  • Yes, but you won't be okay with the two hour treadmill sessions after drinking 100 beers.

  • The vacuum is only ≈3K, or -270.15° C, but a vacuum is not particularly receptive to heat dispersal.

    This is true for all of the black parts of the sky.

    It is not true for that big yellow ball that shines on the space station half of the time. That big yellow ball is as bright and hot as a hot desert day on the surface. Daylight can raise the vacuum temp up to +250 or +300 C. And it also means that the night time temps don't cool down all the way to 3K.

    So the ISS is continuously exposed to these thermal cycles on the outside. As a heat load these should dwarf any marginal heat loads introduced by whatever recreational drugs. And the station has to have radiator capacity handle it all plus margin. Remember, too, that the ISS crew also has to do hard exercise 2 hours per day.

  • If we're using NASA as a reference Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were in space for 286 days instead of a planned week long mission.

    They did get resupplied with additional clothing and personal effects after a few weeks.

    Coincidentally, there is no laundry or shower on the international space station.

  • This chart is easier to understand if you make the following substitutions:

    • Toy Lang --> high level language (except brainfuck really is a low level toy language)
    • System Lang --> low level language
    • Obsolete Lang --> old programming language, regardless of obsolescence status
    • Nu Lang --> newer programming language

    After understanding this construction, I fail to find any humor in this.

    Why is ECMAScript here and not JavaScript?

    Among other things, "JavaScript" is a trademark of Oracle.

  • "pucker up" also sounds like the ordinary g straining maneuver that is trained to current fighter pilots.

  • Card counting can conceivably provide information, but it's not likely to because the deck is shuffled for every hand and there are usually a bunch of cards you never get to see.

    Card counting works in blackjack when many hands are dealt from the same deck or shoe, and discards are placed face up so they can be counted.

    The more cards you've seen, the more information you have about what's left in the deck.

  • Even if you went to some asteroids that have low escape velocities, a spacecraft still has all of the mass of a spacecraft--probably a few 1000 kg. So you probably can't get it going fast enough, even if you can escape yourself by jumping.

  • Python!

    Jump

  • Optional type annotations started to enter Python around 3.8, and they have really improved the experience. Even if nothing enforces the annotations, the IDEs can pick them up and show them to you in all the usual places.

  • The current situation with most commercial airplane equipment is that:

    • It's triple redundant (second backup) if a failure would put the ship at serious risk of total hull loss or fatal injury to crew.
    • It's double redundant (just one backup) if a failure doesn't jeopardize the whole ship, but there is a risk of serious or fatal injury to passengers. This also applies if system failure significantly increases or burdens crew workload.

  • Texas Senator Says Trump’s FBI Agreed to Help Track Down and Return Runaway Democrats

    Jump

  • If your work is the Texas House of Representatives, the House sergeant at arms or his designee can actually arrest you and drag you back to work. This is authorized in the Texas Constitution, and in the rules of the House.

    This power does not extend beyond the territory of Texas. The US Constitution specifically only allows extradition between states for crimes, which this is definitely not. The FBI enforces federal laws, and it has no authority to enforce the rules of a state legislature.

  • Not my problem

  • That number is at the high end of what I usually see for consulting work. The high hourly rate has to cover all of the HR and accounting overhead, invoicing, marketing, business development, and the opportunity cost of short term engagement vs. long term engagements.

  • Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329M verdict

    Jump

  • Out of the $329 million verdict, Tesla owes $242 million, and the driver of the car owes the other $87 million.

    $200 million punitive damages are charged to Tesla alone.

    $129 million in compensatory damages covers harms for one death that injured two surviving plaintiffs, and one severe injury. The compensatory damages are split 33% to Tesla, and 67% to the driver according to the jury's finding of who is at fault.

  • Is there a process by which courts check access logs of a server to verify the data hasn't been tampered with?

    Jump

  • Speaking for the United States, any document or other exhibit is only admitted into evidence when a witness gets on the stand and testifies under oath as to what the document is. So if someone wants a court to believe that, say, a computer log is authentic, they have to produce a witness to testify about the authenticity. This is where anti tampering measures can be discussed, if relevant.

    That witness is then subject to cross examination, which can reveal any holes or gaps. Cross examination can also be used to impeach the credibility of the witness themself.

    Once an exhibit is admitted into evidence, the trier of fact, either a judge or jury, will assign a credibility level to it based on the sum total of evidence presented and their own common sense.

  • DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES: Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.

    1. Trump's in the files, but they probably don't have the stuff from the wildest conspiracy theories. So there's going to be a let down no matter what.
    2. There's a lot of victims in those files who deserve some protection and privacy. Redactions take a lot of manpower, as we've seen with this 1000 agent effort. That manpower could be spent on going after live criminals.
    3. Dems in the files too.
