There is a fuzzy line there, between defining what the job is and how it should be done.

If you say "sand the floor", a contractor that shows up with a power sander and sands the floor is still a contractor.

When Mr. Miyagi kicks away the power sander, reveals two sanding blocks, and says, "No, like this," then Daniel-san is his employee.

If the job is "clean my house on Wednesday no earlier than 8 am and finished by noon, without using bleach", as long as the only thing you're managing is to check the cleanliness of the house at 12:01 on Wednesday, that's still contracting. If you are then surprised that your cleaner subcontracted with the Cat in the Hat, and a Seussian steam-engine rolls in at 11:50 and back out at 11:59, leaving everything spotless and sparkling, you'd best just keep your mouth shut and enjoy the cleanliness. Because if you concern yourself with the who and the how, instead of just the what, where, and when, you should have hired an employee.

If you can't hand off the job to another equally qualified person and still get the money yourself, that's not contracting.

In the metaphor, the "apiarists" should probably have some contracts for honey with queen bees, who then manage their own hives in their own way to make delivery. But then those queens would have negotiating power, and the ability to switch apiarists to get the best price for their honey.
It's not a question of cooling it. It went into a runwaway greenhouse effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_greenhouse_effect) and it lacks hydrogen. All the hypothetical oceans oxygen bonded with carbon and hydrogen/water vapor was blown off by solar wind. The underlying cause was the loss of the protective magnetosphere.

Also, you are probably looking more to continent or small moon size quantities of ice (if that even works, and if the magnetosphere issue was somehow addressed) that metropolis.
> It takes more delta-v to get to the moon than mars

Is that true? I can't see how that'd be true, unless maybe you are considering aerobraking to enter mars orbit and parachutes for landing on the surface (?)
>Eggs are probably not the best example because if you ever eat eggs at a diner or whatever, that sort of gives you an upper bound on the cost

I don't know, I think eggs actually work well. The price of eggs can vary pretty wildly. One store near me sells eggs starting at $3.99 for half a dozen white ones, up to like $8.99 for a dozen free range organic ones and a bunch of prices in between for various quality eggs. Another store sells them starting at like $2.50 for a half dozen white ones and up to $5.99 for the free range organic ones, with all the prices in between being different to the first store. Then, there's the eggs you can buy at the weekly farmer's market, and near daily craft and other fairs where the prices vary drastically from one person's eggs to another. There's also at least 10 or more places between most of the communities here where people sell eggs from their home.

Diner eggs can vary pretty wildly in price too. You can get some pretty high quality eggs from cheap places and some really lousy expensive powdered scrambled eggs. You have no real idea the actual value to cost with diner eggs.

ETA: Prices are in Canadian dollars.

Yeah totally agree that this has no chance until HMDs get a lot more comfortable to wear, and better especially in the resolution department.

This is not a "2D apps on virtual screens" concept though. Every app can be freely moved, meaning there are no limitations to how you set up your workspace(s).

Also, I agree that there are SOME apps that will greatly benefit from making use of immersive/3D/stereo. But the significant majority of apps that you use today are great in 2D and will remain really great in 2D.
I find it mildly amusing that the parent poster mentions the failed Soviet invasion of Afghanistan as one of an evil empire's many crimes, but in your counterpoints, the now-failed US invasion of Afghanistan is not brought up.

(The Soviets had a great, ah, excuse for doing it - they were 'just' trying to combat religious extremism and terrorism... And were 'definitely' not playing balance-of-power games in the Middle East.)
I believe US Republicans call this starve the beast when applying it to government programs they don't like.
The Clockwork Orange (1971)
An interesting movie about society and the nature of morality
Everyone in the comments here debating the merits of Mars vs the Moon vs Titan seems to have missed the whole point of this article. The author is arguing that anywhere other than Titan is infeasible due to recent research suggesting that Galactic Cosmic Rays cause significant brain damage (not just increased risk of cancer). In fact, the article argues that the danger is so severe that even getting to Titan quickly enough to mitigate the risk of brain damage during the trip will be a major challenge.

If true, this complicates things significantly. Does anyone know if the dangers of Galactic Cosmic Rays are really as significant as the author is claiming? The author references the 2016 paper "Cosmic radiation exposure and persistent cognitive dysfunction"[1] which was a study conducted on mice. Has there been any further research into the possible effects of cosmic radiation exposure on humans?

