I ran the numbers for going in the other direction.

Suppose that:

* The 99 slower gears are massless.
* the fastest gear weighs 10 grams
* The fastest gear is a cylinder of radius of 2cm
* The slowest gear completes 1 rotation every 3 days.
* Relativity only applies when I want it to.

We have:

* The fastest gear has an angular velocity of:
w=10^95 radians/second = 10^95 s^-1 //Since radians are unitless
* The fastest gear has a moment of intertia given by:
I=mr^2 / 2 = 10^-2 * 4*10^-4 / 2 kg*m^2
* The fastest gear has a rotational energy of:
E=Iw^2 / 2= 10^-2 * 4*10^-4 / 2 kg*m^2 * 10^190 s^-2 / 2
E = 10^184 kg*m^2*s^-2
* Ignoring all of relativity except E=mc^2, we have
m = E/c^2
m ~ 10^184 kg*m^2*s^-2 / 10 ^ 17 m^2*s^2
m ~ 10^167 kg
* Acknowledging more of relativity now, we have:
Schwarzschild radius = 2Gm / c^2
Schwarzschild radius ~ 10^-12 m^3*kg^-1*s^-2 * 10^167 kg * 10^-17 m^-2*s^2
Schwarzschild radius ~ 10^138 m

Giving us a black hole large enough to fit about 112 googol observable universes.

I'm sure that I'm missing some relativistic effects here, but I don't even know how to begin to approach that.
It might be more expensive in the long run, but it's an operational expense rather than a capital expense, which I would argue most software projects are.

This is an incredibly misleading article They conveniently left out the fact that GM's proposed battery for their 400 mile car is double the size of the battery Tesla currently uses to get 390 miles. GM said that they will offer a 200 KWh battery that will give their vehicle 400 miles of range at some point in the next year or two. You can buy a Tesla today with a 100 KWh battery that get 390 Miles of range. This isn't a positive thing for GM it means their cars are going to be more expensive for the same range.
Nah, they're actually fantastic people, and I don't begrudge them their small talk. I just don't join in, and am noting that it's a difference in time accounting. Our work is fascinating and there's a lot of bigtalk too. And actually I'm totally happy to small talk with them in a social setting, I just don't like to be at the office when I'm socializing.

I'm not sure what GIS school is. Was this an undergraduate program? Having lunch with professors is something that I am not really aware of people doing non-romantically, and certainly never did myself in college.

When I went back to try to complete my degree in my late 20s, I thought I needed to find an internship if possible, and I went to the office of whatever they called it, and asked for suggestions on where to start. The guy responded that (as I was a transfer student that hadn't been there for long) he didn't know me and couldn't recommend me. I was taken aback and said of course I wasn't asking for a personal recommendation from him, just general hints or advice on what to do.

After that, I applied to be a volunteer at a local hospital, which made me jump through a lot of hoops just to work for them for free. I did things like putting educational material in binders and assembling nametags until I graduated, and created a resume based on that and my one-day-at-a-time assignments at a temp agency. And it got me my first corporate IT job a month or two before graduation - they let me work part time until then.

So, I wasn't sure where I was going with this (other than comparing my experiences) until I finished, but it seems like a pattern that when I've gotten a cold shoulder from men, I've gotten a break from women. Every time I've really needed to get back on my feet employment wise, I've volunteered to prove I was able to cope with a job, and at a place that was disproportionately women. And after years of being underpaid, a woman offered me close to a market rate salary (although I have reason to think she may have considered it a mistake).

If you feel you've always been disadvantaged by how men treat you, I hear you implicitly saying women can't substitute in your platonic relationships.

It's true that the US has more gun violence than other first world countries, but we also has more violence and crime in general.

Within the US, there is no statistically significant correlation (r = -0.02) on the state level between firearm ownership and firearm homicide. (There is a statistically significant correlation between firearm ownership and firearm deaths, but this is due to suicides.)

Make of this what you will, but it's not substantiated by the facts the claim that restricting gun ownership would have a strong impact on homicides.

You can look at this list and sort by gun murder rate and see what kind of states come out on top: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_Sta...

Here is a strongly political Medium article about the matter: https://medium.com/handwaving-freakoutery/everybodys-lying-a...
And yet the shotgun is so effective at murder even the mustard gassing asshole Germans balked at their use.
I remember it the other way around - I first heard about 24 from neo-cons saying the next 9/11 would never have happened if the government had more Jack Bauers willing to "do what needed to be done." Torture was already popular with the administration, at least.

Americans, meanwhile, were angry and many just wanted Muslims to suffer, and their government was telling them that torture (sorry, "enhanced interrogation") was not only just, but necessary and effective, and that opposing it was not only cowardice but borderline treason, and would lead to the next 9/11.
Maybe, but GM is also planning to use that battery for their electric Hummer, which is a significantly bigger car than any Tesla. Teslas have weird, non-mainstream shapes to boost efficiency.

