Once the weight of a glacier moves from being supported by land to being supported by water (floating), the effect on sea level occurs. Whether that mass of water is solid or liquid doesn't matter. That means the impact on sea level rise is based in the glacier sliding off the land, not when it melts.

@linvillejeffrey 2 года назад

So I need clarification of how this has the potential to raise sea levels a foot or two immediately and 8 foot when it melts...? Am I missing something about the volume of water?

@ckl9390 2 года назад

@@linvillejeffrey The Thwaites Glacier alone will raise sealevel by about 1-2' by displacement or melting as it much of it's mass is currently suspended out of the water. This could happen in short order upon the glacier collapsing. The additional ~8' is from the West Antarctic Ice Shelf, which is mostly sitting on land or above sea level, either melting or sloughing off into the sea and displacing water. This could still be an increase over the course of decades, but if large chunks the size of small countries fall in then an almost immediate and proportional change will occur. The Ice shelves that are already suspended in water don't increase sea level when melted because their mass of ice already displaces it's weight of water. You can test this yourself. Take a glass and fill it about half way with water, mark a line, then add a few ice cubes as long as they are freely floating, mark a line, then wait for them to melt. The glass should still be at the same line as it was before. The previous difference in volume represents when Ice that was not previously freely floating fell in from above water level. It should be the same as if you had a glass at the same level and took the same ice cubes and held them over the mouth of the glass in a sieve to melt out of the water.

Hi Joe! Once the ice shelf slips off of a land base and is entirely in the water the rise in the oceans will be fairly instantaneous. Just like slipping an ice cube into a glass of water. We would not have to wait for the ice to melt. The displacement is automatic.

I'm a constitutional lawyer. Your answer to the privacy question was fine, though it is a bit more complicated than that. It's not only the 14th amendment, but the 14th started a line of interpretation of incorporating different areas of the constitution together because it fundamentally changed the nature of what the Constitution was. It is sometimes called the 2nd founding because it had such broad implications. In the realm of privacy, they incorporated privacy issues in a bunch of different amendments, including the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 14th. They began interpreting what constitutional principles exist that the 14th amendment guarantees must be applied and incorporated. And privacy is the most significant of those issues. Other countries have privacy much more explicitly in their constitutions, leading generally to better decisions on the issue. We're kind of stuck teasing out what we can from a pretty limited text, which has some pros and some cons.

@milesrout 2 года назад

The fact is that the US Constitution says nothing about privacy. The best way to tell is this: if it had some explicit clause relating to privacy, would anyone interpret the rest to say anything about it? Of course not. People only read 'privacy' into the US Constitution because they want to, not because it's there. And it's only a sacred cow because highly politicised issues were decided on the basis of this interpretation. That doesn't make the interpretation right. It just reinforces how dangerous it is to have a virtually unamendable Constitution, the interpretation of which is used to establish national social policy.

@eacaraxe 2 года назад

@@milesrout Because it does not have to. Privacy is a necessary condition for assembly, free exercise, prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure, immunity from self-incrimination, and substantive due process. Without privacy, and and all of the above rights, privileges, and immunities guaranteed by the Constitution not only fail to function, they fail to exist. That is not mere interpretation, it is a fundamental fact the Fourth and Fifth Amendments in particular are explicit outlines to a right to privacy -- namely, that against police power. This is why strict constructionism is the single most dangerous legal theory in American jurisprudence.

@goatse99 2 года назад

@@milesrout Maybe we aren't all using the same definition of privacy. You don't have a positive right to somehow stop others from knowing things about you (like the euro-continental right to be forgotten, which would never fly in the US), but the fourth amendment is intended to be a clear restraint on the government's ability to collect information about you.

For the hardware/software question there is actually an intermediate between the two that we call firmware. (get it?) This is basically code that's permanently stored on the hardware because it's required for the hardware to even boot or function. These days it's common for firmware to be upgradable, but that wasn’t always the case. It use to be flashed onto write once memory chips so they had to be damn sure it worked before they went to production.

