It's not profitable yet, or someone would already be doing it. It's something that can be done on small, incremental scales. You don't need to mine a whole planet, that's a strawman. You don't need to build the entire thing, just some solar panels floating in space an attached to something useful (e.g. our communications satellites) fit the bill. It gets more effective the more industry you have in space - we have none so far.

There's no reason to think we won't reach that level of technology - assuming we have a demand for space industry for some reason, like running low of key materials on Earth, or a population that keeps growing.

You're basically just doing that same thing as the OP, claiming "nuh uh" without backing that up either. To which I say "uh uh".

That is exactly what they've been planning for a while: https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/service-and-payments/ma...

Well I'm an Emacs user and would love to have Apple's butterfly mechanism style keyboard with the existing modifier keys for macOS (Command, Option & Control) plus the modifier keys from the Symbolics keyboards (Meta, Super & Hyper). That way I can separate out the key chords for window, application, and system commands from the key chords for Emacs text editing commands. I'd pay at least $1000 to have it custom built.

I think some of the variables include key layout, key switch type, keycap shape & material, key dimensions, the material of the keyboard itself, type of connector, LED colors & placement, extras like auxiliary displays, knobs, switches, sliders, and touchpads. I could continue...

Listened to a podcast on similar topic, Planet Money [1]. Journalists were exploring why students don't want to take on Summer Jobs anymore. I was listening to it and it was weird for me to listen why it is such a mystery. Commodities are getting cheaper every year, and meaningful things, like college education, housing prices are skyrocketing. What the point to of getting summer job if only thing you can get with earned money is an extra drink in a club. I'm not saying that this is always the case, but from my experience, this is reason why people around me didn't take summer jobs.

Back when I first got into the punk scene I ended up asking this semi-infamous old-timer at my local punk dive "Just what the hell is punk, anyway?"

"Something you don't want to be in prison."

Really, it's whatever the fuck you want it to be and fuck anyone who tells you otherwise because they're definitely wrong, and that includes me right now telling you this.

What is punk? Punk isn't.

I was laid off from my first job. It can be really soul crushing at first but luckily in technology its not that hard to find openings in a short time span.

Apart from the constant fear of not getting another job, it was actually a very very pleasant experience. I ended up doing a lot of reading by the pool at my gym, working out a lot and traveling. All the while reading up on algorithms, learning new technologies.

Of course I was pretty stable financially and that really helped. The severance made the first month seem like a paid vacation. The next 2 months were pretty wonderful as well, except that it hurt to see my savings get eroded.

I don't think you're accurate about the kind of employees that get laid off though. If I was a little more experienced, I would have seen it coming and started interviewing long before I was laid off. There were a couple of other folks who got laid off with me and they're not doing all that well now.

Well, it depends. "True" pcie slots do not share the bandwidth, but depending on available CPU lanes, which is awfully few in the last years on Intel - 16 lanes in top of the line i7? thats one graphics card - the slots are switched to 8x/8x, 8x/4x/4x and so on when populated.

M.2 slots are a whole another story, they are usually connected to the chipset instead of CPU on desktop motherboards (and finding this information for any particular board is difficult). The chipset is connected with CPU through DMI, which equals to pcie 4x and this is shared with everything on chipset - satas, gigabit ethernet, usb 3...

I think ordinary NLP wouldn't get you very far at all, but it seems the Google Duplex people have some advanced tricks. But its still probably a bit of a stretch.

A two-way code generator for CRUD applications is a lot more realistic for a start. I am interested in trying to collaborate on that, although I can't promise how much time I will have because of other obligations.

But it would be fun to give it a start at least. You started describing something, maybe if you want you could elaborate a little bit more about how you think this type of tool would work in a document online somewhere or just in a reply. It would be fun to play around with Optic with that type of goal. I will need to read the docs and experiment some to make sure I understand the system better before I get too far along in coding something. Mainly I use Node and JavaScript these days so theoretically that could work for a web-based CRUD builder.. I guess by talking to the Scala server over REST? I will need to read your docs.

YMMV but I live in a high-cost-of-living area and here if the therapist will take insurance that's almost a guarantee that they are not going to be good; mainly because in order to make a living at the rates insurance pays they have to take far more clients than a good therapist would consider reasonable.

This, combined with the fact that there is enough disposable income floating around to pay good therapists out-of-pocket means good therapists will just not take insurance (though you may have some success getting reimbursed). If you can't afford, many of those good therapists will find ways to help you pay, and perhaps even offer you a bit of a break in their rates[1]

I see where you're coming from on the first sentence. I should have left it at saying his comment seemed to lack empathy. The last sentence I still think is fine though (I include myself in the list of people who don't have the perspective to criticize their decisions, I don't have the context to be constructive). I won't defend the other comment.

It's easy to be unnecessarily rude in comments, but I would have said the same were we talking in person. I don't believe in hiding behind anonymity to say something you wouldn't say otherwise.

All the same, I appreciate the input.