I’d also note that Tesla EPA range is extremely aggressive (they set their own dyno multipliers) while other EV manufacturers are more conservative. That means roughly 75% range for Teslas in the real world.
As much as guns have grown deadlier since 2A was penned, they ultimately scaled linearly; we don't currently have weapons available to citizens which can destroy a city. If the police need to counter a citizen's misuse of guns, they can easily deploy 10x guns of their own.

This used to be true of secrets: if there was a legitimate reason for police to crack a safe, it was difficult, but possible. But with encryption, you no longer need 10x force; you need closer to (10^100)x force (not an expert, but close enough for illustration).

What's neglected/forgotten is that weakened crypto creates a power asymmetry in the other direction: while there's no way to scale safe-cracking to (10^100), such that the feds can auto-crack every safe at will, that is absolutely feasible for digital locks, if those locks are forced to be arbitrarily weak. The NSA would have the resources to pre-crack and cache every single encrypted signal, "just in case".

The nature of the mathematical asymmetry leaves no middle ground: either every citizen has access to unbreakable locks, or no one will [0] (except for the Feds themselves, of course): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPBH1eW28mo

[0] There is one cogent comparison to the arguments of 2A advocates here: "if you outlaw crypto, only outlaws have crypto". In fact, it's even worse: hypothetically the feds can track gun-running, and guns are (currently) non-trivial to manufacture oneself. But all it takes is a small snippet of GitHub code and/or a white paper to craft an unbreakable lock, and disguise the data as noise, regardless what violence governments threaten. The only people affected by restrictions would be law-abiding citizens.
> Netlify’s co-founder Chris Bach says they weren’t looking for new funding, but felt with the company growing rapidly, it would be prudent to take the money to help continue that growth.

Never understood this. Is there an example of a company that took funding "just in case" and it was worth it?

I love Netlify (my business currently depends on it), but I'm getting the idea they are feeling the pressure of "We got something big we have to make it as big as possible", which is not inherently bad but in Netlify's case could easily take the product in the wrong way.

Their focus on enterprises especially worries me, as their current feature set works amazingly for "indie hackers" and small businesses.
Yeah that happens often. I ran these campaigns for two years - you effectively get 200 dials, knobs, and levers to pull all making minor changes to an incredibly complicated adtech ecosystem. My first year I ran 80 of these campaigns, and could spend <20 minutes a week on each.

Missing something like “exclude recent purchasers” was easy to forget, but easier to not even have time to set up. (It might take 10-30 minutes to set that up)
"Our first priority is to ensure the safety of our employees and customers around the world," an eBay spokesperson told CNBC in a statement.

...by restricting the sale of items whose purpose is to increase the safety of their users? The inflated prices are bad, but making it harder to acquire such items --- even at higher cost --- seems an even worse situation.

The spokesperson added that eBay is also "taking significant measures to block or quickly remove items" on its marketplace that make unsubstantiated medical claims.

On the other hand, I think this is a far more sensible thing to do.
This is just my own personal opinion based on what i've seen but, some people should be managers, they enjoy it, they're great at it, it's their career path. Some people shouldn't be managers, no matter how good they are at something, it bores them, they don't like directing and organizing people, they like working on direct specific problems, they are actually really good at whatever skill it is they're being considered as manager for.

Some anectdota, a friend of mine, was really good.at.their job, they'd worked hard for the better part of a decade, trained some good people and grew the company, took a role as manager while his trainees took on his old duties. His job became pretty easy, his employees were good and didn't need much management, the rest of what he needed to do was pretty simple by comparison, his job came with a pay rise, but, he became fucking miserable.

He didn't get to work on the day to day things any more, when problem did occur, he couldn't really get his hands dirty, he'd delegate and the problem would get solved. Though, when something did actually go wrong, he was responsible, when there were complaints by employees, disputes and other things, he ended up dealing with them and he hated it.

Contrast that with another friend, he was good at his job, but didn't really care that much about specifics, tended to already be the kind of person who would delegate or organize, always the party host or the event organizer kind of person, also got promoted to a management position and couldn't be happier. He's the kind of person who'd always talk about the results of things, would brag about group achievements like personal achievements, and generally always cared more about end results than processes and from what I know, is a pretty damn good manager and is happy with their career path.

My first friend though recently had the opportunity to go back to a more technical role and has been a fair bit happier since.

Just some of my observations anyway.
I have the same "Coronavirus Protection Mask" in the screenshot and I got it from Amazon a year ago. It barely works for keeping dust out of my nose when I am using the table saw. I feel comfortable saying it will offer zero protection for airborne illnesses.
It boggles my mind how Teams can be this terrible.

How?? How did they fuck it up this badly?

It's the only program I've ever used ever where I have difficulty finding the options menu. I still have trouble finding it. Like it's not something I figure out once and I'm like, "huh, that's weird" and then I know where it is. I have to relearn where it is every time, clicking and right clicking on random UI elements until the menu bar pops up.