@tomaszlis993 2 года назад

@@gabrielkarczewski4453 It doesn't change the _physical_ layout, the physical layout of FPGA just has a ton of flip-flops and other accessories connected everything-to-everything (almost). The connections are not just wires though, each one has a transistor which can be opened - so connections can be broken by driving those transistors. The bitstream opens most of the connections, leaving a circuit which makes sense. So logical layout of the chip got changed, but not physical one - as soon as you cut power, you have everything-to-everything connected again. (I did simplified a lot of things above)

@MrZnarffy 2 года назад

It's more complex than that..In reality the border is fuzzy, as you have things like FPGAs,and while the "hardware" in a FPGA is fixed, when you program it, the hardware functionality changes..

Focus is not the same because land sarcopterygians added a cornea to correct the difference of refractive index between the air and virtuous humor. Regardless, the evolutionary aspect of light sensation isn't dependent on water. Visible light energizes electrons without ionizing them. This allows proteins to use that light without getting damaged. UV opsins have evolved as well even though it tends to ionize, because it's useful.

As a comment on the modified em spectrum sensitivity question. When I was young I was convinced that I could hear electricity because I heard clear tones on flashing lights. Car lights on motorways that flashed between the central safety barrier was probably the first memory. Then flashing led on stereo. It just got gradually more through my life to the point where I guess I have some sort of Synesthesia. I imagine being able to see a wider em spectrum may be like this. Best description I have is with music to light sensations it is like the shadow you get from looking at bright lights, but they have various colours and sit in your vision and to the outside of it like beyond your peripheral. Also they pulse to music. To be clear this is really annoying when tired and trying to speak with people.

And what would happen would be chain reactions. A bright light makes you smell oranges. The smell of oranges makes you itchy. Itchiness makes you dizzy. Dizziness sounds like a trumpet. Trumpets make you see bright lights. And then back to smelling oranges. That kind of feedback loop would be a true mess.

Melting has an impact, but not nearly as big an impact of sliding into the sea. Warmer water takes up more space. It is a small effect (you don't see it in, for example, a glass of water or even a lake), but over the course of the whole ocean, it isn't insignificant.

I think the discrete difference between hardware and software that's been missed here is hardware uses gate logic (AND, OR, XOR, and NOT) and runs in parallel, while software is run through a CPU, where it's decoded, and is executed sequentially (at least sequentially per CPU/Core). FPGAs are programmable chips, but they still use gate logic and are written in VHDL. Where as software is ultimately whittled down to binary code which is passed through a CPU. Now the difference between firmware and software does have a lot of gray areas, but firmware is more of a subset of software; it's still passed through a CPU.

@jacobh9241 Год назад

FPGAs are often used to replace some essential hardware in a system, like with a software-defined radio. Radios are often very dependent on very specific hardware that is not common between various applications. And there are a LOT of different applications for radios. FPGAs can alleviate that to some extent by allowing for 1 set of hardware to be used for multiple applications. But replacing hardware makes them seem like hardware--even though I agree with you that their programmable nature makes them more "software-like".

@PGH Engineer It appears that there are fractures in the glacier that, based on the rate they are expanding, could lead to a chunk of glacier [the size of Florida is what I've heard elsewhere] breaking loose from the rest of the glacier. This chunk would drop into the basin displacing a huge amount of water. Probably not the total volume of the chunk but a large percentage [think of an ice cube dropped into a bowl of water]. This water has to go somewhere and I believe the basin is connected to the ocean, even if is only a small channel. This is certainly going to cause a local tsunami. I don't know how long it takes for the wavefront of a tsunami to die down as it spreads out from its point of origin. However, if it is going to raise "sea-level" by 30 cm as scientists predict, I would think that would be one hell of a wavefront that could reach a lot of seacoasts. However, even if the initial wave front does not impact a coastline itself, the rising of sea-level by 30 cm is going to have drastic consequences within days [?] to all seacoasts. This is entirely different than the slow melting of the glacier.

