Would you consider gas technician a science.
currently taking it and we do a considerable amount of chemistry on paper. The course's actually name is HRAC??

Hello /sci/!
I'm being curious and I'm struggling hard to find a reliable answer on the internet, so here is my problem. What is the TOTAL margin of error in our current knowledge/measurement of the speed of light?
Wikipedia only partially answers on the following article:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre#Distance_travelled_by_light_in_a_specified_time
Several limiting factors are listed, but only a few of them are given numeric values, and I suspect there may be more limiting factors, non-listed in the article.
I'm interested in the numbers as well as in their explanations.
[spoiler]Obviously, don't express your answer in metters, as the metter is defined by the speed of light. Instead, you can use as a length unit things like the wenglenth of a laser, the Planck's length, or a simple percentage (as in "±1%").[/spoiler]

planck length is hypothetical and doesn't exist idiot. ask a question based on reality and not pop-sci next time.

Your brain is using too much power and if you don't do anything about it, you will die. In order to survive, you must choose one of the three brain systems to shut off. Doing this will make the other two work three-hundred percent more efficiently, but, you permanently lose the system you chose to shut down.
Which of the three brain systems do you shut off and why?

I want to not die. And I want to be able to remember things. So goodbye, limbic.
>>
Quite the "delima", but I'd take death over any of those options,
>>
>>7775409
You won't remember much for very long without a limbic system. But yeah, the other options are death and brain death, so goodbye emotions I guess.

How much Technical (Software/IT) knowledge does a 1st year anyone of the above corporate roles (Software Sales Engineer / Solutions Architect / Technical Account Executive) actually need to know?
I'm great at selling B2B, however I am trying to gauge how many months I am going to need to study C# at 10 hours a week in between my current job in order to achieve at anyone of the above three roles within a company.
Thanks for the advice.

Want to know if there is a better way to go about this problem.
Something nags at me that expanding the squares after squaring both sides is unnecessarily tedious.

if you write y= (1+i)z = sqrt(2)*exp(i*pi/4)*z,
then y describes the circle of center 2 and of radius 4
which means z describes the circle of center 2 and of radius 2sqrt(2)
>>
>>7775217
also maybe I'm just saying shit so be careful.
>>
>>7775203
You definitely want to isolate the z so maybe do (1+i)z-2=(1+i)(z-(1-i))?

Why is desalinization such an expensive and underutilized process? It seems relatively simple, especially in wealthy, modern countries.

It takes a fuckton of energy to boil water.

It really isn't very expensive, just an effect of capitalism and supply and demand

There is no need for desalination.

100% the same thing. One time I read a linear algebra book and one of the pages was just pure sheet music. I then had to take an exam where I had to prove a statement using music.

if you're looking to find out how, it won't satiate your discomfort.
If you're looking to find a purpose for it's development, not only will you never find it but you're in the wrong board...

There is no why in science only how. If u want answers to bad there are none.

Personally, I find stuff that needs plenty of memorization more difficult than mathematics. I get bored as fuck having to memorise loads of stuff.

Biology is a pretty broad field. There's cellular bio, microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, genetics, zoology, you can't really make generalizations about it

Also, Nasa has been doing some 3d printing in space but today it's only plastic extrusion.
How about metals? We are pretty advanced on this tech on earth (like this breadboard engine) but on the ISS it doesn't seem to be in the pipe on shorterm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGWPR0mcCLs
what are the complications that would make it hard to do in space?
I suppose the layering of metal wouldn't work in microgravity?

So for practical reasons, the powder layer would probably be unpractical, it would fly on all directions. But that can be compensated if the aparatus rotates on itself at a high enough speed to create some kind of microgravity that would maintain the powder in place through centrifuge force.
Now the finishing of the part might prove trickier, see the vid.

Aren't there apps that removes the blue light? Like f.lux? I don't think grayscale would do much of a difference actually.
