Reminders
Среда, 02 Января 2019 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
The good news is that if the number of work and friend relationships you have exceeds your willingness to do the bare minimum to keep up with everyone's life events and stuff, one way or another that problem eventually solves itself.

Consensus New Year
Понедельник, 31 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
The biggest jump is at 11:00am EST (4:00pm UTC) when midnight reaches the UTC+8 time zone. That time zone, which includes China, is home to a quarter of the world's population. India and Sri Lanka (UTC+5:30) put us over the 50% mark soon after.

Million, Billion, Trillion
Пятница, 28 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
You can tell most people don’t really assign an absolute meaning to these numbers because in some places and time periods, “billion” has meant 1,000x what it's meant in others, and a lot of us never even noticed.

Feathered Dinosaur Venn Diagram
Среда, 26 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
My pet theory is that in real life, the kid at the beginning of Jurassic Park who made fun of the 'six-foot turkey' never got a talking-to from Dr. Grant, and grew up to produce several of the movie's sequels.

Schwarzschild's Cat
Пятница, 21 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
Cats can be smaller than the critical limit, but they're unobservable. If one shrinks enough that it crosses the limit, it just appears to get cuter and cuter as it slowly fades from view.

Rocket Launch
Среда, 19 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
NASA tries to coordinate launch timing with the Care Bears' cloud castle, but unfortunately sometimes collisions with stray Care Bears are unavoidable, so they just try to make the fairings sturdy and hope for a glancing impact.

History Department
Понедельник, 17 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
When we take into account the recent discovery of previously-unstudied history in the 1750s, this year may have been an outright loss.

arXiv

Both arXiv and archive.org are invaluable projects which, if they didn't exist, we would dismiss as obviously ridiculous and unworkable.

FDR
Среда, 12 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
June 21st, 365, the date of the big Mediterranean earthquake and tsunami, lived in infamy for a few centuries before fading. Maybe the trick is a catchy rhyme; the '5th of November' thing is still going strong over 400 years later.

Laptop Issues
Понедельник, 10 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
Hang on, we got a call from the feds. They say we can do whatever with him, but the EPA doesn't want that laptop in the ocean. They're sending a team.

Mercator Projection
Пятница, 07 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
The other great lakes are just water on the far side of Canada Island. If you drive north from the Pacific northwest you actually cross directly into Alaska, although a few officials--confused by the Mercator distortion--have put up border signs.

Middle Latitudes
Среда, 05 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
Snowy blizzards are fun, but so are warm sunny beaches, so we split the difference by having lots of icy wet slush!

Cohort and Age Effects
Понедельник, 03 Декабря 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
Younger people get very few joint replacements, yet they're also getting more than older people did at the same age. This means you can choose between 'Why are millennials getting so (many/few) joint replacements?' depending on which trend fits your current argument better.

Alpha Centauri
Пятница, 30 Ноября 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
And let's be honest, it's more like two and a half stars. Proxima is barely a star and barely bound to the system.

Popper
Среда, 28 Ноября 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
At least, I don't think there's evidence. My claim that there's no evidence hasn't been falsified. At least, not that I know of.

Horror Movies 2
Пятница, 23 Ноября 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
When I was a kid, someone told me the end of The Giver was ambiguous, which surprised me. I had just assumed Jonah died--because the book had a medal on the cover, and I knew grown-ups liked stories where sad stuff happens at the end for no reason.

Update Your Address

This is my four-digit PIN. It was passed down to me by my father, and someday I will pass it on to you. Unless we figure out how to update it, but that sounds complicated.

Airplanes and Spaceships
Понедельник, 19 Ноября 2018 г. 08:00 + в цитатник
Despite having now taken three months longer than the airplane people, we're making disappointingly little progress toward the obvious next stage of vehicle: The Unobtanium-hulled tunneling ship from the 2003 film 'The Core.'