12:14 The way I think of it is as a phase transition to one of the quantum condensate states. You recall from high school science class that there are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas & plasma. And you recall the names for the processes which transition one state to the other. For example, "melting" is the state transition from solid to liquid, "freezing" is liquid to solid, "boiling" is liquid to gas, and the processes going to/from plasma are "ionisation"/"recombination" respectively. Except... There are more than four states of matter. You have the Bose-Einstein condensates, the Fermi condensates, amorphous solids, superfluids, superconductors, neutronium, quark degenerate matter, non-equilibrium matter (remember your Time Crystals video?), antimatter, dark matter. And only one of those states are made up. In the MIT case, they are using Quantum Hall degenerate matter. We're nearly there. Those verbs we use to describe transitioning from one state to another: freezing, melting, sublimation; what's the verb for creating supercold QH matter?

As such some very far away and red shifted galaxies we see today should actually be moving faster than light relative to us NOW, but they weren't when light was emmited. So even if we can see them we could never reach them since they're now not in the observable universe anymore. So since we KNOW they exist because we saw them, but they ovetime passed the cosmological horizon, then we can know there are galaxies outside of the observable universe. Also it's because the observable universe isn't a THING, it's just a radius around every object, so you and i have slightly different observable universes, it would be like saying that your observable universe is more important than mine. A galaxy relatively far away from us should be able to see things we can't, and we can see things they can't. It's not a real "edge", it's not material and has no significance and is entirely based on refference frame. If it was a real edge it would be super weird that the universe is centered perfectly around us.

Dr. Stephen Novella pointed out that, while yes, heart attacks go up that week, they even out and over the course of the month following daylight savings, they're about the same. People who are likely to get a heart attack in the next month become more likely to get it a little sooner.

My 2¢ on the software vs hardware as both an electrical engineer and software developer is that you cannot technically separate hardware from software as cpus (hardware) change the number of bytes of your data types. 16 bit to 32 bit to 64 bit cpu changes altered what size your data types could be, requiring you to write and compile your software differently. Additionally, different brands of processors require different ways of processing (ARM vs x86 for example). Yes, this affects Assembly, C++ and C more than it does Java, C#, PYTHON, etc, but the byte code and interpreters have to account for it. In short, it is kind of an illusion to make the distinction between the two.

I am also a EE who writes software, and in my mind, the distinction between hardware and software is that you can change software without risk of ESD.

@jacobh9241 Год назад

@@eventhisidistaken I used to follow ESD procedures while connecting leads from a UART cable to the input pins for an FPGA. I did this to change the "software" which was programmed in VHDL. I have no idea where to draw the line in that scenario.

Software vs Hardware: Software is always in memory hardware is always constant. You change the data in the memory to augment the data path and to change how that data flows in the hardware lets say in the cpu. Even in FPGAs you program the LUTS memory so the blocks act like specific hardware according to what is stored in their memory. You only "program" the hardware while designing it or while melting fuses in PLA/PAL.

Damn, no explanation in the comments and I'm too dumb to provide one myself. Here's a bad joke instead: Why did they call the period between the 5th and 14th centuries the dark ages? It's because there were so many knights.

Re: Thwaites - does a iceberg need to melt to raise the ocean level? It's said that 10% of an iceberg is above water so wouldn't it actually displace more while it's still frozen? This sounds like a little kitchen science experiment!

It's not an iceberg it's a glacier. It's on land.

@@bwalters7777777 While its on land its not displacing water in the ocean... once it breaks free and is in the water it displaces the same amount whether its melted or frozen and floating on the top of the water. You can look up on youtube many videos of ice melting in water and how the water level stays the same as the ice cube melts. The main issue with glaciers on the Antarctica and Greenland is the ones that are land locked and how much they will raise the oceans when they break loose and melt. Theres a lot of glaciers connected to Antarctica that are already over water and it wont matter for ocean levels when they break free or melt since they are already displacing water.

@@driverjayne No the part that is calving is not on land, unless you think they have subs that can go underground too. Why do fear addicted people lose the ability to think?

@driverjayne 2 года назад

@nustada I'll talk slowly so you'll understand. The ice shelf holding the glacier is on the ocean. The glacier is on land. That's why it's a glacier. The ice shelf isn't the thing that is going to cause the sea level rise. But when it melts enough to break free a huge fucking glacier will slide off the land and into the water. You're the one who is so afraid of the truth you've buried your head in the sand and refuse to listen to people who actually study this shit and know what they're talking about.