Shareholders are scapegoats as well. Just as dividing up CEO compensation among workers would be a drop in the bucket, dividing company profits (or just dividends) amongst them often wouldn't amount to a substantial difference.

Shareholders only have made paper profits in the S&P 500 because the governments of the world have decided that debt has to be cheap in order to avoid another liquidity crisis, therefore assets must be relatively expensive.

This isn't a wealth transfer, it's price inflation. Warren Buffett may have a bigger dollar valuation to his name today, but he couldn't buy any more stock or real estate with it.

"If you want someone to marry you, why don't you just tell me that the first time you meet them?"

Same reasons apply here...

- I want to give you time to see bits of the course and learn about whether it's a good fit for you before making a (nontrivial for some people) purchase

- I want to make sure you're the right fit for the course too

- You're more likely to purchase after getting to know me and the course content, understanding the value, and overcoming your objections

Asking for your email address is the happy middle ground of "can I buy you a drink" between "saying nothing" and "asking someone to marry you".

The only thing going for the moon is its proximity to Earth.

Oh...that's all. So let's ignore for just a second the logistical advantages of figuring out how to actually mount a manned mission to build something non-trivial on another body when you're 3 days away, not 6 months away. Pretend that isn't important.

The moon has water, raw materials, enough gravity things don't just float away, abundant solar and we've already figured out how to get people there and back. We already have an MVP to build on.

On the other hand, a manned Mars mission is still an un-funded wank-fantasy with a disturbingly high failure rate for the unmanned attempts.
We at Amazon want you to test on Amazon's servers! After all, Jeff Bezos owns every server on the planet.

All of those big "unicorn" tech companies you look up to are doing it—everyone from BP to GE to the people who rip you off on concert tickets to the guys that made Fortnite—it's all the rage, nowadays!

The 1956 uprising started with students, led by a member of the previous fascist government. There are some historical reports of racial violence against Jews and the uprising's demands included the re-introduction of capitalism. Most of what I learned about this was from Romanian history books, I can't find relevant English sources right now.

Wanting to re-introduce capitalism. How very fascist of them. How dare they? /s

The fact that you include that in the list of things wrong with the 1956 uprising speaks volumes about where you're coming from.
lol fine:

Banking shouldn't have a reserve ratio. Rather, banks should have to show that they have a claim to each dollar they have loaned out for the period they have loaned it. This means they have to lend short and borrow long.

The insight here is that the problem with banking since time immemorial is rooted in a lie: multiple people have claims of ownership on the same dollar at the same point in time. Rather than using a reserve ratio to paper over this lie, we should simply ban lying. Banks offer CD like products that lock up money for a certain amount of time, and that money can be loaned out for a period less than or equal to that amount of time.

Practically this would imply a balance curve for a bank at time T, B(T) and their loan curve L(T) would need <= B(T) for all T. You would be able to see if a bank was in trouble way out in advance.

Again, this would mean that banks would not need a reserve ratio. A dollar could theoretically be lended out an infinite number of times, so long as the dollar was put back into the bank at a term longer than the next demanded loan.

Finally, I would make banks a special entity partnership, where partners were held liable for losses up to a certain % of revenues.

Yes, I am this much fun at parties.

That is more or less the official rationale, but it's pretty clear that the real reason is that Apple is organizationally opposed to SPIR-V (and Khronos generally). This is a tough needle to thread, so I'm glad forward progress is being made.

Funny we built almost the same product 6 years ago (sold it to a competitor), we even did automated refactoring of Python code. We also developed a regex-like language that could operate on abstract syntax trees / annotated graphs, which we wrote all our checks with. We were working on extending that with a graph database backend and symbolic execution, basically building a large code graph that we would perform pattern matching on. We didn’t finish this work as we sold the company before that, in retrospect I often wonder what would have happened if we had kept developing it.

From my experience it’s quite hard to monetize developer tools except maybe when focusing on security, so it’s good you seem to have that as a focus as well. Good luck!

It works well because apart from washing the virus away, soap denatures its envelope, the little "bag" that actually contains the virus.

That envelope is made up of lipids. IE, molecules of fat. Soap+water dissolves the envelope, so the virus is inactivated.... to infect anyone, it needs the envelope to be present.

Yeah mate, you can tell that stuff to westerners, but not to local people, sorry: Bulgaria and Romania were a victim of this cultish insane "system" for ~45 years, not anymore. And closing one's eyes for communist atrocities is not more normal than nazi supporters lying about the holocost: you have to understand that both ideologies have much in common in their hateful antiutopic histories.

