  • The sun is a deadly laser...

  • TIL.

    I guess it depends on definition of the word "temperature".

    I was referring to the classical definition

    In classical thermodynamics and kinetic theory, temperature reflects the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system, providing a quantitative measure of how energy is distributed among microscopic degrees of freedom.

  • Also its not true that space is "very very cold".

    If you are in space wearing space suite that doesn't radiate heat properly, you could die from the excessive heat. Once dead your body stops producing heat and the existing heat eventually radiate away and your body freeze.

    Space is neither hot or cold because these are property of matter. Since space has very little atoms, it technically has no temperature.

  • damned if you pollute, damned if you don't :)

    I am joking. If sulfate particles are that good we would've sprayed them on purpose. I feel like these would contribute to acidic rain which destroys the oceans and also bad for health and for crops

  • Governors won’t hold Trump meeting after only Republicans invited

    Jump

  • I don't see how would a Republican governor benefit from pissing off Trump.

    Might as well switch to Democrat.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell vows to tell 'unfiltered truth' about Epstein — on one condition: lawyer

    Jump

  • You're suggesting he'd grant her clemency so that she can honestly confess against him?

    I know Trump is dump but still.

    The more likely scenario is that behind the scenes she promises to make Trump look good in her confessions if he grant her clemency. A Win-Win situation for them

  • If you are wondering what the condition is:

    Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President [Donald] Trump,” Markus wrote in a statement.

  • The article doesn't mention why was she deported in the first place and why a judge ordered that she remains.

    Regardless, disobeying judicial orders is becoming the norm these day

  • I agree with all what you said.

    The one thing we might disagree on is that you believe a fairer system is possible whereas I look at all countries in all of the known history and conclude that its not possible to have a fair system where everyone is truly equal.

    I could be wrong of course. I am not a historian and surely there is a lot for me to learn and hence my question about any historic evidence of a successful fair system.

    I come from Egypt and we went through communism period. The president back then decided to take big chunk of land from the ultra rich and divide it among the farmers. Factories were nationalized, big chains and businesses were taken away.

    Result:

    1. When a land lord owned vast amount of land, he had enough money to buy most advanced equipments and most talented and experienced engineers in agriculture but when the land got divided among many poor farmers, they couldn't afford any of that and productivity went down fast and the effect is lasting until now.
    2. Nationalized factories and businesses were given to people who - at best - didn't worry too much if they'd succeed or not and at worse wanted to make as much cash as possible. Add to that people feared of succeeding too much least their possessions get confiscated.

    Egypt used to produce TVs, Radios, cassettes, Cars, .and many others and now it produces pretty much nothing.

    Even China didn't starts to succeed until it gave in a little to Capitalism (not that Communist China was any fairer anyway)

  • I am not very familiar with Australian history.

    Did the native Australians write their history or only have stories that is passed from one generation to the next?

    Jump

  • Both examples represent only a state or autonomous region within a country.

    I understand capitalism is the dominant these days but I was ask more about the entire history of humanity.

    Was there a whole country [ not a city or state ] at any point in written history that prospered on a more fair system?

  • Why This Computer Scientist Says All Cryptocurrency Should "Die in a Fire"

    Jump

  • The article is so long I couldn't finish it all but here is the main highlights I got:

    1. Crypto remove the need for a intermediate entity which is beneficial to drug sellers (his words not mine)
    2. Crypto waste a lot of energy to do transaction validation ( I agree but he completely skipped/ignore proof of stake crypto currencies)
    3. Lot of scams took advantage of crypt (I agree)
    4. some financial institution made use of crypto to bypass laws that protect customers from frauds (sure but that just means laws should be updated to cover crypto not "burn" it).

    I think crypto has issues that need fixing but I also think the article is very biased and attempting to make it look like crypto is strictly for criminals and drug dealers and scammers with otherwise no advantage.

    The news article make it sound like a progressive leader who came up with a genuine idea not a hostage with a gun pointed to her head.
