Absolutely incredible band

That too 😂

The greenhouse effect still has a limit to how much it can trap.

At the end of the day infrared radiation is still basically light.

Even on the cloudiest day, or when there is super dense smoke or ash, it is still not pitch black out. Some light gets through. If you are looking into a mirror, it might seem like it reflects 100% of light. But they only reflect around 95%.

You would require something which can let through 100% of all sunlight, but still trap 99.5% from leaving.

You could have a look at how one-way mirrors work, to understand the percentages of light passed through and reflected.

Data comes from NASA planetary fact sheets (amazing resource btw).

Overall equation structure:

Circular area that can receive sunlight: pi x radius ^ 2

Total incoming power : solar irradiance x circular area

Spherical area : 4 x pi x radius ^ 2

Black body radiation : stefan-boltzmann constant x Area x Temperature ^ 4

You know have incoming power and outgoing power.

Percentage : 100 x (Outgoing - incoming) / outgoing

I don’t think so.

Even out at Mars you already have significantly diminished solar incidence.

I think that past Saturn you probably start to have so little incoming solar energy that it’s almost impossible to retain it.

EDIT:

Saturn receives around 1% of the solar irradiance of earth.

Pluto receives 0.064%. less than 1W/m2.

With a radius of 1188km, the absolute maximum incident solar energy is 3.8E12 W. (Assuming no efficiency loss as the angle of incidence decreases due to curvature)

The radiating surface is the full sphere, and using Earth’s black body temperature of 254K.

Therefore, Pluto would be radiating approximately 5.67E-8 x 254^4 x 4 x pi x 1188000 ^2 = 7.38 E14.

In other words, you would need to retain at least 99.5% of all energy emitted by pluto. Mirrors reflect around 95% of visible light, and infrared is even more difficult to reflect.

What a horseshit title.

Everything has a cost. Usually of the same type as what you are buying.

You can usually reword security/stability as a type of freedom. The freedom to have a guaranteed income usually costs some of the freedom to choose where/when/how you work. For example.

You might say that you will pay for the freedom to not have school shootings with the freedom to have free access to guns. You lose one freedom to gain another.

You are correct that to some degree they are antonyms, but I would say that it’s freedom vs stability. It’s just that security is a type of stability.

If you break them down more mathematically freedom is represented as infinite possible trajectories, which is in other words a very unstable position. In order to increase stability you must reduce the possible trajectories.

He did it twice. And it was very clear.

I would add that I think checking out and joining smaller instances is also a great opportunity. Distributes the user load across servers and being one of fewer voices in an instance means you have a bigger say in who you federate with. You also get to be a third party instance to most of the big drama and don’t get judged just for your instance as much

Edit: also, if you like your instance, contribute to it!

Lots of great software already posted, but with some complaints about windows inefficiencies I can’t believe no one has posted:

Microsoft PowerToys https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

Basically, it’s a suite of tools that windows devs have made to make their lives easier while working in windows. Some features have made it into actual windows releases over the years, but most not.

It has an always on top, batch rename, customisable window snapping, better search, keyboard key remapper, mouse across multiple devices, colour eyedropper, and many many more.

Absolute must have for anyone that uses windows regularly.
