It includes the cleaning fee and Airbnb service fee, but inexplicably, excludes taxes.

But it's not really the "total price". It doesn't include taxes.

The fuel burned by an aircraft is almost certainly the dominant portion of its lifecycle carbon emissions. I expect the carbon emissions due to its manufacture are negligible by comparison. Have you seen a source either way?

According to their propaganda, they are going to make jet transport cheaper AND faster AND greener. I see no evidence that this is at all realistic, and a lot of evidence to the contrary. Do they even have a story explaining how their new s

Agreed. Boom claims they will be "sustainable" because they are going to invent some kind of synthetic biofuel. Wait, it looks like I either misremembered that claim, or they have backed away from it: > "Overture’s fleet

I'm a bit shocked that it would even be possible for a third party to implement such a thing without rebuilding Windows itself. Is it a matter of implementing "device drivers"?

The Economist is also like 100+ pages per week. Very hard to consume without significant dedication.

Deciding to culture the samples, versus just destroying them without analysis, must be accompanied by an interesting risk/benefit analysis.

The microphone analogy is particularly apt, because the signals are also audio-frequency. You can listen to them. Sometimes in the control room we play the output on a loudspeaker. It can help in tuning the instrument (most of what you hear

This was in fact accomplished and is attempted for many of the detections.

Wait fees seem pretty reasonable. Maybe the solution is to have them subsidized by the government for qualified individuals.

So far all of the signals observed by LIGO are from sources that we expected would exist. The most exciting thing would be to observe an unexpected signal.

There is no upper limit to the wavelength of gravitational waves. However, the lowest frequency that we can currently detect is around 10-100 Hz. Diving the speed of light (3e8 m/s) by (10 Hz) gives 3e7 meters. 30,000 km. The upper end

Extensive computer modeling is used to predict the expected waveforms, and then we fit the observed waveforms to the expected ones.

Also the experimentalists get very antsy when they/(we) can't touch the instrument. :-)

You can think of each individual detector producing a single-channel audio signal. By combining the signals from multiple detectors it's possible to determine where the signal is coming from. But the output is neither a picture nor a s

Applied Cryptography is an excellent book, but it is very very old. Nearly 25 years old. The foreword of the semi-recent (2015) "20th anniversary edition" (which appears to be a reissue of the 2nd edition) even recommends that you
