Congrats to the 45th Space Wing on the successful demo ;) Some of the best and brightest folks you will ever have the opportunity to work with.

Just a quick note to say we are GO on planning the Space Coast Hacker House project. A live and work facility for talented engineers and digital nomads. Or anyone interested in short stints in support of the New Space economy. Location to be determined in proximity to Cape Canaveral, Florida and Kennedy Space Center. The house will prove an ideal location for live broadcasting rocket launches, hosting events with pioneers of human space flight, and hacking late into the night on the next innovations in cosmic exploration.

Currently we are in development on our own self-hosted crowd raise platform. As well as creating custom merchandise to be sold on the site. But we are coalescing activities around the "SpaceH" identity. And hope to distribute the link by Sep 1 ;)
Why did you not implement it on your Turris Omnia? If the only problem was software update, you still have great HW platform.

Prior to the late 1970s / early 1980s, the stigma associated with homosexuality was much stronger. Being gay, and having multiple sex partners, was something that most gay men would probably not admit to. In many areas it would be admitting to a crime. So in the case histories of early AIDS sufferers, that commonality may not have been clear.
I've been a die-hard paper book reader, but ever since I got a kindle a year ago, I only consume e-books. I have much less book clutter in my apartment now, and I can get any book I want immediately.

That by itself doesn't count for much in this context. Web based technologies tend to move quickly while scientists are almost all using math libraries that were written in the 60/ 70's. To scientists these things are just tools and they prefer stability, reproducibility and minimal dependencies over using what's popular.
I've always read a book or two a week and I switched to ebooks just because they are so much more accessible and easier to carry.

> But the software that enables the semi-autonomous driving is free to download. Hotz says this allows him to sidestep the regulatory issue, though it’s unclear whether NHTSA would agree. “We aren’t selling any products that control a car,” he says. “We are giving away free software, and software is speech.” (A spokesperson for NHTSA did not respond to a request for comment.)

Sounds like they're just using open source to avoid liability and side step regulators. I love open source, but I do not think it's being used for benevolent reasons here.
I really experienced this with my anti-GDPR comments. In the afternoon EST they’d be positive and then take a nosedive in the evening / overnight, I assume as Europeans woke up and took umbrage :)
One more article that treats demographics as destiny politically. Apparently we're not individuals, we're easily predictable by sex, age, and race, and representation isn't fair unless cities determine all policies. That this blatant race baiting, sexist, agist logic always seems to come out in articles with an anti-Republican spin should tell you all you need to know.
The "being better at online shopping" bit was meant to be facetious. More to the point was that it feels like a case of the negative voices drowning out the satisfied, and I find this is often the case as companies grow from underdog startup to industry leading goliaths.

I always switch my ereader to black background and yellow font during the day. At night I have an orange font if it's really dark, but usually I just dim the yellow font.

Often it's framed as: if you want the welfare state to exist when you retire we must invest in education to stay competitive in a world where masses of the 3rd world are increasingly able to do our jobs cheaper.

The welfare system is in many ways the ultimate index fund, as it earns back it's investment via. taxes :)
I considered the Turris Omnia, but ultimately decided in favor of the apu2c4. Here’s the comparison I made back then:

Turris Omnia: 209 € (-), built-in SFP (+), UART (-), GOARCH=arm (-)

apu2: 105 € (+), no SFP (-), DB9 serial (+), GOARCH=amd64 (+)

Basically, the apu2 costs half (I now have 3), has a real serial port (now permanently attached to my workstation) and an architecture (amd64) which is closer to what gokrazy already supports (arm64) and more likely to be useful to others — I could find way more suitable (≥ 2 ethernet ports) amd64 boards/mini-PCs than 32-bit arm boards.

Hope that makes sense!

Edit: I do agree that the Turris Omnia is a pretty good platform, though! See https://michael.stapelberg.de/posts/2017-03-25-turris-omnia/ for more thoughts about the device.

The apu2 has all the Omnia has (aside from the built-in SFP), and is well-supported by PC Engines and their vendors. They run coreboot and even sell you recovery SPI flash chips for a few bucks if you want to change coreboot yourself :).

I guess that has to do with firmware and schematics not always being available. Current consumer routers often have no or little documentation on the internal workings and some have started to limit functionality if you can't use vendor-signed firmware. On the other hand, as soon as you can run stock linux kernels with reasonable performance, gokrazy becomes possible again.

Edit: I was wrong, the Turris has docs and firmware to play with.

