This is what I came to post.

He’d still be constantly employed.

That guy assembling the roof with telekinesis would never not be employed.

The Expanse scene really bugged me. Losing consciousness in space only takes about 12 to 15 seconds, and likely you’d be fading even sooner. So lifting up your visor for any reason seems highly ill-advised.

I just meant in all the cases discussed: win, lose, or draw. No strategy as simple as this, applied over and over, would succeed for long.

There’s some confusion around this, even for me since I mis-typed and said “1. No matter what happens, play the thing that beats what you played.”

“downgrade their own play if they lose and upgrade their own play if they draw” is the same as “change to the thing that will beat what their opponent played” So, one rule.

No, the simplified rule you are proposing is not equivalent to what the article said. For example, if you play paper and your opponent plays rock, then according to the article, your opponent will next choose scissors. And if you choose what will beat the thing they played, you will play paper, and lose. The rule I…

As with the article, no one is suggesting playing a predictable pattern over the long term, just suggesting what psychology indicates is the best move in a single situation.

The article overcomplicates the situation. What it simplifies to is:

Why in the world would they create a video showing the VTOL aircraft taking off *and* landing at airstrips with generous runways? In the scenario they portray, the aircraft serves no purpose and is inefficient.

It’s only a few episodes in, but so far Lucifer is highly likely to be renewed: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/02/23/fox…

The wikipedia page says, “The initial idea for the project dates back to 1996.” If you know where there is documentation otherwise, you should correct the page.

You are correct. I wrote about this here: https://gcanyon.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/lif… and here: https://gcanyon.wordpress.com/2010/06/26/lif…

The wikipedia page for the Eden project says that it was built in 2000, so it wasn’t used in filming Silent Running.

Same here.

Even if you had something like that, it would be vaporized during the impact, and even if it weren’t, it would be vaporized in transit. The only way for this to happen is some sort of Star Trek-style tractor beam and shield combination, to rip the Burj up from its foundation and accelerate it as a whole while…

Nice.

They didn’t show Dubai — that’s the Burj Khalifa coming in head-first toward the London Eye, and obviously it had to have gotten there (in one piece) from Dubai.

Well it’s also physically pretty impossible for the Burj Khalifa to be blown intact from Dubai to London. But it still looks awesome...
