A sibling lives near an old industrial center; he drives truck for Sysco. We occasionally discuss different careers. Tool & die makers near him don't make more than truck drivers.

I'm sure there are some examples -- if you can do eg old-style timber framing for people who can afford 10-inch old growth timber and want 30+ foot ceilings, there will always be a handful of well-paying gigs.

ABS is a pain to print without an enclosure, and ABS for the most part doesn't absorbs water also it's not as much of an issue with the final parts (aside from Nylon that can expand easily) but rather that moisture caught in the filament boiling during the extrusion which results in your print looking like a sponge.

I don't see the line between science and engineering as clearly as you do, apparently. Is CERN a science or engineering project? Drug design? Genuinely curious what qualifies as science. Seeing some articles, it's not the quality. Applied vs. fundamental also seems like a difficult line to actually draw.

Edit: Especially in ML, a large part of the research is done in companies.

I know it's hard to make a buck with an open source business model but deciding to charge more for security related features is always so frustrating to me.

Let's say you have a company that makes smashed widgets. So you need to hire widget smashers, but all the good ones want to be paid $20 per widget that they smash. But consumers won't pay more than $5 per smashed widget, so there is no way you can charge enough to pay for that labor.

So yes, you can get the labor you need if you pay enough. But then you won't have a business, because business need to turn a profit (or at least break even).

Now I wonder if the current labor shortage actually resembles this scenario, or if the complaining that corporate execs do is more of an act in order to get cheaper labor when they can still turn a profit with more expensive labor?

Having seen many specialist/doctors I generally think they suck at diagnosing, unless its something you could literally discover yourself by a google search and access to a specific test. I don't think they are bad doctors, I just learned that sometimes diagnosis can be rather difficult.

Then, you have a computer, it can reference recent studies compare symptoms with hundreds of diseases and generate a test plan accordingly based on probability of a disease or urgency. Frankly, I am surprised not more work is being done with algorithms in medicine.

Humans are biased, egoistic and most don't like being told they are wrong.

I don't really see how the Starlink constellation is vaporware. They've launched 2 test satellites into orbit and are less than a week out from launching the first batch of 60 satellites into orbit.

I think when you've reached the point of a 60-satellite production run, integrated on the pad and waiting for launch, you've at least passed vaporware.
I'm assuming their thought process went like this: "we want to optimize a workflow which today goes over HTTP RPC/REST for mobile networks where the retry behavior of TCP at the low level is suboptimal. QUIC already exists, and we don't have to figure out our own solutions to firewalls, security, HTTP semantics. Also our webapps use the same or similar API endpoints, so the less effort spent writing new routing, monitoring, etc., the better. Oh, it works really well. Awesome, avoided 6-24 months debugging a custom protocol over mobile networks around the world that we don't control."

What complexities does it address? I lost track of everything an init system is apparently responsible for.

Since systemd only runs on Linux APIs, I can't figure out what this even means. There are init systems that run perfectly fine in plain POSIX environments. systemd is not one of them.

I get that systemd works for you, and I'm not telling you (or others) that you shouldn't use it. The problem is the systemd monoculture. Wayland, Gnome etc are non-starters because they have hard dependencies on systemd, which is ridiculous.

> For example, people are complaining about logind being included, but forget that consolekit was unmaintained before that.

I use neither logind nor consolekit. These are solutions for problems I don't have. Moreover, they often get in the way: when I ssh into my media PC, I don't want logind/consolekit to tell me I'm not allowed to access the sound or video cards. The only function that machine performs is to do the thing that logind/consolekit are designed to prevent. And it's a required component of systemd.

I'm glad it's easier for you to manage services with systemd. But it's easier for me to manage services with OpenRC, and there's nothing wrong with that. As far as handling modern hardware- huh? I guess it's not clear to me what interactions an init manager is supposed to have with hardware.

Which really speaks to my primary issue with systemd: it's a freaking monster. It does nine million things, but I only need it to do like three things: start services when I tell it to start services, stop them when I tell it to stop them, and restart them if they crash. (if it's configured to do so) That's it. Why do I need or want it to interact with my hardware? Why does it need an integrated web server in order to start apache? Why does it a logging daemon in order to start syslog-ng? Why do I have to use its built in log reader instead of tail, less, grep etc? Where is the boundary between systemd and the rest of my system?

I’m sure the irony is not lost on you regarding the fact that systemd can not possibly run on an alternative platform, thus the situation you just ascribed is not “better” with systemd.
I interview plenty of recent graduates, most of whom come off as "over-confident", to their credit, they most definitely have great pedigrees and compare well with their peers and will likely be great additions.

