>According to one source, a total of three requests were made and rejected for imagery of Columbia in-orbit during the 16-day mission. In addition, the CAIB identified eight missed opportunities to determine the extent of the damage, all of which either got no response from mission management or resulted in no action being taken.
>According to the book Comm Check... by William Harwood and Michael Cabbage, some engineers were concerned that the foam strike on the left wing, clearly captured by video recorded during the launch, had caused more damage than initially thought. Based on computer modeling later proven inadequate, Ham's belief was that the damage was not serious and would at most merely lengthen the time necessary to refurbish Columbia between missions.
> Ham denied requests for high-resolution imaging of the shuttle based on her belief that the damage was too minor to be of consequence.[2] Former flight director Wayne Hale worked outside proper NASA channels in an effort to get imaging of the damage,[16] even though Ham had authority over this decision. In the aftermath of the mishap, Hale was promoted to Space Shuttle Program Manager and then on to NASA headquarters and Ham was demoted.
Now that the dust has settled, did she do anything wrong?

Is this a real way to derive kinetic energy.
I hope you'll read what's in the picture and tell me what the logic in this is.
Is this just a coincidence? And why square velocity has a linear relationship with gravity. Also,
why write velocity in reverse because it is supposed to increase with decreasing weight and height.
or Is this just bullshit. by my retarded third world school

>>14155559 therefore (change in kinetic energy)=(change in quantity mv^2/2), therefore for a particle starting from rest,
this was nothing but elementary newtonian mechanics and some calculus. you SOULD be able to do this.
>Is this just a coincidence? no you absolute schizo read a book, fuck that shitty technobabble you posted

If no, why and how, legally?
If yes, it would be pretty easy to completely take over the entire USA in 18 years just by owning a sperm and egg donor clinic in all 50 states and planting voters with the excess rather than throwing it away.

Are there any applications of predicting future data points by interpolating from existing data?

Quoted By:
>>14153398 how can you have a future point in-between existing datapoints? i think you meant extrapolation anon, you silly billy
Anonymous
yeah, here's an example
this guy (mit guest lecture) says it's required by e.g. SEC for trading firms to quantify their probability of losing money (risk) and to do that you need to know if your tail is fat and if you see your tail is fat then you know you have a much larger future risk
it's just probability, you really really really should get to know about it. literally everyone should.

y is function of x
for x=0.1, y=14.2
for x=0.2, y=15.04
How do I find x for y=15.75?
Do I have to keep plugging x into function till I get y I need or is there a faster way?
Anonymous
>>14153602 Bump! Help me out here please. Y is a bunch of long equations and I dont want to solve them for every x. Is there a way to approximate x?

>>14153671 No x can not be approximated, the only thing you can do is try every number until you find the answer

Quoted By:
>>14153602 You can attempt to solve it numerically, but with no indication of discontinuities and asymptotes there's no guarantee that a small change in x when y is near your magic number will be helpful, nor any guarantees to increase or decrease x to get closer to y

Is trans-humanism over-hyped? Ignoring the moral and ethical concerns for a second, how far have we actually come in terms of actually advancing the human form? it feels like a huge quantity of people on this board latched onto it without understanding the underlying sciences behind it.

If you were able, would you become a brain in a jar connected to a simulator? Especially say, if it were near identical feeling to reality as it is? The brain would quickly learn and adapt to that new reality so much so that to the minds experience it is indistinguishable from real life besides the fact you are able to do things not possible in real reality. Free from pain, from want and desire. You are sustained by machines whose existence you are not aware of, nor could ever be. Blood, oxygen, and nutrients all pumped into your lump of meat without your input. To work, you could simply connect to a machine half way across the world and operate it remotely, or have a automated subroutine that uses part of your brainpower to work while you do other things. True gamification of reality is the future, work is a mini-game, survival is not dependent on the function of your body, but of your mind.

If we were to list all the gazillion different ideas a human mind could possibly come up with, from the most intelligent to the most retarded, becoming a brain in a jar would be at the absolute bottom.