Personally, I'd probably have used parentheses for the dependent which clauses rather than commas. But, yes, there are situations where you have lists of things that sometimes have to embed commas and then it makes sense to separate the items with semicolons.
If that is the case, I think revamping the high school requirements would be a better investment.
> My parents had a huge house and property by the time they turned 30.

How much was it? You can make 3500€ pre-tax with a bachelors degree in many fields. That's around 2200€ after taxes. Two people can live comfortably with ~2500€ and lay away 1900€ a month. You will not be able to buy a property in a big city, but after 10 years you'll be able to pay for a small house. And you even get a tax break for it.

Today it's uncommon to be a couple that takes a mortgage together - young people don't really trust relationships in the same way anymore. This halves their net worth to buy a house.

I think stable relationships are extremely important for the wealth of our parents. Many older people are now broke because they've split up with their partners. So if you want to have the same wealth, you also have to find a partner who's up for this challenge.
yeah I'm pretty sure I was twelve, I was in a summer camp in Ireland and it was the year the blur great escape album came out, we had some leftover chapter to read as summer vacation and I had to bring the book with me. inthe nineties curriculum changed at breakneck speed so anything is possible anyway.

How Amazon Rules
It's not about land as I understand it but about securing equal representation in the Senate between the republic's constituent states. The House reflects the population, the Senate secures the rights of the smaller states in the face of overwhelming population elsewhere.
Before you head over to eBay: many of these have radium dots that can be detected by gamma ray detectors at customs offices. The paint may not light up anymore, but the radium is still emitting nearly as strongly as when originally made (half-life 1600 years).
Compromise. When the Constitution was drawn up, there was already a large disagreement about this. The North was more densely populated than the South. It would have meant that North would have dictated all the policies.

The South had an agricultural industry that was reliant (at least they believed it was reliant) on the horrid practice of slavery.

The Civil War settled the issue of slavery, and probably was the best time to try and rebalance the Senate. So now we’re stuck, and why would any of these less populated states give up power?

I've worked at home for decades. In the beginning when I had small apartments, I used to put a table with my computer on it inside a closet. I'd open up the closet door, pull up a chair, and voila, office.

In those days, monitors were thick, and the web didn't exist. Now that monitors are thinner and computers have become many people's de facto TVs, there would be less advantage in doing this.

It seems to be plausible, that by adapting a healthy diet, at least the risk can be lowered and the onset delayed.

But my impression is, that a lot of factors, like poison from the environment (not only food and water, but also through the air) in combination with deseases, allergies and maybe medications etc, come together with genetic preconditions.

This rings so true, everything today is super specialized.

Previous generations sometimes had a chance to learn on the job as a company was specializing. But current generations needs a lengthy education because they are joining companies that are already highly specialized - am working to specialized even more...
From my understanding a lot of it was pills too. Turinabol, an oral steroid, was invented in East Germany and to my knowledge used heavily during the doping years
...it is. The House of Representatives seats are based purely upon population which is determined by a census every 10 years. The Senate is redundant because of the 17th Amendment but its original purpose was to represent the individual State governments separately from the populace.
I am stunned to hear micro USB is rated for that many insertions. The implementation must not live up to the standard. In my experience, anecdotal, I know, microUSB is the most unreliable of all the USB form factors I've experienced. Bad connectors on cables, and ports that regularly fail internally (not levered off the board.) I have considered replacing ports with miniusb, or a tethered B port because micro has been such an utter failure on so many of my devices.
You're right. It's a large distinction. I was thinking of USB-C hub (this one specifically: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hypershop/hyperdrive-us...) and it only supports 5Gb/s vs. 40Gb/s
Another one? They already started emerdata.
there are also a lot of quacks around. doesn't help that psychotheraphy really lacks a solid background in medicine tbh. we're only scratching the surface of the deep mind structures and issues stemming from there and how they all relate to trauma or even what trauma actually is and yet pretend like we can cure ailments talking people out of it.
Can't agree on that with regards to a city like Düsseldorf. Living and working in this city is possible if you're working an IT job and you don't need to move out to the suburbs, unless you want to purchase a house to raise kids in.

Other than that, I don't see a lot of use for this list since it doesn't come with any data, as far as I can tell on mobile.
I think the complaint about the Senate having a different makeup than the House begs the question - why even have two houses in Congress? The original Constitution had State governments choose their Senators and the House was the "People's". The 17th Amendment changed that, so now we have the People choosing two different houses of Congress based on two different ways of dividing up the population, which leads to these complaints.
Whenever I find myself writing lists in technical writing, I seriously consider if I can express that information in a table or bullet list.
I doubt there’s much that can be said her to sway anyone’s mind.

