And that pesky radiation slowly killing you.
The solution is fixed wing "drones". The props on a fixed wing RC 'drone' are still loud, but for an equivalent mass in the air they are a LOT quieter than quads. They're also more efficient, you get more flight time with fixed wings.

There are just three problems:

1) Landing space (not a hard problem to solve with durable designs that have very low stall speeds.)

2) For some photography purposes, hovering is the only way to get the shot.

3) They're just not as sexy. People like quads because they seem a lot more sci-fi.
It's funny because they already pay a prescription charge (small fixed fee regardless of the contents of the prescription) at a pharmacy and there aren't enough dentists taking NHS patients for everybody to avoid paying for private dental services. So it isn't as if it is all literally free. I guess the difference is the NHS logo on the door.
What I heard is that we have data on plant growth on Earth (1G) and on the ISS (0G), but not at reduced gravity like on the Moon (.17G).

I'm a private pilot, and I have the hardest time spotting airplane traffic from 3sm miles away. Ready to sit back and have some popcorn reading articles about how manufacturers are supposedly complying with this rule. Unless there's some novel lighting technology I don't know about, this seems like a nontrivial problem to me.

Totally.

Another way of stating it is you get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. Creating and delivering value is usually very expensive. There are ways to shift around the creation and distribution of value and there are certain notable edge cases that would allow people to nitpick my definition.

But by and large there is a certain physics to business and you can conceptualize it as having certain conservation laws.

Now if you're looking for the Quantum physics of business where those laws don't seem to hold and seemingly magical shit starts to happen and you discover the superfluid of value creation... Well let me clue you in a little. It's absolutely possible.

However!

The conservation laws still hold as what you're trading off to find this magical superfluid or superconductor of business is a very high search cost to find a viable configuration in which to run your operation. So the search cost to find a new, undiscovered, viable configuration or to find a known viable configuration or to obtain the resources to operationalize a viable configuration that has become known to you is so astronomically high in the worst case that it turns out not to be worth it.

Passive income is very expensive from that stand point.
People can also simply lie, but statements are still considered testimony.
That’s an easy route to take for tourists, it’s what three miles from London Bridge to the Eye, and along the way there’s Southwark Cathedral, the Golden Hind, Borough Market, Tate Modern, the Globe, the National Theatre, Heyward Gallery, Festival Hall, and the British Film Institute.

I think planners have put a lot of emphasis on getting public rights of way running along the rest of the Thames, but maybe at the cost of real public spaces for sitting and enjoying yourself.
You are making two false dichotomies.

Even if Harley's have other safety compromises, loud pipes can make them safer. Even if you ride with awareness, loud pipes can make you safer. There is generally a lack of hard evidence, but it only makes sense that they would to me.

It can simultaneously be true that loud pipes save lives and loud pipes annoy people; whether the tradeoff is worth it to you is the real question.

Other people have already answered your actual question, so I'll weigh in on my assumptions of your use case instead :).

I find that multi-account containers give me much of what I would otherwise gain from running in multiple profiles, in as much as cache, cookies and other state are separate, so I can be logged in to a different set of accounts in each container. Temporary Containers makes life ever easier -- a whole new empty state at the push of a button, and parallel non-shared state: it's much more usable than Incognito for web development and testing.

On the other hand, if you want a different set of extensions then multi-profile is the only way to go.

It is good to hear that there is even an OSS FPGA workshop! They have even a panel discussion about how to run a sustainable business with open source hardware development. I would like attend!

Aside from open source on-ramp efforts the FPGAs should be easily usable by software developers. So more software developers would work with FPGAs instead of the electrical engineers mostly without the knowledge and appreciation of a convenient software development environment. For example, most of the time I try to utilize Makefiles, git, continuous integration in my FPGA projects. Some of my former FPGA developer colleagues are electrical engineers which became FPGA developers later. These colleagues were just happy when they could draw something on the GUI, and did not pay any attention to the garbage of files generated by the CAD tool during commit at all.

An idea to make the FPGAs more tasteful is the Pynq platform [1] that I discovered last year. The platform can leverage FPGA acceleration in Python environment, and the different bitstreams are loaded on-demand (in an app fashion). I am planning to give workshops about this platform.

I'm actually not strong on those topics. It's on my neverending list, but...

