  2. Where is the energy to produce the hydrogen coming from?
  3. The problem is that the object would still block light from other sources.
  4. I remember having a pump that had same size inlet and outlet. Some design which could handle both water and air, but did slowly move its tubing along in the outlet direction.
  5. What happens if you take yourself out of the picture? ie. Stop pushing down the object and repositioning it. Does it continue or does it stop working?
  6. http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics Hard to say though when two species are simply too dissimilar. It was a long speciation event though with interbreeding occurring as 'recently' as an estimated 4 million years ago. Again a lot of these estimates depend on what is being examined.
  7. We do have mules, but from everything I've read it looks like the human and chimp genomes are more dissimilar than that number above(generally dependent on methodology).
  8. Whales. Berkeley has a good article on the subject. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evograms_03 Generally consists of them having evolved from aquatic mammals.
  9. If you do end up moving to reusable bags, make sure you reuse them enough to make up for their higher footprint. Cotton is probably the best(washable and biodegradable), though it takes the most reuses to come out ahead(~130 uses).
  10. You are using division to determine what value needs to be in which position with a different base. 21 = 2 * 101 + 1 * 100 Using modulus instead of 'remainder of' because this just makes the world a better place... 21 mod 2 = 1 -> Place 1 in the One's place 10 mod 2 = 0 -> Place 0 in the Two's place 05 mod 2 = 1 -> Place 1 in the Four's place 02 mod 2 = 0 -> Place 0 in the Eight's place 01 mod 2 = 1 -> Place 1 in the Sixteen's place 21 -> 10101 1 * 24 + 0*23 + 1*22 + 0 * 21 + 1 * 20 = 1 + 4 + 16 = 21 Don't necessarily have to do it this way though. Could just as well do: 21 - 16*1 - 8*0 - 4*1 - 2*0 - 1*1 = 0 Find the highest that will fit, subtract that. Find the next highest that will fit, subtract that and so on, until you reach zero. Any you were able to subtract receive a 1 any that you didn't receive a zero. Just a bit more difficult, especially as the number being converted grows.
  11. Think in terms of places. For decimal 10ths 100ths 1000ths For binary halves quarters eighths .25 ➡ 1/4 ➡ .01(binary)

    AM + FM = ?

    Found this on arXiv: Combined frequency-amplitudenonlinear modulation: theory and applications
  13. You have to produce external waste(heat in this case) to go on living. You might want to look at the concept of a light cone.
  14. 35,000 km is not quite high enough, but if we use 36,000 km, we see: v = Circumference / 1 Day = 2*Pi*(36,000km + 6,378km)/24hr * 1hr/3,600s = ~3.08km/s Orbital velocity of a geosynchronous satellite is only 3.07 km/s. Note: We are assuming a perfectly rigid tower. Another way to look at it is as though a cable were attached between the satellite and the Earth's surface.
  15. When you post it, you could potentially be attempting a cross site scripting attack on others. <svg onload="alert('I am the Cookie Monster! I have come for your cookies!')"
  16. Yeah, there are a few different workarounds. Just to give everyone an idea as to what the code looks like, this is for the decay image above:
  17. Hacking potential maybe? Code could be sanitized though. There may be a module or something that can be added. If you go into the image's page, you may be able to find a png version. ie. though I do agree that doing this is a bit cumbersome.

  19. You are investing your time and taking on some risk, namely in terms of the dollar's future value and your ability to repay timely. Boils down to 'inflation = good' and 'know thyself'. You can also make the time investment quite reasonable. Research and apply for card. Set up auto-pay full balance(when not interest free) and use a decent service like Mint to review all your transactions in one location. You do have to spend money to see the advantages, but you are always going to spend money in the normal course of things. Not going to make you rich, but in the long run you will be better off. There are issues with attempting to compound spending and spending money more than twice, but really that is to be expected. On the standard investment front I use or have used: an indexed fund, treasuries, online savings, CD's, money market accounts. Really depends on what you want out of your investment. My own ideal would include the gamut along with a share of a small business and property. Ideally you want something you can be invested in personally and where there is a magnification effect on the time you put into them.
  20. ^Yeah, that was what I was thinking. You more typically give the company a loan(in one form or another) and then they invest that money, and give you your cut afterwards. Besides all the standard investment strategies, I work to turn my spending into savings, via use of credit. Typically 2-5% in the form of cash back or miles, plus whatever you can earn in interest over a month. Less typically there are special deals and promotional offers which can boost that to 100% of one time spend and/or increase the time you have to earn interest on your money out 6-18 months. Only caveat is that you must spend normally and pay the bill when it comes due.
  21. Age difference will matter less as you grow older. I'm seeing someone almost a decade older than me, for example. I wouldn't sweat a couple of years, just make sure you are both interested in having the same kind of relationship.
  22. I know static electricity is thought to play a role early on.
  23. An accretion disc and a black hole are not the same thing... Black hole: I know, I know, people like to make pretty images out of the accretion disc which forms around it. It is a sad fact of life that a black hole is not photogenic in the least. An accretion disc is the result of conservation of angular momentum. The black hole though does still function as a drain. Should also note that a black hole obeys the same law of gravity as anything else. Things only get weird past the event horizon. They won't magically suck stuff into themselves. Sol could be swapped out with an equal mass black hole and our planet's orbit would be unaffected.
  24. How much of this force would continue to feel if you jumped off while making the turn?