Taxes, FICA, health insurance and other benefits paid on my behalf come out of my paycheck.

I think happiness is very orthogonal to economic progress. It's a uniquely American myth to believe that GDP growth is a proxy for the happiness of a nation's people. (We export it all over the place).

Social systems which do not provide economic growth have been systematically destroyed over the past few generations. Workers have to be mobile to compete; public spaces have been eroded to favor the privately owned; placement into employment has shifted from personal connection to faceless, autonomous, nationwide filtering; geography of public spaces favors the individual over the group (again, to eliminate sharing of resources); media and culture is far more national or even global, rather than local; religion and all of its communal benefits (and downsides!) is waning...

Some of these systems benefit social cohesion and happiness a lot. Often at the expense of individual liberty, that's why it's easy for Americans to rationalize shedding them.

I don't think it's a grand conspiracy, but it seems obvious to me that this cultural shift is occurring because of the dominance of economic life over all other forms. Unfortunately, economic growth is power, and therefore once one party has it, everyone else must shift to compete. We are seeing this reorganization at every scale, from the individual, to the corporate, to the national, up to the global scale. It isn't even close to being over.

I think millenials/genZ realize that our culture is missing something, but they can't quite articulate what it is. This is because the entire discussion folds into this worldview. Look at how many of us are discussing the price of this or the price of that in this thread!

It can be done, but it's not worth it. Battery swapping was a bet against more battery capacity and faster charging.

Even industrial battery swapping, for forklifts, straddle carriers, AGVs, and such, which was once popular, seems to be on the way out. The machines can get through a workday on one charge now, then charge up while parked. Five years ago there were videos of clever battery swap machines.[1] Not so much now.

For-hire vehicles weren't able to practically compete with taxis until smartphones became capable of "virtual hailing". Uber changed the rules of the game by exploiting this loophole (which was clever of them, no argument there) but in practice they offer the same service that taxis offer but without the regulatory oversight. It's like the government mandating that electricians have an electrical license to take call-outs but the law mentions a telephone line so any old Joe can take call-outs if they use a mobile phone.

The intent of the law is the important aspect. The letter of the law can and should be changed to match the intent.

> life is pointless and meaningless without children

This view won't be well received on a forum with a lot of millennials and Gen-z, but as a millennial myself (late 30s, though) without kids, I would actually agree with you to an extent.

I've already lived and travelled the world. I've volunteered a bit. I've worked and saved money and can afford what I want. And none of these things really do matter the older I get. And I notice that amongst my friends, those with kids, seem to go through life with more of a purpose than us without any kids or even long term partners.

Life seems kind of pointless with or without kids to me, but I think that kids give individuals something to occupy their time, and without that time sink, life becomes boring.

Nonetheless - and this won't go over well - I would like kids and a family - but I've already seen several male friends and relatives utterly destroyed by the US family courts / divorce initiated by their wives, and I'd rather be bored but financially and emotionally 'safe' than completely ruined.

> The collection process itself can be dangerous or unpleasant for the patient.

That’s asinine, obviously he doesn’t mean more data is always better even if the test is invasive or dangerous.

> Biopsies caused by benign findings from a full body scan are not without pain, emotional distress, risk or cost to the patient. Period. It must be weighed against the benefit that the patient would recieve (all in the aggregate, or course).

Both need to be judged on time and cost, but only the biopsy needs to be weighed against risk, not the scan. If people see a scan with anomalies and want dangerous procedures even if the risk is not demonstrated that is a cultural, education, and legal problem. Both for doctors wanting to avoid malpractice ordering unjustified tests, and for patients “wanting it out”.

But if the scan can demonstrate some marginal elevated risk, not the need for immediate intervention but for increased screening, that data could potentially save many lives, and it should be used, not hidden away because of the possibility of overreaction. Researchers need to find how best to use the data and patients and doctors need to be educated in our current best understanding, not pandered to.
A very large printer..

http://www.thermwood.com/lsam_home.htm

Technically they printed it for a mold but that's because fiberglass is better and while you can can print with glass reinforced materials the fibers have to be quite short which reduces their tensile strength compared to composite sheets.

That said if you really wanted too you could print a functional hull, but it's not a good application for it.

Not every manufacturing method is appropriate we can CNC mill a car from a single block of aluminum too but it's not exactly a good manufacturing process for this task.

EDIT: HanseYachts AG apparently prints a 10m (~33ft) hull for one of their Yachts using a cellulose composite filament.

Even ignoring the issue of false positives, which alone is serious enough to make this a dubious idea... that is an extreme thing to ask of people. All my future records? I have no idea what my future holds, and what I may feel about that as I age and experience new problems. Nor how my family might feel about it on my deathbed.
