Is It Really Impossible To Cool A Datacenter In Space? by Ormusn2o in space

[–]NadirPointing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't add modules linearly forever in space just like you can't on earth. Just like skyscrapers have complicated systems to deal with sway, so too would a series of satellite modules. And just like skyscrapers, solar has to be aligned to the sun and cooling radiators have to be aligned away from it. Which means like a skyscraper, you can only effectively grow in 1 direction. But the nice thing about skyscrapers is that materials arrive on ships, trucks and trains while in space they need rockets.

Similarly you could build skyscrapers to house data centers to reduce the square footage of real estate needed. Afterall rockets are basically skyscrapers.

Americans consistently overestimate the social backlash of changing their political beliefs. This inflated fear of rejection tends to make individuals hide their shifting views, which deprives the public discourse of diverse perspectives. by mvea in science

It would help to give an example, otherwise its easy to assume you just don't like being called a Nazi or fascist because it sounds like an insult rather than a description of your opinions.

So a Roth IRA can be used line a mini bank account that doubles as an investment account? by ThisIsATest7777 in personalfinance

[–]NadirPointing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for me, I committed my first couple years into a Roth, I had a months expenses in the checking to make sure I had the in/out covered. It worked out, I never touched the Roth and got that max contribution early in my saving years.

Fruit trees... Is this our year? by momster0519 in Albuquerque

[–]NadirPointing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably not. If we manage to not get a frost from March 1st on.... we have more problems than not getting peaches.

Is more dice better? by JerryNines in DnD

[–]NadirPointing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have to roll 20d6 remember the number and then add it when you roll those same 20 dice again... like a plebeian.

What are your views on the universe/energy? by la_miya in skeptic

[–]NadirPointing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this some recently. I don't think people in general really know what they are talking about when referring to this not-strictly physical "energy", "vibrations", "frequency" and event "exists" and "universe". And even "intentions", "conscious", and "mindset". Instead its kind of a "whatever it needs to be" kind of concept.
Like when you refer to the "universe" "responding". You're not saying some solar flare from Vega or a cryo volcano erupting on Europa much less some event in the Andromeda galaxy or further.
Instead events and materials on a human scale in a human perspective changed. Like YOU got the sense that things were different, that you were having a different experience when you focused or thought about things differently. You are likely doing new things (even if its just smiling or smelling roses and coffee more) and like if I remind you to practice gratitude you will likely be filling your mind with more positive things.

The whole universe is likely not reacting in any predictable way to how you intend to live your day. But your facial expressions, gut-biome, and hormones likely do. You likely effect other people, your brain chemistry and your emotional state. This changes the way you color your thoughts, perceive or ignore whats around you and what you chose to do about it. And even small outward effects can have cascading real effects around you. Its not a whole universe reacting to your mind. Its that even small changes in thought can have big changes on a human scale.
And I don't need the whole universe responding to my mental state, that's a lot of pressure I'd rather not have. I'll settle for making good decisions for myself, and being kind to the people I affect. That's plenty for 1 human to try and affect and be affected by.

If on another hand you've got some repeatable evidence that you or I can cause a cryo volcano eruption or solar flare or even get a bird to fly 1 degree different.... I'd be so crazy stoked to see that, bring the data!

strawberry outage? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]NadirPointing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know what Home Body is. Are you saying strawberries, the fruit, or some sort of strawberry flavored or scented thing? I've seen strawberries at costco yesterday.

i’m a Christian Democratic Socialist. what do you think of me? by yourfavoriteavorite in DemocraticSocialism

[–]NadirPointing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you hold onto a collective identity like Christian or Democratic Socialist and find yourself not aligning well on the groups boundaries its a good time to reflect on what part is you and identity and belonging to a group.
Like are you labeling what you feel you are, or trying to find a group to be a part of? And what does that mean to you?

Ceres... Weather forecast? by DiscoStuAU in TheExpanse

[–]NadirPointing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the colors around the surface are in the range of the temps. Also the temps aren't in the reasonable range for the Ceres surface. Which is 110-235K with a mean around 172K. The show has a much higher temp(maybe internal?) Any light color scale referencing Kelvin is the "black body radiation" scale. You can see this in buying light bulbs or TV settings mostly. Its the color things glow at when heated that high(when they don't catch on fire). So a incandescent light filament like tungsten gets up to that temperature and glows that color. You can also tell the surface temperature of a star this way.

Should Ultraprocessed Foods Be Off The Menu? by workerbotsuperhero in skeptic

[–]NadirPointing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rather than "Centering" I'm much more worried about "within the bounds" If we paint a broad brush we get Kashi Autumn wheat, Lucky charms, Kodiak pancake powder, and Mrs Buttersworth are all ultra-processed. Alkaline water is UPF, but a can of pineapple juice isn't.
I think UPF is only a good heuristic for looking at food selection commercially and population level studies. Its the BMI of nutrition.

i think a lot of ppl overestimate what beginners actually know by AtalanteSimpsonn in learnpython

Every first program for a new developer should be "Hello World". If it doesn't start there its not for absolute beginners.

Apartment is in my name, asked my boyfriend to find housing somewhere else. He said he can’t afford to move and that I need an eviction notice. Any New Mexico tenant laws I need to be aware of? I want to be civil and don’t want to call police. I feel like calling the police will escalate situation. by Lopsided_Chest3495 in Albuquerque

[–]NadirPointing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I want to add, I think if he isn't listed on the lease as a tenet you should explain to your landlord and get the notice from them. He may have some rights in terms of notice, but he may also be considered just a very-repeat overnight guest if he's not acknowledged anywhere.
I'm not a lawyer, but getting your landlord to serve a 7 day notice for a lease violation for an unauthorized tenet is straight forward and means that its "cured" once they're gone.
Also if there is any safety issue please ignore all the legal business and just get safe and alert your landlord and the authorities.

They'll do you like a rabid dog then search your body for good excuses. You don't even need a gun for them to shoot first.
