That's specific power, not specific energy. Do you mean 1 kW*r/kg?

I thought the same thing.

They broke split screen on the switch.

That's very similar to my experience.

That's generally what you should do with a scientific model: state your assumptions and methodology clearly.

And most if not all scientific and engineering models spread properties across a group of objects and use averages. R_0 is an average. And it's the average behavior that matters here

In a well tested population, you might be able to focus interventions on infected people and their contacts. In the US population, the people most likely to spread the disease are those who interact most with other people. That means getting those people to reduce their interaction rate.

It's a semi-empirical model, as are many if not most models used to make decisions.

You're supposed to say "kriging" at least once in this post. :P

I created this entry. It's evolved considerably.

I do still recommend the original source I used: The Concise Guide to American Aircraft of World War II by David Mondey. It's great.

The terms are gas giant and terrestrial (or rocky) planet. They're already there.

Yes to pressure part and no to the venturi part. Well, it's not enough. You still have to generate a downdraft to conserve momentum and the venturi idea doesn't explain that.

Seconded. Masters in ASE, written my own vortex lattice code from scratch.

"Wings generate lift by changing the velocity of the flow around them" seems general and correct but the why part is pretty tricky without notions of continuity and conservation laws. And vorticity helps a lot, too.

In an absolute sense you're not going to prevent any deaths unless you're preventing lives. Everybody alive is going to die.

One less death relative to what?

It's quadratic. Polynomial would also have been acceptable. But what they meant to say is "superlinear". Like aetherson, this drives me nuts.

Including those at NASA.

And as far as I can tell, organizations struggle with doing multilevel and multidisciplinary optimization.

That seems incompleat. Could you continue?

His father Dell is an inch taller with the same listed weight and played from '86 to '02. He's probably a good initial comparison.

"Third, like I said, not modern air force is ignoring IRST."

Right? I mean, just consider the B-2 and F-117 exhausts and the amount of work done to reduce their thermal signatures.

Yep.

Edit: To be clear, I wasn't saying it was lower.

Presumably, those estimates are just for the Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME/RS-25), give that's what Rocketdyne was manufacturing and propulsion is one of Marshall Spaceflight Center's fortes.

In the context that it's required to get certain jobs? So we -- society -- have screwed up in conflating education and job training?

"Yes. I'll also add the 4-year education is incredibly inefficient, in terms of skills added over time"

I'm uncomfortable with the idea that a university degree is entirely about workforce skills.

It was the perfect comment.

Err.... NASA software, yes. No Mars probes yet.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Edit: Ok, ok, I totally screwed that up. Damnit. Sorry, everyone. Grams aren't kilograms. The freaking base unit shouldn't have a prefix.

2000mg/kg = 2, right?

Like 2kg of medicine for every one kg of body mass? That seems impossible to consume. Even 0.1 kg/kg seems really, really high.

Or is mg here used for micrograms rather than milligrams? So it's actually 2000 μg/kg.

How is 1+1=1 easy to achieve?

So could the holographic principle be stated as "the number of bits in a volume is bound by the enclosing area and reaching that bound converts the volume into a black hole"?

Well, he did say "Why do we keep them alive as zombies rather than just help the humans and let the municipalities die?"

Is it reasonable to simply pick everyone up and move them? That seems at least plausible, though I'd expect the cost to still fall on the Federal government.

Methane is lighter than air.

100,000 per... month I'm guessing?

It does, it's just kind of wrong. Things are more interesting than that.

Dash 80 was a nickname for that particular plane, it's model number is 367-80. The 707 is a slightly different aircraft that generally isn't referred to as a "Dash 80".

The Dash 80 was the prototype for the 707, but strictly speaking, it's model number isn't 707.
