live Kirk. Didn’t Janeway turn into a slug at one point? They fixed that TOO.

Its clear this puzzle is designed for you to make assumptions about getting integer results for divisions to reduce the space of possible answers down to something reasonable, you assume low values in the denominators, and numerators will divisible by those values, but ultimately you are still going to be searching an…

With billion solar mass black holes your proper time before impact on the singularity is on the order of hours (stellar holes and neutron stars you better not blink as far as proper time is concerned). I have no idea how big gargantua was - I suspect there were no stable orbits where the time dilation was so…

There’s light falling into the hole from behind you; there are simulations of this effect on the web. In you frame of freefall across the event horizone things are not totally black, in fact they are about to become infinitely bright.

Nolan consulted about the outside. Inside spacetime in a large hole looks much the same especially to someone in freefall; the event horizon isn’t a physical boundary - a person in free fall can’t even tell they have crossed it. Trur story: the horizon is always in front of them. What happens is relativistic effects,…

I’m not being a jerk and I don’t expect accuracy, but there is math describing it. If they had stuck to some mathematical theoretical depiction I’d have been happier than just darkness with stuff pelting the ship.

Assuming there’s no firewall, you don’t get Spaghettified for a good long subjective time in large black holes because the tidal forces out at the event horizon are relatively small. In fact the time you get spaghettified before impact on ‘whatever the singularity is’ is a constant and IIRC, its about 8ms. Which is…
