Mr. Jessop, not my forte, but isn't gravity one of the four basic forces in the universe?
Mr. Eagles, here and there? He stomped around Italy for over a decade. He had the most audacious march in history, the most devastating ambush in history and the most crushing battlefield victory in history.
That's my point, he was leading for 15 out of what 16 years and still lost the war.
Who wins the grand prix, the chap leading the first 70 laps or the one who crosses the finishing line first?
I mean what sort of crap general wins the first 15 years of a war, then loses the war in the last year?
If right, it may solve some of the problems facing physics. And probably create new ones at the same time ...
Much as I like physics, more engineering ought to be the focus.
Particularly on mahoosive rockets.
Some research into the properties of oxygen and helium at low temperatures would be handy mind
Particularly when in close proximity to, and filling, composite-overwrapped pressure vessels, perchance?
I'm very sceptical that SpaceX can solve the problem by altering the loading sequence. That may well work, but what happens when they have to unload because of a launch delay, and then reload shortly afterwards? Temperature profiles will be all over the place.
Much safer to put the COPVs outside the LO tank IMO, but that would involve a significant redesign.
Jeez, what a narcissistic knob the disgraced Liam Fox is
So, what are the current batch of civil servants getting up to? Well, over in the Department for International Trade, Mr S understands that reading is high on the agenda. Word reaches Steerpike that Liam Fox has instructed his civil servants to read Rising Tides: Facing the Challenges of a New Era — a book that aims to explain ‘how to meet the challenge of the new global reality’. And which bright spark is the author of the tome? A man by the name of… Liam Fox. Well, that’s one way to increase book sales.

Stuff warms up when they delay a launch, doesn't chill down further - so not an issue I think. (Too warm is also bad but doesn't lead to RUD)

So the report was written without any insight into what is actually going on? You'd have thought they would have clarified that pretty pronto.
All those extra experts we'll need to employ to get Brexit through? Forget it. Something tells me the Govt. just deleted Deloittes from their speed-dial....
But what Brexit means was not decided by the referendum.
No. But what was decided was Brexit. We're going out.
Yes
Nope.
That's your view, as one of the second group. Many (most?) of the first group wouldn't agree. And therein lies the problem.
Selling any deal where we remain in some EU or European institutions - and especially pay into it - will be really difficult. Perhaps impossibly so.
It's a mess, and I don't see any easy solutions. I daresay you do, but you're not being realistic IMO.
I don't think there's any Brexit deal where we remain in some EU or European institutions. There's the customs union, of course, but that isn't the same as being part of the EU, and nor is it an institution. Even the EEA means quitting the ECJ. We will remain a member of the ECHR and Council of Europe (for the time being) no matter what.
I think paying into the EU is different, as long as the government can demonstrate its for access, with a net benefit trading gain, and a net saving, and not a compulsory membership fee. As usual, voters will weight up the costs and benefits for themselves.
And, for the record, I'm probably more of a hard Brexiteer than the latter, for what it's worth. I'd be satisfied with either. Just more satisfied with the former.
This whole "a-ha! you Brexiteers can't agree amongst yourselves what you want!" has always been viewed as be some sort of killer argument by Remainers since Day 1, but it fails to take account that the no.1 objective of Brexiteers is to quit because we viewed remaining in the EU as a neverending escalator to closer harmonisation and integration.
(And I'm perfectly realistic, thank you very much.)

Probably reasonable to think that Deloitte won't be commissioned for government work anytime soon, and that one of its employees is looking for fresh pastures. Interested to see the Times take.

Yes , mention of a town council by election in Crewe. Brian Silvester , UKIP candidate rather foolishly boasted yesterday that he had 9,737 followers on twitter and his Labour opponent had just 17 . Less than 24 hours later he now has 9,786 bur Natasha Maroni now has 14,166 . Perhaps the Conservative candidate will win , he is not on twitter at all .
@Tissue_Price That admission begs more questions than it answers.
You can't blame Deloitte of course: they have an interest in securing future instructions from HMG.
I suspect that their PR office and lawyers have had a very busy day. No doubt this "admission" was dictated to them in very precise terms. And the idiot who wrote the memo in the first place is probably working on his CV as we speak.

