I know. That statement was weird. In just a few lines of code I can chew up all available ram on a machine.

Don’t worry, we all will. We all came from a sun, and will all return to one.

Try being a geoscientist… So, so many blurry photos of rocks folks’ kids find in the backyard
- Comment on A third of the world’s population lacks internet connectivity − airborne communications stations could change that 2 months ago:
Just an example, but I’ve worked in central Africa and was recently at a very rural hospital where there was no running water and no electricity (other than local solar), and while there they received an airborne blood delivery via drone from a facility about 100 miles and about 4 hour drive time away. This was extremely helpful and managed through Internet communication.
- Comment on A third of the world’s population lacks internet connectivity − airborne communications stations could change that 2 months ago:
Democratization of communication resources substantially helps other facets. I hate this sort of knee jerk whataboutism. Aid can and should be multifaceted.

I’m sure they’ll hold strong to that prediction in 24 mo. It’s just 24 more months away

If they define a function that’s fair. I’m of the firm belief that data are points and models/functions are lines.

I agree with you 98%. My only gripe is that nobody don’t like ravioli.
- Comment on Does color change how hot a laser can get something? 6 months ago:
So where do you stand on infrared lasers? Light is already a junk term for the EM spectrum that we can see, otherwise holding no specific importance.
- Comment on Megafauna 6 months ago:
Seems like an eagle to me. At least in North America, Bald eagles can be considerably larger than vultures. Oh and baldies are also carrion eaters.

I hope no school is sound that badly these days

Being able to work with useful approximations is an important and liberating skill for many tasks.

I always use the example of driving around town. The fastest route is usually not the surface roads linking A to B along the shortest line, but a route that includes a highway with a faster route. Longer drive length, but shorter overall duration.

- Comment on fossil fuels 6 months ago:
There’s a second more obvious component that people neglect in any statement like OPs.
These companies exist because people buy their products. We can blame companies, but fossil fuel use is a collective problem.
