It just needs to be more or less a rod. The exact shape doesn't matter much, so there's not going to be much working it, just melt it into a rod and done. (There are some ceramics that can handle the necessary temperature.)

You can also sinter it, it doesn't need to be especially strong, just hold itself together while falling, and sintering can make it strong enough.

The strength plays no part at all when it impacts. At the energy involved it might as well be a noodle. It just needs to handle the heat and resistance of reentry. Mainly heat.
I think this an important thing to note - Pensions are great when they're good - but most were not that good. I do like the idea of a savings where I can contribute money to, where some of it ends up being for retirement, and some of it ends up not being. My biggest issue with the 401k, is the money is locked in there, so if I honestly needed it, I'd be kinda screwed from a tax point of view.
Why is it difficult? The hypothetical makes all the relevant information available.

Frankly, the only way the US could be said to 'pay for the world's defence' is if one could argue that the bulk of US military spending increases the security and safety of the world.

Prima facie, this is obviously not the case. The big-ticket items, the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, have obviously reduced both regional and world stability, to the extent that bloody ISIS-inspired terrorist attacks are now a perennial threat in european cities.

I'd hazard a guess that the Obama-era, 'drone strikes for jihadis' programme probably was a net gain for world security, but the whole point about drones and targeted assassination is it's very cheap.

The other aspect of the US contribution to world safety is in the sense of a deterrent - the US keeps nations like Russia or China from getting too pushy. On the other hand, it has a habit of poking such nations in the eye with a stick. It's hard to see whether US actions have deterred Russian aggression, for instance, or whether they have actually provided the impetus for such aggression. Certainly, the latter interpretation is what the Russians think.

So I guess the US does pay for a lot, but I feel it's more in the sense that the US pays for the world's healthcare. Being the sheep that gets fleeced the most doesn't put the less-fleeced sheep in your debt.
Are you sure about that? I seem to recall them doing this for quite a while. Or maybe that was advanced code searches?
I too found that irritating. Especially since the deliberate misspelling of her name as 'Lenna' in Playboy.was explicitly mentioned.
I think of it more in terms of cheap vs more expensive cuts of meat. I think it's important to signal this on the packaging. In the UK, the process being discussed in this thread is labelled 'mechanically recovered meat' (MRM) on food packaging. For food producers, MRM is much cheaper than other meat which is why you'll often find it used in cheap burgers and ready meals. Many consumers might never look at the ingredients or even know what MRM is. For me, it's still important not to subsume the different processes under one label of ground beef because they are not the same.

How isn't this science of cooking? Ammonia was a primary leavening agent for baked goods for centuries. Baking soda mostly replaced it but some old recipes still call for it. It's also commonly found in cheeses like Brie. It's in abundance in some fish considered a delicacy in Korea.

IOW, it's been a thing for a long time. You are arbitrarily placing a line between "cooking" and "industrial process" out of ignorance and bias.

When I seek a Maillard reaction in my food (baking bread, searing meat) and potentially generate acrylamide (a carcinogen), how is that exogenously induced chemical process, somehow "better" from another one like an ammonia puff that is intended to improve food quality?
I built a similar, much more generic thing, to test networks with various failure modes [0]. It creates proxies for tcp/http/APIs, and handles those streams however you want—cutoff, slow down, dropout, or DIY handlers. Everything can be configured w/JSON, routed by API endpoints, and modulated live through an admin API. Process clustering supported.

I'm not convinced that Turing completeness is needed for real functionality. Can you name a "practical" function that is computable but not primitive recursive? Just because you can theoretically compute Ackermann function doesn't mean it has anything but academic interest.
It's possible they would be willing to share with legitimate researchers who ask. Putting it out there for anyone to download is not the only way to do it.
Yeah but you'd want your orbital kinetic weapon to pass through as little atmosphere as possible to minimize aerodynamic breaking and to reduce the accuracy problems inherent in those aerodynamic effects. The steeper the reentry, the better, which means a greater delta-v requirement.
Thanks for that. But the program costs $5,900 program and I am not really sure if that's worth it.

If this has "nuclear weapon force", then the rocket used to launch it also contains that much energy.

A quick bit of match says the space shuttle energy is about 1 kiloton of TNT equivalent. That's a pretty small bomb.

Maybe the new launch systems are more powerful.

Although it seems simpler to just fly a rocket full of fuel at the target.

We've all heard the truism that homeopathic medicine has such a high safety record because it does nothing. The inverse would be that such a universally effective medicine as touted here must also be rather dangerous.

Yet, when speaking again, many still listen. We all know which company abused consumers. Yet, when a new product is advertised, many still buy.
Chrome may or may not be the best browser. But Google properties tying into Chrome as a platform (think sync, extensions, auth, captchas) and making it really difficult to switch away creates a situation where it's not all about choosing the best browser any more. This harkens back to the same anti-competitive monopolistic behavior that Microsoft got sued for in the late 90's.