Continental philosophy and "theory" are time-consuming in that one needs to grep for the truffles in the mud. I've spent >10 years reading Gilles Deleuze in my free time and now I see him as the harbinger of surprisingly useful ideas (many of which the "technical community" has discovered independently, from computer viruses to the tension between decentralization and centralization, but still really novel for 1970-1980 when his core works were published) -- but it was difficult getting there! I got into Deleuze because I fell in love with the prose, but you will be forgiven if you group him with Derrida and Foucault and even French Marxists because he's (1) a creature of his time and friends with many of those now-irrelevant figures and (2) fluid and ambivalent almost if required to be consistent with his own teachings.

So... I wish I had time for "software studies", but I'm currently working on a method for betting on horses^H^H^Hmarathon runners using the gamma process and the idea of risk-free measures from finance.
Right, but having your species single-handedly cause a mass extinction event on a scale not seen in 250 million years and having it happen in the span of a couple centuries (which is like a millisecond in geological time) seems like a pretty big deal to me. Like the biggest of big deals that we’ve ever lived through. This is a “there is a three mile wide asteroid inbound that will hit the earth in 80 years” kind of big deal.
10Gb ports are quite cheap as well especially if you're only going point to point (the switches are still a little pricy, but the ports for a NAS to VM host are easily under $100 now).
I didn't expect this to be written in Java. Do they talk about this decision anywhere? I didn't catch anything in the announcement.
a 9mm bullet can only go so high because it leaves the barrel at a much greater speed than its terminal velocity in freefall. 9mm in particular has a fairly low terminal velocity; if it falls straight down it is unlikely to seriously hurt an adult.
I imagine that in the beginning you will have mostly scientific facilities , like telescopes on the dark side of the moon(you will need scientist, technicians and other stuff around this big telescopes).

There could also be facilities for experiments that can't be done on Earth, like things that can grow better on low gravity, there may be materials/gases that are rare on Earth and we could grab from asteroids so having space stations and bases around the solar system would be helpful.
I only skimmed, but parts of this article read as just another pro-LISP piece... A rant against other languages (which the author terms "DSLs" simply because they're not Turing complete) like LaTeX, HTML, regex, SQL etc. and lists alternatives, all of which are S-expression-based. Well, the superiority of S-expressions is just, like, your opinion, man. Personally, I consider them inferior to pretty much any other syntax (joke languages like Brainfuck, Whitespace, JavaScript excluded). An in absolute terms, the whole civilisation was built on syntax-full DSLs (law, math, engineering, ...).

Doesn't sync encrypt the data sent out with keys only known by you? So in that case the main loss in privacy seems to be that others learn that someone from your IP uses Firefox sync. Are there other privacy-oriented reasons to avoid it?

Freedom only works when it also protects things you don't like. Because of that, the specifics of any one case are totally, completely irrelevant.

There is no sentence after that that justifies having a forced decryption law unless "I am a privacy advocate" is a lie, I'm sorry. You don't have to be a privacy advocate, that's fine, but don't wear that mantle if you're not willing to actually advocate for privacy. The entire point is that it doesn't matter what is being kept private.

Upvoted because while I disagree with your thought process it seems like a good-faith question.
it's actually worse than that. in addition to the weight penalty, prop guards decrease the performance of the rotors and make the aircraft a bit less stable.
If everyone does it, at best we'd get a 25% decline in emissions; the vast, VAST majority of emissions, global warming, pollution, etc is caused by industry, which in turn is controlled by governments.

Some of them are doing something about it; this morning I heard the Dutch government is proposing a new emissions tax for industry: 45 euros per ton in 2021, raising by 2% annually to 80 euros per ton in 2050. Of course, the problem is that at the same time the government is subsidizing these very industries.

But that's just a tiny country that's already doing very well in that regard; right next to us is Germany and the UK with their heavy industries. And the whole emissions of Europe is negligible compared to the US and China.

Change won't come from individuals; it comes from politics. If you really care about the environment, you'll have much more influence if you become a politician instead of (or in addition to) a vegan.

You may be right about knowledge, (relativstic quantum

theory leans in your favor, hi Ron Garrett!)
but your dreprectatory definition of knowledge and philosophy covers most humans who have ever existed, not just self titled philosophers.

Anyway your definition is wanting. A religious scientist has two kinds of clearly different beliefs: faith and knowledge. A mathematician has the same two kinds, under different names: axioms and deductions.

Saying that axioms are the same as deductions is a radical claim.
> plus writing unit tests gave me stable code as well, without pulling my hair out

apart from the generalization i tend to agree

from uncle bob's article [1]:

> My own prediction is that TDD is the deciding factor. You don’t need static type checking if you have 100% unit test coverage. And, as we have repeatedly seen, unit test coverage close to 100% can, and is, being achieved. What’s more, the benefits of that achievement are enormous.