I mean, think about it: really, you don't think a more logical conclusion is that all of USA, commie powers and nazi germany used "political ideologies" for power, war and control? You think "nomenclatura" really cared about financial equality? come on

There is happy music that isn't pop. I agree that "sad" music sounds more beautiful, at least to me, but I also see it as affecting my mood if I listen to it constantly.

So I often choose either to not listen to music at all or to listen to "happy" music that doesn't suck, even if it's not so easy to find something I like.
yes with aerobreaking but I still believe that includes a propulsive landing after. The moon has no atmosphere so it has to be propulsive landing 100%
Not Invented Here Syndrome Is Still Lurking Around
Visualisation of Global Cargo Ships – By Kiln and UCL
I've known several depressed people who spiraled deeper into depression when they could no longer perform their regular 60 minute gym sessions multiple times per week.

This part is hard. I've met people who have difficulties coming to terms with the fact that they're (even temporarily) unable to do something which used to be part of their routine.
Yeah, the typical default solution is to just have the government pay for it.

From an economics standpoint I think the government has little incentive to ensure water quality because there's no competitor to take their business. Just look at Flint. Also once you start subsidizing, what stops people from abusing the water supply? If I'm not paying for the water bill, I won't care to self-regulate the amount I use which puts the amount available in the water source in danger for everyone else.

Since the government already wastes a lot of money, I'm not sure how I feel about this. Not to mention when they realize they need to increase the taxes to cover the cost of researching and drilling for additional sources. A company will make sure it's not wasting money because it needs to stay competitive.

I'm just playing devils advocate here, these are tough problems to solve. I certainly don't possess the industrial knowledge it takes to provide water for millions of people, but some people think the solution is easier than it is. That's all I'm doing in this thread, thought provoking.
Malbolge – Esoteric Programming Language Designed to Be Almost Impossible to Use
I've always thought that LCS were far less harmful than sugar because your consuming 10 times less of the substance than a taste equivalent amount of sugar. You'll notice that when you consume a combination of Sucralose and maltodextrix, there's 10 times less of it (but they make 1tsp taste equivalnet to 1 tsp of sugar), but density is 10 times less.

If this isn't true, then it blows my mind!

Walking around with the same strategy and constraints as everyone else won't work.

Lots of the money in the market is being traded by people who are managing over a billion dollars. They have to find investments that can absorb hundreds of millions of dollars. Your example of people collecting bottles is a perfect analogy of how anyone not moving millions of dollars can find good investments.

Also, it assumes that information is basically the same as 'news'. It's unlikely you will happen to be set up to respond to news as fast as whoever is fastest. However, to use information requires knowledge and comprehension, which is not considered at all. Most money on the market is being moved around by robots using fairly basic statistical models.
I think if that's your standard then you should probably do your own homework, I'm not in your pay.

No. (And also no to JackFr.) The Soviet campaign in Manchuria started on August 8, after Hiroshima but before Nagasaki.

The Japanese plan to use Manchuria for defense of the home islands would never have worked. The US could have put enough naval forces there to make transport of troops and material impossible.
If only there were one that were a reasonable price increment on top of raw storage, like 1.5x or even 2x, instead of 5x what, say, S3 or B2 costs.
Correct, number 2 in your example is not a problem at all, and we have those as well. But not all services actually support this properly IME. Our policy is to create accounts that are generic with strict permissions around a specific automation or service of our own. This happens more in devops than in everyday usage of say a report tool where shutting off a user doesn't matter.

Essentially my example is the same you pointed out though, for the generic admin account you created you will need to use it to administrate the other users etc. What we do is store that admin account in 1Password with 2fa turned on for it and that way it is never locked to a user with 2fa on their personal device.

For a little more detail too, we will setup sub account for automated systems which have restricted permission (and likely use ssh/key pairs to login for automation). However, when you need to update something about these accounts many times you have to login as them and make a change, so in that case again we store the password and 2fa in 1Password so the team can handle that quickly and isn't stuck because one person left.

I am always open to other ideas though if you think I am missing other options.
they are taking masks that could be used here instead. There are so any masks made in the world so every use of one is a mask that someone else couldn't use.

Obviously factories have abilities to ramp up production to meet demand so the above is simplistic. However they can only ramp up so far (or fast) when the limit is reached the above applies.