Cameron?
I made that exact analogy a few months ago
But much like Hannibal defeating the Romans in the early part of The Second Punic War, Cameron may have won some battles but ultimately lost the war (to stop the Tories banging on about Europe.)
Mr. Jessop, not my forte, but isn't gravity one of the four basic forces in the universe?
(Snip).
Indeed (*). Weak and strong nuclear, electromagnetism, and gravity. Gravity's by far the weakest of the four, which is why a small toy magnet can overcome the entirety of Earth's gravity when it picks up a paperclip.
What this guy appears to be saying is that if you assume gravity is not a fundamental force but an *effect* of other things, then much of the messiness and kluges involving things like dark matter disappear.
(*) Not apologising this time. What are you readers going to do about it, eh?
After Donald Trump’s election as president, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp., took to Facebook to comment on the upcoming shift from Obama to Melania Trump, reportedly writing: “It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.”

I hope you're right! But if some things warm up a a slower rate than others, then you have a different temperature differential at the start of the refill. P'haps. I got confused just reading up on helium's behaviour when compressed and expanded ...
Still, looks like they're going for a return-to-flight next month. Let's hope it goes without a bang.

Even if it was not intended to be racially derogatory (which I doubt) it's still an awful comment to describe any woman as an "ape".
Absolutely. The fact that Michelle Obama is classy, beautiful and dignified really does not come into it. In this country I think this would be prosecutable. A sick, sick individual.

Not sure what Trump means for NASA or space, most people think Earth science is going to be utterly shafted - though republicans seem more keen on HSF than the DEMs.
If a victory is won by pandering to the basest instincts of the electorate, it's unsurprising when parts of that selfsame electorate feels able to express their basest instincts. We've seen it with Brexit and now we're seeing it with Donald Trump's victory. It's utterly predictable.

Sky making a humilating retreat from the Deloitte story. This incident demonstrates how Sky, BBC and others just swallow any story that assists their remain agenda.
The British people deserve much better, by all means report against Brexit when they have researched and authenticated a story but also report pro Brexit stories with the same zeal

He said open borders and free movement for skilled migrants were "absolutely" important to the success of the technology sector in the UK. It was Mr Pichai's first European broadcast interview since he became chief executive last year. Sources at the technology company also said if barriers were thrown up to skilled immigration following the vote to leave the European Union, some of Google's investment could be at risk.

"Free movement applies to me in the sense that the employee himself earns the money he needs for himself and his family in the other member state," she said.
Blimey if she had agreed that with Dave who knows where we would be now.
Remaining
That is what we're doing via a more circuitous route.
I don't think there's any Brexit deal where we remain in some EU or European institutions. There's the customs union, of course, but that isn't the same as being part of the EU, and nor is it an institution. Even the EEA means quitting the ECJ. We will remain a member of the ECHR and Council of Europe (for the time being) no matter what.
I think paying into the EU is different, as long as the government can demonstrate its for access, with a net benefit trading gain, and a net saving, and not a compulsory membership fee. As usual, voters will weight up the costs and benefits for themselves.
And, for the record, I'm probably more of a hard Brexiteer than the latter, for what it's worth. I'd be satisfied with either. Just more satisfied with the former.
This whole "a-ha! you Brexiteers can't agree amongst yourselves what you want!" has always been viewed as be some sort of killer argument by Remainers since Day 1, but it fails to take account that the no.1 objective of Brexiteers is to quit because we viewed remaining in the EU as a neverending escalator to closer harmonisation and integration.
(And I'm perfectly realistic, thank you very much.)
I forgot you speak for all Brexiteers. Many may disagree with your "no. 1 objective".
And you would think you're being realistic. I'm far from sure you are. But hey, reasonable people can reasonably differ on such things. I meant no slight.
I don't, but you felt you knew my mind. So I corrected you.
I recognise you bottled voting Leave, but that doesn't make you right and me wrong.
Like you said, reasonable people can differ.
Not sure that accusing someone of "bottling" a vote for Leave is reasonable.
The question who did commission the Deloitte report is obvious and glaring. No doubt we will find out in due course.
Hasn't it been reported that it was uncommissioned?
Deloittes themselves have acknowledged that.
The more interesting question is who at Deloittes leaked it to the Times.
I'm fairly certain it was leaked to The Times by someone inside the Government.
You're being coy about the basis for even a fair certainty. Why?
Because some people will automatically think it was leaked by Osborne/Cameron or their associates because I said it was leaked by someone inside the Government.
The memo does have the ring of authenticity of the various tensions within government.
As I noted today, the Government haven't disputed the contents of the memo.

I imagine this isn't entirely unrelated to the new realpolitik regarding the election of Donald Trump.
The calculation has changed. Slightly, but it's changed.
The EU now needs British engagement on military and security matters. That outweighs its general petulance about free movement as a pillar of its theology.