I've worked on high mantainable big JS projects (+40 devs) with 80%-90% test coverage. plus we were using GraphQL so inputs were valid types somehow.

if I start a new project today I would use only these technics (valid inputs + integration test) with no typed lang.

I can see your argument, although while £216m is a lot of money it's still a drop in the bucket compared to the NHS's total budget (about 0.2%).

Personally, I think the situation can be improved by more education. I think a fine would unfairly affect the less well off, not only because it would be a much more significant amount to them but because those are the same people who are more likely to have unforseen circumstances that mean they can't make an appointment, such as a job where they might just change your shift with little/no notice.

I think the actual booking system could fix a lot of these issues at most surgeries, too. My last surgery held back 75% of appointments such that you couldn't book them until the day of the appointment. This meant that you could almost always get a same day appointment as long as you called at 8:30am, and also meant you probably had a much better idea of whether you were going to be able to make that appointment or not. People who needed to get an advance appointment could still do so, and would have to wait a couple of weeks usually but that's no worse than most other places. It really did seem to fix a lot of the problems I've seen - I don't know why more places don't do it.
>I think in your specific case it would be up to the officer's discretion if you were pulled over for it

So people that don't make a good impression get screwed out of a grand they probably don't have. Relying on the benevolence of police is not going to work out well for average people in the long run.
For those who haven’t done so, the Pulitzer winner “The Sixth Extinction” is well worth reading. We are on the cusp of popular culture realizing the world as we know it is coming to a close and we are probably half a century beyond the point where our ingenuity or actions can do anything about it.

I don't see the auction itself as scummy. They're absolutely free to do that. It might be a bit scummy that the auction isn't open to everybody. Only a select group of OEM vendors will have access to this. That may also mean it's harder to acquire for benchmark tests.

Furthermore, no warranty could even mean they can get away with selling processors that won't work reliably at the listed speeds. If they were to do that, that'd definitely be scummy.

All things considered, I don't think it's for me.
Yeah that's a good point. At least it could be used locally by the colony then.

Well forget about the "household net worth" vs "individual net worth" question for now and consider that this article digs up plenty of evidence that she wasn't just some supportive spouse in the background and that she was an indispensable figure in the early success of Amazon and probably deserves to be recognized as cofounder with an equal claim to the equity.
The middle ground may be explicitly flag/indicate/log that an unknown situation has been encountered, and 'handle' that by doing something useful (continuing to work without crashing, preventing known "unknown" data from being processed silently, etc). It may not help with forward compat entirely, but it would be explicitly known (and I'd think would be somewhat easier to modify/extend for known unknowns in the future).
I was going to do this when I was a student and the form was so long and convoluted I decided to just pay. It all seemed just slightly designed to stop you claiming it.
The starhopper( test article) is indeed made by a water tank contactor. The actual starship will be made by stainless steel in LA as confirmed by Musk on twitter. Also he mentioned something about stainless steel having better properties than cf.

Army drones are usually fixed-wing - in the civilian market they'd be called "RC planes".

RC planes are less popular than quadcopters for hobby use, as it takes a lot more skill to avoid crashing them.

Buying them at inflated prices from Intel rewards Intel for being able to make these at all. If they were able to make more of them, they'd be rewarded more.

Paying the inflated prices to scalpers would reward scalpers for hogging the supply. That would be far worse. If I'm going to pay an inflated price for something, I'd rather use it to reward the person making it than some speculator trying to wrench some profit out of a tight market.

This thing is 30TB in 2.5" format, while the largest capacity HDD I can remember hearing about is 15TB, and that's in a 3.5" format, which is about double in physical volume and weight.

I can't wait for the day when something like this becomes economical, so I can stick two of them in a compact portable NAS for 30TB of redundant storage that I can bring with me anywhere.

Not to mention, SSDs on average seem to have more predictable failure modes that scale based mostly on usage, and tend to be overall more reliable than HDDs that can often suddenly die on you with no warning.
I agree that this is the main point: What are you trying to achieve? If your aim is to increase average happiness, what do you consider to be a good measure of happiness? And what kind of average are you using? Most "ideology" relates to this kind of arbitrary preference, I think.

But there are also other problems with evidence: How well do you trust the authors and institutions that produce or report the evidence? And if the evidence is probabilistic, as most evidence is, outside mathematics, what are your prior probabilities (in a Bayesian sense)?

In the case of international comparisons of health care, and other situations in which there is no repeatable experiment, there's also the problem of whether A caused B or whether A and B are both consequences of something else, perhaps something that the authors had considered and dismissed with some non-numerical justification, or perhaps something that wasn't even considered.
