You have written out that shitter of a question, it was not asked in your uni course.

Come clean anon, just by looking at that I would be highly surprised if it had solutions.

>>8714570
nice try dude. take your homework somewhere else

>>8714570
bait
or you go to a very shitty uni

Sequences have infinitely many elements. Polynomials can only have finitely many roots. Lagrange polynomials are irrelevant, but the determination of the sequence's next element is completely arbitrary.

This 13,000kg payload was including reuse
The 22,800kg payload is expendable payload

Though certainly there has been increases in performance

my ass
I think its untrue actually.

the program would be useless since DNA is just like an encyclopedia filled with genes that tell ribosomes how to make proteins by sequencing different amino acids. Translating it into C would be like getting a recipe on how to make victoria sponge cake and putting it in a car manual. They are completely different and require different tools, different mechanisms, different parts/ingredients, etc.

>>8713835
You see...that is where the magic really happens. When someone can edit a cake recipe and translate it into a car again.

If no catgirls = 1
make catgirls

Wtf does that mean translate genetic code into DNA ?

I've never liked watching someone else do something/talk through it, then expect me do it. I agree its much better to have written instructions.

>lab tech tells you to turn gain to 10V

I fail to see what this has to do with spatial reasoning.

>>8713627
>I predict a poor and unfortunate future ahead of me if I cannot visualize instructions given by people who are too cruel to provide instructions.
Who gives a shit about spatial reasoning? You can predict the fucking future, m8.

the universe isn't infinitely large nor infinitely old

>>8713575
Do you have any evidence that supports that assertion?

I might claim that the Ultra Deep Field photo supports the hypothesis that the universe is infinitely old and therefore infinitely large, because if you wait long enough you'll expose an image of something very far away. If you wait longer you'll see something even farther away.

>>8713589
I do. You'll surely arrive at the trivial evidence by thinking it about yourself. Instead of asking stupid questions.

Planting trees

>>8713318
I've done research on that and it apparently doesn't work that well. Trees don't take that much carbon.

but mummy and daddy arent

What's 1080?

Literally everyone thinks that. Work ethic is a huge component of intelligence, if you think you're smart but lazy you're not smart, you're just dumb. Smart people are people who achieve things in life.

>>8712411
They achieve things because they work hard, things that could be achieved by anyone given enough effort.

>>8712402
Being smart literally just means that you make choices that benefit you.

>>8712319
I think it depends on what you're working on and where.

>>8712319
damn, it was my childhood dream, too bad i live in a shit tier 3rd world european country so to actually be in top tier observatory and see planets with my own eyes is kind a unlikely and it kills me

how many people are there in the world that get to work at these top tier places? 100?

I'm only a PhD student but I'm looking for a postdoc at the moment.

If you love the work it's pretty good. It is stressful, and hugely competitive. Most of my time is spent coding or writing, I'm an observer so I spend my time reducing data. It can be tedious at times if you get bogged down in a project you lose interest in. The good points are that the work can be rewarding, the bad point is the lack of job security. I'm in the market for a postdoc now but I will have to re-apply in a year or two. You do get to travel a bit, I've observed at a couple big telescopes including the AAT and the VLT. I also got to use the Hubble Space Telescope for 14 orbits last cycle.

Jesus Christ, what a way to fall from glory.

I know some web devs into functional programming, respect to those dudes. But regular web dev, nah no thanks.

the number alone is meaningless without knowing the scale being used

stanford-binet is the most popular, and it considers 140+ to be genius, and has standard deviation of 15

this is sincerely too long to read anyone can summarise?

It's useful for the insurance industry & government to be able to claim disabled people can recover, if only they will rehabilitate themselves. The UK government funded poorly designed research from researchers with insurance industry COIs that claimed to find Cognitive Behavoural Therapy and Exercise Therapy allowed mnay patients with ME.CFS to recover (figures given varied from 40%-22%).

However, even ignoring the problems with trial design, they had spun their data. A patient fought a long legal campaign (which the researchers attempted to present as a form of harassment) to force the release of trial data. He won the case, and the data revealed that treatment did with CBT/exercise did not lead to a significantly greater chance of recovery (according to the QMUL researcher's pre-specified recovery criteria) than a control group that had no additional treatment.

This is one of those stories where the more you read into the details, the more interesting it becomes. The way in which the researchers spun their results, and then ran a campaign attacking patients for attacking their work, is worrying. Even now that lots of US researchers are criticising them, they still might get away with it as UK academia is so founded on personal networks.

The Undark article above is a short one.

This is another lengthy piece I'm afraid: http://www.centreforwelfarereform.org/news/major-breaktn-pace-trial/00296.html

That last piece has a quote from Trevor Butterworth, direcotr of Sense About Science USA:

"PACE is turning out to be the science controversy of the decade: it indicts the medical ecosystem of review"

Theoretical Partical Physics

I wouldn't say it's too difficult. Math is harder overall.

>99. Computer Science...
No. Please, don't make laugh.
The amount of idiots who are able to comprehend this is astounding.
There are some intelligent people drawn to the field, but they are just drawn, and generally not challenged (unless, of course, they are specifically dealing with the Mathematics areas/Data Structures/the such. Easiest subject to study as long as you don't plan on writing your own protocols or innovating.)

t. someone switched from CS because of how fucking boring and easy it was (not to mention all the stupid people).

Ok, mathfags, excuse my brainlet question, but how the fuck can 1+2+3+4.... not equal 1+1+1+1....? Any number is a sum of some number of 1s, so it's just the same thing rearranged a bit, no?

How is the -1/12 thing derived?

>>8705843
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww

This is simplified but they link to a more hardened proof. Note that it doesn't actually "equal" -1/12 because it doesn't converge, but it is intimately related to -1/12.
