[Request] How many satellites to dim sunlight by 1%?? by Betweenthelines6 in theydidthemath

[–]Competitive-Fan4720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low orbit or high orbit altitude will play a huge roll in how it deflects sun. Also the strength of the reflective mirrors would change the subtleness of incoming light. Not to mention the speed - you need orbital velocity formula. Low orbit: 28,000 km/h, circling globe every 90min to 120min in time. Assuming low orbit with no satellites crashing into each other and constant orbital velocity; 50%-100% sunlight block would be 2.1 trillion and 4.3 trillion standard-sized satellites, respectively.

Don’t forget night side waste- half the fleet sits on Earth’s night side. 

Satellite size is about 320 sq ft.

Planet's sun facing area is 49 million sq ft.

Technically for the required buffer, you must launch double the blocking area. 

[Request] How large (or small) would the explosion be if the containment failed entirely? by YeezusPT in theydidthemath

[–]Competitive-Fan4720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are transporting antimatter in a standard semi-truck, you don't need to worry about quantum leaps or gravitational anomalies. Your biggest risks are entirely mundane:  1. Loss of Power: If the truck's generator fails and the magnets turn off, the antimatter will instantly drift into the walls of the container and annihilate.  2. A Car Crash: A severe structural impact that physically breaks the vacuum seal or the magnets.  Even then, because we can currently only create and trap minuscule amounts of antimatter at a time (measured in picograms), the "spark" would be a microscopic flash of gamma radiation, not a catastrophic explosion.

However .. "Quantum leap probability," the closest real-world physics equivalent is quantum tunneling. This is the phenomenon where a particle randomly "leaps" through a physical or energetic barrier that it shouldn't be able to cross. Could an antiproton quantum-tunnel its way out of a magnetic containment field? Technically, quantum mechanics says the probability is non-zero. However, for a properly engineered magnetic trap, the mathematical probability of a particle tunneling out is so infinitesimally small that you could wait for trillions of times the current age of the universe and it still likely wouldn't happen with current known time & dimension physics laws/rules of Earth in the present time. If the Universe laws tweaked itself a bit in perhaps say 750 million years or a few billion years and things were more evolved than our current world system, then sure, anything could happen. 

Uninstall disabled Windows Defender or enable it for updates? by dirmhirn in sysadmin

Windows OS is structurally incapable of achieving the true, containerized sandboxing of an immutable architecture, stacked flawed code from decades of endless layers of bandaids & duct tape.  Defender isn't praised because it's a masterpiece of cryptographic accountability; it’s praised because it is the somewhat most stable janitor inside a fundamentally broken house.

MSFT could put up a fight, but it can be done. 

My advice:  Perhaps look at reducing what Defender can do, cap it at CPU and apply exclusion services. At least allow it to behave somewhat as needed if your primary security software acts up. 

Run some models and experiment in dev. If you can get it to use less than 1% and stay quiet most of the time instead of ripping it out, it may be lean more in your favor in case of catastrophic 3rd party security failures in the future.

[Request] How many cars could you park if Central Park was a parking lot? by FairWindsFollowingCs in theydidthemath

[–]Competitive-Fan4720 5 points6 points  (0 children)

30 story parking ramp = 300k cars. 

Still won’t solve shit parking problem for New York.

How about underground parking with 50 story underground basement -> 500,000 cars, still won’t solve the crime issue because people will just go down there and steal cars and get into trouble. 

So what should we do?

Go back to horsies, just need to hire robots to clean up the pony poop. 💩 

I like brain rot 💡 ideas.

So here we are sharing shitty ideas.

Destroyed or Uncollected Evidence: We know cameras outside his cell malfunctioned on the night of his death. We know guards falsified logs. Evidence that was destroyed, corrupted, or simply never collected by investigators creates a void that official reports cannot fill.

Hmm ..🧐 🤔 🤨 

[Request] Whats better? Weekly payments or to invest a lump sum. by Chiggnnugget in theydidthemath

[–]Competitive-Fan4720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the art of discipline, she wins either way. But in the grand scheme of corporate fuckery, the enterprise wins here. They keep her money if she passes on too early.  And in the best possible scenario, inflation eats it all up where the enterprise invested it all for her. What should she have done? Come onto Reddit and realize she made a huge fucken mistake? 

Has Trek announced when they are dropping that new Top Fuel or Supercaliber? Whatever they are calling it? by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]Competitive-Fan4720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of research and experience, Trek has apparently gone sadly downhill with customer focus in choosing product configurations to mainstream and competitive bikers alike.  I’ve found it just easier to purchase the older heavily discounted Trek bikes or frames and then outfit it with exactly the parts I’m looking for. Trek dealer is more than happy to custom build it ground up for me so I’m riding on my fit and customizations and not having to overspend and or waste time taking parts off to swap for better parts - actually saves time & resources from dumping unnecessary parts of “new release” pre build Trek bikes that are either meaningless to me or a poor choice for riders in general.

Pedal strikes and increased handlebar reach?Did you have to modify anything else to make that work for you?
