jews sabotage the reactors again and then whine about how unsafe it is.

very little. hydrocarbon fuels would still be safer, cheaper, and more importantly, portable. not to mention all the chemical applications (plastics, lubricants, cosmetics, etc).

Does anybody know how to properly translate $ wages to € wages.

If one looks at the average wages here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_wage

we have
US:
$ 60k
Germany
$ 45k or roughly € 42k

any of course living price is very different (higher in the US)

But this still doesn't reflect differences in well-paying jobs. If you look at glassdoor and e.g. the highest paying senior jobs at Google
in the US they make
155.000$
and in Europe about
110.000€
a year (8000€ a month)

The average PhD + 3 years salary in Europe will be under 65000€, which isn't that high in the US.
AND then the income taxes in Germans pay 40%!? Doesn't seem to add up, even with the higher living cost in the US.

What's going on here?

I'm French and am starting a job at a US tech company with an office in my city.
It's well paid in terms of salary, but then there is also the bonus thing - those kind that are related to shares. I get some with the contract.

Can someone explain this properly?

It's a young company and the HR woman said she herself couldn't even judge properly how much money these bonuses would really mean.

And then there is the thing of "selling it on the market".

Because engineering is even more tedious than CS.

with the proper systems in place,over time, of course.

Well Earth has limited natural resources and Mars has more of some of them, so eventually the demand for those resources will be high enough that it's worth colonising it to mine em or whatever. No idea what the timeframe is though; I doubt it's within our lifetime. Raises the question of what the minimum amount of people and stuff to send to Mars to allow it to develop a colony that can build a way back and collect resources is. Reminds me of Factorio

I think a more interesting idea is at what point a pre-existing Martian colony (established for science or whatever) could turn a profit by exploiting Martian resources and shipping them back to Earth. Space tourism could also be a pretty big factor.

Given that high-end art connoisseurs on our planet currently routinely shell out 100 million dollars on single paintings, I would fully expect that if an artisan craftsman went to mars, forged a steel sword from Martian iron or carved a handsome piece of sculpture from martian marble ,and put it up for sale, that people would spend seemingly absurd amounts of money to get a hold of it.

That could help a great deal in the early years. someone send Damien hirst to mars, rich people love giving that guy money.

I was going to call you a nigger, but even they aren't low enough to steal textbooks

I just photocopy them.
Have every single one but only handful are worth the paper they are printed on.

>>8716989
paper costs 4 cents a page and I get 400 page free print quota. 800 pages worth of textbook printing o each page.

I need to start doing this.

>Who gives a fuck if 1729 is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of two cubes two different ways?

Number theorists care. If you are not a number theorist then you shouldn't care.

Why do number theorists care? Because the job of a number theorists is to prove theorems about the numbers. Now, you may be telling yourself that "1729 is the smallest number such that..." is not a "real" theorem and you would be right, so why do they care about little statements like that? Simple.

How do you advance number theory? How do you decide which new theorem could be true and therefore deserves your time and effort to investigate it? Well, simple. By having a list of facts about numbers.

What facts? Any fact. Anything goes because the next big theorem could be hidden in ANY statement. Number theorists care about the random facts that show the structure of numbers.

For the 1729 thing there are many things that could be asked. For example: What characteristic of the natural numbers makes it so that no number smaller than 1729 can be written as the sum of two cubes in two different ways?

What is the answer to that question. Well, now we know. We know that numbers that have that property must also satisfy certain properties outlined here:

https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals/JIS/VOL6/Broughan/broughan25.pdf

And if you assume a number less than 1729 has those properties then you will soon reach a contradiction.

And how did that author "discover" that theorem? Probably by studying 1729 and the numbers that follow it and finding what they have in common.

And now you may be saying "okay okay, but why do you care about these theorems"

Well, simple. To find those theorems we

I mean, it wasn't the farming and relying on storable food grains that built massive civilizations.... right???

I did my undergrad in Canada, which in total cost me roughly $8,000. Now I've been accepted at MIT for grad school, and not only are they paying my tuition, but I get a $30,000 stipend. Nothing is wrong with me.

I was gonna say bullshit, but then I did check those colors in paint and can't find any red. Weird.

This just proves how extraordinary The Mind Of God Is.

Define red. Red to us isnt one wavlength. Human eye is pretty insensitive to different wavelengths in that part of the spectrum.

wouldn't the ensuing parasite and disease burden make it obsolete?

that is a good point but i think we would be able to keep those things away with a little effort