Why can't I turn off the highlights for "random user 10000 has joined the channel"? I don't fucking care.

Why is the notification configuration so confusing? What the shit is a "banner"? What is a "feed"? Why is it that I don't know what half of the events even mean?

How does that need much of a "reputable site"?! It's an infectious disease with long incubation, infectiousness for a bit while not having symptoms, no vaccine and no cure ... what do you think would happen if we didn't do anything to prevent spreading?

Current R0 estimates seem to be around 3, so you would need 66% immunity to drop that below 1, currently the only likely way to get immunity is through infection and survival, so that's 200 million americans infected before infected cases shrink naturally.
Airbnb doesn't let you leave a review if your stay was cancelled - which it will be if you experience real problems.

Taobao, the largest marketplace in the world that can sell $38 billion worth of stuff per day, has the same problem. That's why it's such a mediocre experience for certain niches, e.g. books. First, you cannot leave a review if you return or even engage in after-sales dispute. Second, since this is a marketplace, you usually do not review the item itself, you cannot leave a bad mark if you don't like your new laptop, because the shop is just a seller. So 99.9999% reviews on Taobao are along the lines of "shipped fast, received in 2 days, not bad, a bit of plastic stench and the box was broken, 5 stars".

That's obvious. I didn't say they were perfect, just far from homogeneous. And there's not much to learn from very homogeneous societies in this regard.

The question for the complex heterogeneous societies isn't whether they fail, but rather what direction they are moving in. Arguably both China and the US have moved backwards of late.

Haha, point. To the extent that the term still applies, "periodic fasting" would be more accurate; but then, that could just as easily refer to yearly fasting during Ramadan. Does one describe the action, or the absence of action? The norm, or the exception? I dunno, language is a funny thing. :)
There are at least 6 people on my team who come into work when they are sick. All of us can work from home, have excellent medical insurance, and are on salary. I asked in a staff meeting and was told that telling or suggesting people go home violates their right to privacy.
You may be onto something. It took my wife years to accept my gun ownership. In her case it was very emotional response based mostly on never having seen one ( and I guess seeing all sorts of movies and breaking news on a regular basis ). She recently started talking of getting her own.

I may have said before on this site, but we, as a group, suck at framing issues. We try to appeal to logic and reason, while other groups play full-blown manipulation campaigns. It also does not help that as a group we are not that cohesive.

You don't know if GM was talking about Hummer or Bolt when they were talking about 400 miles batter.

You don't know how big (or small) the electric Hummer will be because it doesn't exist. GM didn't even show a picture and they didn't share any specs.

Not to mention that Tesla's Cybertruck will be 500 miles next year, almost certainly with a battery smaller than 200 kW.

No matter how you slice it, Tesla's cars are vastly more efficient today than what GM is hoping to do few years from now.
Those are fair efforts. Good job.

In my experience you can achieve a lot with FaaS - but you still need an API, database and storage - which Netlify Functions doesn’t offer out of the box. I have a couple of sites deployed on Netlify with a ‘serverless’ backend deployed to AWS separately.

SXSW cancellation not covered by insurance
Butthurt much aren't you? It takes a quick look at the logos compared to see that it looks like shit, no contrast. You just do not see it. I was sceptical about the headline as well but if you just have to lie to yourself the go ahead.
Another way to look at the idea is that volatility seems to be ~constant, and any efforts to suppress it (by easing) result in a surge later on (hard landing). What we may see is the unwind of the easy money that has been sucking risk premiums out of the markets. Capitalism cannot work without risk premiums/cost of capital/hurdle rates. It's not capitalism any more because the capital has no decision to make (everything will be funded, no matter how good or dumb).

And as this advances people will be reminded that stocks are not "basically better savings accounts", and that while they thought they're "long term investors" they are in fact not. The price agnostic buyer of ETFs will turn into a price agnostic seller. Happened many times in the past.
Well, there goes the theory of waiting to cancel to collect insurance [1]...

This makes the delays even more incomprehensible. Seems it wasn't greed after all; it was just sheer irresponsibility.

It does sort of raise the question of how interrupts are handled. Short reads / EINTR and suddenly this mechanism is less efficient than open+read+close. Depending on how SA_RESTART is implemented, it may not help. Do consumers have to mask signals around readfile(), and if so, are we saving any system calls?

Now Diamond Princess let's us estimate Serious / Total, and say Italy let's us estimate Death / Serious (they probably catch all serious cases, and have less variance since they have larger numbers). So it may be possible to combine to get a good estimate of Death / Total.

Possibly significant source of error is age skew.

But I can do all sorts of dangerous stuff already and it isn't illegal.

Guns are like vaccines, I think. If only some people own guns for self-defense, as you say, they will not have too much use for them. But if some double-digit fraction of the population are packing heat at any given time, there is a sort of "herd immunity" effect. While the individual chance any single individual will get to use them is still low, it will put powerful incentives against robbery and free up our prisons.
