Maybe you want a hypergraph? http://www.hypergraphdb.org/

Wtf man, what's your problem?

Meaning that they didn't launch at the right time to arrive at Mars, due to where Mars is in its orbit currently. It'll pass through the imaginary circle around the sun which is Ma…

No, it's a Martian transfer orbit, albeit without Mars at the other end.

Actually, no, once the 2nd stage cuts off the trajectory is mostly fixed and we know what orbit it is in. There are, I believe, two more small burns that will be done to adjust the…

What boat?

No. Watch SpaceX's twitter feed. It might be a while though.

That's the 2nd stage. It's still attached to the payload I believe, so that they can test mid-course corrections to the transfer orbit.

What nearby ships?

I don't find that surprising. The communication link back is presumably by satellite since it is in the middle of the ocean, and probably a directional antenna because of the high …

They were not the same video feed.

As I said, I just want the .deb file on the iso.

I'm not saying by default. I'm saying have it on the CD.

I use containers as lightweight VMs in many places. Generally I see this as a way to get a minimal install that other tools can then configure appropriately, with up to date packag…

Posting here rather than the blog because I don't have a google account: What about adding sshd to the minimal install? If the purpose of this is minimal installs of containers and…

I already told you the added assumption: a theory of wave-form collapse as physical phenomena. Only the Copenhagen interpretation has this. I'm not going to spend my time putting t…

That's missing the point. Copenhagen is not mathematically wrong. Alternatives like many-worlds interpretation and pilot wave theory have the same (MWI) or isomorphic (pilot wave) …

> The idea of having an "operating system" made up of components dispersed across the globe seems like a fantasy that is too good to be true. Read up on Amoeba and Sprite in the 80…

You ignored the "philosophy of science" part. Philosophy of science is how we decide which of two theories is "correct" when they offer the same experimental predictions. See also …

That's many-worlds interpretation that introduces decoherence to avoid the problems of Copenhagen.

Rhetorical question: why are epicycles wrong? An infinite sequence of epicycles could be used to accurate model any orbital path, in a similar sense to how a Taylor series can repr…

What do you mean by that? Pilot-wave and many-worlds have EXACTLY the same predictions as the Copenhagen interpretation. It's the same theory, in the sense that the same mathematic…

The Conpenhagen interpretation is flat out wrong by any reasonable philosophy of science. You can choose many-worlds interpretation, or pilot-wave theory and either one would give …

We previously allowed them access to private records with a system of due process involving judges granting warrants on a case by case basis. Instead of following the intent of the…
