Some say JSON is like JavaScript.
What can this even mean?
How can a data format be like a programming language??
Also, how does JSON differ from an (algebraic) data type? Like trees.

According to /sci/, wat do with nuclear waste? Are any long term non sci-fi solutions feasible?

>>8105599
Yes. The really short version is we dig a very deep hole, a "bore hole", and dump the waste down there. Problem solved.
For a longer version, see this link:

We already know the solution: Bury it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor
Oklo was effectively a natural Uranium reactor (using rainwater as moderator) that "operated" for hundreds of thousands years nearly 2 billion years ago. Yet despite this, most of the stable fission products and actinides from these "reactors" moved only CENTIMETERS in their veins.
This is not a scientific issue anymore. It is only a political one.

Can East Asian culture be explained by a genetic tendency to produce more oxytocin?
The cult of kawaii. Emphasis on nostalgia for home and childhood. Passive xenophobia. Weird highschool-like circlejerk atmosphere in the workplace. Emphasis on family relationships. More feminine men and more feminine women (not in terms of low testosterone and high estrogen so much as high oxytocin in both.) Meek friendliness to others combined with sense of distance from outsiders. Conformism.
It all fits.

Don't blacks also have high oxytocin levels. Doesn't oxytocin make you religious? Aren't asians secularized people? I'd say it explains blacks more

I have a possibly retarded but honest question sci.
There are two balls, i apply force to the first ball and it moves, i apply force to the second ball but it doesn't move, if the first ball move because i applied force to it then did the second ball also not move because i applied a force to it?

What the fuck? Did you apply the same force to both balls? Do both balls bave the same mass? Are both balls on the same surface? Did your parents drop you on your head? Is this bait? Next week, on Dragonball Z....

I did something that annoyed some, they said me doing the thing caused them to be annoyed, i said them being annoyed wasn't caused by the annoyance because that would be similar to saying me doing "something" causes someone that's not annoyed by it to not be annoyed it.

Can you refine metals by distilling ore?
If you get metals hot enough, they melt and boil right?
So can you distill them?

I googled "distill metal" and found
>Refining of volatile metals like mercury, zinc etc. is done by distillation.
Try harder next time.
>>
>>8104379
Yes but those metals have a low boiling point... mercury is liquid at room temp dude.
I meant something like distilling iron.
>>
Sounds like a waste of energy. Distillation is separation of mixed liquids.
With solid metals, they either sink or swim on top. No need to get them to gaseous phase.

The teacher is NOT a professor, it's not difficult to distinguish between academic titles, stop calling your teacher/lecturer a professor. I know you're all still in grade 6, but that's not an excuse for this kind of blatant ignorance.

Solar panel efficiency vs extraction cost? Don't solar panels deplete?
13 Posts / 2 Images
View this topic
>>
>>8104095
This interests me. However, please be more specific.
Yes, solar cells degrade over time. It's an unavoidable problem IIRC because when solar rays that hit electrons to cause a current, that same process also slowly degrades the solar cell.
What do you mean by extraction cost? And what do you want to know about it and solar panel efficiencies?
>>
>>8105474
Yeah, no chemical process is completely reversible. Everything degrades. It's unavoidable. That being said, I think the issue right now is the total carbon cost of extracting semiconductor materials from the ground. Is it actually carbon neutral, or are we using a fuckton of fossil fuels in the mining and manufacturing process that won't be recouped during the operational lifetime of the PV cells.
>>
>>8105524
"True believers" in renewables will tell you that it will eventually be powered with renewables entirely.
When you do a systems analysis, e.g. an end to end analysis, one finds that solar alone cannot support the production of more solar, and also sustain our modern standard of living. For further reading, I suggest starting here:
