AITA is garbage because it isnโt about finding the best course of action but about whether you can pretend that your behaviour is justified, which is not helpful.
You donโt need to cite, you need to provide source code. The point of GPL is to allow the user to inspect and modify the software. You can even sell it as long as you provide the modified source code under the same license.
Plastic packaging has issues but climate change is not one of them. Shipping also isnโt impactful at all. Most shipping emissions happen when the product moves to the store, not when it sails in a container ship.
Based on your post, the main evil of the corporations is manipulating the media, confusing people with things like abolishing plastic straws (which are very efficient at what they do).
Eating beef, owning a car and buying unnecessary stuff (for example those bottled drinks) are huge. They easily make up half of a persons emissions. An accurate measure is hard because of secondary effects like needing less road with fewer cars.
Like, why wouldnโt people be interested in knowing that the African slave trade of the colonial period actually started with Jewish kids, but they all died in the African climate of Sao Tome, so the Portuguese started buying slaves from the Congolese, which they captured from neighboring tribes, to work the fields??
It represents each circle as an equation that is only true when x and y are on the circle. By requiring that all three equations are true, you can find all points that are on all three circles.
You can either convince yourself that three circles can only intersect at one point or you can use the fact that two variables and three independent equations means that there are zero or one solutions that satisfy all equations.
You could actually even make a system that only needs two distances (and the depth)! Two circles can only intersect at two points, so you just need to figure out which one of the two you are. That can be done by looking at which of the landmarks is on the left when looking towards them.
Now the really difficult thing here is to figure out why this works even with inaccurate inputs, as the math presented on the site assumes that everything is perfectly accurate.
You can actually formulate different ways of computing the position that differ in how they react to measurement error. One way to investigate that is to take the derivative wrt. to one of the radii.
This resonated with me because I once did the same thing but in 3d and with magnetic field strength instead of distance. I never found a satisfying solution because magnetic fields are capsule-shaped rather that spherical. The shape is described by a 4th degree equation, so its exact solution is too large to be useful and the whole system of equations cannot be solved symbolically.
I would say the only thing the movie has in common with the book is that it mentions the bookโs main character and the laws of robotics. The book is all about weird behavior of robots that actually obey the laws but the movie just treats them as some corporate doublespeak.
The main character in I, Robot is Dr. Susan Calvin. It also features Donovan and Powell. Elijah is from the robot trilogy, which happens centuries after I, Robot.
I calculated at one point that if you ride a bike instead of a car but replenish the calories with pure beef, it is better to ride the car. So diet matters.

Funny how weโve regressed back to a state where you can only believe things you have seen with your own eyes. (And things in books, papers and old-school websites.)
Of course there is a limit. The question is how high it is. For instance, at high enough CO2 concentrations, the greenhouse effect doesnโt get much stronger anymore. Also, the more CO2, the faster it dissapears by eroding rocks. That happens on a geological timescale, though.
If we did something to lower temperature, Iโd be very worried about the CO2 concentrationโs other effect: feeling like suffocating all the time.
I am an atheist as well and I liked the ending. It isnโt supernatural, it just matches old cylon legends.
Iโm currently rewatching and what actually bothers me is how the tomb of Athena works and all the plot holes and poor episodes. For example there is an episode where is a lack of metal just after they disable hundreds of cylon raiders. Also, the heavy raider taken back from Caprica is never used again.
I agree on the fable argument but not on having to have a scientific explanation. Scifi is about sense of wonder, societal impact etc. Realism is optional as long as things donโt work in arbitrary ways.
Iโll have to keep an eye open for that when I get to that point. I mostly remembered the explosion before that which was entertaining, though unlikely.
Iโm actually surprised how well it holds up on the rewatch. It is very good moment-to-moment but the plot is weak and badly paced and Baltar is not nearly as entertaining as the first time around.
Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2's campaigns will boast drastically different boss design. Every single time we've seen a boss battle in POE 2, it's an absolute banger, slamming almost every PoE 1 boss to the ground. Of course, that also means once PoE 2 launches, we'll likely be getting lots of these bosses in the endgame of...
Players could absolutely delete bosses but they usually don't because that level of damage doesn't make progressing through the story any faster. My only character with that kind of damage early on was Hexblast. It was extremely fun but slow leveling, as the cast time is pretty massive.
Weaker players will struggle until they learn to build a certain level of damage. The bosses just have to be tuned so that it is possible to salvage a garbage build without knowing every single game mechanic. The tuning is currently pretty lenient, as I can make up builds on the fly that demolish Ruthless even though non-ruthless characters get at least 300% more damage for free.
Simulacrum is usually done with a very fast character that kills the mobs faster than they spawn. It may be that Holy Relic is not fast enough due to its cooldown and slowly expanding circle. Also note that Simulacrum 20 is already a pretty tough goal. The levels after that are only for characters that do stupid amounts of damage.
Before Simulacrum you could maybe set an easier goal of doing rare T16's while never dying and one shotting whole packs. Then you need to up the damage because T16 mob health is rather low.
I believe that Holy Relic and Agony Crawler are best when used as a damage source for builds that invest purely in defense.
This can be nice but usually not for Simulacrum. I have played a character that easily stayed alive when the rest of the party was deleted in juicy T16 delirious maps but it still died to Delirium, so how fast you kill is much more important than durability.
One thing that you can try is set incoming damage to 10k of all types in PoB. That helped me a lot with armor, as the default hit is very small.
If phys is not a problem, it is probably elemental. To be really durable you need a lot of HP, high max resist or Transcendence (my favourite) or some other interesting mechanic.
Maybe you are killed by shock or corrupted blood? Have you taken note of what kills you?
Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?