I believe it's actually throw some random investor types, who kicked NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes off of all Punk In Drublic events after Fat Mike, the owner and founder of Fat Wreck Chords, made a crass joke at Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas this year. I will concede the Punk in Drublic fest has a lot of big-name punk acts, but I would suggest The Fest in Gainsville or Punk Rock Bowling which, alongside the big name / main stage acts, have a lot of small, intimate club shows with big and small acts alike.

I primarily use it when I use my computer at airports, coffee shops, etc. It's highly recommended by people I trust in the security community, hence why I use it. Apologies for my ignorance, but how does my setup increase security as opposed to browsing the internet on a public network over https?
So this is my first child, about two and a half months old. We are in the peak of the being way behind on sleep. It's significantly harder to debug code I wrote before he was born now. I would say my wife does 80% of the night time stuff, I typically only wake up for one "handle" and she does the rest (1-4 depending on feeding timings). Certainly it is already on the curve of getting better, the problem is we are way behind. It's so, so worth it. But don't expect the same level of debugging ability, it's nice to have some slack in whatever you are doing professionally so you can have a few months of sub-peak output, if you can afford to engineer it.

I use the touch screen all the time. They made it very easy to do one important thing, they let you take a screenshot by pressing the pen eraser twice, and immediately begin annotating it by drawing right on top of it. For doing things like UI prototypes this is a huge booster. Someone sends me a test build or concept, and I can leap right into graphical annotation. Why waste time typing when unambiguous visual communication is this easy.

As a pen input device it's at least as good as my Intuos2 which it replaced, plus you get to draw right on the screen. (I don't like the side button though, it requires too much force to press.)

Names work well because the actual size of a mattress isn't really important to most mattress discussions, nor are the measurements ever 100% accurate because of differences in material or manufacture. If I'm at the shop buying sheets and I remember my queen mattress is roughly ~1.5m wide, is it a 1.37m wide double mattress or a 1.53m wide queen mattress? Using a name placeholder avoids this ambiguity, a queen sheet will always fit a queen bed, within some margin of error, even accounting for differences in material: I imagine foam is more ductile than spring mattresses so might be made a bit bigger to account for this difference.

Another commonly reported one is paying for an item by Paypal then collecting. Once you have the goods you report the item as undelivered[0]. eBay ask for proof of delivery that you can't supply, so automatically refund.

Has been happening for years, but has become more prevalent recently.

Last time I risked selling on eBay I spent a good part of the listing opting out of eBay Ts&Cs: Cash only, collection only, Paypal will be instantly refunded etc. Probably meant eBay could have cancelled the listing, but it worked.

React + CSS modules is a good place to start.

The CSS modules is to teach you how to write CSS that is tightly scoped, but something like BEM or styled components could do the same thing. Avoid global styles.

I'd also learn a tiny bit of functional programming. JS isn't quite a functional language, but lends itself nicely to simple functional patterns. React is also explicitly functionally influenced. Think composition over inheritance. Don't go overboard.

TypeScript or Flow for type checking are probably a good idea. TypeScript is far more supported, but kind of encourages the OO style. I prefer Flow, but most will say TypeScript won.

I will also say VSCode is a really great editor for JS and front end development.

Your initiation is basically right. Optic is a code generator with templates. What’s special about it is that it uses your existing code as input so there’s no manual specification done. You can also manually update the generated code and it still works with Optic. All this combined allows you to “sync” different parts of your code that are related as you said.

Do your research and know your history. A lot of things have been tried and failed very publicly. Hacking something together worked for Google Flu Trends, until it very famously broke. In typical SV fashion, you're trivializing a very difficult problem. Government folks, who have very often been there for many years, see waves of excitement come and go.

But, sure, go spend your time "hacking something together" for a problem you don't know exists, with no identified customers, then try to sell it to the CDC, WHO, or whomever and see what kind of reaction you'll get. The rest of us will be over here building things that matter.
One of the interesting thing about these underground music movements from hip hop to punk is the DIY ethos for the creation of music, publications, performance spaces, and more. Adults and respectable companies aren't helping (for the most part) so the kids have to direct and make things on their own.

I think it's not a coincidence that many people who get involved in underground music movements later start successful careers in creative endeavors - fashion, cuisine, publishing, design, programming, etc. There was a documentary a few years ago tracing the lives of people who had been active in the 1980s music scenes and so many of them ended up in these professions.

And you don't have to look far to find more famous examples - Kira Roessler (Black Flag bassist) won an Oscar for sound editing for Mad Max: Fury Road, Damond John's fashion label coming out of the late 80s/early 90s NYC hip hop scene, and Anthony Bourdain's coming of age as a young chef and NYC punk fan in the late 70s.
The extreme cases both refute your blanket allegations of fundamental goodwill and strongly suggest there might be a substantially larger set of less-nefarrious and malevolent, but still corrupt practices: Insurance and workers comp fraud, overprescriptions, unnecessary labs and imaging, pharma kickbacks, the opioids crisis and Perdue pharma specifically, device and equipment practices, and far, farr, far more.

The fundamental problem is that in the US, most providers are paid to render services, drugs, and equipment, but not for making or keeping patients and populations healthy.

Payors (insurance companies and administrators) are similaly incentivised on profits, not outcomes.