Mr. Royale, there were legitimate reasons to vote to Remain (though I feel these were eclipsed by the reasons to vote Leave). Must agree with Mr. Observer about the term 'bottled'.

Grayling said the 30K figure was rubbish.
That was the solutions part of the memo not the problems facing the Government part of the memo.
Not quite plugging (it's for a January anthology, but thought PB might like it) but I wrote this elsewhere: "It's going to be huge, people. So big, so good. Better than you could ever believe. Ratsy's [the publisher] a great guy, the best guy. He picks winners, people, he knows how to win. And we're going to win so big. This anthology has the best words.
We're going to build an anthology, everyone. The best anthology you could imagine. And the readers are gonna pay for it."
Pretty pleased, as some chaps you may actually have heard of (Adrian Tchaikovsky, for example) are also contributing.
After Donald Trump’s election as president, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp., took to Facebook to comment on the upcoming shift from Obama to Melania Trump, reportedly writing: “It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.”
Even if it was not intended to be racially derogatory (which I doubt) it's still an awful comment to describe any woman as an "ape".
Absolutely. The fact that Michelle Obama is classy, beautiful and dignified really does not come into it. In this country I think this would be prosecutable. A sick, sick individual.
I wouldn't want it to be prosecutable, because it's good for people like Pamela Taylor to show themselves in their true colours. Such a comment says far more about her than anyone else could.
From what I could pick up, I thought Michelle Obama had done some good work for women's rights and education. Ad hominem or bitchy comments should be beneath opponents. Regrettably we are getting a lot from the Democrats because that is what they do and from the Republicans because it is payback time.

30k sounds awfully like a figure intended to win them business - you could hire 30k permanent civil servants and pay them loads of money and pension rights, or you could get us to do it on a consultancy basis for half the cost of recruiting and paying those 30k...
Comments
You can't blame Deloitte of course: they have an interest in securing future instructions from HMG.
Who wins the grand prix, the chap leading the first 70 laps or the one who crosses the finishing line first?
I mean what sort of crap general wins the first 15 years of a war, then loses the war in the last year?
The early victories were the epitome of Pyrrhic.
I'm very sceptical that SpaceX can solve the problem by altering the loading sequence. That may well work, but what happens when they have to unload because of a launch delay, and then reload shortly afterwards? Temperature profiles will be all over the place.
Much safer to put the COPVs outside the LO tank IMO, but that would involve a significant redesign.
But what do I know? I'm not a rocket scientists.
You may as well claim Thatcher was a failure because she was forced out.
Is it knobhead or nobhead?

If one occurs I should be able to make alot more than £15 from it all.
Cameron?
Or is that bell-end?
Brian Silvester , UKIP candidate rather foolishly boasted yesterday that he had 9,737 followers on twitter and his Labour opponent had just 17 . Less than 24 hours later he now has 9,786 bur Natasha Maroni now has 14,166 . Perhaps the Conservative candidate will win , he is not on twitter at all .
But much like Hannibal defeating the Romans in the early part of The Second Punic War, Cameron may have won some battles but ultimately lost the war (to stop the Tories banging on about Europe.)

What this guy appears to be saying is that if you assume gravity is not a fundamental force but an *effect* of other things, then much of the messiness and kluges involving things like dark matter disappear.
(*) Not apologising this time. What are you readers going to do about it, eh?
Mr. Jessop, doesn't gravity pass through another dimension which diminishes its power?
Still, looks like they're going for a return-to-flight next month. Let's hope it goes without a bang.
And you would think you're being realistic. I'm far from sure you are. But hey, reasonable people can reasonably differ on such things. I meant no slight.
In-deed.
I wonder how many of these civil servants will be from the EU?
Not sure what Trump means for NASA or space, most people think Earth science is going to be utterly shafted - though republicans seem more keen on HSF than the DEMs.
Thank heavens for the awesome battery life on the iPhone 7
I'm not sure slagging off the CEO of the business you're pitching to was a good idea.
The British people deserve much better, by all means report against Brexit when they have researched and authenticated a story but also report pro Brexit stories with the same zeal

It distinctly worries me that people dumb enough to blindly use 'reply-all' work in the health service. Mind you, Microsoft got hit by it yonks ago,
It was Mr Pichai's first European broadcast interview since he became chief executive last year.
Sources at the technology company also said if barriers were thrown up to skilled immigration following the vote to leave the European Union, some of Google's investment could be at risk.
I reckon Google has been talking to HMG.