Well, maybe. Google could add features to the api.
Google weren't supposed to make it generally available. From their application[0]:

> .dev will operate as a closed gTLD. It will provide Google with the opportunity to differentiate and innovate upon its Google products and services through its use of the gTLD. This will promote competition in the gTLD space by inciting competitors to respond with improved gTLD operations, greater range and higher quality products and services, and⁄or the creation of their own respective gTLDs, to the benefit of all Internet users. Launching the proposed gTLD will also generate increased competition in the online marketplace by adding incremental availability to the second-level domain pool.

I'm pretty skeptical that the energy dispersed from a tungsten rod impact would be dispersed in a manner similar to a nuclear weapon. That is to say, while they may both be just as energetic, the nuclear bomb might be dumping most of it's energy into thermal radiation while the tungsten rod, I would expect, is dumping a lot of it's energy into shattering bedrock as it burrows half a kilometer deep into the earth's crust. Yes, ultimately that energy is dispersed as heat, the rocks pierced by the rod would get hotter, but instead of the thermal energy being emitted in one horrible microsecond in the atmosphere above the target, it would be dispersed over a longer time period and over a larger area straight into rock.

That's just my intuition. I don't think these would actually be as effective as the raw energy values might suggest.
What country? Citation?
Yup, because what should happen is that the working spouse should leave the non-working spouse penniless and homeless, especially if they have been married 20-40 years.

I will, however, add that not everywhere does any sort of alimony - not every state in the US does it, even, and I can only imagine the difference between countries. I originally from Indiana, which only allows such thing in a limited number of cases. There aren't laws that provide for it. If your spouse leaves, you are just out of luck - though you might be entitled to some retirement benefits.
The article keeps using the word "selling" to make it sound like the women in question had no choice in the matter, but every example they give is of women who already lived/had a relationship with their extra-marital lover. So it was basically just a way to seal an already existing relationship.

Oh yeah, that'd be a great use for BrandsEye (which though it facilitates this annoying behaviour, and seems to be a pretty trivial implementation, is a pretty good B2B idea) - startup with a fairly straightforward/keywordy problem X that it solves finds people complaining about X, and tells them that it can fix it.

Of course any technical startup could and would probably spend half a day - not $$$ - on a simple script to do what BrandsEye does, minus the UI that Sky only needs because it's putting it in the hands of marketing/social media dept.
At some point, new ads the system can't block will surface. The adblocker will become less and less useful, and Google will have no incentive to improve it.

There is already a big difference between even existing adblockers. E.G: some show youtube ads.

And I'm much more worry about the privacy concern from many random ads poping unexpectedly, than from one extension that the entire community get to vet.
With a series of rocket launches, bringing multiple boosters up to the rod, you could raise it to a higher orbit incrementally than a single rocket would permit. But this would be very expensive and I'm skeptical of the practical value of this sort of weapon in the first place, even if we assume the rod is given equivalent energy.
But he is of the opinion that whether something is or is not "pink slime" is irrelevant to the safety of the product. Ergo, it is just noise.
You're interpreting it totally backwards.

If they thing OpenAI made isn't interesting enough of a discovery without its data (because it's all arbitrary anyway), but is very useful to spammers as a piece of code, OpenAI has truly achieved the 200% opposite goals they were looking for.

I mean the Faceswap people have the same problem. They could give less a shit about porn. But that's what people used it for.

That would be quite the tax dodge. It lets you spread income over many years, whichever way has the lowest tax rate.
It would need a precise retrograde burn at a precise orbital location. This means it will be slower than surface based nukes and have a highly variable time to target. At a low orbit this could be 90 minutes, at geostationary orbit it could be almost a day, but it will always vary based on the location of the target and the weapons orbital position when the order is issued.
Exactly.

As a vegetarian myself, I wouldn't dare make excuses for the beef industry, but your argument here is pretty fucking weak. At the high end, LFTB contains about as much ammonia as a lot of commercial bread, and about half of what's in hard cheese. The increase this causes in your body is just noise compared to what comes from your natural protein metabolism. Google for "lftb ammonia ppm" for some numbers.

So no, please, let's not start slapping ammonia warnings on all of our food.

>If you own a house before marriage, perhaps a prenup would be prudent.

If you're worried about losing a significant sum of your assets as a result of marriage, the only solution is to not get married. Prenuptials are generally considered to be worthless and any decent lawyer will find a way to get them thrown out. According to point 5 here [1], a case could easily be made that the plaintiff wasn't prepared for having to find a house after divorce, their quality of life is significantly worse than the standard they've come to adapt to after marriage, etc.

> Workers would still be free to opt out of saving entirely

This is never going to work. With so much people living check to check, who has the money to save? This approach supposes that we are hommo economicus able to take the best long-term decisions. We are not.

For me, the easy solution is tax people now to pay the retirement of older people. Then, do that forever. It works in Europe.

But, will this work with a diminish population? Is not this a pyramidal scheme?

The reality is that productivity has gone up way faster than population is going down. The main problem is how to distribute that enormous wealth, not if there is enough for everybody.
Most comments seem to quibble about exact numbers. That the number of people let go is comparable is enough to give you a pause.
In most cases marital assets are split evenly, including future social security payments to the non-working spouse. Permanent alimony creates an extreme burden because it is not sensitive to changes in the primary earner's circumstances.
That is how you end up with results which perform great in artificial benchmarks, but fall hard on their face in real world use.