Either way, wish the project luck! Reproducible scientific studies is paramount.
Originally the State governments directly chose their Senators. So you had a house for the States and a house for the People. The 17th Amendment brought about the situation we have today.

The argument I've heard is that politicians wouldn't bother campaigning or making improvements to any of the states with low population. It's political welfare.
Looking back, from a systems perspective (not necessarily the view taken at the time), the Senate was created to represent the structure of government. They were supposed to be the old party hacks from each state that were sent to DC to help architect and fix the architecture of the federal government. Their interest was in the system, in the political structure and operation of the government, not making the folks back home happy with their votes. They were more like judges. Our own little homegrown aristocracy.

Looked at it that way, it makes sense that each state should have an equal number of representatives. After all, the federal system was supposedly created and maintained by the states. But after the Civil War flipped that around, and the 17th amendment called for the direct election of senators, they were really mis-configured for the job. As many people point out, now they're just direct representatives of the people, only with a mission created from the old ways of doing things. So why are they elected like this again?

As you say, we're stuck with it now. The only way to answer the criticism of giving states equal senators is to use an argument that is no longer valid. [Insert long discussion here about how nobody wanted a democracy in the U.S. It was never a goal and it was feared by the founders]
Even adults had no say if the state wanted them to do x. That's how things worked back then in Soviet style countries.
I don't believe there's any better reason than wanting the small population states to sign the Constitution in the 1780s. And maybe also an attempt to protect the needs of people like farmers from being ignored, since they would live in low population states compared to urban professionals. Not saying it's a good idea.
I've learned to tread cautiously with this stuff as it's a topic that triggers hostility in some, though plenty of others like yourself are looking for this info, so I'm happy to risk the backlash if it might help someone.

I should emphasise that anyone experiencing mental illness should consult a mainstream psychiatrist first, in case they need medication or other professional care. The techniques below are for people who have a solid baseline of mental health, but want to find better success and happiness in their career, relationships, etc.

For NET, search for "NetMindBody" and find a local practitioner. They're all over the world. Alternately, look for Psych-K or BodyTalk System - they're variants of the same concept. Ultimately you'll want to learn how to do it yourself rather than paying a practitioner, so you can search Meetup.com for "muscle testing" and you might find a local group and meet some like-minded folk on the same journey.

For "holotropic breathwork", a Google search will point you to solid info and local instructors. FYI it was conceived by Stanislav Grof, a psychiatrist who pioneered research into LSD before it was outlawed.

EFT/tapping is all over YouTube. Its biggest proponents push it as a be-all-and-end-all, but for me it's only been a small component of the overall approach, though still an important one at times.

Practitioners of Erickson hypnosis are everywhere, so it should be easy to find someone local. This one has also been minor for me but still valuable.

A well-known book offering some science behind the mind/body congruence concept is Bruce Lipton's 2006 book the Biology of Belief [1].

Lipton is a credentialed scientist himself (PhD cell biology researcher at Stanford School of Medicine), but he gets hand-wavy about concepts like epigenetics and quantum entanglement and leaves himself vulnerable to attack from mainstream skeptics.

But it's only by applying the principles he describes that I've been able to make the progress I've made over the past 6-7 years.

Individual states used to be more sovereign. It's similar to the structure of the European Parliament (where small countries have 10x as many representatives per capita as large countries), or the UN (where otherwise China and India would have 1/3 of the votes).

The problem is that today's generations are joining companies that are heavily specialized. Unlike previous generations which could learn while the company learned.

There are some vocational coding schools, but these won't prepare you to do real computer science.

I know they aren't stupid, but they need a non-transparent, hard-to-audit business. Like a restaurant. The IRS (or the relevant tax authority) won't count how many meals you have served, and you can price it as high as you like.

Or you can just do a festival and claim that you had a lot more visitors. It's hard to count people after all, and easy to print fake tickets.

So, I simply think that ASICs are not the things used for money laundering, because their output is very constant, and the hashrate is public knowledge, so easy to verify how much money you made.
You are still missing the point. The relational model is not about particular implementations. There is no limit on number of columns etc. It is not "ridiculous to say you can use relational models for any data structure", it is the whole point. That particular implementations may not suite your requirements is not a problem of the model, it is a problem of the particular implementations.
