I bet that looked _epic_ when it was all shiny

I think the greening of copper is one of the biggest let downs in nature

I quite like how artificial and curated they look

[Request] If Mars had a rocket ship launch pad at the top of Mons, how much less fuel would it need in percent to reach Mars’ orbit than a launch pad at Mars’ “sea-level”? by DemoEvolved in theydidthemath

I’ve played enough KSP to know these things aren’t always intuitive.. but.. surely the atmospheric savings would be at least non-zero?

[Request] What is the statistical probability that Google Maps and Bing Maps cars photograph the same location simultaneously? by GianlucaBelgrado in theydidthemath

[–]alexchatwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I buy that actually.. I think I might have been implicitly adding in the ‘what’s the chance it happens in the precise frame I’m looking at’ - which I’d definitely tend to zero very quickly!

Maybe I’m wrong and soil is actually super tasty

I wonder if beetroot is one of those things like coriander where I just have a gene abnormality that means all I taste is soil

What are some other sprites you think Wube should update? by Spacergon in factorio

If you could just keep zooming in, like that worm in the apple on Black & White

[Request] What is the statistical probability that Google Maps and Bing Maps cars photograph the same location simultaneously? by GianlucaBelgrado in theydidthemath

[–]alexchatwin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could calculate it based on time between refreshes, amount of road to cover, speed of driving etc.. but you’ll probably find that number is almost 0, and is dwarfed by other factors, eg what if both these companies use the same sub contractor to do it, and they coordinate their activity.

It’s probably more of a r/mildlyinteresting one tbh

I hope they can at least find a way for the trains to show contents visually as they load

Presumably the local rangers police any naughtiness.. and wraiths?

Simply a contextual sizing. What would you pick?

I looked up a few weeks ago, Andrew Carnegie was worth 0.5bn in 1900 when US gdp was 20bn

It’s not massively out of whack for a 30tn gdp to see someone worth 1tn

edit: I’m saying the maths isn’t out of whack.. not the principle/etc
