let A be the circle with diameter a
let B be the circle with diameter b
let C be the circle with diameter a+b
[(A+B)/2] - [B/2] + [A/2] = the shaded area

You should define A, B, and C as the areas of the circles of their respective letters, not just the circles

This chick is dumber than the sun is hot and you think anything she said is remotely thought provoking or worthy of discussing? And what the fuck does "compatible" mean? Why does this matter? If you wanted a real discussion you wouldn't have come to one of the most vehemently biased forums on the Internet. Take this shitty feminism meme to /pol/.

Irrelevant. The fuck would feminism improve about science?

In relation to the inflation hypothesis, what does our universe ‘exist in’?
I mean to ask, what exists outside of the universe(s)?
Is it an infinite dimensional Hilbert space?
>Pic related; yes it's a wholly inaccurate artistic representation, but you get the idea.
Also what’s imaginary time all about?

Presumably the crust would collapse and everybody would die.
I don't know if the collapse would release enough energy to liquefy the crust though

>>8254910
You wouldn't be doing this instantaneously so I would assume that there would be large areas of devistation from earthquakes/folding of massive amounts of crust layers, large islands forming, possible extinction level event in most oceans from the toxic crap that comes out of the folds onto the surface. Other than that though we'd all be A-ok

It's over.
Computer's are finished.
No more computational progression.
Only 5 years left of progress.
>b-but quantum computer
No they're useless for anything other than encryption and quantum physics simulation.
Even if we find a new material, it will last a decade or so before it reaches atom-level.
Goodbye, forever.

How do you deal with shitty collaborators?
I'm analyzing this super cool data set that was collected by someone else. The woman who collected the data came to my PI because she wanted to do a number of complex analyses but lacked the expertise to do them, so my PI asked if I could do it. The project is pretty exciting, and I have enough results for a high impact paper.
The only problem is that this woman is completely unreliable. I need some additional files that contain critical info, otherwise we won't be able to publish. She keeps making promises to send the files but then sends an excuse last minute (high school level shit, like 'I lost my laptop charger') or sends the wrong files. Moreover, she's not doing her part when it comes to the writing. I've been waiting multiple weeks for her to add small sections to the manuscript, so she's delaying the process. This is especially annoying considering that at the start of the project she was really pushing me to do the analyses as soon as possible so I crunched about a months worth of code in the span of 9 days.
I talked to my PI about it, but he can't do much considering we need her for the project, and in the end it's her data.
So how do you deal with people like this? Anyone with similar experiences?

what does it mean when a girl looks at you like this? Does she want help with her homework or something/
>>
>>8245535
Drop her and stop working until she gets her shit together.
The moment she stopped contributing was the moment you should have stopped working too.
>>
>>8245539
She is looking at a magazine you fucking beta orbiter. I know your only interaction with women is helping them with homework but not everything they do is related to that.
Her eyes look like she just caught you looking at her rack and she is socially pissed about it.
